Just stuck this on for a few rounds this morning - letters have been top quality from both contestants; GRAPHEME had me beaten all ends up!

THE GotY 2013 POLL HAS NOW CLOSED. Thanks to all those who voted, and once again to those who nominated. Thanks also to Charlie for a couple of weeks of publicity on the apterous home page, which helped to draw in some more voters. I can now reveal the top three games of apterous from 2013! 1) GotY...

Adam Gillard

The end (of the voting period for GotY 2013) is nigh!

Adam Gillard

ONE DAY LEFT - get those votes in!

Adam Gillard

Not long left to vote now - closes this Sunday!

Adam Gillard

A shame to see you go, Bob. You and team Southampton have been thoroughly entertaining and did really well to get to this stage.

Adam Gillard

I am very interested if it continues into the wee hours, as I'd only be able to come along for the night session.

Adam Gillard

About 12 days remaining to vote!

Adam Gillard

I'll have the £572 if you don't want it :p

Bob! *Sob*

I hope you were paying attention when Pax-man described the 'draconian' rules where you have to win twice at this stage.

Go Team SouthBobton!

Adam Gillard

Welcome, Andrew! I think it's impressive that you devote that much time and effort to Countdowning. Check out apterous if you fancy practising among a large pool of former players and general brainboxes. Enjoy the forum!

Nominations for GotY 2013 have now closed. A big thank you to everyone who sent me their nominations. Please refer to the new thread for GotY 2013 voting.

Adam Gillard

For me, there are a few striking things about this year's nominees. - The final 11 are shared between 8 different human players and no human player has more than 2 games in the poll. - None of the top 18 games from nominations were human vs human. - Two of the final 11 didn't make the top 3 in GotW ...

Adam Gillard

Feel free to openly discuss the nominees (or, indeed, the games that didn't make it to the final poll) in this thread if it takes your fancy. Also let me know if you have any questions or early ideas for improvement for the next GotY poll.

Adam Gillard

Hello apteforumpeoples! Nominations for GotY 2013 have now closed. A big thank you to everyone who sent me their nominations. In total, there were 143 nominations comprising 75 different games, which exceeds the total from last year - hooray! Now we move on to the voting phase. Whereas nominating wa...

Adam Gillard

Last chance to submit nominations - closes tonight at 11.59pm!

Adam Gillard

Nominations close TOMORROW NIGHT! What better way to spend your weekend than trawling through a year's worth of games on apterous? Seriously, any ideas?

Adam Gillard

3 days now! Get nominating!

Adam Gillard

4 days to go!

Adam Gillard

6 days to go! Get those nominations in - even a single nomination could make all the difference!

Adam Gillard

Well played Michael, tough to come up against a 5-time winner and you really gave him a run for his money! He was class on that conundrum - not much you could have done about that. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the experience!

Adam Gillard

Nom nom nom nom nom!

Adam Gillard

Very impressive stuff again, Bob and team! Looked like you were enjoying yourselves there!

Adam Gillard

About 2 weeks left to send in your nominations!

Adam Gillard

Still a few weeks left to nominate. Remember that you can always send through a handful of nominations initially and then some more when you find the time to look through more games.

Coincidence of timing. I had been referring to something Dennis Taylor had just said on the telly, ironically.

Hi Kirk,

Pertinent information to this issue seems to be collected here: http://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=2174

Fred clearly meant 'ironic' in the sense where it is synonymous with 'ferrous'.

Yeah caught a bit of his intro just now on 4+1 - seems like a cool dude!

Adam Gillard

Remember that you can nominate any number of games up to and including 25. So if you only have one or two games to nominate, please do send the nominations in - it could make all the difference!

None of the games in the current GotW vote took place in 2013, so I will open the nominations now. Rules for the nominations are in the original post in this thread.

Just noticed that the greatest film of all time is on Film 4 now. It's a measure of its greatness that it warrants a New Year's Day slot. It starts again at 12 on Film 4+1 if you want to see the whole glorious thing from the beginning.

Adam Gillard

I'm not being sarcastic, Andy. Did you even watch Abdi on the show? I can't believe you think he has no personality, unless you just watched his conundrum buzzes or something. He oozes an effervescent personality and enjoyment of just being there.

This is very exciting! Could there be another Worsley on the famous trophy?

Susie Dent was on Richard Madeley's Radio 2 show about 12-12.30pm today and they did lots of anagrams and talking about Countdown and stuff.

I see c4c is alive and kicking again!

Well done to Michael and the Board Gamers for an excellent series and a great final. Congratulations also to Pete and the Bakers for an excellent series and a great final. I've given you both the same accolade because I am unimaginative and there was hardly anything to choose between the two teams a...

Adam Gillard

Surprised there have been no votes for Chris Wills - great personality too.

Adam Gillard

Are people being serious about Abdi? lol Can't speak for anyone else, but Im serious. I think he was the most standout personality on Coundown in 2013 Are you sure we're talking about the same person? I don't think Abdi and personality really go in the same sentence without the presence of the word...

Yes, private message or aptomail, please. A reminder that nominations will not open until mid-January, after the final GotW results for 2013 have been confirmed.

Dale Levell vs Joe Harrison in the final?

That was so good! I want to talk about Dylan first. Dylan, you've been brilliant throughout this series and blew the competition away en route to the all-time record octototal, which will be very tough to beat! I've really enjoyed watching you (almost as much as Rachel Riley has) and this final was ...

Adam Gillard

Alternate for TTT1: A. GILLARD Another high-quality match, a bit of to-ing and fro-ing to start with, but Callum was that bit stronger in the end. Very well done to Glen for a magnificent series and a truly monumental octototal to start the trend of monumental octototals in this series. Great fun at...

Adam Gillard

Well done Dylan for making it to the final. You were up against a very strong opponent in this one and really had to be on good form to make it through. Bradley, you played another excellent game and ran Dylan very close - well done! Deserving semi-finalist and unlucky to have to meet the number 1 s...

Adam Gillard

Well done Bradley, very strong performance there! Alex, you also played well, which made it a high-scoring contest! Well done on making it to the series finals and for portraying yourself at the end there as an accountant who likes to partaaaay. I'm looking forward to watching your semi-final Bradle...

Adam Gillard

Very impressive performance, Glen. ESTUFAS was excellent and certainly had me beat. Jonathan, I'll be honest and say this is the first of your shows I've seen, but what I can say is someone came up to me today and said how impressed they were with your performances on Countdown. Well done on making ...

Adam Gillard

What a game! What tension! Double ton! Great conundrum from Damian. Jen! Callum! Aargh! Amazing! I first want to say that Jen is awesome and was so good throughout her Countdowning, this game being no exception. Jen, you are a legend and there's no shame in losing to Callum, or indeed with yet anoth...

Adam Gillard

Was that 14-10 in maxes? And if so, is that a record for a regular series? Unbelievable standard from both of you, and unlucky Dylan to miss out on the max game. Gemma, you played very well and can certainly hold your head high. Dylan, you lived up to my very high expectations of you as well! Shame ...

Adam Gillard

Rachel totally had the hots for Dylan earlier in the series. What we all really want to know is if this went any further at the finals.
