Re: Grumbleweed VII
I have no idea! (The edit above is because I put "60 minutes" instead of "10 minutes" in rule 8.)

Re: Grumbleweed VII
Just realized I haven't technically won this game yet! Please can someone else make a claim, and then I'll claim the necessary 16 points.

Re: Grumbleweed VII
Final scores:
GuyBarry 300
Tube Geek 237
A Challenge 187
Thanks to both of you for a fascinating (if rather exhausting) contest! We've now won two games each, so I think that's a fair result.
I'll start the new Nimbleweed thread once I've had AC's agreement to the rules. TG - do you still want to wait a couple of days or can I go on ahead?

Re: Grumbleweed VII
Wait, definitely! Partly so we have a well earned break, partly so we can work out tactics!

OK, I'll make it 7 days, and start on Monday morning. Can't give you the exact time but it'll be between 06:00 and 08:00.A Challenge wrote:A suggestion from yours humbleness, 7 days (a week) not 10 days?

Grumbleweed VIII (?)
Tube Geek has proposed restarting Grumbleweed. Since it's a while since we played it, I'll remind people of the main differences from Nimbleweed:
If everyone agrees to this then I'll start the new game tomorrow.
- 1 point represents 1 minute from the start of the claim
- Seconds are ignored, so 11:59:59 to 12:00:00 counts as 1 minute
- The maximum claim is 60 points
- Unsuccessful claims lose points for the player making the claim
- The winner is either the first to 300 points, the first to gain a 100-point lead, or the leader after 7 days
If everyone agrees to this then I'll start the new game tomorrow.

Sure!GuyBarry wrote:Tube Geek has proposed restarting Grumbleweed. Since it's a while since we played it, I'll remind people of the main differences from Nimbleweed:
In addition I'd like to introduce a minimum claim of 2 points. This is to stop players from getting an almost guaranteed success by claiming 1 point just before the end of the minute (as I did repeatedly in the last game).
- 1 point represents 1 minute from the start of the claim
- Seconds are ignored, so 11:59:59 to 12:00:00 counts as 1 minute
- The maximum claim is 60 points
- Unsuccessful claims lose points for the player making the claim
