Oops, my mistake. I got the stations muddled.

No trains omit Pembroke, so Lamphey was the last valid stop. Therefore, I'll strike through my Pembroke Dock.

Actually, my posting of Pembroke Dock was invalid, I've struck it through.

This unfortunately means that you've been caught out as your posting of Pembroke is valid.

My fault, sorry.

In all fairness I've been dealing with quite a major problem, and that's been added onto by tiredness.

That should have been Pembroke Dock for the winner. There has been no change to rule 10 yet so I shall consult with the other adjudicators as to what to award. In any case, play must continue with the leg which started at Lydney.

In line with rule 6, as that last leg had more than 3 hours but less than 6 between the prepenultimate and penultimate stations being played, there will be a 20 point deduction from whatever is awarded, assuming that is more than 19 points.

Just looking at the incident from last night which has been discussed, I assume it was the leg which ended at Hadfield based on the comments made. In which case, there were only 32 minutes between the prepenultimate post at Dinting and the penultimate post at Glossop, thus no crime was committed. Or have I missed something? Unless I'm wrong, using another of Paul's analogies I think I have just been promoted to Jesus. What position does Paul hold on this planet exactly?

Indeed you are totally correct and I will admit to being so utterly confused by the final stages of that leg, despite noting that Darren R had already posted Pembroke, my final posting should have said Pembroke Dock....not Pembroke...but that was all down to my own lack of attention at the time of making the posting. I reiterate that NIL POINTS that I ended that posting with was a just punishment for the lack of attention being paid.

I will content myself with the biblical-style posting that I made earlier in that short thread which I thought was made with humour and a play on words on the style of biblical writing, as this was made in response to an earlier matter on this thread which was totally wrong in its assumption made.

Regarding the previous leg, Pembroke Dock was played erroneously as nothing omits Pembroke. In the confusion, both posts were struck through. However Pembroke was the next valid post (although not a winning move.) When I viewed where we'd been since last night, I could see what had happened and that we were back at Lamphey. I therefore posted Pembroke to get the leg moving again.

However, as Paul's posting of Pembroke was valid (but struck-through) I shouldn't have done that. The fault was mine, for which I can only apologise to all concerned.

I'm not sure where that leaves us about the points from that leg. The only deductions are in regard to the times, but I'll have to go through the entire leg to calculate the total points tally. That's going to have to wait until later when I'm on the pc.

Paul's Pembroke was correctly crossed out because it was he who played Lamphey, hence he couldn't have two consecutive moves. Thus you were correct to play Pembroke.

No need to go through the leg to count up the points tally, it is a kind offer but there is a computerised system to help do that. It is just working out who, if anybody, the points should be awarded to that is tricky.

Having considered the matter of the previous leg, following the precedent of the adjudication over the Market Harborough incident a couple of weeks ago and other accidentally early ended legs, as Pembroke was the last validly posted station on that leg and Pembroke Dock wasn't ever posted, I am awarding the points to Darren R.

The current leg continues in line with rule 10.

Please may I remind contestants of the proposed rule change to rule 10 and the consultation that is running on the matter.
