Re: Your best apterous word to date?
It's only a 7-letter word, but I was quite pleased with the pencil I earned for WACKOES.
Mind you, some credit is due to Barry Evans who had beaten me with DILDOES (so to speak) a couple of days previously. Without that, I would never have thought to pluralise my word with -ES rather than -S!

I'd nominate this as the all-time winner, even if it was a conundrum.

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
Just an idle wondering … I can't be the only one that wonders...Why 'apterous?' Charlie, you obviously know it means possessing the power of flight, I may be a bit thick but I don’t see the connection apart from an uncharacteristic romantic notion of getting the whole thing off the ground (which makes me think more albatross than apterous)
Just curious

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
I'm not certain but IIRC from one of the podcasts Charlie was just going for a nice common frequency Countdown word and Apterous fits the bill nicely. Wasn't it going to be called Netdown or something before?Maxine Silkstone wrote:Just an idle wondering … I can't be the only one that wonders...Why 'apterous?'

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
Yes the original post on the news pieces says it changed from Netdown to Apterous. How disappointing I was hoping for a much more interesting story than that.

Sorry to disappoint Maybe one day Charlie will tell you the real story behind the name, where he trekked to darkest Africa, saught out the holy prophets, slew a basilisk, saved fair maiden and was rewarded with ancient treasures and scantily clad concubines.Maxine Silkstone wrote:I was hoping for a much more interesting story than that.

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
I like your suggestion, but the reality is rather simpler. Jono and I were discussing what to name it and we liked the way Tilefish (a site that sells Scrabble gear) had a name that was completely unique, when almost everything else to do with Scrabble has some kind of Word-related pun in the name (On Words, The Last Word, Word Wars, etc), but at the same time the name has a certain significance within the game; TILEFISH is a valid word in Scrabble, and also there is the phrase "fishing for a tile" which means making a one-letter play in the hope of drawing a particular letter that goes well with the others on the rack. So we were mooting names that had a similar significance, like LEOTARD and TANGELO, but obviously anything common like that already has its domain name taken, and I wasn't going to pay hundreds of pounds to buy leotard.net off someone else. So we started thinking of more esoteric offerings, and Jono recalled his favourite word from his own appearances, which was none other than APTEROUS. I liked it straight away, and checked that apterous.net was available, which it was. Then I stupidly didn't register it immediately and, by the time I got round to paying for it a few days later, some scumbags had picked it up. We considered changing the name but we liked it too much, so we ended up getting apterous.org instead, even though .org is supposed to be for charities (although the idea of actually making money out of it didn't occur to me until considerably later.) So now you know.Maxine Silkstone wrote:Just an idle wondering … I can't be the only one that wonders...Why 'apterous?'

I tried writing a Brief History of Apterous once before but it was pretty dull, maybe now you can see why...

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
I don't think there was much motivation for that at all. Damian invented the idea and Jono and I ran with it; at some point it needed a name and I just started calling it Goatdown. I'd like to say it was some witty pun but that would require some revisionist historiography and my apto-dictatorship hasn't quite reached that point yet.Phil Reynolds wrote: Thanks Charlie.

Best Apterous word so far

Didn't think much of it as you can imagine the set of letters that spawned it, but apparently according to superstats it's an original! I feel so clever now!

But doesn't apterous mean notpossessing the power of flight, given it is a description of insects being without wings?

Definitely OSTRACIZE when beating the legendary Innis Carson in this match I had today. http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=101621
A close second is probably ARBROEAL when I beat Chris Maudsley immediately after that. http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=101626
EDIT: If I seem so happy, it's because I am

I got SHEDLOADS a short while ago, though I've not been playing for long of course.
I also spotted WORMINESS in the same match but bottled out of declaring it and got a Chicken instead. Harumph.

PUNJABIS, which I typed in but didn't go for, thinking it would be capitalised.
Lucky that it was only eight letters or I would have earned another chicken.
One that I did get was YARMULKE.

Not especially great or obscure or anything, but I was pleased with this one because I'm usually terrible at spotting the compoundy stuff. And it's a pretty cool word, I suppose.

The game itself was part brag (11/12 letters maxes) and part frustration (bitches of conundrums preventing a record) so I'll just stick with this awesome word- pencil-worthy, naturally- as my new all-time fave.

Re: Your best apterous word to date?
Might not be my best word, but pretty pleased with RIBBONFISH because I got it on its one and only appearance (as a max) to date. There are a few I'd like to get that would be awesome though, have missed out on GARRYOWEN a few times and there are a couple of 11s (12s when pluralised) that I want to get too, but I won't mention them in case Bayfield steals them.
