Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Current scores: GB 1093, AC 808, TG 60. AC can't claim again until 07:52:57 tomorrow unless another player makes a valid claim in the meantime.
It's going to be difficult, though not impossible, to win from this position!

It's 18 hours of playing time, which including the 6 hours downtime is 24 hours of actual time.Tube Geek wrote: It's 18 hours, not 24!

Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Well, you did propose the rule yourself! I agree that the current arrangements are unsatisfactory for a two-player game. Let's discuss them when this game has ended.A Challenge wrote: It should be 12 hours real tine next game.

Re: Nimbleweed Game Thread - Current Game XI
Current scores: GB 1093, AC 808, TG 60 (unchanged from yesterday).
There are now 18 hours of playing time left (24 hours of real time). Unless another player makes a valid claim, AC can only make one claim during that period. My lead is 285 and so AC needs to make a successful claim of at least 286 points to win. Unlikely but not impossible!
