Another painful choice. Per Jensen did a stellar job of imitating the Va/Per Three Nuns when the blend was first released. Mac Baren has since turned it into a pleasant inoffensive balless blob, if what I just smoked is any indication.

Not too much to say here... The last day of this game has been much like the much-anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. Namely, underwhelming. Nobody gets knocked out and nobody's thrilled about it. And the masses refuse to believe that Jake Paul (in the form of 1792 Flake) deserves to remains standing when it was all said and done.

Santa has taken a further lead in our reindeer game and, beyond that, the house of Cornell & Diehl is well on its way to being as over-powered as Superman or Wolverine. Lest this game become too one-sided, a temp-amendment is to follow...

Temporary Rule Change:

Time for another shake-up. This game is meant to encourage chaos and instead we've gotten an overdose of law and order. Part of the problem here is that - due to the number of blends nominated and the number of +2's cast during a previous addendum - we've got entirely too many hit points floating around out there. So, to cull the herd a little, we're gonna do a one-time change.

On your next vote and your next vote only, you still get the usual one up-vote, but you get two down-votes. These can be used on a single blend as a minus-two, or you can downvote a single point on two separate blends. The choice is yours.
