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.
peteg:
vacation?
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.

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.

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.
