I think it is time that we move these to their own forum. Enough folks have seen this to follow it over the forum, and we can move all previous Round the World Tour message to that forum. Look for me to create a forum and do this shortly.

all my conditions are met i will not continue with the baton, it is up for grabs, everyone who would like to particpate in the multiplayer please tune to 66.32.12.127 I plan on being there in a baron, i think it would be fitting that the baton holder is the last one to land at heathrow with all of us cheering on the ground it is up for grabs at EGCF!

Everyone here is tired of me trying to grab that baton and failing at every attempt. It was fun following the trip along. Super idea!!!Do it again.

But I'm depressed. N96, you *must* have my messages, because you saw them. Did they not get captured?I demand a recount -- I want the *full* transcript (this is beginning and beginning to look more and more like another Watergate). LOL.(I didn't fly for 1 1/2 hours in a jet I never flew and sweated bullets just for nothing -- for that I would have flown the Baron and just observed)

My own advice would be that at least one rule is you can't grab the baton again unless a three hour period has passed (or one flight time, or whatever).This isn't to put blame on those who did -- but I feel as many people as possible should participate, and this would help greatly, I think. Either that or when two or more people grab the baton within five minutes of each other, the one who has never flown a leg should get preference (and after that, if more than one hasn't flown before, the time rules apply). I think in this manner people like yourself would have a chance.I would have been happy to fly just one leg -- I was lucky to fly three but I don't feel I hogged the baton.
