YoungWillz 21,178 Posted April 8, 2020 Lol, there's just a few of us playing - whatever happened to @Squonk? Course you can, you can't pick anyone who has been picked already for each round. New round starts when a QO has been posted in the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but he left us all alone and didn't show up for ages. So we took over! And yeah, I only will take part up to the end of the year. But maybe other players will stay - so welcome @Yvonne 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
