OANST is right. i think its about time i displayed the scores;

OddjobAbe: 23
BM: 1
ArtemisPanthar: 11
MA: 6
Kastere: 7
MeechMunchie: 5
Laser: 4
Mojo: 2
Wings of Fire: 8
Nate: 4
OANST: 8
shaman: 5
drag0nbane442: 1
Fuzzle King: 1
joshkrz: 2

once again, OddjobAbe is riding out far ahead, with ArtemisPanthar in pursuit. OANST and WoF are close in third place.
