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.

Hi guys - I was advised of CLUE CHAIN by les40 and have enjoyed it ever since (I feel guilty now that I wasn't there on Monday but had a really pressing engagement).

Just a suggestion, why not start off Monday afternoon's thread with the title of 'AFTERNOON CLUE CHAIN' and if the thread gets over 60 (or so) posts, rename it 'EVENING CLUE CHAIN' on a new thread and omit the time frame in the preamble. That should cover the 'night owls' and our antipodean friends.

That's a good idea, RE--- if I may join in the discussion!

hi re, i often have pressing engagements----- we call it "mum doing the ironing" in our house!!!

Like yr idea -- a bit like what i was waffling on about earlier.

You're too clever by half bobs mum.

btw - did you see my post on your 'back home' thread?

The Clue CHAIN preamble states 'Game usually finishes around 6pm' There is nothing to stop folks carrying on into the evening - I think you are suggesting unnecessary complications. jws tried an evening thread and it didn't work so we went back to the old format,

So it's back to the critical point - how can we encourage newbies (to Clue Chain) to join in?

Good morning all....feeling a bit nostalgic today....so with our new search facility looked back to see when clue chain started.

'twas the 15th November 2011....then on a Thursday.

Rambler.....kicked it off, closely followed by Trevor with...

Don't forget about your penis? (8)

Which was answered a minute later by djawhuf!

Still makes me laugh.....
