I personally would be less likely to participate in an evening session.

How would you suggest advertising Clue Chain, bobs mum? I suppose the introductory text could be made more encouraging for new participants, but if they have already decided against joining in, they probably wouldn't read it. Perhaps a "recruiting thread" alongside the first Clue Chain post might be the way to go?

To be honest I'm pessimistic and I started the other thread to confirm my doubts about more people wanting to join in. I think chrise is right to continue on Mondays for as long as folks want to play.

The first (or possibly second) time I joined in, there was a protracted and learned follow-up discussion of one of my clues (for TITIAN), which I found a bit daunting. However since then I have found discussion much more openly friendly and relaxed, and I look forward to Monday afternoons accordingly.

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.
