The herd has missed a cube here.  My situation is worse than the last time you considered cubing and your position has improved.  Before I had threats if you missed hitting me.  Now I have very few.

Indeed... let's stop and have another look next roll (barring disasters).

Bugger...the herd does need to tell me..particularly when I am posting moves at 6am. Everyone seemed so sure last time, I didnt stop to think... :(

don't worry Diane,

if we had to cube-vote every roll -- the FFM could  get v tedious

we can cube vote next time (perhaps add a too good to cube 3rd vote option?)

similiarly you will sometimes auto move for the players and most times it is great

sometimes you are having to 'facilitate' this match while working,rushing, living etc so don't worry too much

the pace is just right i think

thx again
