Aptominibash II [this Sunday]

[Charlie Reams]

There will be an Aptominibash at 8pm today (Sunday 26 April). Format is Conundrum Attack (30 second rounds). Everyone will play 5 games. This tournament is intended to be fun rather than highly competetive, since the focus is on testing the system ready for the full Aptobash, so feel free to enter even if you're rubbish at conundrums like me.

The 16 places are now taken. However it's likely that at least a few people will fail to turn up, so if you'd like to play then just hang around on Apterous at 8pm and there's a chance I can draft you in at the last moment.

Entrants:

• Arnot, Stuart
• Beevers, Craig
• Bentley, Jim
• Bevins, Kirk
• Carson, Innis
• Feist, Andrew
• Garner, Oliver
• Gough, Jimmy
• Green, Matthew
• Higgs, Aaron
• Hulme, Andrew
• Laddiman, Kai
• O'Dowd, Daniel
• Sfyris, Dinos
• Wallace, Michael
• Wilson, Ben

[Stuart Arnot]

I'd like to play.

[Innis Carson]

So would I.

[Eoin Monaghan]

I'll more than likely be on, but won't play, as my siters will probably pester me to get on the computer.

[Charlie Reams]

I'll more than likely be on, but won't play, as my siters will probably pester me to get on the computer.

Tell them there's a cash prize and you'll buy them all ponies if you win. This always worked on my sister.

[Kai Laddiman]

I'll more than likely be on, but won't play, as my siters will probably pester me to get on the computer.

Tell them there's a cash prize and you'll buy them all ponies if you win. This always worked on my sister.

Only cos you never won anything.

Hmm, I'm not sure they're that gullible.

[Kai Laddiman]

[Michael Wallace]

I am utterly rubbish at conundrums, but it should be a laugh anyway.

(if you quote the first 4 words of this then you suck)

[Andrew Feist]

I should be awake enough to type by then, so I'll give it a go.

[Daniel O'Dowd]

I'm in!

[JimBentley]

Aye, but I'll drop back out if sixteen others want to play.

[Jimmy Gough]

Yes, I'd like to play please and since everybody's going out nobody will be pestering me for the computer.

[Kirk Bevins]

Yes please.

[Ben Wilson]

Yeah, count me in.

[Oliver Garner]

Can I play?

[Charlie Reams]

Can I play?

Sure can.

[Craig Beevers]

I'll play, will try and set an alarm or something, just remind me on MSN if I'm not there.

[Aaron Higgs]

I'll play

[Dinos Sfyris]

Sure I'll give it a go

[Andrew Hulme]

In if theres space... sounds like fun!

[Matthew Green]

Put me down if theres still space- despite my appalling conundrum ability.

[Matthew Green]

Sorry, cant continue. its crashed my CPU twice and now I cant even log in.

[Craig Beevers]

Thanks for organising it - was a lot of fun. It doesn't matter particularly but the scoreline in my last game has the 2 & 6 the wrong way round, doesn't change the positions at all.

[Gavin Chipper]

I presume Jeffrey Hansford won this?

[Charlie Reams]

Final standings (Hansford omitted.)

[Kirk Bevins]

It's a shame I never got to play Beevers but a +600 spread is fucking awesome. Well done, Craig.

[Innis Carson]

Well done indeed to Craig. As if it isn't high enough as it is, his spread actually becomes +680 when you factor in the mistype in the last game scores.

[JimBentley]

Cheers for the Bash, Charlie, was excellent fun despite it being my most hated of formats, the format of the conundrum format. As far as a server test goes, everything was fine my end except in the game against Craig where we had to resume a few times within the first five rounds due to repeated freezes. After that it was fine (I think the final fifteen rounds of this game took about a minute in all, even with my occasional interjections of "fucking hell!" and suchlike in the chat, due to Craig's mad fast conundrum skillz).

And speaking of Craig, serious congratulations on an amazing display. It's the (usually) breathtaking speed that's so amazing, it's genuinely something that I can't comprehend.
