I'm now back and everything has been resolved amicably. Sorry for abandoning that last game - I think AC was on course for victory anyway.
I'm happy for AC to start another game but I wish TG would stop throwing points away. It doesn't feel like a genuine competition when one of your opponents is intent on scoring as many own goals as possible.

It would be nice to see TG try - he may win that way! New game (XII) will be started tomorrow morning between 07:00 and 08:15, unless I get an objection. On the subject of returning, I really should go back onto the RailUK forum, as I haven't been on due to homework and the fact that if I access it from school it eats my mobile data!

I have an objection!...
I was planning on taking a bit of a break as well (apart from Tubleweed, duh), so of course can't exactly play.... Should be back in a couple of weeks though

Do we wait a couple of weeks' and start just before Christmas, or do we do just wait to the new year.
I came up with the idea of doing a Grumbleweed ( or Nimbleweed) Christmas special, and have it be a special two-week version, covering Christmas and the new year. I sillier idea I came up with was that whatever game we are playing, whether it be a Christmas special or not, we don't have downtime on the 31st December/1st January to celebrate the new year?

You know what - i won't take the break until January, so we can play your special version with no downtime...

There is only one there, in
two weeks, unless we remove them all, unless we decide to remove all of them.

I'll probably be away for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and also for the night of New Year's Eve.

Are we going to do this, and when will the the next game be?

I wouldn't be able to compete properly in a game played over Christmas/New Year, so I'd rather have the next game before then. But if TG wants a break then I'm happy to wait.
