@mrv86 @Olympian1010 You'll be allowed in soon again, as well as others who have played before. I'll compile runs in "seasons" which allows for every player to play once per season. There has been a big gap after the first seven games, so I'll just declare Season 1 as over. Season 2 will be open for everybody interested again. Either starting this weekend or if I don't have the time, then next week.

I was hoping for more than 7 runs before having the first return but I'll consider you an Olympian again in March.

This weekend is open too if anyone who has not played yet wants a game.

To be honest, for now I'd prefer as many first runs as possible before having a return, so we'll have to wait for that a bit.

Does anyone like a game tomorrow?

@Wumo Now it's all on you. Risk or leave the game. You lose 93,000 points if you get it wrong, 250,000 if the advice you've been given was good.

Sorry, you are a couple of minutes too late as he switched. You would have been needed for Mississippi.

Okay, go ahead.
