I ought to do something for my turn then I guess! All the hubbub about the Dark Watch has been quite overwhelming. Seeing as I only have the one card to play I will mainline it directly into play.
My little Cyaneous maned Prarie Dog, it is time for you to brush off your best impression of The Bard:
I have no idea what the heck that Hubba Bubba card is supposed to mean, so it looks like a 60 point penalty for me!
Did you draw an iambic pentagon?
(Wait no, did Silverleaf draw what I said?)
For I have my own card (not in this game),
Which has the same effect, but different name...
Oh, I have been waiting for that card.
It's gonna be a fun one, I must say.
A quick Google search reveals that Ubbi Dubbi is a pseudo-language similar to Pig Latin popularized by the TV Show Zoom. To speak it, put "ub" before each vowel sound, lubike thubis. Fubor ubexubampuble, "Hubbub" wubould bube "hububbubub"!
MubcBubehruber, yubour tuburn!
... Pass. Since [redacted] stole my hedgehog and derailed my entire plan, I don't have anything valuable to do this turn.
Alright, then. You get two cards and play passes to Silverleaf.
Just a thought, but does the moderator also count as a player? *evil grin* I think we should take a vote on it. All in favour?
I do not count as a player unless a card is played saying otherwise.
Also:
60-point penalty: Failure to post in Ubbi-Dubbi
vvvAnd another -60pts for that one! (I obviously won't be counting any posts you make outside this thread, but all the ones you make here are under the Curse's influence)
grumble grumble here's hoping I get a bunch of blank cards then
Hey Silverleaf, you have just a bit more than an hour left to play a card before you lose your chance! After 5:27pm(Eastern Time), I'll end the round.
Well I'd better make this an express turn then... have a cat. GM, where do babies come from?
The father's sperm and the mother's egg combine into a single cell, which slowly developes into a fetus over a course of 11 months. When the fetus is ready to be born, the mother unhinges her jaw and the infant is forced out of her gaping mouth. A special set of muscles located just behind her toungue help with the delivery. Mothers are known to get odd cravings during the pregnancy, and may find themselves eating items such as baby clothes and blankets to improve the comfort of the child. These items are stored in the placenta organ so the baby may take its beloved luggage with it during birth.
BlueHairedMeerkat, now free of the hex Mezike had bounced back at him, seized revenge by cursing him to speak only in Ubbi Dubbi or subuffuber thube cubonsubequubencubes. Mezike, unsure how to speak it, has so far lost 180 points in all. But, he escalated the fight by challenging his attacker to speak like a certain bard. Not Elan( who is still just cheerfully playing songs in Mezike's tree, Steve), but the Bard, the one famous for his rhythmically flowing prose:
Whate'er the Meer-kat types in here must be
Five pairs of syl-lables with ac-cent on
The last—pentam-eter iamb-ic, see?
McBehrer decided to skip his turn to build up a hand again, while Silverleaf called forth an ally of her own: Some sort of feline creature that can almost get anything right. It explained to her the intricacies of childbirth.

And that marks the end of Round 5! Round 6 might be delayed as I will be getting my computer repaired. My best guess is about a week from now, sooo um... let's say Saturday? I might be able to run this game from a borrowed computer if I transfer the files keeping track of the board states and everything, but I certainly won't be able to run it as frequently.
I'm curious, how's everybody enjoyed the game so far?
Well I'm enjoying myself :D
Is that colon dee or smiley face?
Well I'm enjoying myself *colon dee*
