I am quite sure every time Apto goes down, Charlie hears about it...
The thread here would serve as yet another pester alarm, and thus surplus to requirements. (Probably the real reason he euthanised it.)

L'oisleatch McGraw

Yes,

He was great, and as Rachel said - that was a match worthy of a Series final.
So many schnakey Apterites appearing on TV lately who use a pseudonym on the site.
Seems to be a new trend for the 2020s.

For me, in order of impressiveness, I'd go 1) Winning anything bigger than a standard CoC on TV (e.g. Supreme C or 30BC) 2) Winning a CoC on Tv 3) Being the player who has spent the most time at the top of the apterous rankings for the past 5 years 4) Winning any Co:Event over 40 players 5) Winning...

L'oisleatch McGraw

Maybe those episodes would be worth a rewatch just to compare properly.
I have noticed Rachel giving the tiniest bit of leeway with nums... but not much. It's pretty consistent.

Very interesting.
I thought SIGNAL was one of the go-to Apps for the alt-right Capitol-stormin' Trumpites.
But I suppose the App isn't to blame for which groups like it.

What elevates SIGNAL above the pack for you?

Originality is for Deeks.

Deek - noun, for use when it is hard to tell if someone is more of a dick or a geek.

I've made that tired old remark several times before... and will probably make it several times again! (What am I like? -I don't know, but it's a bloody good question!)

FOCAL = "Finals Of the Co:event Annual League".
How is that relevant to interviews with people involved with Countdown?
Still a dumb idea to use that name. All it does is muddy the waters.

But, on a positive note, this thread is a nice piece of housekeeping. Very tidy.

L'oisleatch McGraw

Maybe you have a point. Maybe. After all, Carol was really good at it, and seemed like she was going to be impossible to replace, but they did REALLY well in finding someone. If they had to replace Rachel, would lightning strike twice? I am not so sure. The number of times during series finals that ...
