Sandalwood: That's what Sandelholz means.
Do our homework: "Do our homework" has never made sense.
Why not reframe this as something like "Sportsmanship" or
"Fellow Player Appreciation"? Focusing on the judges detracts from that.
Then again,
the judge notes lead me to believe that at least one judge has a habit of
assuming ill intent behind earnest gestures of good faith,
suggesting they may need all the help they can get.
I haven't been following a lot of the activity during these Games.
I know u/Priusaurus
had prepared a whole list of things in advance, which may or may not have
been derailed by daily challenges.
I have the impression that u/tsrblke has been doing good things,
although—by my own fault, not his—I couldn't tell you what, except that he
probably established himself as a contender for that "Friend of the Games"
before it was even announced.
Also, a nod to u/batmanbrady: I wasn't sure what to expect, what with his
account being created only just before the Games.
It was cool to see him with pretty good posts, and then he unwittingly
triggered a whole thing by mentioning his brother-in-law.
#FOF
I'd tried exactly one solely-sandalwood scent before this, and I didn't care
for it. Sandelholz succeeds in being not only inoffensive,
but classically soothing.
Oud Sigma is a scent that I bought the whole trio of solely because I
was overcome with excitement by the name. As scents go, it's not bad, but its
overlap with Razorock's Tuscan Oud leads me to the conclusion that I do not
much care for oud.

I nearly forgot that I meant to break out the Jolly Rogers again before
the end of the month.
