personally i like the cheerful snappy ending when G says
"point for so and so!"

we tend to argue about everything else at PF sometimes forever so this has a nice closure and finiteness that is a refreshing change

also whether G is right or wrong he is awarding the point to the answer THAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR and the game is to guess that, so only he can say

i probably would disagree with G on various other things but i rather like the format of this game, both to play and observe, as it is

but goo, if you like to discuss things come to one of the forums and ask a question, i promise you will get plenty of discussion!
