Is this one canceled then?

Katie | 1634 comments No, we're good. I'm reading The Chalmers Case.

Ok I’m confused. You had stricken it out, now it’s not.

Are both beaters attacking?

Okay, because she crossed it out, then uncrossed it out and it's impacting our timing start FYI


message 364: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments I'm going with the original post time since that's when I started reading it.


message 365: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments I can start over if you want, though. I'm not very far into it, obviously.

I meant of our defense since now we are starting later than we originally could have because of the confusion

Gryffindor Beater

Judith won't leave Donna defenseless and swoops in for the save by reading The Chalmers Case (same book)


message 368: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Right. Which is why I offered to start over if you're having problems with it.


message 369: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5941 comments I am sorry there was a bit of confusion around that post

Danielle as well? Since it effected/stalled both Beaters responses?


message 372: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments I can't speak for Danielle.

It was an honest mistake. I offered to start over if you'd like. I rather think that me being here and hashing this out instead of reading is making up for that lost time anyway.


message 373: by Marie (UK) (last edited Jun 27, 2018 09:39AM) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5941 comments Danielles was posted right and not altered there is nothing to gripe at there


message 374: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5941 comments This is in effect my fault - not Danielle's or Katie's I am finding announcing is much more difficult than reading. Tell us what you want Katie to do and lets just play on


message 375: by Elen (last edited Jun 27, 2018 09:41AM) (new)

Elen | 1273 comments From the last match we played, we announced the wrong chain we counted it as void and started a new one instead, bc it wouldn't be fair for opposite team.

But I don't know how it's this time... Shannon? (Looking at Mod)


message 376: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5941 comments we are willing to abide by whatever you decide but i think we do need to make a decision.

Judith (brownie72011) | 7439 comments Mod
As far as I'm concerned, the clock can start from my defense post.

I wasn't trying to start a rumble or anything, part of the issue was posts crossing in cyberspace.

But we are racing each other, the clock, and Suzanne potentially breaking our quaffle so on our end especially ever minute is counting.


message 378: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5688 comments Mod
Given that a couple of days ago a non-alphabetical chain was announced and no penalties were given, could we accept that we are all human and make mistakes, count it as even and play on as normal? I suspect Katie has spent longer than the 10 mins between her posts, not reading to find out what the ruling will be.

Basic summary - shake hands and keep going for this score


message 379: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (countessmom) | 4087 comments I’m not going to mod our game, and I can go get someone else, but Judith pretty much summed it up, The issue here is timing. Gryffindor is on the clock potentially racing your Keeper. Both Beaters were tied up because they were trying to figure out what y’all were doing. So long as you guys aren’t planning on trying to break the Quaffle in between the confusion, it really doesn’t matter.

But I can go see if another mod is available if you’d like.

Elen | 1273 comments Gryffindor's Chasers
