Man, I used to drag it back a hair myself and thought that was just how you keep the mortar from pulling. Then a guy showed me the light catching on those smeared lips across a whole wall and I couldn't unsee it. Flush and one steady pass really does tighten the joint up. I was wrong on this one.

Five hours is rough but honestly the "one more round" thing is on your group, not the game. Catan has a built in clock if people actually play to win instead of hoarding cards and refusing every trade. The real fix is a turn timer, like 60 seconds per turn and if you don't trade you lose the offer. Also playing to 8 points instead of 10 cuts a solid hour off. Blaming the game for a table full of stubborn traders is a bit unfair.

Didn't the IRS say it's a form banks file, not a flag?
