It's stupid how much I'm enjoying this story! It's like a fresh breath of air, how different it is. You capture everyone's voice so well, especially Dwight's, and I'd imagine that's pretty hard to do. I hope more's on it's way ;-)
Author's Response: I'm glad that you like how different this story is. A bunch of people playing a board game is kind of a strange idea for a story, but hopefully you can see that it really isn't about the game at all. I'm a big fan of writing Dwight, and especially his interactions with Jim, so I'm glad that you liked that. Thanks for the review impish1.

Yay! You updated. I reread the whole thing to catch myself up. Love how Jim is staying true to his nature and that he and Pam are starting to smile and joke again. And that is very S4 of Pam to be spouting off strategy for Clue - I got a kick out of it. Looking foward to more!
Author's Response:
I'm happy that you like what I'm doing with the Jim and Pam dynamic. This entire story is about bringing them together over something trivial (the game itself) through the elements which help to make them remember why they were friends in the first place (humor, competition, screwing with Dwight/Andy).
As for Pam's knowledge of RISK and her S4-esque strategy, you're completely right that was purposefully a little out of character for S3 Pam. I'm (hopefully) setting up a more independent Pam, but also a dynamic later in the story where she will be the most knowledgeable about the game itself. Thanks for the review, and support for the story EverybodyHurts.

YES!!! I am SO excited that you updated this! And this chapter was great. Good for Jim I say. ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you so much Stablergirl! I'm sure I've told you before, but I'm a big fan of yours, so your support is really great. I'm glad that you liked this chapter and Jim's behavior. It wasn't my intention to make Karen a bad person or terrible or anything like that, but rather to just see her as different then Jim (ambition and office philosophy-wise). Thanks for the review!
