I am genuinely sorry.

I searched for it yesterday early morning, saw no one called it and thought it was free, then I scheduled for today. I must've checked prior to your comment being posted.

If you want you can still make it, or you could take Florence from me ;)

Oh indeed you are right. I called Lyon yesterday morning. Only thing you could have done better is you should have called it saying it's been done. Anyway, no harsh feelings, all good!

Oh, also, Florence has unfortunately been taken and it is not the best quiz😭😭

Also, not gonna make one of my own now since yours is definitely good enough, but in the harder side lol

The conclusion I make from all this is that calling a city doesn't matter since some people don't care or they just don't check. Then there are cases like ours where I scheduled the quiz before you called it.

Oh well

Yeah, I know... In this specific case it isn't really your fault, but just an unlucky turn of events. However, I don't care as much because, as I said, I hadn't even started doing it.

There was a case where I had done Lisbon and Poirot responded it had already been done(by a random). That was much worse, but unfortunately it is bound to happen as some people just do it for the takes, without giving a care for anything else... Whatever, all good!
