can I get focal points

I was coming here to ask that so I will anyway:

Can Matt Morrison get FOCAL points?

Are you allowed to attend if you are a silly kid that's over the age of 16?

Can I play from somewhere different? Cos I don't like Brinsworth.

It's too close to Rotherham, which brings back bad memories for me.

It's very personal, I'd rather not go into it.

Hi Zarte

Just 1 question

What is your favorite numbers selection ?

Mine is 1 Large but sometimes select 6 small or 4 large

I think it's a bit hurtful to my feelings to ask me something so trivial immediately afterwards. But as I'm a kind-hearted person I'll answer.

I like 4 large, as it gives me the least chance to see a 3 or a 7 somewhere on the board. I can just about tolerate the 7 before the 5 in 75, as I quite like the number 5. I don't like 3s and 7s. I won't even order 3, 7, 37 or 73 off a Chinese takeaway menu. Which is problematic as number 37 is my favourite at my local one

Sorry Zarte thank you for answering and also why did you declare AREOLA when you took part in 2013 it made we laugh though, you are such a kind human being

What if Zarte bribes the person who watches him so they don't tell you he's cheating?

Hi won’t Jennifer because it will be someone that I know and I trust them not to do that

This will now be an online event held over a few weeks starting later this month.

It will be held here on c4countdown
1st off player 1 will text how many vowels and consonants they would like and I will reply to both contestants with them vowels and consonants the same with round 2 etc. I will then start a 30 second time which when Tim is up I will text ‘Answers Please’ In which you will both send your answers.The same applies for the numbers.

Forget this event, Co:Ell'shouse is clearly going to be way better.

Ashton, there are a lot of events already, both online and in person. Take part in some of those, familiarise yourself with what they involve and how they work, ask those who organise them how they do it for advice and help (they're very helpful), and then maybe revisit this idea.

What, 12 games in total? Normally people are more interested in how many games each person will play. COLON doesn't advertise itself as "198 games plus the final", because that number depends on how many people show up. Usually it's "everyone plays 6 games".

If you're splitting everyone into groups of three and doing it Lincoln-style, how does everyone play three games? In each round of Lincoln-style, everyone plays two games (one against each of the other people on their table) and hosts one (between the two other people on their table).

The best advice I can give has already been given to you by Mark:

Even people who have organised events before and/or have been attending events for years often find them difficult and stressful to put together. There's a lot of work involved which the players never normally see. I wouldn't recommend trying to host a co-event until you've at least attended some to get a first-hand idea of how they work.

Fuck it, I'm probably down for this. It might be something we talk about for years.

Matt at this point I have to ask you to watch your language as it is very insulting towards my event also you said you were attending CoBrin before it broke down so you are obliged to do attend this event.

Matt Morrison becomes our 1st ever entrant to Countdown in Rotherham.

I am delighted to announce that Dinos Sfyris will be my Co-Host for this event

If that's true and is confirmed by Dinos then that massively increases this event's credentials.

I know him and he has said he will.So don’t question me on it.

Come on let’s get some participants Dinos and I need some.

I spoke to Dinos this morning and told him that I only had Matt Morrison to participate.

Dinos, when asked if this was true or not: "Haha! This is the first I've heard of it! "

Dinos, when asked if he knows you: "Lmao I've never heard of him! I would respond to the carnage but I've lost my c4c login details! "

Yesterday Ashton was publicly claiming that his event was a FOCAL event, and in PM to me he insisted Jeff had approved it. It didn't take much effort to find out that this was a lie.

You can imagine how surprised I am at this latest development.

I'll sign up. Rotherham is on my list of top 3 tourist destinations I'd like to visit. Shall I pay in Ruble or Bitcoin?

It is free

Ashton, you should probably know that quite a lot of us know each other outside of this forum and the show. We actually hang out in real life and stuff. So it's probably not a good idea to lie about things people have supposedly agreed to do, because we'll know. I mean it's a bad idea to lie in general, but it's a really bad idea to lie about things that are so easily disproved.
