Thanks for your detailed bug report, I'll be sure to fix this.Paul Howe wrote:Right, we're currently at 1-1, the third game got eaten by apterous and I've been trying unsuccessfully for half on hour to start a new one. Patience has run out, so we'll have to finish some other time.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Specifically, Ben didn't seem to receive my challenges, nor I his. The first two games were fine but in game 3 the lag rendered things close to unplayable, it hung at the end of two different rounds forcing a CTRL-ALT-DEL, after the second of these the game was gone.
Apologies if it sounded snarky as I know you're working to improve things, but I just assumed they were similar to the general difficulties people are having playing apterous atm. For me its near impossible to play when 10+ games are in progress.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
It's been over a week since the semi was aborted at the 3rd leg stage. Get your fingers out guys, Junaid's already asked me if we can just forget the final... ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Paul Howe, can you play this weekend, say Sunday evening?

I can, let it be done. I'll try to be online at 8 if that suits.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Paul Howe, can you play this weekend, say Sunday evening?

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Er...Paul Howe didn't turn up ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
I'm tied up the next few days but can probably do Thursday evening, or next weekend.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Sorry mate, our power's been down all evening and only just come back on
If it's not tempting fate next Sunday at 8 would probably be the best time for me.

Thanks Junaid for an excellent battle, especially for the ridiculously sporting offer of adding 7 points onto my score when I mistyped DIURNAL (which I bashfully declined).

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Yeah, well played Paul Howe. A worthy winner. I'm naturally gutted as I had 2 real chances to clinch it. Game 5 was a non event for me after round 1 (yes, I considered ordinance). Ah, well. I superceded my expectations in the tourny and final by a long way. And I'm still unbeaten on numbers in tournament play. Bring on CONOT!!!
Thanks to Ben for organising and Paul Howe for a great final (if not the highest quality).

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Congratulations to Paul for winning the tournament for the second year in a row, and commiserations to Junaid- still, as you say, CONOT is just 6 days away and all will be to play for there...
Incidentally this is the first 'long-running' tournament played exclusively on Apterous- surely that's got to be worth a special item of some sort, Charlie?![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
