    Congratulations G&R, this game really is a marathon, not a sprint, so anyone who comes out on top thoroughly deserves to do so

    Thanks for the game EN, a serious amount of effort needed to run this game, which was - for the most part - thoroughly enjoyable :D

    I'm very happy to finish in the anonymous mid-table after my 200m tree debacle

    Top 5 finish. I’m delighted with that!

    Happy Christmas everyone and thanks for a great game EN only 11 months to go to the sign in thread for next years game.

    Congrats to everyone on a great game. Happy to be top 5 in such a close fought run. Thanks EN. this makes my Christmas.

    First time since I had my own household that my parents can't join us for the celebrations so time to make some new traditions.

    Happy Christmas everyone

    Congrats GnR, a great win and to Deco with the spoon.

    Thanks a great game EN as always, looking forward to next years.

    In the fashion of those ridiculous statements spouted by soccer people (it's a game of two halves OR I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the League OR if they hadn't scored, we would have won): if it had not been for those negative scores that I got, I actually would have finished quite well. :D

    Mayo may not have won the All-Ireland in 2020 but their representative did win The Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar 2020! :D This is arguably a more prestigious trophy. :)

    That was fun! Thanks EN for running it, you have great dedication to be there doing the sums every single day!

    Next year I will try and remember to start at the beginning :D


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,554 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    Top 10 finish- you've made my Christmas!! :D

    Would have been 7th place if I hadn't missed the first day, will still be lamenting that on my death bed. :p

    Thank you for a great game, EN! Happy Christmas to you and yours. :)

    Top 20 finish, not too shabby. And I only made one embarrassingly terrible guess (that I can recall), so that's surpassed the very low expectations I had at outset.

    Many thanks EN for running; can't wait to see what you come up with next year! :pac:

    Congrats G&R for another great Forum Games win, and to Declan for a well-earned spoon.

    Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night....


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Great job G & R. Enjoy the spoon Decco.
    Thanks for the game Nitty, you truly are the king of the Mathletes :cool:
    Next tear I think I'll be washing my hair polishing my dome, for three weeks.
    Thanks for the craic everyone, hope you all have a great Christmas :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭tscul32


    Great fun. On day 3 I was in last place but managed to work my way up to the top half of the board.
    Thanks EN for all the fun. Can't wait for the 2021 version.
    Happy Christmas all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I was going for wooden spoon


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Congrats G&R, and EN for a great game.
    Lost it in the middle somewhere & superslipped downwards!

    I'll make up for it next year :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,951 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Thanks EN, already looking forward to next year! Great game, very engaging

    Thanks to EN for a great comp, I’ll be back next year

    Before that I’m going to run a January last person standing quiz, sign ups below

    Well done GnR. Thanks so much EN!! You're the best. That was great fun!! Mid table was a respectable finish for me and sure I made it onto Teds lap (however brief) and that's all I cared about anyway.

    And of course, most importantly of all, I'm fairly sure I topped the alternative board.. a.k.a the real board!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,215 ✭✭✭khalessi


    Congrats GnR forgot to say that earlier and thanks everyone for a great game!!! Happy Christmas!!!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers Posts: 47,298 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Another great game this Christmas, thanks EN for organising it. And congrats to G&R, very well played.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,594 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    I'm not gonna complain about a #37 finish. Sur its where I spent most of the game.

    Brilliant work by all, especially GnR and EN. Some amount of work put in by EN. Great host. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

    Hope Santa is goos to everyone this year. :)

    I think heidiheidi got to the finish line a split second ahead of you on the alt table, with you coming in 2nd.


    Well done GnR on the win.


    Thanks for fun festive game EN, really enjoyed it.


    Have fun digging in the snow with your spoon Declan.

    Correct, the alternative table was just a play on the game, the median was the leader and scores closest to that worked down the leader board

    Top 5(6) here: (score away from median)
    1. HeidiHeidi
    2. Ecto (0.5)
    3. Buile (0.9)
    4. Tscul32 (1.4)
    5. Collie & Irish Aris (3.0)

    Congrats G&R, thats some average score.. very consistent and deserved winner..

    Cheers EN for the game. Was fun to play

    Once again another great game. Thanks EN.

    Well done G&R.

    Enjoy tomorrow everyone xxx

    So I did win the median prize then??? Hurray!!
    What a laugh! :D

    Great game, EN. Just the sort of distraction I love at this time of year, but especially this year!

    (I can't help wondering how I'd have done if Fkn Die Hard hadn't happened though :D I was doing SO well before that! )

    Happy Christmas y'all!
