[QUOTE=exclamation!] Yes, I’m **bridgetbridget**. Why is that a suprise?! [/QUOTE] \ Uhhh, cuz bridgetbridget and exclamation! are two different words with no obvious connection? I’m Zaphod23, but you’d only know cuz I mentioned it here. You never gave your CC name before this post. ETA that I remember reading. ---

I only said “why is that a suprise?!”, because **RoOsh** was suprised that bridgetbridget = exclamation! for reasons including and beyond the different usernames confusion. He thought **exclamation!** was a male poster. I was mainly asking due to my own suprise, I didn’t realise my username here was masculine. And you’re right, I haven’t identified myself in this thread as bridgetbridget. I did in the last thread when I started playing against other dopers, but I guess it’s time for a refresher. Sorry for any confusion guys! 🙂 ---

New Game! For those who are waiting for one, or those who have been or will soon be eliminated from their current game **#2575973, usual password** This is a team game: 2v2v2v2 (four teams of 2) So remember to use and check the chat section often - that’s where the strategies are discussed. And in team games you have the option of posting only so your teammate(s) can see it or for the whole game to see it. ---

**anyrose** , I wish I could join in but I’m caught up in my four games at the moment. One has come down to a stalemate, we’ve each taken continents but none of us have to numbers to break out. Argh! Besides, can the question-marked players join a team game? ---

I don’t know. You lose the question mark to an actual rank (could be as low as cook) after you completel your fifth game, but if you’re specifically invited, I think there’s no minimum game requirement ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] room for two more over here! [/QUOTE] I got the last slot. Game on!! Danalan’s up. I think these may be my favorite settings, esp. unlimited forts. I don’t mind escalating cards, I’m usually lucky with cards, but flat rate works, too. I was caught by surprise that in flat rate, same color is worth four, and one of each is worth ten. WTF is up with that? Oh well, now I know. Oh, and I’ve noticed that it’s doubles, this time. ---

Only thing I dislike is the Sequence in doubles games- I actually prefer the Freestyle- i get to play once every day at least. With this one, it is theoretically possible I wouldnt get to play for a week! ---

[/QUOTE] Hahaha, it’s cool, I wasn’t calling dibs! So nerrrr to you too. 🙂 Oh, and **SLK** , with flat rate cards, the set of three red is worth four points, three green is worth six, and three blue is worth eight. ---

All right, I joined three of the Rockhoppers games. Two of those boards I’ve never played on. That flat rate is totally backwards, the red cards should be worth most. I like red. ---
