It's fun, but I'm stopping at 666 cause it is perfect for the season. Next time I will really give it a go! Ahh, basement cat has a new follower. Or minion.

Damn, I wanted to stop at 666 in honor of the day but it shot me over. I though if I didn't accept, the candies wouldn't count but I was wrong. This game is rigged.

Zoe and Alli are the candy queens so far.

Zoe and Alli are in the lead, but I'm suspicious. How are they doing it? Certainly not by any legitimate means! I'm sure they're getting outside help. I bet they have "candy-grabbing sweatshops" set up in their basements. Think of it: long tables with laptops and dozens of small children, all logged in to their accounts, click-click-clicking for 12, 14, 16 hours a day! Tiny tots in that dank, windowless room, chained to the tables with nothing to eat but bowls of lukewarm porridge and only two bathroom breaks per day. Meanwhile Zoe and Alli sit on golden thrones, gorging themselves on Twizzlers and Snickers and M&Ms, laughing cruelly as their candy numbers climb even higher.
Oh those poor, poor kids... it breaks my heart to think about them.

Ahrn, you seem to now a lot of details on these candy kid sweatshops.
Just sayin' because you aren't doing too shabby in the candy grab yourself.

Kritter, I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that you would make such heinous allegations! Believe you me, I grabbed every piece of virtual candy all by myself, with no outside help whatsoever. I would NEVER exploit children just so I could win a silly online game.
Also, those clicking sounds coming from my basement are just- uh, termites. Yeah, termites.

No sweatshops & no outside help, I swear on a puppy's life. Every single click has been by me. I do have a couple of tricks BWAAHAAHAA, but they are completely above board & available to anyone who thinks of them. I can't even stand to have 1 child in the house, so no way there are long tables of multiple ( ) children here. No kids at all! www.dogs-wallpapers.eu/dog/paw-keyboard-dog.jpgJust kidding...everyone knows the dogs would eat the candy Zoe...Queen of Candy...kind of has a ring to it, I'll need to find a tiara smiley. I am in all seriousness somewhat confused, as I thought it ended on midnight 10/31, which was last night. I always get confused at midnights though. But I watched my clock count down on my computer. Those puppies poor paws are going to fall off if they have to keep this up another day

I knew it was PT, but wasn't midnight last night 10/31? It was on my computer's clock/calendar. Tonight midnight will be 11/1, with 11:59PM being 10/31 still. Am I losing my mind? My computer clock said 10/31 at midnight (adjusted for PT) last night at midnight, so I thought the contest already ended. So, to be sure I understand, it actually ends, not at midnight, but at 11:59PM, PT tonight? Right?

Zoe, you are getting way too involved in this game.
Its just a game and a scarf is the prize. You are not losing your mind but may have this game confused with a really high stakes winner take all game.

You are not losing your mind but may have this game confused with a really high stakes winner take all game. Ummm, no. I'm just detailed & exact. You had to be in my profession, esp since a lot of things in banking & insurance cut off at midnight, so it was important for report programming. I know it's not high stakes, I'm not even in it for the prize, I just like candy :-) And I like to win :-) I admit, I was pretty involved for that hour before midnight 10/31 though LOL. Now, if the prize was actual candy, THEN I would be *really* involved. Especially Sweet Tarts...I like them more than chocolate. I see Alli's ahead of me anyway & I have to go deal with a plumber & I have no idea how many trick or treaters we're gonna have, since it's a brand new neighborhood. So Alli & Ahrn may well beat me. But I am a night owl

I think Zoe is going to pull ahead tonight because I turn in early because this house gets up early and she stays up much later.

I wish we could secretly hoard the candy and then show the results at the end. I did that a few times with my fitbit before I lost it. I wouldn't sync it then ... bam.

I really thought I was losing my mind cuz I thought you said the winning prize was an ice cream gift cert :-) I hadn't noticed Sunset sneaking up, but I fully expected last minute pull-aheads. There's gonna be some sore wrists tomorrow!

Those sneaky little candies are really hard to see when they're hovering over kritters roller coaster kitties or on ahrn's avatar!
