This week I've mostly been lazy and taken the games from the nominations thread. Think I'm going to stick to 5 as a sensible number given the volume of responses so far, unless it happens to be a truly exceptional week.

Innis Carson vs Chris Davies - The only game in this week's poll I actually found for myself in the archive. What a recommendation!

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=22137

Kirk Bevins vs Nick Wainwright - Practically indistinguishable from the previous game really. Popularity contest!

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=22105

Apterous Prune vs Charlie Reams - Charlie reaches the promised land after two arduous weeks of wandering through the desert

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=21081

Jon O'Neill vs Apterous Prime - Fine display from the sage who accurately predicted I would bottle COLIN. I'm talking about Jono btw, Apterous Prime has yet to acquire sentience despite me constantly hurling abuse at it in ingame chat.

Apterous Rex vs Matthew Green - Apterous Rex made a mistake :o Also Matt played reasonably well.

Poll closes Thurs night. Keep up the recommendations, including games from today (haha) and Sunday, which will be in next week's poll.

My game didn't make it. :(

I would say fair enough because it was rather flat but I think Matthew Green would probably hunt me down and kill me like the dog I am.

Hmm, that game is clearly better than, say, Carson/Davies. Maybe Paul missed it.

I only have time to look at a small fraction of the games on apterous. I try and view games that look interesting based on score and game type, but a lot of good ones undoubtedly slip the net. The only surefire way to bring it to my attention is via the recommendations thread, or through a PM.

So no-one recommended that game? That's a bit crap, but does render DO'D's complaint a bit hollow.

IIRC my beating off DoD was only a few minutes after my moment of glory against Rex, hence my lazy performance... still cant believe I didnt play for ADENOSINE....

Very pleased to have won GOTW though!
