Yes- we are in the middle of a leg. Unfortunately, some people (pointed glance at the slackers) haven't been solving clues like they should.

My friend who invented the virtual game recently joined. He asked me to put a good word in for him as the next moderator. His username is Jastrub and I just want the winner of this to consider him.

Yeah... we may as well permanently postpone TAR, until some type of break when people actually have time to work on clues.

I have a suggestion for the next game for the sake of people who don't necessarily have hours at a time to sit down and solve the clues (and yes it does take me that long to solve a round) - why not just have an amount of time to solve the clues, like a few days. That way people who don't make it get cut...and then theres no need for all this hate.

Seriously, when you do Sci Oly (along with math team, which im actually REALLY good at, so i practice a lot), Tennis, and self study 2 APs on top of a homework heavy course load, i hardly get enough time to sleep 8 hours a day. Again, i apologize, but i think this kind of game is best done in the summer, or during any other major break...wow don't i wish i were a freshman again :|

I kind of think we can start a new game. We can get back to this one later if the competitors want. (Please don't kill me Z)

I strongly disagree. Like, completely, one hundred and ten percent disagree.
