First, I want to apologize to everyone who was playing my congrats game. I moved into the dorm last week, and the internet connection at my school is really slow. It seems to have trouble with BtN in particular, for whatever reason, so it's really hard for me to post regularly here and keep a game going. Sorry everyone.
Here's a quick (okay, maybe not so quick) 20 questions CAF to make up for it. Since I'm going back to school tomorrow afternoon, I might not be able to check up on this, so it won't be judged. It's just for fun.
