You, mean CJ would physically threaten to stampede anyone not giving him his rightful royal title? (Since he might be able to check votes, or at least bribe Joe into giving him the names...)

This is a good point. It would almost make me feel regret to have sent you threatening emails.

An evil goat, aka spawn of the devil, might be immortal for all we know. So, with committed harassment from the fan base, his admitting defeat could occur around 2084 at the earliest. I'm not willing to wait this long. I'd suggest the poll be closed, before the results of the vote for the yearly awards (which I'm quite confident will confirm this one.)

So you just need to swap "yes" with "no", and all of a sudden CJ is no longer Queen of Evilest cliffhangers? Despite what all major search engines say? That would be weird.

Though I haven't tried yet, I'd say it's more difficult to off 5 to 25 people with a knife than with a gun. Too lazy to quote Graeme underneath, I'll say that I went hunting with my relatives as a kid, and that my dad had showed me how to use a gun by the age of 15, which I think was illegal, but I didn't develop any homicidal tendencies thereafter. So there must be some cultural issue at stake, in having guns available from a very young age, but there must be yet other personal problems triggering the shooting spree. (Sorry for posting such pointless contribution, but, well...)

Same here. We cannot let an impostor claim the title rightfully earned by our glorious leader, can we?

How can one put this any better? And how can an author refuse to be paid such a tribute? Should we bribe CJ with cabbage to get him to admit the truth?

I should have said: "Get two rooms, you four!"

It seems I've hit something here...

Admin needed! There's flirting going on in this thread! Let's keep the moral standards of this forum to a decent level.

No one has proved the rumor they were the same person wrong yet, right?

Yes, but this time Dimitri is going to check. What do you guys think of Vladimir? Is he really this naive? Or does he have ulterior motives?

Activity went down maybe only because everybody's flabbergasted by J/TS' evilness. It has nothing to do with you posting. I thought Carlisle Island was named thus in tribute to the country musician Bill Carlisle, rather than after the UK city. But a little search proved me wrong.

That's right. Some dark, long kept family secret/ childhood trauma may have caused him to want to build a nuke bomb and get 6 million people to become the subjects of his kingdom. I mean, maybe his mom didn't let him have seconds for dessert, hence his desire for revenge. This happens all the time, and to the best people, doesn't it?

Darn, I misunderstood the chapter, I thought it was all about cows; actually this makes things clearer.

More like so efficient. And ruthless.

No one pointed out how the absence of the plant and its adventures changed the tone of the chapter. That's what I liked about the atmosphere of this one, the unity of location with Instinct getting more involved in adventures.

I was of course perfectly aware of this. The reason I reproduced this extract, actually obtained from an anonymous source (who belongs to an endangered species, which is why I won't give it away for any reason), was to show that The Scar might mix and confuse Instinct's members, whom he loathes, but that he wouldn't confuse a GPS model for another one. I really didn't read Brandon as Graeme did, and more as Steve. On top of being the new guy, and maybe not inclined in any manner to rock star antics, he also doesn't belong to the family. Plus I saw him as better in a certain number of ways, hence why the brothers would rely on him more than use him. Thanks a lot, Conner. Sadly enough, I didn't write this, but bought it from an insider who has access to the text. And I paid a fine amount, of course. My only problem that so far, evry time I was given a sneak preview, it disappeared from CJ's version which I eventually got. I suspect some animal conspiracy.

I hope you feel much nicer after this confession, and giving away so many spoilers, Brother Graeme. I'll calm down now, since we've not reached page 2 yet, hence not having gotten to this silly period in the week.

So, on one hand you applaud The Scar's tricks wholeheartedly, but on the other one your ethos prevents you from giving away spoilers. Come on, Graeme, yield to the Dark Side, and let us know what to expect from our favorite evil goat's mind. Pulllease?

You all seem to now consider the Scar a big f...ck up. Nevertheless, he's a CJ character. Enough said, you all see what I mean. And I DO hope you've got nothing to see with this guy, Graeme. He WILL remember what precise model of GPS he bought. CJ'll make sure of this. Trust him. He's the Queen of Evilest Cliffhangers, so this is way too tempting... As a Zeta-reader, I have some privileges, and thus am able to give you an unauthorized sneak peek into chapter 27. You don't even want to know what's featured in 26.

And tons of free publicity for A&F. I think we should pull something like this with the company I work for. Shock value rules.

I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental. I've promised not to be judgmental... OK, I've repeated it to myself enough. Time for my immediate reaction as I first read. Yeah, people spend their money as they want. I think I'll never mind luxury clothes as long as I pay for labor and craft, not brand. Tailored clothing, yes. Ordinary clothing with a nice sticker at ten times the price, no. And having been poor for a long time, I've managed to find some very nice cheap clothing in thrift shops or cheap stores. Of course you exploit foreign labor, but with a moderate margin going to the middlemen. Oh, and don't you guys think that exploitingthe image of these poor A&F models, turning them into objects for the whole world to see is pretty tasteless? Like, really tasteless? Mmmh? *types on his keyboard furiously to get a catalog of A&F*
