<p>since most of you guys seem to be more quiet than normal, i had an idea, a crazy idea but it just might work.</p>

<p>i remember someone saying that about 150 TASPlicants (a number that has surely grown) have posted on this thread, and four (maybe more?) posters have said they received interviews.</p>

<p>how bout we make a running list of ppl with interviews much like we did when we posted who applied.</p>

<p>just so i can feel the impending doom of having all of the interview spots fillled up by kids from the pnw before i can even call on friday…</p>

6322

<p>Sure, I’ll make it right now.</p>

6323

<p>major geographic location would be good too:</p>

<p>new england, NY region, pnw, midwest, the south, the west, etc. </p>

<p>thx hudson</p>

6324

<p>I’m afraid I don’t know their regions of residence, but here’s the list so far…</p>

<p>NOTIFIED INTERVIEWEES:

  1. Tyler09
  2. Erhabe
  3. Topspinwu</p>

<p>…Bwahaha. You have uncovered my super-secret plot to undermine Wink’s secret plots with my crazy voodoo magic. Do you join me with my wicked, wanton plot? Y/N</p>

6326

<p>well seeing as i have my own faction, no.</p>

6327

<p>Does it involve expired cheese? My allegiance is easily bought.</p>

6328

<p>There’s a Panic faction? Do tell!</p>

<p>If it succeeds, I will inform all of my minions to mail any and all expired cheese directly to your residence. I might even furnish a minifridge to keep your packages from melting in the sun. Might even throw in a limberger dairy and let you go right to the source.</p>

6329

<p>Long live the voodoo.</p>

6330

<p>yes it is an almost purely anti-winkism faction. i broke off from winkism when i was not awarded a large enough chunk of Japan. the manifesto is in progress but South America will be forcibly added to my coalition and i just that word loosely. it will mostly be a socialist state, the kind we are used to of course. i will be at the top but everyone else gets to share :)</p>

6331

<p>I’m swiss, baby. Neutral all the way.</p>

6332

<p>ok “the zephyr song” by RHCP is wonderfully mellow.</p>

<p>and classik do not make a choice you will regret. my underlings will spook every cow on earth and spike all cheese supplies except the ones coming into my compound if you do.</p>

<p>donny is belgium, so who is going to invade?</p>

6333

<p>Donny can stick to his watches, chocolate and bank vaults all he wants. Everyone knows that the Swiss’ ability to stay neutral based on their location is only a farce now in the days of air warfare. Geneva is as much under threat as Belgium is whenever Germany decides it’s too big for its borders.</p>

<p>Jesus, Panic, stop stealing my thoughts!</p>

<p>Classik, I’d like to assert that spooked expired cheese is only more hauntingly delicious.</p>

6334

<p>she is lying to you classik. in the case that that is true my underlings will kidnap all the cows and kill the rest when my compound fills, it will be bleeding kansas for the world and over dairy.</p>

<p>and i beat you but you were more eloquent.</p>

<p>aluminum hat not working ay ;)</p>

6335

<p>I’ve already placed a sizable herd into a secret containment facility in case of nuclear attack. No one wants radioactive whipped cream. Not even a little.</p>

<p>So no worries, nothing will come between you and your addiction on my side of the camp. But if she’s willing to ruin cheese for everyone in the world, Classik, can you run the risk of allowing her to come to power?</p>

<p>No, I think I need to switch to heavy duty foil. Like, military kitchen grade. (:</p>

6336

<p>Hauntingly? That sounds a lot like ghosts…(:</p>

<p>Belgium? Like those communist waffles? I think not! Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!</p>

6337

<p>Inner…conflict raging…cheese…hauntingly delicious?..noooooo STOP THIS MINDLESS CONFLICT!! CAN’T YOU SEE YOU’RE TEARING THIS FAMILY APART!!!</p>

<p>On another note, I think “Under the Bridge” wins any chill song debate, ever.</p>

6338

<p>Don’t be frightened, Donny. How many times do I have to tell you, they don’t exist! I know you feel otherwise, but can you give me a single conclusive piece of evidence that they’re real? (:</p>

<p>Belgium is not communist at all! You’re the red, silly.</p>

<p>Yeah, Classik, the whole trying-to-annihilate-each-other-to-achieve-world-domination thing makes the family reunions a little awkward… Try making small talk over the fruit salad with someone you’ve been wrestling in a power struggle with for untold seconds. But actually don’t try. Because it’s pointless. Because there’s really no small talk to make except, “Wow, I wonder who took the time to actually peel all these grapes?” They’ll nod a little, make a noise of agreement and won’t look you in the eye. Trust me on this one.</p>

6339

<p>at least i revealed my policies what are yours cira?
classik you will be given special diplomatic power, you can have central america.
and baby i have all the black market nukes plus the ones that Saddam just /happened/ to not have. i’m faster than the UN. submit to my power or see the wrath of the Panic Socialist Movement. and trust me im the soft one, Wink’s manifesto calls for enemies to have their hearts eaten out.</p>

6340
