~~~ you; and since they mention a 'black chip' -- would it be possible to call those same people to ask if there actually was a 'black chip' on the game since I read nothing about a 'black chip' by those who were there...?

This sounds serious to me if a 'black chip' was actually removed (and I'm sure to others as well)... and I'm just wondering if asking the 'black chip' question would be better to do now than waiting five more days...
