 Good thing! This is a family forum you know! I wish I could play, you know this is my favorite. I just can't do once an hour and it will take me a while to get my notes up to snuff when I get home tonight. |

*************************************************************
End Game Strategy Change :
It was stated that the "Cycle will repeat until BOTH games have been won".
After one of the games is completed, this would require for one player to post a guess against an inactive game, whereby they are essentially tossing their guess away. In an effort to maintain fairness the game will drop to a two game cycle rotation.
Upon a winning guess to either of the games, that game will be dropped from the rotation.
*************************************************************
I am thinking maybe next weeks game will be 3 concurrent games

and I see 'currencies' listed here that I certainly don't recognize as real. i.e TMT, ZWL and XXX (not sure I want to know where that one is spent)
I was using a list of 3 letter currency codes (of which TMT, ZWL and XXX are included). Now that I reread the rules I realize that I should be using 3 letter currency symbols (not XXX which is the code for no currency  ). Now I have to decide if I want to go back and figure out which codes were used in previous games.  |

Any non-currency three letter symbol will simply be ignored by the answer checking software I have created, resulting in a 0 for that single entry. It does not change the tallied outcome of the entire guess. Any guess that has less than (or more than) 7 three letter symbols will not be responded to. |

Ok, I have a few minutes so I'll throw out a thought or two about the symbol list.
I do not care what you use, XXX, YYY, or ZZZ. As long as they are 3 letter long and there are seven of them. I type them in, push a button, and it gives me your answer.
You cannot win with a guess that has a fictional symbol, this much is a given.
You may throw off other players who are not sure about the symbols you have used.
You may use them to help check just a few currencies at a time.
All of these are part of the game strategy that each player will have to decide on. It is not my concern. I only care about 7x3, and posting the responses.
Good luck to all.

Of course, be sure to not make a typo because I will not catch it. It is your responsibility to ensure the symbols you use are correct to what you need.

What about weavus135's missed guess? Do we count it as a guess for a game or skip it?

That is completely my bad. I was out at my weekly coin meeting and didn't see it when I got in. Here is what I hope will work.
If weavus can edit that post to remove the guess, and then repost it now, I will not penalize him for time. It will be responded to ask the NEXT guess in rotation.
