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

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.

That's what I meant!

1 point

Thanks!

16 points

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?

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

A suggestion from yours humbleness, 7 days (a week) not 10 days?

Start Monday (or Tuesday) morning at 07:00 is my vote.

Monday at 07:00:00 for me!

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.

Thread here in preparation.

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:

• 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

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).

If everyone agrees to this then I'll start the new game tomorrow.

Sure!

Thanks. I'll wait to hear from AC before starting.

Sorry - I was away for the weekend! Yes, though I won't be on too much.
