A slow start for Tony in his fourth game. Can he catch Ian up?

A few alts/beaters about: SOCAGE as alt to OMEGAS in R2. There's a beater to SOOTHED/SHOUTED in R4.
I was happy with DOMINIES for 8 until DIMENSION was revealed.
(9+2)x(10+1) is the nice way to 121 of course.

It's only come up once before in a letters game according to wiki. It was also one of Matthew Tassier's conundrum solutions less than a year ago though, which is probably how I managed to remember it.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Tactical error not to risk OUTRAKE from the challenger considering he declared second. Reminds me of the time Kirk Bevins didn't risk SLOUGHS against Deeks in the COLIN final when Deeks had already declared 7. Kirk too lost as a result.

How come he gets a full name but I just get a surname? Is it because you hate me more or like me more? Please give me the answer you feel I would most benefit from hearing. Thank you in advance.

It's because I was doing it on my phone and got fed up with the whole typing thing.

Fortunately, you normally shorten it to Mark Deeks.
