Post by Ronan M Higginson »

With Tom Stevenson now on 5 wins, is he able to grab a further 3 victories this week...?

Some current stats:

Total Points - 630 (126 per game average)
Highest Score (of all time as well): 154 vs Lauren Bowley (4th Game)
Lowest Score (not quite of all time ;) ): 117 vs Andy Keeble (5th Game)
9's Achieved: 3/7 (43%)
Total Points/Max/%: 630/694 (91%)
Letters Points/Max/%: 385/444 (87%)
Numbers Points/Max/% 191/200 (96%)
Conundrum Points/Max/% 50/50 (100%)


Octochampdom looking very much in his reach at this rate. Can he keep this up? Find out tomorrow...

Curse you Ronan, I saw this thread and thought I'd overslept and forgot to go to work :lol:
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.

Played again on this one. Don't know if people enjoy this kinda thing but I certainly do.

R1: CHILDIES
R2: CAPTIVE
R3: 277 (50 + 4) * (8 - 3) + 7, felt like a tricky one to me
R4: NORDITE
R5: BUTANE
R6: 163 (75 + 5) * 2 + 2 + 1
R7: LOUDER
R8: ROAMERS
R9: 877 (100 + 5 - 1) * 8 + 50 - 5
R10: SWIPES
R11: TELOGEN
R12: PONTAGES/SEPTAGON
R13: FOREMAN
R14: 328 (50 + 75 - 7 - 4) * 2
R15: Pressed pause at the exact moment Tom's light came on. Don't know how to judge that, but my answer was still OVERSHOOT.[/list]

Got beat by Tom regardless though, 107 - 100 WITH the con and 117 - 97 without it.
Against Steve I won with 113 - 50.

So far Tom's hit an absolute spectrum of maxes throughout his game; 11, 10, 13, 15, 8, 12. Waiting for that 9 max and 14 max game now lol

Tom's scored in every round hasn't he? If so, this outranks (i.e. irrelevantises) the "not lost a round" stat.

Technically, my round winning record should now not be in place, because there was a techy error before the final conundrum. The original scramble was TENSDISCO, but it had not appeared on my monitor, so I put my hand up almost immediately to notify the techy folks. It did then appear but by then, they'had paused and decided to do a new conundrum. Steve had seen the answer but didn't buzz, whereas I didn't see the answer until after they decided to change the conundrum.

No spoilers, but was preparing to pack my bags in tomorrow's game...

That con's a real tough one, so many dead ends for me.

As it's not a game spoiler, I can only presume he gravely insulted one of Colin/Rachel/Susie and was expecting to be thrown off. Looking forward to it!
