There are still three unclaimed points between Piggy and yebellz, but yebellz is ahead even if Piggy gets all of them, so I propose that we end the game here, with the following ranking:
I wasn’t sure from how we worded the rules whether anyone could just make a binding poll. Confirming via PM sounds like a good idea. But it would still be useful if everybody could vote in the poll. If somebody does not agree, it would be good to start the discussion right away
(I’m not being strategic here, the next few moves surely don’t matter at all, so it makes no difference to the game if we discuss the end result now or in two weeks)
Thank you everyone for playing, especially to the replacements who all picked up tough positions to deal with, which shaped their fate before they even joined.
A very big thank you to @Vsotvep for organizing and adjudicating!
