Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted. I have another tribe who had a runner, but it was when I first started playing and I didn't know what I was doing. Didn't even notice the Awards page for a while, lol! That runner, sadly, is now gone. He has one of the original tombstones. I haven't had a runner since. Now in this second tribe, the one where I've been working on creating a JOAT or JOAF (?) I haven't let the game run unless I'm playing it. I pause it when I'm not actually playing. So every bit of progress has been painstakingly eked out.

But I really have hope with her (I named her Becca -- the game named her Buca) so I'm pausing it so that I can control what happens.
