Re: Is Apterous down?
Another Kountdown challenge. 4 letters rounds of 3 vowels, 4 of 4 vowels, and 3 of 5 vowels. As determined by random.org, one 4 large numbers, one 2 large numbers, and one 6 small numbers, and conundrum made by me. According to Kountdown, maximum score is 120, of course I'm not sure if every max that Kountdown has is accurate, but we'll see.

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.

Re: Is Apterous down?
I just randomly picked some numbers for a number game, and turned out with a single solution puzzle. See if you guys can see it.
3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 1. Target = 623
Have fun

R15: N O A P T I R U S (conundrum)
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.

Johnny 116, and yes it was Jason. He mentioned it on Monday, and it's on his google+ page.

Still down for me, although Charlie did mention it might take longer for some people - anyone else still not able to get in?

I got into the home page for a while, but couldn't load the applet. Now I can't get into the site at all, since about 10pm.

I got into the site this morning (didn't try to play) but can't any more. Some people must have played at some point today though because there were duel positions for the day.
