@yam: No one wins. This is a friendly 'let's play a game together' kind of thing, which I prefer.

Still feel free to post your scores here for fun!

Yes. Do it. Do it now.

And what happened to you, jase? I thought you might take the weekend to try for a higher score.....

This is because we have a lack of regular players. We practically had to drag the 2017 over the finish line to get a champion, at that time we had only 3 people who played regularly. So in 2018 we could either let the compo die or try something new, namely resetting the games list so that we could play some of the more popular games again which hopefully would get more people to play at least their favourite games. We also ditched the championship because it was pretty much clear from the start who the champion would be.
It's still a competition for the high scores, though.

What puzzles me is that we have so few players, yet so many people who are watching. The "games played so far" thread has more than 5k views, the "BYOAC high scores" thread has more than 7k views. So people are interested, but can't be bothered to participate. It's a bit sad.

I don't know if it's that or if they feel the pressure of competition even though it's pretty casual. In the past I've seen replies where people have said "played but didn't get a score worth posting" or things along those lines. I sometimes wonder if people feel like they shouldn't post unless they have a competitive score or else maybe more people would play and post. I'm always happy to post in last place.

Busy. Few chances to play. Usually get only 1-2 sessions per competition.
Got extra busy last weekend.

Plus, my impression of my high score was that it as very good relative to my abilities & that I couldn't top it...let alone top it by 40%!  =O


Thanks for missing me. I'm blushing.
