Hey so, I'm having family over and we're having a big family dinner tonight, around 6pm.

So, I won't be able to get onto the thread at that time. If possible, I'd like an extension to 7pm. Otherwise, we can pick another challenger or I can forfeit, depending on what the mods think is best.

I am fine with it, but in the future if someone has an issue with the time, they should say something when the time is announced, not the day of the challenge. I plan around the times we are given.

7 is fine for me as well. That means I can do dinner with a friend early and then play the CHALLENGE.

Meinberg, how do you feel your treatment by your fellow Housemates relates to the narrator in Ralph Ellison's classic Invisible Man and his struggles?

Well, I have been ostracized and criticized. I have been pushed to the borders of our little tribe by the intolerance and close-mindedness of my fellows. But I don't think that's an adequate comparison.

No, I would argue that I am a shaman. I commune with the wild, untamed forces of the land, the mysterious pulses of this world that beat beneath the surface and I bring back the wisdom of the ages and the manna of the world back to my peers in my tribe. It is only natural that they reject me, for my ways and garment are strange. But that rejection in turn makes me into the perfect go-between, for I stand between the worlds of man and the ephemeral.

It's now time for the Power of Veto competition.



This competition is more similar to an Auction. Punishment vs Reward! Here's how it works. Your goal in this competition is to walk away with the most points possible. I will list either a Reward or Punishment for bidding. Only the first post to bid for the item will win the points alloted to it. However, if you bid for a punishment at all, even if you don't get the points, you must take the punishment. Punishments earn points, Rewards lose points. You CAN fall into negative points here, so if you feel like you really need veto, maybe don't take any Rewards. Everyone clear on the rules?
