Folks in the top group have got to get a move on or else the two people who get tossed in the Pit will have precious little time. Also, how’s Brakara v. Justin going? And dannimal v. ColonelT?

We’re in Game 3 of 3. 43 points remaining.

This is another reason that I think this format, while innovative, does not work well. Circles are slow, and prone to critical path slowdowns when one player doesn’t have much time to take turns regularly.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T08:21:37.000Z

Yup. Keeping my eye on that!

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T08:41:05.000Z

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect someone to have finished 6 games at this point, however. That’s 2 games a WEEK.

JF over Brakara thanks to a late game Mechana infusion.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T09:38:09.000Z

Me vs Justin in ESCAPE FROM THE PIT III! I will make challenge.

It’s the UNREASONABLE cases that are a problem. When we’re all in one big blob, or two big blobs, it’s not a big deal if you have one player who only plays a couple of games in the entire month. In a circle, though, it affects the entire group.

Circles are slow. Slow enough that I almost wish I had fallen into the pit by now, since then I’d be playing a ton of games. Almost.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T12:45:40.000Z

Oh, I agree. This format is only going to work if everyone who is playing actually plays at a reasonable speed!

Tyjenks over ddtibbs in the Pit

Annie, in case you were wondering… yes, this does mean you, hahaha. ;)

I think she has a richer cultural life than most of us. :)

Sadly, yes. But I didn’t say it. You said it, not me. I’m not to blame! It’s your fault!

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T17:22:26.000Z

I know for a fact that a certain someone else in that group still hadn’t challenged his opponent as of today…!

Well, since I challenged Sinnick 3 days ago, and you said “someone else” and used the male pronoun, that doesn’t leave many candidates.

For the record, my game against Sinnick has 46 honor points left, and my game against Annie has 60. So, neither one is finishing anytime soon unless someone does a real time game.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T17:44:36.000Z

That’s right it don’t!

JustinFletcher · 2014-02-22T19:07:35.000Z

Speaking of our pals Gus, Annie, and sinnick, what are those faint numbers to the right of their names in the last chart? Clues for an ARG? The DaVinci Code?

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-22T19:15:26.000Z

Ha! I wonder if anyone can figure it out.
