Once again we break into your regularly scheduled programming: Thursday Morning Pixar Presents: Toy Story XXXIII with more information on the Golden Ticket forgeries. This time we take you to our correspondent in Finland, Reijo Hämäläinen. What can you tell us Reijo?

Well John we have learned that a very successful online poker player obtained a forged copy of a Willy Wonka ticket as part of a bet. Government officials learned of this transaction after the forger turned himself in and named the suspect as the holder of the forgery. However, in a twist of events the forger--and here is a picture of what he looks like
--was tipped off and escaped in a private jet to China. Chinese officials are being extremely uncooperative in extraditing this suspect since embargoes against Willy Wonka Chocolate have soured the relationship between WWCF and China.

Thanks Reijo. And once again the bright side to this horrible story is that there is another ticket floating around somewhere in the world, meaning there are three tickets available. There would have been four but a large Walrus found one last night.

We return you to: Thursday Morning Pixar Presents: Toy Story XXXIII, staring Tom Chanks, Jim Allen and Kelsey Grimmer

I'm going to have to sit this one out. I'm trying to make an effort to play less games, I thought I'd start after this but I just realized I'm going to china on monday, don't know what my availability will be, but likely only mornings and evenings at the hotel.. I'll probably have a hard enough time with the games I'm in currently.

I might be available to sub in though if the need arises.

Someone should take my place though! This game is going to be a hoot, I'm sure.

well if people keep /outing at this rate the game may still be open for signups when you return. Feel free to snag a spot if there is one open at that point. Have fun in China!

[Eevee]

Yes, I very well may!

Mrgh, I want to /in, but this is a -real- game, not BM, so I'm concerned about toasting habits.

I usually put peanut butter on my toast.  Not sure how you feel about that.  Definitely better than vegemite.

Ironic, given I'm on the Australian World Cup Dominion Team.

I count you as /in for now. But let me know if you feel that you want to /out later.

But does he have a golden ticket?

[manda2014]

Any guess on about when this will start? I'd like to play but I can't do anything until after December 14th...

[manda2014]

On second though I could probably swing a start on the 11th or 12th... potentially a few days earlier, but with the understanding that I'd be all but useless for a couple days (finals, you know).

[yuma]

I would hope that it starts before then, but if a spot is still open come say... December 8th, you are in

Please note two rule changes

6. As a general rule you should aim for more than one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving. Please treat this game as a commitment. If you can't commit to this game because of outside activities/responsibilities, other forum games or other contributing factors please /out before the start of the game.
...

5. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 24 hours of no activity (VLA posts in the official VLA thread negate automatic prods). A prodded player has 24 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.

This and this + the fact that I have plenty of free time right now + the fact that I will not have plenty of free time once mid-January rolls around meaning that I need to play as much as I can while I can = I need a ticket

[yuma]

So if chairs is playing this game is full.

chairs I need confirmation that you are playing. No pressure. i am not in a huge hurry to start this up so if you feel you can't play quite yet it isn't a problem.

[yuma]

Oops, I forgot to remove Eevee from his slot. So his slot and maybe chairs' is still open.

[Voltaire]

Actually.../in.

[yuma]

Actually.../in.

Do you have a Golden Ticket?

[Voltaire]

Do you have a Golden Ticket?

I do, I do, I do!

[yuma]

So chairs is not in atm. So there is officially one slot still open.

[manda2014]

Count my spot as open if there's someone else interested with a better schedule. Don't let me get in the way of the game starting.

Manda, how about we count your spot as IN so we can start the game?  We're okay with you just posting a few times a day.

Are you wanting to start it now? I REALLY can't start until after Thanksgiving.
