    You can only make one statement per day, Allie. Besides, it has to be over 20 words long.

    Four unnecessary commas and 'retarded' is spelled incorrectly.
    30 more points for me, please.

    MILF, your statement must be more then 20 words long.

    EDIT: 30? I only count 20 for the correction of a correction? (Feel free to correct me)

    EDIT 2 : Oops, nevermind.

    I don't really think I'm eligible for points at all, so far. I just enjoy being an ass.
    OOC:No no darling, that was an out of character scribbly note. I don't think you get to correct that.

    also i never put punctiation before or after smileys because i think it breaks up the flow of the reading

    I got points for it, so it is free game. But since I'm nice, I'll leave yours alone from here on out.

    You, however...

    ##Correction: Smurf you, Momiji. Greater than, colon, left parenthesis.

    24 points for capitalization, plus 50 points for misspelled words. 74 points more if you please, Mr. Demon Dude.

    I'm tempted to post a string of gaming lingo. It would add a new level of depth and for some, an unfair advantage.

    Bonus points?

    I thought you could state as much as you like, but you'd only get points for one statement over twenty words.

    ##Statement: You know, yesterday I was talking to my online friend and we were having a discussion about whether or not a dollar was better than a nickel, and my retort was that nickels are better because they would be able to be used in a parking mateter for which a car could be parked in that place for a long while, and my friend told me that he would give me a dollar and a nickel in return to which I could only reply "why would I need a dollar AND a nickel," because that would be pointless, because I was trying to get rid of the nickle in the first place but he went on and troed to convince me that I wanted both, and this took up quite a bit of time before I finally told him "you know what I was smurfing around with you," and then we both logged off AIM, at which point i called a friend of mine, and it's a "she", by the way, so it's all good, I think; however, her cell didn't puck up even though I was thinking to my self "I'm good and rocking steady, okay and now I think I'm ready to bust a move so that we're good and ready, ohh, hoh, ohh, ohh," so I went away dejected and played some games until midnight and went to sleep, and started singing Calling All Cops as I did.

    I think we should get points for writing a statement that is really long in the first place. Just divide words by 100 and that can be the number of points given.

    We should also get points for suggesting synonyms for words; except you only get points for words that are either more esoteric in nature or lengthier. If that word changes the grammatical structure of the statement, the suggesting person needs to account for that. Points to be given at the discretion of the OP.
