h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Monseuir Desk of the Grey variety has informed me that he was unaware that the 2003 season had begun. In case anyone else is, i'm currently taking week three predictions at A862607 If you look in "Proposed rule changes" you'll see that the scoring system has been tweaked. (skip to the last page, where I mention scoring system v2.0)

The page itself hasn't been designed yet as I am a notoriously lazy git-it's coming soon, I promise.

At present, Robin is top with 12 points, and Otto second with 11.

I didn't know either, mainly because no-one told me! And missing two weeks has left me a lot of catching up to do. Did you just fancy having a new champion or something?

You can't have tried very hard to spread the word if GD and I were both unaware. And did no-one think to post us a message before now? I think we should be given some points to start with by way of compensation.

I missed week 2 but seeing as I posted in week 1 I've sort of ....

Well, I would've thought that most people with common sense would've subscribed to the page. Obviously, this rules out GD, but I managed it (still only got 4 points, though).

But I am subscribed to *this* page, and I never saw anything! I'd have thought it would have made sense to post a notice about the new season in the 'SIGN-UP SHEET' thread, since that was where all those wanting to take part had made themselves known.

Apologies, I assumed people who signed the "sign up sheet" would have subscribed \(silly assumption i know) and I'm *sure* I mentioned FA Cup 4th round day as the start somewhere.

It's not my fault I'm incompetent.

Ormondroyd- two threads to which you were subscribed which made reference to the start date of the 2003 season: post 40- http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F102767?thread=220350&skip=20&show=20 post 5- http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F93200?thread=235446

Curses, that was unfortunate. I unsubscribed from the 'Is this still happening?' thread because it looked like a simple question that had been answered. The 'Possible rule changes' thread may have mentioned the start date weeks ago, but it hadn't done so recently.

to be perfectly honest, I think my lack of effort in promoting this season is generally symptomatic of the fact that I'm not generally particularly interested anymore. i enjoy the predictions, but the running of the thing is starting to seem more like a chore, whereas previously it was just a bit of fun. Hence, http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F102767?thread=245789

If you want to hand it over, Egon, I'll be quite happy to consider it.

missed your chance
