4 disallowed words in a row is not the best start to the game.

(and yes, I know it's spelt COLLIERS, but I had nothing else)

Looks okay to me mate, a good few maxes and everyone has some disallowed words occasionally.

Might seem odd to post a 12-max game in Scrag, but this could easily have been a max game in more expert hands.

I got that with the first thing I tried. But I would almost certainly have missed SNOOZER and some others.

Tough but hardly brain-shattering. Most of the maxes were quality enough to have kept it out of scrag I'd have thought.

I think this just illustrates that maxes are a very weak metric for quality.

First game I play in 2 weeks, and I collapse in the third half. I'm pleased with the words I did see, I'm just disappointed I missed some sitters, though I was nowhere near on the niner.

Posted: **Tue Mar 17, 2009 1:33 pm**

ARRRRGGGH I had BIPODS down...but in my head thought of a tripod standing up, and figured a "BIPOD" would probably just fall over... and so there'd be no point in there being such a thing!

Yeah good point, what stops if falling over? Still this is definitely not SCRAG.

Spotted JINXED too late and mistyped it, and missed a really easy numbers game (saw the solution just after declaring one away). And I just couldn't solve the conundrum as I thought it was 'occupancy', not 'occupance'.

Yep, good numbers but the letter rounds were pretty poor from both of us.

Edit: Although, 92 is quite good for me.

You had some good spots, VAMPIRE and SHACKED I thought were quite nice. I'm not sure when the last game where I got zero letters maxes was, but I then managed the same feat in my next game.

It's almost enough to make one want to give up Countdown!

Look at the words missed by me here. Yet I still somehow contrived to get 91. What a max too!

Damian will surely be fast tracking me past the auditions and straight into series 61 after witnessing this performance.

To get AURAS, but not AURORAS; to get NUISANCE, but not NUISANCES; to spot WHOOPSIE and WHOOPERS, yet risk neither. This is scrag.

Posted: **Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:41 am**

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=45735

A pretty bad game anyway (how do I go from 13 maxes yesterday to 3 today?), but round 13, in particular, makes my blood boil.

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2009 1:25 pm**

Second consecutive century may not seem like scrag, but my seemingly continued willingness to offer spurious nines based around ration is highly scragular. Totally not candles!

Posted: **Sat Apr 11, 2009 3:31 pm**

Yessss.

That's what I get for typing so quickly I mix up the letters. It happens sometimes at work too; I'll be typing a sequence of shortcuts and they'll maff up, but we've got new keyboards now which are impossible to type quickly on. Thankfully I don't have to use them here! Srsly though, I'm really pleased with how much I'm improving that that game I posted earlier is scrag, a little while ago it'd have been brag.

Why are you playing Goatdown if you have an audition in 8 days?

Because I find when I play speed round (normal or goat), it makes normal 30 second games seem easier.

Cheers guys. I shall keep plugging away! Now if Countdown was 15 rounds of numbers games, I'd be confident of doing well!

Lots and lots of letter practice required for me

I was going to suggest that 'singing' was a euphemism, but then I checked the game and you've made all the jokes yourself - she gave you an ERECTION and then everything went downhill.

Haha v funny :p

To be fair to Emma I'd never heard of BIRLINN, BIPHASIC or CENTRIOLE (surprising the latter as its very high freq letters) so I wouldn't have gotten them.

Grrrrrr this is as close a topic as I could find for this but.......

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=52905

Saw the conundrum straight away, but mistyped DISCUSSED as DISCUSSES

Why the hell are S and D next to each other on the keyboard?? This was clearly a major issue waiting to unfurl itself >:

Anyways, apologies for my incessant ranting. I'm at the limit of self-containment
