Is this an item request?

Obviously.

A-lol at 'Coffee milk cup lid collector' being one word in Dutch.

Kai Laddiman

Only 1 game went unplayed:

Tom Rowell vs Ryan Taylor

Again, this is temporarily 0-0. Tom, where are you?

Round 4 pairings are available here (scroll down to see the current standings).

Kai Laddiman

Maybe Charlie has taken it down?

Kai Laddiman

On a related note, I'm currently trying to make an offline recap writer. However, I am appalling at VB and am doing it all manually, which is both strenuous and tedious. Is anyone with VB skillz willing to help a little?

Only two games missing:

Jon O'Neill vs Dinos Sfyris
Tom Rowell vs Ryan Taylor

I have a question: did you guess which name I used on that form?

Kai Laddiman

You two aren't playing each other until Round 7...

But thanks anyway.

Kai Laddiman

Hmm, I would really like to come along, but a little daunted by the level everyone else is. Can a relative newbie come along?? Sure, don't worry about it. When I went for my first time I found that everyone was really friendly and helpful, and it doesn't really matter what ability level you are, as...

Just a little request: could the Nines Offered page in Superstats have counts for each section?

Kai Laddiman

One game went unplayed from last week:

Ben Hunter vs Tom Rowell

This will be a 0-0 draw until they play.

The pairings for this week are here.

There must some way to program this to work out a possible selection, but as my avatar says, I'm not your man.

5/10? Sure it means something.

That's kind of irrelevant when you just said

A good contest though.

Kai Laddiman

How much research did you do? If you're going to do something like that, at least spend a bit of time getting facts. Hargreaves is spelt wrong for a start and how did Jon O'Neill lose so early on - he's quality now. I think you should redo it, checking out all their games and work out what percenta...

Kai Laddiman

Hmmm, interesting. There are arguments for both:

Carol - she's in Mensa with me

Rachel - she's so much more friendly

But I think my winner is:

Rachel - because RB2 voted for Carol

If you're going to post such a link don't spoil it and put the winner in the thread title.

Sounds good. Hopefully bottom of B wouldn't mind.

Kai Laddiman

22 rounds? That's insane!

Also spotted Stewart Holden's missus ranking high in that group.

Kai Laddiman

What happens after the groups? Whoever's top of each division wins, unless you want something else. I wasn't sure if there was a knockout involving both groups, or whatever. Secondary group winner seems a bit, well, secondary. Not that I expect to keep winning. Actually that's a good idea. Maybe th...

The items tab on the in-game window doesn't have a scroll bar, so when you get past 10 rounds with items you can't see them.

Adam Gillard - Ryan Taylor. That had an air of inevitability about it.

Haha. I can assure you these pairings are completely random.

Just a little query: it would be interesting to see how many times someone has been 14 points ahead in a game and lost it. It's happened a lot in my games, like here and here.

I'm going to have 2 divisions of 7 or 8 with Division A consisting of the 7 or 8 highest rated entrants and Division B consisting of the other entrants. The games will then be played on a round robin basis, so everyone in the group plays everyone. Each round will last a week. I'm going to play too, ...

LIMONENES should be in I think, as dictionary.com says "a liquid terpene, C 40 H 16 , occurring in two optically different forms" which implies there are two LIMONENES.

Kai Laddiman

I disagree.

I think more could be made of the Nasty variant. Maybe, in letters rounds, you only need at least 1 consonant and 1 vowel. And I think it should become an official format (together with Nastynums and Nastycons).

Burn milk, making animal garment (4) SPOILER: TOGA? Not sure why there is a comma there but a milk making animal is a GOAT, burning it means make an anagram, so TOGA, which is a garment. Yeh nice one, it was a false comma. Sorry for the synonymic anagram. Timbers where you should find sheep? (7)
