PJ is going to run this game. I think the consensus was that, since the game has been stalling, possibly because people don't want to win, since they have to commit to running the game, that the person who wins can decline and whoever wants can take over. Maybe the first person who says they want it, as long as it's not the same person twice in a row. Does that make any sense? :-) CC Yes, makes sense, and Thanks CC :-) ID: 1534635 ·
