I have a feeling points are going to come in waves and droughts, because as people align parts of the board to make passages, other players can then take advantage of those (like discrider's crazy U-shaped path to the ghost that made a straight shot for jdarksun to get the skull & crossbones), until the passages start to get broken up out of necessity. And then there will be another slow period as players start to build new paths.

Did ArcSyn score?
Nope, they've gotta wait for another opportunity to get where they are going. But, that was like 6 scoring turns in a row you all had before it. The jeweled ring was ArcSyn's first point in the game, oddly enough.
Score:
ArcSyn = 2 (jeweled ring, mail coif)
discrider = 2 (treasure map, ghost)
JPants = 2 (rat, moth)
jdarksun = 2 (candelabra, skull & crossbones)
And just so we have the current board & tile on the current page...
Yeah, it all depends on how the paths go. My wife once beat me soundly because she scored 4-5 turns in a row while I was struggling to make paths.
Of course, that was two player so the board moved less between turns.
Orient -|, insert left side of middle row (next to princess).
Move U R U U U L L L D L D D L L on to princess.

Sorry, that's where the 'friendly troll' tile was just pushed out from (I should probably start noting that in the board updates). Gotta find somewhere else to put it back on the board.
Orient like as is and insert up from bottom of middle column.
Move L, D, L to keys
cross fingers that I have finally made a successful move on the first try.

Nup.
You're trying to cross a wall to get onto the rat.

Hey H3K, if you can put the score at the bottom of each update that would be awesome. If it's any amount of work, don't worry about it. I can easily scroll, it's just nice to reference (and cause i can never remember who is what colors)

Nah, that's no problem. It's not like I'd need to re-enter the formatting each time, I can just quote it from the last post and update the info as needed.

I don't want to be a nag and 'at' people every turn, but I feel like 24 hours is long enough to merit a poke for attention. JPants, it's your turn now.
@ArcSyn@discrider@jdarksun@JPants Since it's the holidays now, and at least a few of you are playing in the mummy [phalla] thread, let me know if you guys want to put this on hold, or want me to start pinging you when its your turn, or any other changes/adjustments to how we're running this. Lord knows I haven't been able to babysit this thread as much as I planned to when I started it up, so I don't begrudge anyone being slow to respond.
