The new "most multitalented letterists" page has numbers scores for the Aegilops column. I thought it was weird that I had no entry for that variant, seeing as I currently hold the joint high score and have probably played it more than anyone else.

I see you've fixed the article before the word "Unlimited". It also comes up in the lobby with "X got/missed an nine from..."

How about an item for missing an Aegilops max that is spelt out for you, e.g. declaring OPEN or PENT from the selection PEN? Maybe call it a numbskull (although Dinos and I called it a stupidsuit / stoopidsuit when we missed a couple in our game)?

MEJWL...

any ideas?

Interesting apterday this one. First, I broke the high score for Omelette Conndrum Attack: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=256665 . Then I had an epic 3 games with Kirk. First, this bullet conundrum attack: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=256705 . Then, this speed conundrum attac...

I checked and I'm only eligible for the U1400. So please sign me up for that. Thanks for the info.

My rating has just (very recently) crept above 1400. Does this mean I'm ineligible unless I purposely lose some points? Otherwise I would like to take part.

MELLOWER http://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?g=1&word=mellower&dic=0 ended up costing me the game. On a similar note, *SHALLOWER isn't in. SHALLOWED, SHALLOWING, SHALLOWLY and SHALLOWNESS all are. So it doesn't make much sense to me. NB: Of course Liam could have declared the obvious 7 EE...

The "today's games" times are an hour behind. Maybe it hasn't "sprung forward" yet to British Summertime.

Is there any way of salvaging a game that was lost in a server meltdown? Just I was more than 10 points ahead of Richard Brittain and then it cut off as I clicked "play next round" for the conundrum. The game has now disappeared. It would have been my biggest ever win.

I was more than 10 points ahead of Richard Brittain with just the conundrum left and then the server cut off and wiped out our game. First time I ever played him and had overturned huge rating gap (had 4% chance of winning). GRRRRRRRR

After each conundrum solution is entered the game is left "hanging", without showing the solution box, sometimes not even registering the result even though it's told me I've got the right answer, like in this game http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=202282 , where I had to replay a...

"vocoid" It's a phonetic term pertaining to voice. I have seen it quite a few times in written form, and I checked it up in an online dictionary. However, I don't have an up-to-date copy of the OED (and I don't know if it can be viewed online); does anyone know if this word is in there? If...

Same as above; here's another game from The Ovapass where letters weren't max only:

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=195698

My qualifying games v Jim Bentley have been put on hold due to rounds frequently not popping up on my screen, which leads to nothing being declared and is obviously a disadvantage for me. I have sent some data to Charlie and he's trying to sort it. If it isn't fixed soon, then we can try to play and...

This game in The Ovapass was listed as "maximums only" in the scoring, but this didn't apply to the letters rounds for some reason (non-maximums scored as well).

This isn't a big problem, but every time I open the Apterous homepage or click on a link to any page within the site, the message "Quick Pester: Would you like to be notified by email (youremail@address) when someone comments on a game in which you participated?" reappears. I have clicked ...

So, I'll either be up against an octochamp or an octochamp-slayer. 1000-1 suddenly seems flattering!

Please count me in for the qualifiers.
