Your punishment is you have to play the next set of turns in the waiting for the map game. Good luck! Don't get us killed.

Hey William, your thread tracking thingy stopped working, any chance you could switch it of and then on again so that we can get all competitive about thread views?

Why? I already won that one when I posted my thread as one of the first and was #winning the early count. I'm sure I have a picture of that around here somewhere...

Pfft. I'm sure I could rig up a bot to run up my numbers if we are going to be competitive about this. (oh wait what's that last item in the About Us section doing there?!)

You mean this?

About us
We're a community spreading across the traditional lines of games, and who are like-minded on several key points...
... to seek challenge and fun, not simply 'high score' or 'the most elite stuff!'
... to excel is virtue
... to look to become friends with those you play with
... to treat others with respect, whether you agree with them or not
... to steadfastly avoid cheating except when it comes to thread views because it's obviously about the thread views.

Pretty sure it's allowed.

Oh wow I forgot that thing even existed! It has been running on Heroku completely unattended for years I guess. I'll see if I can find and dust off the source code.

It turns out that a forum upgrade broke my tool, I think. I hard coded really specific logic (and regexp) around the specific format of html and it's not so easy, while gainfully employed at least, to go do that again with a new format. But soon, surely by this weekend. Harry, thanks for the chance to read my own code from 2014 again, I barely recognize that person's thinking.

Hey! How is it going with the map? And when do we start next round?
