I'm aware of that, ruby. That doesn't mean it makes the game any more fun ...

Possible extra rule just for his majesty. "The forum game king is to do an update again if the appropriate number of guesses are made within ten minutes of his last royal update. This is to the maximun of three updates inclusive." So only a 23 minute commitment.

Must not rush brillance, and His Royalness is mostly brillant, he has won more than all ever.

[Nikolai]

Oh, he's just afraid of loosing the title to someone fresh and younger.

I get the idea Joncha is older than DrSpike...

[Paddy]

Maybe we need Joncha the elder to smack the Royal Kings butt then

Doesn't matter that the guesses came so fast after the update, I was out of the door.

The whinging about updates is stupid. I appreciate most people in this thread have a great deal of time in the week, but I do not. I spend at most 4 hours awake in my flat on weeknights, and that is if I don't work late, and don't go out after work. Both happen a fair bit.

I check when I get in. If guesses come fast when I'm still online, I'll update again. Sometimes I check before bed, and again updates happen. A small amount of times I check in the morning (like today) and if I can update I do.

All the whinging does is annoy and make me want to forgo updating to the last possible second. This has also happened in the past, and judging from posts over the last few days will happen again.

If you want to change the game so that people with busy lives cannot participate then feel free to try. Anyone can propose a rule, and vote on it. Propose a 12 hour rule or whatever you want and it seems like many would support it. Better being up front about it (and the exclusion it would cause for some) than sniping.

You really are a royal. Whinging is it? What do you call it when on your high chair spitting at someone for stealling food from your bowl? oh he used a silly word mummy./// Have a laugh will ya, is a game called hang man, and you are the winner. If we going to have a shot at anyone, you are the one who should suck it up with the most grace, you are the slowest in all of Apolyton afterall

[DrSpike]

Yes it's whinging.

And since you are new, if you read back a few threads you'll understand. I can take a joke at my slow play......not got a problem with that. Every single goddamn day when I have already patiently explained the reason, then it begins to grate.

[Nikolai]

Spike, I am understanding your point, and I have little problem with you using some time, but 1) you are taking this rant a little far now, calm down! And 2) lately I have had the impression that you seldom update here, but still are "everywhere" else on the site. It is not weird that we complain when it seems like you have plenty of time to be other places, no? And after all, this game's voluntary.
