Xong on Zoom
If any of you use Zoom, I think I can get a game using a shared window with a co-host who is allowed to make changes on the shared window, but I don't know if this can be done.
This is not the whiteboard option, that is something else.

Re: more Xong stats - Game 500 in the books!
Move 22, the Give from Red to Blue at turn 22 was the winner, making 5 places left that could not be altered by a Blue give back to Red and they went: 23. the Kiwi; 24. the Hat; 25. the Cowboy; 26. the Mae West; and finally 27. the Horse.

total legs per turn = 8.6053

total red lasts = 308
blue turns = 8830
red turns = 9138
points per turn, red = 2.16809
points per turn, blue = 2.24371
hexes used = (19812 + 19812 - 632)/2 = 19496
efficiency = (19496/40382) = 0.482789
killed = 40382 - 19496 = 20886
killed per game = 33.0475
after 632 measured games:
(again holo = odd hexes, odd legs generated on board, hole = odd hex, even leg, helo = even hex, odd leg and hele = even hex, even leg board)
holo hole helo hele
r 79 79 79 79 316
b 79 79 79 79 316
after all games: 1096
holo hole helo hele
r 137 137 137 137 548
b 137 137 137 137 548

of note here is the number 137 in the grand total lines, the Fine Structure Constant of Physics lately featured in the youtubes.

Possible way for me to publish!!!
Just a moment...
Can anyone see this????
it says "just a moment" but if you click it, it goes to my game site.
then you have to click on the first pic to get the text description.
i have to shrink the view down to 89% on my laptop to see it better.
