Starting from next Sunday I'll be running a weekly poll to determine the best game from the previous week. I'll be ferretting around in the apterous archive and thread of brag to find worthy games, but I can't possibly cover everything, so if you know of a particularly noteworthy game either PM or email me. Games of all types will be considered, from regulation 15 rounders to 3-second hypernumbers attacks, and the winning games will be memorialised in an archive on the main apterous site.

Woo!

Shame you're starting from next week. This epic game would have been a worthy first winner.

*chortle*snort*

Some solid scoring there...

I'd like to nominate

As conundrum attacks go, this is about as good as it gets.

Thanks Junaid, that's a stormer.

Everyone else, we have 5 excellent games in a variety of disciplines so far, but please keep the recommendations coming! They don't necessarily have to be super high quality like the above: maybe they feature a great comeback or the lead changing hands many times, or a couple of really unusual spots.

I've been having some absolutely awesome speed games with Corby. This is by far the best speed game I've been involved in. Ever.

I thought about nominating this too, but I didn't know if it would come across how exciting it was... every round maxed bar the conundrum, and only 5 rounds tied meaning NINE max winners, including a fairly "rare" niner each. Quality. And well done for being victorious

You guys are good enough to be playing GoatBlitz at a standard where it is best enjoyed. I suggest you do this instead of wasting your time with boring old gay Countdown!

That was my only reason for posting to be honest, didnt really care much about all that other stuff you said. Once again for those who missed it, I BEAT CORBY!!!!

And now for a victory dance...

Kirk has recently been added to my (very short) list of 'very good' people I have beaten (even though it was Unlimited, I'm still claiming it).

That's great and everything, but you beat him at a game which is basically not Countdown. Maybe you should try beating him at darts, I heard he's crap at that.

Brilliant idea.

Ah, nice one Charlie, you reminded me that darts was on and I'd forgotten to stick it on. Cheers.
