I just beat apterous rex to a conundrum in 0.1 seconds

First max Touchdown 9

Probably my best max game yet

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 8243510880

I wonder if there'll ever be a breakaway unofficial 3rd party thread of brag?

Perfect picking! Yay!

First attempt at the junior goatdown 15 gave me a max game with loads of 7s. May be a hard record to beat? What it shows you whilst playing (but doesn't show you on the review) is the metamax for this game is 109 so I messed up 1 point.

Could you define perfect picking? I'm confused as you missed the max in two consecutive rounds.

The max = metamax.

A long time in the making. My first max game http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=116700

Almost had a heart attack when I nearly left ESOTERIC mistyped as my keyboard was playing up! So I decided to take my time typing in the conundrum but luckily it was the easiest scramble in history. Ever.

Not the hardest ever, but, I'll take it.

Well done Dinos, I didnt look at the numbers, but you certainly pulled out some great words in the letters rounds! Great performance.

Deeply satisfying.

Also, perfect max=metamax J.G. 15

Pretty rubbish until the nice little comeback at the end.

I'm glad you said that because me and a few of the others were just saying how some of your max games were actually pretty shit.

Fitting round 13 word.

I dare say that my being second in the rankings after Innis won't last long now that I've made it known, but I decided to play a few games using the French dictionary version.

http://www.apterous.org/allplayers.php?variant=0&dic=2

Although, not being fluent, I only get mainly 4 or 5 letter words, with sometimes 6, and less frequently 7, since there are only 3 other players apart from Prune (and I've been playing Prune!), I'm second (out of 5!).

I was rather please to get a conundrum once, although it was rather a guess. Means SLIDE apparently.

That's pretty cool, maybe I'll give it a try. I'm amused that Martin Gardner is ranked #3 despite being a fluent speaker and rather an expert in French Scrabble (using the same dictionary).

The statistics are rather skewed, I suppose, because there are only a few games played.
If more people play, I dare say that Martin will excel.

Hypertouch can be very sexy at times.

Part of me didn't wanna post this cos it might rub it into him, but the other part of me thought, the fact that I'm posting this shows that I think he's amazing.
I beat Dinos Sfyris
http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=118293
Not only that but we declared the same thing in 7 rounds so I'd like to think my train of thought is one with a master's.

Haha cheers for that although I reckon you'll probably manage to put quite a few victories past me as you're not too bad yourself, particularly at 4 large

I wonder if that's more or less tragic and pointless than this. I reckon we're about tied.

Ha. You guys are such attention seekers!

Wow, that record actually is unbeatable; impressive. Mine and Ben's record is certainly beatable, but it's probably only worth breaking if someone is really going to raise the bar to a new level, and post a score of around 650. I'm actually hoping that this will become a new sport on Apterous, a subsidiary activity almost as popular as playing the normal game. It requires discipline, focus, and patience, mental endurance; a willingness to keep going, to keep pushing at the task even when it seems pointless and tedious, which it is. It also encourages mutual respect and team co-operation between opponents. I'm hoping that eventually a Usain Bolt will come along and just really decimate the previous records and bring the game into new areas which were previously unimaginable.

The game that held the previous tie-break record is hilarious: http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=23318

No offence to Tom (I did check before making this comment; he hasn't played since June) but I love the way you can just imagine Nude taking a big breath, sighing, and then going "fiiiiiine" before it finally decides to answer one and put him out of his misery.

I don't often come first.

BTW well done, that's a seriously impressive statistic.

Innis!"

Not a patch on Bevins, Travers, Howe, Carson, Davies et al but probably my best.

Lovely game mate and a quick conundrum spot to boot.

Well done mate.

Yeah, it's prune, but I'm still quite proud of this one- http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=123100

That was mint! I don't know what you're on, but can I have some?

Awesome. Max=Metamax AND you smashed the high score record. Nice going mate.

Wow, excellent job!

What's so impressive about beating Prune? He didn't even have any allowed words. Rubbish.

I know what you mean Michael, I cant think of any human player on apterous who would miss ISPAGHUL, apart from Innis.

I think he may have been taking the piss bro. (Also that's his excuse any time he says something stupid.)

Nice work Innis, 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the high scores. I think the new super-friendly Prune should help topple quite a few of the Goatdown records.

Charlie Reams wrote:Nice work Innis, 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the high scores.

I was just browsing the joint highest score...

Deleted. Not really as brag-worthy as I first thought.

I extended my winning run against Corby with this performance. Also my first max game for a while.

Richard Brittain wrote:I extended my winning run against Corby with this performance. Also my first max game for a while.

Hahaha. A 2 round max game. Nice one.

Not sure if I'm quite getting into the spirit of this thread, but given that my rating is a mere 852 at present, I was rather pleased with THIS GAME

as at the end of round 7 I was still in the lead. An unfortunate incorrectly declared 9 in round 8 was my undoing, but I was still rather chuffed at doing so well against one of the greats.

1% chance of winning! Screw you eye of apterous.

Very narrowly took the Touchdown 15 record, I'm sure this is still beatable.

http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=125756

EDIT: Also the highest joint score by some way.

I do believe that there game marks the award of the first ever holy rex.

New hypergoat 15 record with a vengeance

Beat that Eadie!

Apologies to Chris, as he was obviously having an off-day, but here's something I never thought would happen...
