Open Ada's eSafe Thunderball Game - REGISTER

[TheGoodGuy]

For this game to get off the ground...

I require 14 of you to post here to pick your Thunderballs please.

You may choose your own Thunderball number (1 - 14) if you wish.
This will obviously be accepted on a first come first served basis.
If you choose not to pick your own number then I will allocate you one once 14 people have posted.

Be aware that if I do not get 14 players by midnight Tuesday 31st January, then the game will not proceed and we can forget all about it.

Ada.

[susanwells]

[bigcumba]

if not WHY NOT ???

I think you may have been a bit too late Susan.... looks like Mat got the last spot.

[TheGoodGuy]

Right that's it...
14 of you have now successfully registered.
The game can now proceed.

Mathare was the last person to land a place.

Jonahjones & Susan and others....
If you follow the game you can still join in because...

After each draw, if the eSafe remains unopened due to an incorrect combination being submitted, the drawn Thunderball becomes available for new ownership.
By being the first person to correctly answer a question that I will post, you will become the new 'owner' of that Thunderball.

Anybody can answer the question, even those already 'owning' a Thunderball, as you are allowed to 'own' a MAXIMUM of 2 Thunderballs.

Watch out for a new 'In Play' thread that I will start up in good time for the start of the game on Wednesday (1st Feb) evening.

Good Luck

Ada.
