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

I think I'd rather see what MMF thinks, as he's always counted them up. Maybe he could announce it as a tidy conclusion.

I hope we didn't decide to ditch the voting; mind you - I've only just realised that it is Thursday

I didn't suggest we ditch it, I was only wondering if I had missed something because I was the only one who voted last week.

Sorry B'El - I've totally lost the plot recently - my fault entirely - must get a grip and find the right week to vote for tonight/tomorrow.

You are not alone, scorp.

Oh Goody

I would be voting, but have been busy having a baby (well, my wife has anyway - a 7lb girl born on Wednesday BTW) . Normal service will resume shortly...



Ugi

Great news! Many congratulations to you all.

I remember my first week as a father - I spent half of it going back and forth to Boots.

Congratulations, Ugi!

Woo-hoo! A baby telegrammer.
Can she type yet?
Well done - conrgrats to everyone.

Brief visit...

Laundry currently calls as a priority, then I need to consider eating before I pass out!

(or not! Don't really feel hungry, just lightheaded !!! )

Anyway, back to the 'vote - no vote' question, and yes, I have followed the discussion but I've not been able to as often recently, and it won't change.

It is entirely up to yourselves. I just retrieved the game from Neri who had taken a major backseat and, with B'Elana posting the Telegram word, and myself scoring and tallying the votes to maintain the interest, it has kept going.

Once again it is flagging but previously, as Hootooers have left, new Hootooers have joined...

If you want to run two together to feel what the groundswell of opinion is, go for it...

I just don't want to see another pillar of Hootoo through the usual apathy! After all, it is not as though it uses up much of a researcher's time!!!

(Even if I did fail to vote this week! )



MMF

So did I MMF - I blame toothache, what's your excuse?

I can only log-in in the evening now, so I have to select my moments carefully.

I didn't know you typed with your teeth!

MMF

Oh very droll!!

still love you to bits

With toothache in mind shouldn't that be "very drool"?

Could I just suggest that in the few weeks I've been able to re-introduce my poor-excuses for telegrams that the game seems to be flourishing.

Already today, some of the early suggestions for BIRTHDAY will be very hard to split and mark in order of 1, 2, 3.

I'll need to get my thinking cap on.

Note to MMF or B'El - Can you point me in the direction of the score-card, please - I always seem to lose it!

DDD

At the present moment there is no score card,

There was an enquiry as to whether it was necessary... and no result was reached, (that I am aware of!)

I am happy to re-instate it, but as I believe in Democracy, I need to feel that that is the preferred choice!!!

Push it, DDD as I find it a major drive!!!

MMF

MMF, I've always liked a score-card - even if Icy was always at the top!

Apologies for not being around for a while and not knowing what was happening with the Telegram Game, but I think the scores are essential. What's the point of a game if there is no winner? (OK, that's my thoughts, but them I'm competitive). My 13-year-old nieces were here last week for a short break and we played a game of SCRABBLE. (Ooh. look, I'm almost topical )

They lost, with 45 and 50 respectively. I won, with 290. Call me sad and unfair to younger siblings, but I like scores!

Hey! I'm with you on that side of things... but leaving Politics out of it, I do believe in democracy

So I have to leave it to the majority...

It is not my game,,, I just inherited it from Neri!!!

It is down to you gamers to decide where it goes...

I am loath to give you any direction!!!

I am not DNA!!! (I wish! )

*Well, I am, as well as RNA, but not in the sense!!*
