Someone on the internet has predicted (not particularly accurately IMHO) what would happen in a Supreme Championship (Series 34-61)
http://challonge.com/scc10

I actually thought of an idea of a Supreme Championship 2, but with Damian seeming reluctant to do CoC XIV at the moment, I seriously doubt we'll have a Supreme Championship 2. It does seem a nice thought though.

Although, whoever this guy is, he seems to have thought this through quite a bit, but I think a lot of people on here might not necessarily agree with the results.

I lost to somebody I've never heard of, after beating somebody I've never heard of. Probably pretty accurate.

My run's a bit fucking generous! Can't see me beating either my first or third opponents quite so easily.

I would pay to watch the Brittain vs Hansford match up.

Had the same reaction; I think Damian should do it as a special.

A player who amused many viewers despite his problematic mental illness, versus Jeffrey Hansford. Yep, I'd watch that.

Possibly the funniest post I've read on this forum!

Yeah man, who is this Terry Knowles eh?

At least they got the seedings right if nothing else

I'm not sure if this is sarcastic or what, but I have no idea who he is. That's not meant to be disrespectful, I just didn't really start watching Countdown regularly until Des Lynam took over. I only know about guys like Julian Fell because my dad told me.

How? I still hadn't heard of him. I haven't heard of him anymore after reading that link than I did by seeing his name paired up with mine in the Supreme Championship in the first place.

Ha! No sarcasm intended, I haven't a clue and haven't read his wiki page yet. I also only started watching Countdown when Des Lynam was host so as such never remember any editions with Richard Whiteley.

Who the fuck's this Jon Corby anyway?

...is probably the conversation in the Knowles household between Terry and Beyonce as they stumble across that page too.

I got thumped by someone I've never heard of, and I've been watching for over ten years.

It almost pains me to give likes to a direct competitor in the thanks list hehe but this is fucking great.

Seems like it was this guy: http://wiki.apterous.org/User:JohnnyCanuck

He also has far too much time on his hands: This includes every fictional game and fictional word in the future. To think someone actually spent time making some rounds up and scores etc....

This has got to be Larsen-related in some way, surely? All the contestants are American gameshow hosts.

I wondered this, yeah.

I wonder, are these just copies of actual games from the archives with the names changed?

Nope, no one has ever offered CHRISTMAS (and the selection isn't valid anyway).

Yeah, everyone knows the world is going to end on 21st December 2012.

And a lot of the words aren't actually words, e.g ANHUNGRY^ is one suggestion from DC.

Wow this is all mind blowing! (And I have no idea what is going on)

It will be by 2012. In fact, you've just doubled its usage... it's well on the way.

There's another guy doing the same thing, except it's with F1 drivers. He goes by the name of The Doctor - I could find a link if anyone wants. In fact JohnnyCanuck admitted to getting the idea of this fictional US series from The Doctor's F1 series.
My first thoughts revolved around Larsen too.

We love Countdown.

Come on, Dmitry, what are you waiting for.

"I used to play on Apterous as Raymond Benjamin, but my trial ran out and I can't be bothered to sub." But apparently he can be bothered to fabricate a complete series of Formula 1 Countdown.

Charlie Reams wrote:But apparently he can be bothered to fabricate a complete series of Formula 1 Countdown.

When I first read Howard's post further up, I assumed he meant somebody (completely away from apterous/wiki) fabricating (or 'predicting') future F1 races/seasons, which I could sort of see people bothering to spend the time doing if they're into the sport. At no point did my brain consider that it might have been someone fabricating episodes of Countdown between F1 drivers.

Utterly bizarre, but also strangely charming, especially the way the episodes have a story line (there's a real twist near the end!!) as well meticulously detailed game recaps, complete with invalid conundrums.

Haha, this actually made me flick through it. Spoilers: I read 'roped' as 'raped'.

Just come across this thread and I gotta say its hilarious. Who's designed this? must be Gevin surely? Love to see SC2 but resigned to the fact its highly unlikely. Presumably the seedings are done by Octochamp aggregates and converted 9 round aggregates.

Pete Cashmore was just before my time but heard of him, I probably would have beaten him when at my peak. That said I'd never have beaten Craig when at my best. I started watching in 1998 and Terry Knowles was the first Octochamp I remember seeing - I know he was really high scoring and think at the time had the second highest aggregate over 8 games.

Seriously though, brilliant stuff - does anyone want to enlighten me why there's a reluctance over another C of C? and what could and would replace it??

Horse racing.

Watching a bunch of 20-something males take it very seriously (e.g. by refusing to make a SEAMAN joke) for three weeks just doesn't please the masses, supposedly.

After having to set 21 conundrums for a 49-round game, you'd probably go off in a huff too.

20-something. Oh yeah baby
