This game is getting depressing. We need some positives to outweigh all the negatives. The trouble with some elimination games is that the zero-sum action of +1/-1 can drag on forever. That's why Allohak opted for the +1/-2 format, with the option to use more or less votes than the maximum. The beauty of that flexibility is that each of us can approach the game in a way that pleases us as individuals. You choose to do a +1/-1. Most are opting for the full allotment of +1/-2. I am hopeful that the lists will come out soon giving us something to talk about, making the elimination game a sideshow rather than the main attraction on the forums so I am moving the game along by using +0/-2. I just meant that the entire tone of the game had taken on a negative slant which is unfortunate. I kinda feel like we need something positive and uplifting to go along with the negativity. That’s all.

I gotta throw in real quick that while some of the parent chants can be a little much, I do love the Round Rock parent cheer! GO ROCK! GO BAND! GO ROCK BAND! Anytime I hear it in the crowd, I chant along with it! 😁 I remember the two RR band dad's that started that chant back in 2008. I thought how cool that sounded and here we are 13 years later. I don't know if they realized how this chant took off. There is an old 2008 RR uil video out there where you can hear one of them yelling it.
