I think I share Boro's feeling...

It was fun to play, but for me clearly, the most fun rounds were those when people actually made different suggestions as to why pick this or that tater and others argued against them giving their own.

Also, I know I was one of the loudest advocats to suggest we should tighten the pace of the game from the original 24 hours picking your choice + 24 hours debate / judge working into the adopted two rounds going on at the same time -game. It would be interesting to hear from others who played, did they feel the pace was too quick aka. would they have posted more if it had been played in a more leasurely pace?

But like Boro said, as this is not a ww-game not participating in the discussion on one day or another isn't such a crucial matter. Although I think it would be merrier if more paople voiced their minds - or tried to persuade the judge more - as that would generate more discussion and thus fun.

That said, I'm naturally game for another round.

Congrats Sally! I knew I made a decent pick there in the end...

And congrats also to Gwath who seemed to have compensated his second place in the Arda Cup phantasy tournament by winning this one...

And thanks to the phantom for a very consistent posting - and everyone for a nice game!

And last but not least: thanks Boro for coming up and organising this!
