Official thread of scrag
The much-requested counterpart to the Thread of Brag. Obviously I've never done anything bad so I can't contribute further.

Re: Official thread of scrag
Excellent! I'll soon fill this thread up with examples of my rank incompetence. I was going to kick off with the game I just played - a thrashing from Apterous Caesar - but I realised at the end that he got 13/15 maximums and would've dropped only 2 points had I not beaten him in one round, so maybe it wasn't so bad. Never mind, I'll play some more this afternoon and I'm bound to come up with something

Re: Official thread of scrag
My brilliant one today was a target of 897 with a 100, 9 and 3 in the selection. I typed in 100*9-3 into the box but declared 900 instead of 897. Unsurprisingly, my opponent got it right...
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?
Re: Official thread of scrag
I don't think I played too badly, but here's my worst humbling ever:

Re: Official thread of scrag
Nothing too bad, but in round 13 of this Goatathon game, it was my turn to pick and the selection before picking the last letter was RCSUEINM. I almost ran out of time, before picking A, as I had at the last second remembered the word MANICURES.
I quickly clicked on A and entered MANICURES in the box and then clicked on the "end the round early button"... only to find out that I had typed MAINCURES (which ain't allowed) instead

I agree, but there are some unusual words there, so it makes for good learning, just incase these come up again, especially if it's a crucial conundrum tooCharlie Reams wrote:Wow, that has to be the nastiest set of conundrums I've ever seen.Jimmy wrote:http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=10386

Re: Official thread of scrag
I still haven't managed to beat Apterous Plum, but I noticed today that Caesar is now ranked lower than Plum (although still higher than me) so I optimistically had a go. This was the result.
http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=12501
Beaten in each of the first three rounds by words I'd never heard of. By round 8, as you may surmise, desperation was setting in. At least I got the (pathetically easy) conundrum.

I also often declare PURDIEST (too much reading John Steinbeck when I was little). If you ever find PURDIEST, it means you've also found STUPIDER

Re: Official thread of scrag
Two games worthy of scrag... I think.
My first game was against Kirk and I had two successive word rounds, where I declared words that could not be made with the selections (in other words I saw letters that wern't there).
My second game was against Prune and I couldn't even think of a word for round 3. Luckily though an obscure conundrum ensured me a win and not had to go into a tiebreaker conundrum.

Re: Official thread of scrag
I used to be a teetotaller when I was younger and I could never understand why people drank for. Then, at 16, I drank champagne at a wedding and enjoyed the feeling of being under the influence. It made me happy and wanted to dance (never violent). Then coming to university, I drank on nights out to boost confidence to dance etc and the best nights tend to be the ones where you drink as you have no inhibitions. I don't like people that drink and get violent from it - just don't bother. I also don't understand those that don't touch alcohol for non-medical reasons.Joseph Bolas wrote:It gets harder when you play WaldorfOliver Garner wrote:Definitely not playing unlimited again http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=16032

My point is that considering that you were once someone who not only didn't drink, but also couldn't understand why people did, you should at least still be able to understand why some people don't drink, or do you look on your past with complete bafflement?Kirk Bevins wrote:I'm not with you (again). My post was like a timeline. I didn't understand why people drank but now I've grown up and seen the error of my ways, the story has reversed - why do people stay sober all the time!?Gavin Chipper wrote:Kirk Bevins wrote:I could never understood why people drank for.No middle ground then.I also don't understand those that don't touch alcohol for non-medical reasons.

Re: Official thread of scrag
If you read, it implies I look on my past with complete bafflement. My viewpoint on alcohol was it makes everyone do stupid things and become violent but I was wrong.Gavin Chipper wrote: My point is that considering that you were once someone who not only didn't drink, but also couldn't understand why people did, you should at least still be able to understand why some people don't drink, or do you look on your past with complete bafflement?

Hahaha, I am laughing. (Of course I'm not - I would never do anything like that to a fellow Laddiman )Callum Laddiman wrote:You may laugh if you want cause i just lost 137-111 in a numbers attack against Apterous Prune. My rating unfortunately went down by 30! Very embarrassing!

In fairness Prune is nowhere near as bad at numbers as he is at letters. But keep practising, you'll get there.Callum Laddiman wrote:You may laugh if you want cause i just lost 137-111 in a numbers attack against Apterous Prune. My rating unfortunately went down by 30! Very embarrassing!

I really shouldn't be posting this, but is John Bradley the only person to have 'lost' to The Duellist?

Hell no, not even close. Can't recall specific cases off the top of my head but a few people have blanked entire duels before.Kai Laddiman wrote:I really shouldn't be posting this, but is John Bradley the only person to have 'lost' to The Duellist?

In the old days, though, if you blanked an entire duel it would then throw you up a sudden death conundrum, which would of course count for ten points. So when, one day, the duel was a solitary letters round, many people forfeitted in favour of the guaranteed, and likely superior, ten points.
Only the ten points weren't superior, as the letters round had a niner available.
