In my opinion, the only fair way out of this is to just replay a single conundrum- if neither of us gets it, Sophie wins 2-1 as she was ahead on points. Not sure if this is an "official" way of conducting the tournament though- if this isn't recognised by the tourney system I'd be happy t...

I have a bit of a bizarre idea for a new format. It came to me when I caught one of those "[name] got a 9 from GANDISEEG, can you?" messages in chat and got the answer, but realised that if I didn't know there was a 9 I'd never have declared it from the selection. It works just like a nor...

I looked on the table thing and it said Rob Foster | Sophie Krol | Unplayed, so we don't think it's saved our first 2 games either! Urm, they're both in your history. One of them isn't marked as a tournament game, you probably matched each other instead of accepting the tourney game. Oh right, mayb...

Kai, Me and Rob played 2 games and we had both won 1. We played our 3rd game, which of course was crucial, and just when we were on a crucial conundrum, it crashed. We went back to Apterous then found our 3rd, almost-finished and crucial game hadn't been saved - it wasn't in our challenges. I looked...

Nah Charlie was just using the American date thingy, like the other thing which didn't happen on the 9th of November 2001. Also, you've got your own topic, so you can just start a new thought there if you want to. Took me a while to notice he'd written 'O b ama'. This is why you can't start new top...

This is why you can't start new topics. ??? why? In memory of Obama bin Laden. 5/2, never forget. Is 5/2 the date you said I couldn't make new topics or something? Anyway, if it is, what's it got to do with Osama Bin Laden?? Nah Charlie was just using the American date thingy, like the other thing ...

1. Can we start playing the games yet or not?
2. Are they normal 15 rounders?
3. So i'm playing rob right?
4. Rob, any particular time that would suit you? I can't do any earlier than 6.25 on weekdays.

Then the top seed ( :oops: ) will get a bye and 2nd will play 11th, 3rd will play 10th etc. The 6 remaining will then play 1st vs 6th, 2nd vs 5th and 3rd vs 4th. The final will be a round robin; if no-one wins both games, the winner will be decided on points. So basically (because the 2nd seed will...

When I was playing the duel today my connection was lost a couple of times.

That's true! I mean, even though the bots are computers, they aren't 18 years old yet! Most are about 2! So, does that mean we'd have to play bots instead of people or something? Dunno about that - just as a dog year is reckoned to be about seven human years, wouldn't a computer year be a gazillion...
