We need BANKRUPTCY icons where you lose all of your points! That would be cool, but that feature doesn't exist.

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? Hard to say- My schedule doesn't allow a very consistent participation.

I'm just pointing out how everyone (including me) gives up after there's a significant leader. I've probably seen this 5 time now, going all the way back to when UncleBen won one of the first ones.

I'll update the Past Winners and Leaderboards page showing Jimmers winning Game #2. I'll then reset the plugin and zero everything out.

Maybe I missed the post, but I like the changes. It appears each book is 1 point, and no leaderboard to motivate, deter, frustrate, or amuse each other.

Just wanted to say I sometimes spend a nit of time online. Thanks for the congrats guys.

I've been posting that for so long I thought it came from one of the cook books here at home I went on a small kick of picking up obscure Canadiana recipe books for a while.Who knows,I might actually have it.
