Unless two people concede (all but one), then you can carry on playing...

We can't carry on playing for long, because the rules state that three players have to make valid claims within a 24-hour period. Unless a third player joins in before 20:31:55 tonight (the time of TG's last claim) then the game will be declared void.

I have to say, that in these circumstances, of a player pulling out, that rule doesn't work, ad it was supposed to stop stalemates not mean that one player can void the game when they are hopelessly behind!

I agree, but there doesn't seem to be any way round this situation. At the moment you're 271 ahead. If TG pulls out, my only chance of winning is to make a successful claim of 272 points or more - otherwise you can just sit on your lead until the end of the game. This is what happened previously (in reverse).

TG is being a little unsportsmanlike, I think.

But what the hell...

272 points

The only problem is it will void at that time, meaning nobody wins!

I was about to concede before you posted that claim!

Oh, I'll concede anyway - you're still 483 ahead. Congratulations on winning another unsatisfactory game.

I wish we could work out some way of resolving this problem

Back to Grumbleweed once more???

These rules do need some fine tuning, and there isn't an obvious answer that always will work! Anyway, thank you for conceding. Is there a chance of a final scores?

If you didn't keep pulling out of games this problem wouldn't arise! I suggested at the end of game XIII that you might want to review your strategy, but you ignored my comments. You keep making 360-point claims that are unlikely to succeed. Try making a larger number of smaller claims, or claiming 360 points at a time that's going to surprise your opponents.

AC 1113, GB 630, TG 0. Not that it means very much
