So I just went through the pluses and minuses of this last segment until today’s numbers. How did cringle go from 23 to 20? I had minus 2 on it and the blue ridge guy should not be able to get a double vote in one segment. Kind of feel like I have to go through this whole thing and tally but I just don’t have the time. if the numbers are off today are they also off in previous entries on other blends?

If I am ever out that way, I am totally buying you a beverage, brother. (and I am originally from WA, another area that would be wiped out by mobilized Tennesseeans... )

:)
I appreciate that buddy. Message me whenever you are in the area. Loads of great pubs and of course food.

Remember an arguable fact, during WWII the government had the mob and New Yorkers patrol the vast coastline of Long Island and NY/NJ ports for German subs. Though we are few, we are patriots through and through.

1: The -2 votes were over
2: Blue ridge was casting a re-vote from where he voted against the Old Boss after it died, then he did his regular vote

Running this game ain’t child’s play but much like Rodney Dangerfield, I can’t get no respect!

Been keeping a tab too, but I adjust my numbers to match @jfrady. They are usually off by just a bit, but I have noticed that Escudo and Cringle seem to have slightly higher numbers than what I tally. I just shrugged it off because this is just a game. Not easy to track because of all the improper votes, which are to be expected.

I'll add that many of these tobacco blends make for excellent smoke. Never tried Escudo or Cringle before, but in considering that many favor them I assume that I would enjoy them too. A bunch of blends got killed off that are good smokes.

Depends on when and how you take the count. If someone votes down a dead blend, I don’t count the up vote until I receive the downvote update, and if received within the hour, I’ll edit the votes into the count rather than counting them the next go round. And when people voted -2 (or even worse, +2’s!) I treated them as 1’s.

It’s accurate. And if it isn’t, any and all complaints may be received through @servant King’s DM inbox.
