Unbelievable. Well played! That's also got to be the nearest to the metamax that anyone's ever scored.

Yes indeed, beating this long-standing record holder.

I know it was only a 9 round Junior game, and that he gave me a thrashing straight afterwards, but I was still pleased with this scalp:

Aww...FUCK. I mean, nice one Ben! Awesome work.

I was all set to have an onslaught on Hyper Numbers tonight, but now...meh, too late. When did Caesar suddenly get so good at it, though?

I know it won't be too long until this "Junior" high score is surpassed, but for the time being........

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=67104

Had I not been so quick to guess the conundrum (seeing as Velvet seems to get them in 0.7 secs most of the time), it should have been more, but it will do for the time being!!

:D

My second highest score ever, though I can't figure how it didn't tell me I got a Benjamin. Not sure if it's registered. As if I care :D Slightly frustrated about my last pick in r12, missing a potential 8.

I don't mean to brag unnecessarily. But I just played my two greatest games almost.

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=67963

Two nines, after a scraggy start.

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=67976

I somehow raced in to a huge lead, was pegged back, and pulled it out.

SCALP :D

Definately a huge scalp for me, considering its the only win I've got against him in 76 attempts! I thought the only way I could ever beat him was if we got to the conundrum with me ahead and he did'nt get it....

Yes It Is

Pretty sweet unlimited 51 rounder. The first 8 rounds were all maxes and then it went a bit downhill from there...
Anyway, getting 385 out of 455 is pretty good.

Ouch, had Innis gone for NORTENOS instead of NORTENO he'd have won. Losing with 12 maxes must hurt.

Ooh and official thread of brag lol - great place to submit my 50th post :mrgreen:

Finally registered and played it last weekend and got 20 odd games under my belt. No max scores but a win against Nebagram, a double one against Jim Bentley, beating Jimmy Gough and trying Goatdown for the 1st time and winning a few (Goatdown is awesome!) plus a narrow defeat against Junaid.

Seriously addictive stuff Apterous, with a naff PC I can't play on it - think I need a new hard drive so you probably won't see me on it till I'm next at my folks which will probably be in a couple of months.

There might be one or two others, but probably only Charlie can confirm that. Don't think two humans have come any closer to 1 or 2 off the max yet though.

Actually Andrew Hulme and I managed to get the max once, it's in this topic somewhere.

It doesn't compare to the standard of the top players round here, but I was well pleased with this standard 15-rounder, where I had to pull out a personal best 12 maxes just to make certain of beating a seriously in-form Plum. I wasn't expecting Plum to play quite as solidly as that?!

If I hadn't got the (relatively easy) conundrum so quickly, I could've been beaten with 11 maxes...

...I know it's only junior, but even so, my first "Rex on a Stick" took me 35 attempts.

As there was no way I could solve the conundrum in less than Rex's normal time of 0.7 seconds, I had adopted the tactic of randomly clicking the middle letter as soon as it appeared... and on this occasion, I finally got the correct letter.

And while I'm bragging...
