In that case, my best strategy is never to make another claim. Just wait until 08:20:00 on the 11th and I'll have won! (Unless another player joins in.)

That is unfair! I could have done that in my two player game against TG, this should not be allowed. Perhaps there is a rule against it: the same player can claim again if 18 hours of playing time have elapsed. Bad Sportsmanship GB!

All right, I'll accept that extra rule since otherwise there'll be no game. I'll go and amend the rules.

I'm still going to wait a while though!

Rule (3) now says (changes in bold):
No player may make two successive claims for points without another valid claim between them, unless at least 18 hours of playing time have passed between the two claims. Consecutive posts by the same player are allowed as long as they are not both claims.
Is that OK?

Right, so if I don't make another claim now, the earliest you can claim is 08:45:13 tomorrow. I'll be watching...
