Probably my most schizophrenic game ever. Fantastic nines (including a fantastic pick by yours truly in round 2), surprising omissions from the ODE in rounds 4 and 12, and my keyboard going completely to pot in round 9 followed by frustration taking over in round 10 (especially seeing as 0.1 seconds afterwards, I solved the damn thing).

Wow, a 12-max game scoring just 93. Ouch.

Posted: **Sun May 17, 2009 5:04 pm**

yeah, i misclicked the easy second numbers. That's kind of a relief now, because ARMOIRE is one I never see. If i'd messed up a max game on the last letters, that would have hurt more.

Huge lead, cut back, big lead again, pwned on relatively sedate numbers. Odd and enthralling!

Strange because Josh played extremely well - well above what would be expected by someone with his rating. Getting both nines was superb play from someone rated just above 1000.

Particularly rounds 5 and 6. I typed C for CONQUEROR in round 5 and realised it was RECONQUER so pressed space bar to hide my suggestion. I told Innis about my retardedness and then in the very next round out popped CONQUEROR. Amazing.

A few other conundrums I missed due to fat fingers and carelessness too.

That's insane. It would've been ten times funnier if you'd started typing RECONQUER the second time. OH WELL!

One of the quickest ever conundrum spots in round 1. Well, actually, not true: Innis' incorrect suggestion after 0.8 seconds was shown before I could type my answer in so I have no idea how it counted it as 0.2 seconds as it was more like 1.2 seconds.

If it wasn't for fucking DIABOLO I was going to say how funny it was that the only two maximums I miss are when I get MORON and IDIOT.

Anyone know an IDIOT ALBINO MORON?

4 TBs required to decide this very close game.

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2009 5:13 pm**

I found this game interesting because about 75% of the conundrums were very difficult which doesn't normally happen.

Or am I exaggerating?

Ouch, yes. It is pretty much uniformly random right now so I think you were just unlucky.

Nice lag you have there, with a few of the conundrums being around the 5 second mark.

From a 3 to a 9. Could this be the biggest margin in points scoring in consecutive rounds? Particularly interesting since Dale had a 2!

A great game, with me and James finding 5 of the 9 darrens between us. Then we both blob on an easy conundrum.

A new record the the lowest max in a 15 rounder, 99 points.
