Yet again, we've reached an impasse. In fact, every time we get to this point, there's an impasse, with people staying on this thread for 10 minutes then going somewhere else. We can have really fast interplay and then, when the third-from-last stop is played, someone goes and looks at something else, or dwells on this thread without posting. There are only two or three people who will routinely concede, and one poster has even said that adjudicators don't have to concede to me in the past (!), something I wasn't aware of when I was one. Whenever I play the 3rd-from-last stop, I still rarely ever win.

When I back-tracked on postings to see what had occurred whilst I was offline earlier, on the route up from Shrewsbury to Wrexham, fishquinn only took three minutes to follow on from the previous posting, but did not go for the winning posting in the usual Wrexham area that was available to him, but chose instead to carry the journey onwards, despite the fact that at that time there must have been a very large number of points to garner from a win there, to add to the 1,565 points he already has. A most remarkable piece of thoughtfulness by such a young contestant.

When I first started on this quiz, everybody was willing to concede often as it'd usually come back to benefit them, however since then, it appears that the amount of people willing to concede has dropped significantly. This is meant to be a game, not a competition, enjoy it!

Yeah, I'd noticed that too, which is why I had my rant.
