I think it would be fun if we had some random comic icons where after you click on them you lose -25, -50, -100 points! It would make it more challenging & aggravating. I like the idea, but I'm not sure if such a thing is possible. I wouldn't make the "losing" books random, though. Have them be something like Darkhawk #1, Woodgod, or something that you'd have to avoid clicking on. I'm not playing cause I'm petulant I thought you told me you were Episcopalian? Don't be absurd,I'm an absurdist.Also,only nine provinces?Bah,there's ten in Canadaland!

What's your internet speed? Through the wifi I'm cruising at about 67 Mbps right now. It's averaging at around 7.0 Mbps. You can see why I refer to the UK as a second world country!
In fairness, my area is very slow due to the archaic telephone exchange which was piggybacked with fibreoptic. My understanding is I still have copper wire between the junction box and my house.

That's pretty common here too. I have coaxial in the house out to the street.

I like this game, so it's here to stay as a permanent feature of the forum. But, I've seen this happen several times now. When someone pulls out in front, everyone stops competing (I do the same thing). So, unless we can figure out some sort of tournament play (and I have no experience in that area), I think we have three options: 1) Keep the point target so low that someone could win in a few hours of play. This would mean lots and lots of games, and I'm not sure I want to be in charge of the administration associated with it.
2) Use a date target that's months away: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.
3) Don't have a target or a winner at all, just do what we were doing originally.Thoughts?
