It would appear that the topic Puzzles is highly popular given the number of Posts and Views. Data and I had a chat about possible changes to this topic, in the chat room, with regard to whom should post the next puzzle.

What was proposed, instead of the winner being placed under pressure to come up with a conundrum befitting, the site, probably Legion, would select a member at random. That member would be allowed a preset time allowance to make the post. LOA accepted of course. Failure to post would result in a spell in the Sin Bin.  :P

What do you all think ?.
It WILL be fine !...

I like the idea of change. Not sure about the random, Legion thing though.

Whomever wants to play, put their name on a running list and take turns from that.
Prob need another thread to keep track of who is playing. So as it doesn't interfere with the main thread.

Either idea sounds good to me. There have been several times where I had a puzzle to put forth when it wasn't my turn, and also a couple of times where it was, and I had nothing ready, so I think that's a good idea. :)

I'm not sure what would be best really.

The main reason for changing it was so people would answer the puzzle without the dreaded fear of having to come up with another puzzle.

There must be a way round it, I'm going off the idea of legion picking someone at random, now thinking a better way would be of putting yourself forward with the next puzzle in some way.

Still like the idea of putting someone in the sin bin for not taking their tern though  :LOL:, again somehow.
