What, do we have to call you Ian Volante from now on?

Haha oops. Obviously that was meant to be me.

The schedule below should be pretty good - it (just about) minimises the risk of teams meeting each other in the semis who they've played at another game in the quarters. It also makes sure the QFs can take place all simultaneously (assuming that all the games take the same amount of time). You can'...

Liam Tiernan, Lloyd Pettett and Lesley Hines all because RoM told me to.

Which is safer to go for out of RE(verb) or (verb)ER? I just had REDISCUSS disallowed as a conundrum and the answer was DISCUSSER. Is there any way to know which is the right one to go for?

Or do I just have to know?

James Hall

Did anything happen about the less-good-people tournament, or were there not enough takers?

James Hall

I'd be up for tourney for the mere humans among us too...

All three please

Some exciting things happening on the front page - what Rhys said plus "Query failed in gen mode [ ]".

Hehe nice one.

You can surely get reds and greens and things, so why not mauves?

I'm having real trouble with the chat - sometimes I just can't get a cursor to appear in it (and typing doesn't yield a result). I'm running on a Mac - is that likely to make a difference?

James Hall

I believe the appropriate phrase is "Cock It"

Well they're no less fictional than manticores - I just thought as a mythical beast it would be a good score.

MINOTAURS

I was well chuffed when I saw it too...

James Hall

Of the original £30, each of the three customers has £1, the waiter has £2 and the till has £25 - helps me to work out where all of the £30 went.

James Hall

Not bad, although it did make me feel like I'm being advertised at for Christmas again. September is just too early.

Or have I just walked into a donkey trap?

senselessnesses has only four letters and four syllables. Am I on the right track?

James Hall

screeched

are all 9-letter non-plurals which Lexplorer says don't have any anagrams. Plus I got splotched in an ascension a couple of days ago, so I know that's in!

Did this die a death or might it still happen?

If you lose a Star Chart game you still gain 1 experience for it.

When playing Omlette, if you have two scoring words the same length it seems to think that the one you didn't submit was something you missed in the comentary (e.g. "and bad luck - WORD is there!")

Nothing serious, but still a bug

Looking forwards to it

James Hall

Also (completely forgot in my wave of disbelief at winning something!), a great big thank you to Andrew - I've had a great time playing in the summer open and I'm sure it's improved my game. So thanks, you big legend.

The U1000 final was a very close affair, both matches going crucial. First match Shaun buzzed in really quickly and I thought I'd lost it, only to be handed the chance to take it back again.

Hey Charlie

in the skills tab within the java app, it's showing all my skills as level 0. The experience points are right (I think) though.

Just thought I'd let you know.

U1000 had an awesome match against Liam: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=94417 Liam takes the lead on a pretty rapid crucial. I'd like to say I wasn't far behind him but that wouldn't be true! http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=94423 I scrape a win to stay in the match. Must confess...

A fantastic match against Julie, both highly enjoyable games going to crucial conundrums.

Processor, Macintosh and Microchip?

in hyper unlimited you could play POSSESSIONLESSNESSES, which, if nothing else, is the word with the most Ss in it.

James Hall

I apologise in advance...

There are unconfirmed reports that it happened when he tripped over a child's pram.
Police say it's too early to blame it on the buggy.

I did apologise in advance...

James Hall

On a different subject (hence the different post), are any of them the same as the eggs were?

James Hall

I reckon an ace would have to be for a max game - it would make sense. I'm not expecting to be first to get one ;) It's not just any game - I just maxed a junior 9-rounder (the only thing I'll ever have any hope of maxing!) and didn't get anything. Maybe it's 15 rds +? Or perhaps standard only? Edi...

Normally you're only allowed a finite number of functions.

Kai, the gamma function, as far as integers are concerned, is defined thus:
Γ(n) = (n-1)!

ahaha it looks like I just copied Howard's post!
