Where have all the recaps gone?
The last one here seems to be from 4 March.

The collapse of the recap writer for 2-3 weeks or however long it was seems to have put a period of inactivity on the recaps.Stewart Gordon wrote:The last one here seems to be from 4 March.
I have been storing the info and am doing some that others haven't done yet, but they are coming on, slowly......

Re: Where have all the recaps gone?
I thought we had multiple recap writers ... so they've all collapsed?
(I'd volunteer myself, but knowing me I'd probably fall behind with it.)
For the meantime, where's the best place to start discussions of things referred to on individual Countdown episodes? For example:

- the words the contestants or DC came up with (or didn't)
- whether a word should have been allowed or not
- something mentioned in the chat at the beginning, the guest anecdote, or OoW

Re: Where have all the recaps gone?
The downtime for the recap writer has meant that on its return to life, people had 3 or more recaps to catch up on and so now have to find the time to do them, and that assuming they have kept them all on Sky Plus, as they are only on 4OD for a month.
We will get through them somehow, but in the meantime I'm afraid a degree of patience is called for.

I could probably do the odd recap although only for shows that are still on 4OD and for today onwards as I've deleted the rest from my Humax.

If you could do some of the Tuesday recaps, that would be great, Tim.Tim Down wrote:I could probably do the odd recap although only for shows that are still on 4OD and for today onwards as I've deleted the rest from my Humax.
Are you familiar with how the recap writer works??
Re: Where have all the recaps gone?
No, but I'm sure I can work it out. I thought I'd seen a guide for writing recaps somewhere but I can't seem to find it now.James Robinson wrote:If you could do some of the Tuesday recaps, that would be great, Tim.Tim Down wrote:I could probably do the odd recap although only for shows that are still on 4OD and for today onwards as I've deleted the rest from my Humax.

Go to the main recap page, and hit the "How to do a recap" option, the rest is pretty self-explanatory.Tim Down wrote:No, but I'm sure I can work it out.

OK. I'll get onto that, probably on Thursday.James Robinson wrote:March 22 would be nice.
One thing that occurs to me is that writing the recap involves duplication of effort: you could generate most of a recap from the game data used by the game page on the Countdown wiki.
