I was just thinking:

It's the goal of the TVCH to keep up the volume of posts and if everyone is having a good time then it shouldn't matter.


I was just concerned about others who want to play and can't be here as much. I had the same problem with Spam solving all the puzzles in Game II but it's not her fault that she was the only one who could be there all day. I don't know. Sometimes it seems lopsided. Oh well.

Good points Guru. Have you got a suggestion on how to make it fairer? As long as a couple people are answering I am trying to post questions. If 10 questions are answered I keep going. Do you think we should maybe take a break in between every 10 or 20 questions?

Short of actually scheduling players I'm not sure what could be done.

Doesn't really matter to me... as it stands now I realize I probably can't win due to my schedule... but I'm enjoying playing anyway.
