Tumbleweed Game 12 - CURRENT ACTIVE GAME

Post by tubeguru »

As the previous Tumbleweed game had been running for over ten-and-a-half years, I thought it a good idea to end it, archive it, and start again.

So, as of the timestamp of this post, game 12 is GO!

Have you read the rules regarding claiming bells? :lol:

The regular bell is at The Repair Shop. I’m having to borrow three from my old Grandfather’s clock…

You're not doing very well here, are you?

To claim points, a post must be made to the game thread in this format:

For weed claims: "x point weed", "x weed", "x weeds", "x points";
For bell claims: "x bells". Bells may also be claimed by typing "Clang" once for each bell claimed (so three bells would be claimed by typing "Clang, clang, clang").


Although now I've spotted a loophole in the rules that needs closing.

Just for the sake of clarity, the scores in this game so far are:

1 - greatkingrat - 5 points
2 - RobbieM - minus 250 points (for an invalid bell claim of 225 points, and an invalid weed claim of 25 points)
