Cerberus 302 Posted January 20, 2021 15 hours ago, En Passant said: Ha, that's only because they are all adding historic dates to the guesses. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and so on. When/if the latest lockdown/vaccine rollout brings the numbers back down to the low hundreds there's only so many references to Hengist and Horsa or such anyone can dredge up I'd imagine. Even wiki can't seem to list a single English Monarch prior to the 5th century Anything below 500 is probably struggling for an accurate date, 1500+ year old papyrus being hard to come by and all that. The dates of the Roman and early Byzantine emperors are well documented though - and there were loads of them in the 3rd century - it's only when we get below 200 that we'll really be struggling I reckon. I would stop playing this today if it was going to stop one person dying (or, if I'm honest, if I lost a close family member to Covid) but until then ... 1756 for Thursday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted January 20, 2021 I'm actually more concerned to see that new cases are up by 5000 from yesterday - hope that turns out to be a blip and we're under 30K by this time next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
