It's been there since September - I want it changed.Gavin Chipper wrote:Anyway, I've just checked the Wiki and the game isn't up and as James Robinson puts it up as it happens, we clearly all imagined this game.

I've been checking every day for months in the hope that he would make it.
I know. How is it changed?

Was just thinking that. UNDERLAIN woulda been great, I think Adam would've risked that had that not been the first round.Josh Hurst wrote:I just took a well needed revision break to watch this episode. What an awesome show. Three tricky nines, plus deposable, which is in the SOED6 (The one that winning contestants receive in their goody bag. It comes in two parts, and despite the name it contains more words than the one used on the show). I guess Adam was probably picking for AGRESTIC in round 9? But if he'd have picked a consonant, he could've had GUITARS+S? Nice spot with VERMINATE Adam, and unlucky with UNDERLAIN.
No, an admin has to do it; these are Charlie, Ben, Stewart, Howard, Martin, Jon Corby, Crispy, but... frankly, Crispy looks after front page stuff and generally he's only on for 2 months in the summer. Howard (the backup) is on a detox from the wiki.Gavin Chipper wrote:I know. How is it changed?

Thanks Josh. I probably was thinking of AGRESTIC in R9; can't remember. I was willing the R to come out for VERMINATE; that's why I had it immediately and had a good ol' sip of water just a few seconds into the round.Dan McColm wrote:Was just thinking that.

Adam was miles ahead at that point, so it wouldn't have mattered if Cheryl found the 9.Andy McGurn wrote:Adam would've beaten me on a crucial here. Thing is though, I'd never heard of VERMINATE and it was only when i saw him sitting back and sipping water that I knew there had to be a nine so i put the letters together and came up with something to say and this was VERMINATE
Maybe its better to keep writing and pretending to still be looking otherwise your opponent may get lucky like this.
