What's flat scoring?

It's a variant on apterous whereby you score points for everything valid you offer, e.g. normal game of Countdown, you offer a 7 and I offer a 6, you're 7-0 up. This new variant, you offer a 7 and I offer a 6, you're 7-6 up. This makes learning obscure words suck as even if you beat me on 5 rounds with obscure words, I get one numbers game right and you don't and I'm winning.

Nice one Ben, with speed numbers you always need a bit of luck but some of those were tough indeed, so kudos!

I played pretty terribly in this game, missing lots of maxes including DEUTERONS (unbelievably - duh) and resorting to declaring names of genitalia in rounds 9 and 11. But round 12 made up for it.

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:41 pm**

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=22551 Not my best speed conundrum attack ever but I like to think round 16 is one of the hottest spots I've ever had.

127 score, with 2 9s and only 10 points off the max score, although it was helped by an easy conundrum

Had a lovely Speed 9 against Eoin which - despite us both being a bit dozy up until round 4 - amazingly turned into the new Speed 9 record! Also, Eoin's must be the highest losing score ever, by some distance.

Sweet, that record has been weak for a while. 87 is decent but 94 would've been really impressive, so Eoin was a little unlucky if anything. Good work both.

Sorry Oliver but I was really happy with this one- two nines. After a poor start, disallowed nine, I got 4 eights and two nines- my best performance to date.

I think I played pretty well in this game. I was particularly happy with ATHETOID, although having my max game spoiled in round 11 was pretty disappointing.

Closest I've come to a max game in Goat...thanks Kirk for going for 4 large in round 14! Actually, it can be done using 937.5, but since I was nowhere near the conundrum I wasn't kicking myself too much.

Yeah well done mate. I had 982 on that last numbers but tried to declare spot on and fudge it. It didn't happen

. Had I had gone 982, it'd have been a draw. Never mind. I felt guilty going 4 large in round 14 seeing you were on for a perfect game and when I'm in that situation I hate it when people do that but I was being selfish and I wanted a shot at winning.

I don't think you should feel guilty. I'd have done the exact same thing (with 6 small though). Incidentally I had 982 too and also failed the fudge, even though I thought it might be doable by 937.5. D'oh!

Posted: **Wed Feb 18, 2009 10:09 pm**

I wouldn't get that conundrum, mind you. Also, you're right that it was a really falt, low scoring game. Possibly the lowest max I've ever seen, apart from games when you choose six small numbers and the target is 997.

Not as bad as this.

Posted: **Sun Feb 22, 2009 6:34 pm**

I'm claiming another max game, despite apterous saying I can't have it. I blatantly spotted the max game too but went for the valid 9 LITREAGES (as LITREAGE is specified as a noun). Annoyingly, apterous disallowed it denying me of another perfect game which it ought to have been. Grrr.
