Grand Christmas Board of Fortune Game (2017) - Guess Who's Who?
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Round 4 - Yellow Card
So Crackers was born in July 1991, out of wedlock. His mother had a boyfriend and one night he was made.
Once his dad found out he was gonna be a father he darted. Mum says it was amicable, but I highly doubt it. His mother then married the following December, to someone completely different, who became my adoptive father. Met the biological one once, but he was a coward and a fraud.
They subsequently got separated, and my mum remarried. So I basically have 3 dads - a biological one which I never see, an adoptive father who likes to ask silly questions and a stepfather who likes to fall asleep after too many brandies.

How did I get dragged into this? 
I think I remember signing up for this one night when I was drunk but never checked back in.
I'm fecked aren't I?

Yes you did, post 117,
You lost 2k, won 1k, 3rd draw you need to write a letter and 4, you lost 1k
Right so I need to write a letter to RiPs boss now and then see what challenge I get for this round next?
Or am I too late for round 3?

I don't think that matters mate
No, you’re not too late as we’re waiting for @Rooney in Paris to decide which one he likes, I believe, and the 4th has already been drawn on the last page and you lost 1k, so just write the letter.
$8,000
Will their fate be swift like the swinging of the sword of justice? Or will you make them sweat, picking them off one by one?
Round 4 Task
FCBarca
I imagine him to be bald (by choice) with a rotating choice of facial hair depending on if Pep shaved this morning or not.
He randomly substitues Spanish words into everyday speak with no context at all. Has visited HMV within the last 18 months to purchase Oasis entire back catalogue and has convinced himself he would look good in a parka.
Has recently advertised his German translation dictionary and poorly fitting laderhosen on a local buy and sell but hasn't had a buyer at time of posting.

Should I write a letter, do the task 4, or just wait for the wrath of Gods?
@fc barca
If my calculations are correct (highly debateable) I am £5000 to the good. With this hard earned cash I plan to buy Park Lane and Mayfair and put a hotel on each property.
I believe this wins me the game.
I believe this wins me the game.
I'm not sure. I was thinking of renaming them all to
Douchebag1
Douchebag2
and so forth.
Any suggestions?
Do Task 3 as you're supposed to. Or else....
See if Niall or a mod can see which forum each of them posts in most and ban them for a few days from it.
So good. So so goodEarn $5000 
Move on again..
@Edgar Allan Pillow wth does "Vacant ($6,000)" mean??
If you've got 6k, you can buy this spot, and everyone who lands on it from then on has to pay you a certain amount, I think.
Thanks, that sounds right. Haven't played the real Monopoly for decades.
It’s in the OP guys.

Round 3 Task
Dear Madam,
this will sound a little bit awkward and must admit I had second doubts about writing you on the subject in the first place considering that we're business related. But, life is short and at the end of the day, I truly know that I would regret more the choice of not doing it, then doing it.
Will cut the story short and say that I grow incredibly fond of you from the very first moment I laid my eyes on you. So, I will take this chance and propose a dinner in my favourite restaurant Pierre Gagnaire, 6 Rue Balzac.
I'm fully aware that this proposition may find you slightly surprised and to tell you the truth I'm a little bit surprised myself for writing it in the very first place but the desire to at least take you on the dinner is something I couldn't pass on. If you find this inappropriate or don't find the proposition interesting I will fully understand and as the business side of things is concerned there are no worries about my future professional behaviour.
Will be totally honest in the end and say that I was so nervous about writing this letter that I drink a bottle of my finest red wine to get a little bit of courage. As you see it did work out for me. Not only that but I will go full out here and say that I would basically bang the living shit out of you and that's not something I think I ever said in such a straightforward way to another woman.
"C’est cela l’amour, tout donner, tout sacrifier sans espoir de retour"
Warm regards,
Rooney in Paris
Next morning:
Dear Madam,
can you please and for the love of God forget about the last sentence of my e-mail. The dinner proposition still stands and would be actually a perfect chance to laugh this little bravado of mine.
If not, would sincerely appreciate if I still have my job.
Warmest regards,
RiP

Finally in the money
I think those last two should be disallowed for being late 
Oh dear, I didn't realise I had to do the task, I was patiently waiting for a random poster to decide my fate.
My cock-up, I shall take the punishment like Cina's mum, on the chin (and face in general).

Round 4 task

He says it will "really put the rottweiller among the pigeons!"
With a procession of New York society women seen on his arm at movie premieres, there has been speculation about his private life, but he has always professed to be "married to the job......or in the service of our Dark Lord!"
