I too would not participate in an evening game as my family come in for dinner etc.

However, looking at times that people post between 7 and midnight seems lively.

As regards to a drive, i was wondering if we just go onto other threads that r open at the same time and explain the game in brief and asking people if they would like to join in - emphasis on fun, rather than on stress of 'getting a perfect clue'

Honestly it's just started snowing again here Ugh

Hello, I have looked at "Clue Chain" since I joined this great forum, but the time difference has been an issue, ( as well as the obvious skills shown) Is there a way that the time frame can be extended so others can be enticed to join in? I for one would like to be involved and I have managed to identify a few others from "this side of the world" that may be enticed to participate.
Who knows?.....keep up the effort.
Best regards.

Excellent busby, i do not know where u r in the world or what time difference there is. this is why i wondered if an evening/night ie yr day would help. does the time difference impact greatly to you popping in to Monday afternoons CC?

Good Morning

I am a perfect example of not having the expertise for the perfect clue - re dark chocolate on Monday - but it is the only way to improve and to realise you are not in a competition but there to have fun. You learn from other entries and I have never received any negative comments on the forum - though privately they may be many sighs. x

Hi Bobs Mum, I'm an Aussie, that means I'm eleven hours in front of English time (and fifteen years behind). So when I vote on "Peer review" I get up at 4.30 am. There are at least 2 other "Aussies" and 1 Kiwi that I am aware of that are involved with this forum. "Kiwikid" has joined "Peer Review" this time and will hopefully continue. This a great forum. The competitions that are run have greatly improved my limited "cryptic" skills and I hope to be able to entice others to join in.

Morning emrach,
i thought dark chocolate was a good clue and it had the groan factor when the penny dropped --- have u any suggestions to start getting others involved ??

Hi busby, shouldn't u be in bed by now???? Time differences have always made me go a bit boggled eyed trying to work them out --- try and pop in if u have a bout of insomnia on Mondays and maybe u could start a similar game for the aussis

Its only 9.30pm and "I'm a big boy mum" Would love to expand on the games that this forum offer and will try to.

Perpetual Clue Chain is still there with its simpler rules and no time restrictions if anybody wants to post a clue. If there's no response the intro suggests you post the answer and log off.

Hi Bobs Mum it was ChrisE who encouraged me to give it a go. I will give it some thought. As for Busby having to get up at 4.30 am to vote thats dedication. So - and apologies in advance to admin - I was wondering if there could be a drop box or what ever it is called where people could leave their votes which could be accessed or even just to leave a post and to trust the rest of us not look ! Maybe I am just complicating things x

Thanks for your suggestion Emrach but if I did that I may cast a vote before all the entries are in and that would not be fair to all. If I want to join in then I need to make allowances. If time frames were extended then it may make these competitions more appealing to others living elsewhere. Best rgds.
