That was very much Ali-esque vs Foreman, taking a beating for several rounds before delivering a combination of lethal blows to leave your opponent shell shocked. Brilliant.

My highest 15-round score, but gutted that i blew a chance to beat Kirk's 149 - with 2 stupidly missed words.

Anyone who misses pronated after all these years must have serious mental health issues.

I wonder is Prime's 134 is the highest losing score of all time?

Look, if I was playing dreck like Bevins every day instead of AP, I'd have at least 20 perfect games by now. Possibly as many as 40. It's just the price you pay for swimming with the big fish.

I've had a few 13s and 14s recently, so its coming. As long as Dinos doesn't beat me to it I'll be a happy man.

Bit more like it. Round 7 was galling as I'd nailed it perfectly before the server crash but bottled the replacement round, otherwise this could've been the first game where I scored higher than the supposed maximum.

Thanks to Jojo for being very encouraging when it became obvious that I was possibly headed for a record, even wishing me luck before round 20.

Got told off for putting a near miss in scrag last time!! But this is pretty close to a max speedgoat, I missed BRAVEST, did manage BRAVES in that round though

Sorry, I seem to be frequenting this thread lately, but I'm on a bit of a roll. Here a a couple of nice games I've had today.

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=38723 (15 rounder)

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=38732 (Speedgoat)

Edit: Almost a second perfect Speedgoat within 24 hours, but in round 8 I hastily declared RANKED, having thought for a second that I had UNRANKED and then deciding there was only one N in the selection. After solving the difficult numbers game in the previous round, I can't belive I messed up a possible perfect game in such a dumb way.

Nice one. But, I have to say I can't really work out why people still play Speedgoat, the numbers rounds are just an annoyance and Goatblitz is much better structured. Also no one has got a perfect Goatblitz yet. Maybe there's an Aptochallenge in there...

Personally, I hate conundrums so would rather numbers even if they are speed numbers!

Quite pleased with this, although it's annoying because I had CAMPION but didn't go for it, which I might've done if the max game was on. But it never was, since I didn't know DIGESTIF (which has come up six times now and never been spotted.)

I watched Tuesday's game today (finally uploaded) and Thursday's game, then played the duel, then played a 15 rounder against someone.

I got the conundrum on Tuesday's game, I maxed Thursday's game, I maxed the duel and then I maxed the first 7 rounds of the 15 rounder. 38 consecutive maxes!! I'm so happy - that has to be my record.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:51 am

13 maxes, including getting 1 away on an impossible numbers round (always pleasing) and becoming the first person to spot MARCASITE (thanks Kirk!) in the 8 times it's come up.
