And notably all players have completed over 44% of their games.

One question, are the paused games due to vacation? Because they may be paused due to the other games the player has in that situation.

Yes, there are just 6 players with more than one ongoing game.

One game seems abandoned by one player and still paused.

Other games were paused because of vacation. Those pauses don’t last long, just as expected.

If this should end up being the last remaining game feel free to ping me and I’ll end it for you so the next round can begin.

If the finale is as unsatisfactory as that one, I’m gonna riot beyond the grave.

The saying is older, but AFAIK it became popular through GoT.

The finale or in general? Because for the finale I’m right up there with you. In retrospect, the rest of it wasn’t much either.

In general. Never got into the thinly veiled soft-core porn.

so far this tournament has spanned 2 US presidents, 2 British Monarchs, and 3 British Prime ministers.

Greek Presidential elections were just before the tournament. We had National elections just recently, but we got the same ruling party, so it doesn’t feel like I’m getting my money’s worth yet.

Somehow I thought this number would be larger.
