Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Current scores: GB 439, AC 347, TG 0.
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.)Tube Geek wrote:No, i'm going to sit out of this one

Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
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!GuyBarry wrote:Current scores: GB 439, AC 347, TG 0.

All right, I'll accept that extra rule since otherwise there'll be no game. I'll go and amend the rules.A Challenge wrote:Perhaps there is a rule against it: the same player can claim again if 18 hours of playing time have elapsed. Bad Sportsmanship GB!
I'm still going to wait a while though!

Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Rule (3) now says (changes in bold):
Is that OK?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.

Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Right, so if I don't make another claim now, the earliest you can claim is 08:45:13 tomorrow. I'll be watching...
