As I said, I'll let Tube Geek decide - he might let you off. But that last claim was definitely invalid - you can't make two claims in a row!

Yep - -65 for you AC!

(Can I just remind everyone: the rules now specify that claims must be on a separate line.)

Whoops! At least I know what is what. Plus, I've edited it now anyway!

There seems to have been rather a lot of editing going on recently! I thought I'd tidied the rules up at the beginning of this game. Just to clarify:

- all claims must be on a separate line from any other material in the post
- editing of claims is forbidden (forfeit 60 points plus the amount displayed in the claim)
- editing of lines that don't contain claims is permitted

Tube Geek's claim of 1 point at 19:14 is thus invalid, since he originally put it on the same line as his comment. He then edited the post to put the claim on a separate line. As he didn't actually edit the claim he doesn't forfeit any points, but he doesn't score any either.

I don't know why AC edited his post at 21:20. If it was to change "65 points" to "5 points" then the original claim was invalid (since the maximum is 60), so he doesn't forfeit any points, but he's inserted a valid claim into a post that didn't originally contain one. The rules don't actually cover this, so I think the best thing to do is to treat it as an invalid claim with no points won or lost.

Assuming everyone agrees to all the above I calculate the current scores as GB 96, TG 79, AC 35. Agreed?

Agreed. I was just about to post them, actually!

I posted as a joke, originally, a stuckthrough 65 as a joke due to the fact that I had just lost 65 points, and a 5 Point claim, in bold so it was obvious which it was! I can't remember what the change was though it was something like I had posted admired not admitted!

OK then, in which case it's a valid claim and you lose 5 points! GB 96, TG 79, AC 30.

I might as well play fair, and except -5.
