Just repeating what everyone else has said, but absolutely phenomenal effort Ed, got to be one of the best on-screen performances ever.

Innis Carson

Count me in.

Really well done Adam, a fantastic run and you made it seem virtually effortless, while also remaining modest and down-to-earth about it all. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Jonathan Maitland was pretty good too I thought, he seemed to show genuine interest and insight into the words rather than just...

Hmm so finishing 1st rewards you with playing another 1st placed player? Had I have known I'd have finished bottom in my group. I don't get it. If I'm understanding it right you need to be in the top pool to win overall, if you'd come last in your prelim group your best possible overall result woul...

Innis Carson

Hope this does end up happening, Leeds seems easy enough for me to get to so I'd be more than keen to go if it did.

Innis Carson

Innis 119-101 Kirk

Both of us suffered a bit from poor decision-making; both of us had FOLKIE, I had CUBAGES and he presumably had LUPOID. Overall it was very close, and by virtue of marginally winning the 'who can press P fastest' contest, I scraped through. Unlucky Kirk, cheers for the game.

Really good contest this, kind of makes me wish I hadn't found out the result beforehand. Great play from both of you.

Quarter-final: Innis Carson 187-157 Bob De Caux Bob unfortunately suffered from an early misclick, and it looked like the 10-point difference was going to remain for the whole game, but I seemed to hit rare form and managed to pull ahead towards the end. Bob's a phenomenal numbers player and there's...

Private conversations are fine and all, but this kind of casts a different light on the endless criticism the forum used to get for having an 'in-crowd', after all that's pretty much exactly what this is.

Innis Carson

Some idiocy and ignorant comments are sadly to be expected from people who try to judge you entirely based on what little they saw of you on TV, like those on Digital Spy and other sites like that, but I'd be very surprised if there is any genuine spite towards you among people who've actually met y...

Curses. Never wanted to play Aegilops again but you've forced me now.

I found that one of the missing ones had been recapped already by Robert, guess he didn't submit it to the database. Submitted it for him.

But yeah I'll hopefully get on with the rest of them starting tonight.

I've heard that following a suggestion from Mike Brown, the Edinburgh Countdown Club people are thinking of possibly running a CO-event in Edinburgh next year (CO-EDI?). Still just an idea at this stage though I think.

Sorry about my last game, admittedly I haven't really made any effort to arrange it.

Thanks for running everything Kai, we could always do with more tournaments on Apterous, and there's been absolutely nothing wrong with your hosting. Cheers!

Innis Carson

What about the %max record, which some might see as more important than the total score? By my reckoning, if Jack wins with 120 points today, he'll take the record as long as he drops no more than 18 points against the max. Without meaning to be too much of a downer, I think he's just barely missed...

Innis Carson

Clearly if that works for you then there's no arguing with that, but I think for many people it would be easier to get inflections right by associating a meaning with a word and working it out logically from there (as you would do naturally) than by painstakingly memorising "verb/adjective/noun...

Innis Carson

Indeed, an example of how learning the meanings of words can help you play better (and look less of an idiot).

Congrats Eoin! Really enjoyed watching that, you held your nerve really well from start to finish. Finals are going to be the best ever at this rate.

Bah. You just lost a vote.

Innis Carson

Yeah I found this pretty painful to watch as well, although he did have quite a few opportunities to score a bit more. Can't imagine Eoin would have felt entirely comfortable either. Nonetheless, very well played again.

Innis Carson

Yeah I really don't see the point in buzzing that quickly unless you're trying to go down in countdown history for the fastest solve or something. I mean surely no non-apterite has ever buzzed before about 3 seconds, so you don't gain anything points-wise by buzzing that early. Probably also comes ...

Innis Carson

Personally I don't think I'd like this much, it's nice to be able to use the full time in duels to deliberate and check your answer and stuff without fear of it costing you. But I suppose as long as it's made clear that conundrum time matters, it's fair.

Might be a daft question but I've often wondered: if for example the selection is HGAORANPT and the first vowel in the next round is E, someone might say "Oh, if I'd picked a final vowel in the last round we'd have had ORPHANAGE", as would be the case on TV. But is that necessarily true on...
