Well, the expected backlash hasn't occurred, so this is going to go ahead at some point in the near future. I'll delete all the old game threads too, so no one can add up the old scores. :)

Some games are so silly that even I don't take part in them.

That's the same reason that I don't post anything in the Tumbleweed threads.

Ah, welcome back! I suppose we could subvert the whole Tumbleweed concept from now on, although I'm not sure whether that's possible given the surreal nature of the game in the first place.

I was hoping that a reset of the scores might encourage more people to play ...

Well I suppose I could have a go, but it just seems too unstructured. Why not specify a time limit on each game in advance?

I like tumbleweed and I've worked hard to get my score (whatever it is) including many late nights in the early days. I still play this game :p

This is what I still don't understand about the game. Why didn't you declare "74 bells" (three days and two hours) on your last post?

Does anyone who takes part in this game actually care about their score? There have been no scores since August, and yet it seems that people are happy to go on playing it.
