Current scores: GB 1169, AC 808, TG 60.
My lead is now 361, and the maximum claim is 360. AC can only make one more claim before the end of the game, unless another player makes a valid claim. I do not intend to make any further claims. Therefore the only thing that can save AC is the entrance of another player.
Would you like to concede, AC?

By claim do you mean spoiler? If so, I might give him some points...

No, I meant exactly what I said. The maximum claim that AC can now make is 360 points. Even if that claim is successful, then under rule (3) he can't claim again unless another player makes a valid claim.
I suppose if someone else makes a claim and AC successfully steals the points, then he may be able to make a claim of his own that takes him past my score. I hadn't considered that possibility.

Ok, I was just wondering if I could help him and make it a 1-point gap!

If you make a claim of 360 points now and AC spoils it, then he'll only be one point behind, but I'll be back in the game.
EDIT: Also if you make a claim of 360 points now I'm quite likely to spoil it myself, putting me 721 points ahead and virtually undefeatable!

Spoiler. Do you wish to concede now, AC?

Seng as he's gone, no!

You can't answer on his behalf! He can't possibly win now. He's 721 points behind and the most he can claim before 08:20:00 tomorrow is 360. Or were you planning to make another claim for him to spoil? You'll have to wait for him to claim first, and I'll probably jump on that one as well.
How many points til you reach the target?
I need 89 points for an 810-point lead, but I'm not planning to make any more claims. I can't see any way that I can possibly lose this game.

OK, I win!
EDIT: Oops, I don't! TG's claim was invalid, which means that the scores are:
GB 1530, AC 808, TG 60.
My lead is now 722. AC: do you wish to concede?
EDIT [2]: Can I also point out that the last time AC went ahead was at 11:33:09 on Tuesday 6/9/16, and that since then he hasn't scored a single point!
