I'm assuming here that everyone involved can read posts even if they can't log in to post themselves. Further assuming that the site's problems in fact get fixed sometime tomorrow (per chrise's earlier post):

1) For Friday's PR, jws, simon, spike and tyke still need to vote and patrich probably can't log in either. But, he can wrap up PR once the last 4 votes come in, whenever they arrive.

2) It seems clear the deadline for WPR needs to be extended: I propose that clues should be in by noon (UK time) Monday June 6, and then voting can take place from noon to 6 pm. Given that all the votes usually come in pretty quickly, the compressed voting period shouldn't be too much of a problem. I think this also gives mattrom time to vote before it gets too late in Oz.

3) mathprof can then post CLUELESS Monday night at more or less the usual time, and we'll be back on track.

Any comments from anyone who has site access?

Your suggestion on PR seems sensible, buddy - it seems to have stalled. On the other hand, all the posters on WPR must have been able to log in?

Yes but there are many regulars who have not posted clues presumably because they can’t log in.

My goal was to give everyone a chance to play

Makes sense Buddy, good plan, thanks

I see your point - I was thinking more of the mechanics of the competition.

I'm good with whatever you all decide. I was still on the fence on entering WPR anyway; nothing good immediately came to mind. I'm not having any trouble logging in, so I can start Clueless late Monday.f

Good idea re WPR, Buddy. Yes, with the current Daylight Saving times I can vote early if the voting starts at noon (UK time)

giving this a bump
