Leicester and Nottingham aren't in the north; they're in the midlands.

Lincoln's the only northern one I can think of.

Anything higher than Kent is northern.

Kai Laddiman

CO-events are all up north. Bring on CoBrig!

Should be kept, as it is a pretty awesome typo.

(Apologies for the delay.) The final divisional results: http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/2812/standingsm.png Congrats to Innis and, er, me, for winning the divisions. It's a shame that a few games went unplayed, but I guess Goatblitz has declined in popularity since its unveiling. Thanks everyone...

Kai Laddiman

Kai, well done on hosting the tournament. I also think it went well. However, I was under the impression that Division A and B were going to play each other. Volante suggested it and you replied: "Actually that's a good idea. Maybe the winner of A plays the winner of B, runner-up of A plays ru...

Kai Laddiman

In hindsight I think there should have been fewer rounds, as everyone's interest dwindled towards the end. I'll give you a 1-0 win for that one Ian.

Yep, fraud so.

Freudian slip? Or should i say FRAUDIAN slip?

Seeing as the remaining games don't look like they're going to be played, I'll post the results on Sunday. Sorry about my poor hosting skillz, but I hope everyone's enjoyed Goatblitz 2010

When browsing Duel games, I often wonder who won that Duel, where the person whose game I'm viewing came, and stuff like that. I thought it would be cool to have a link to the relevant Duel on the game page.

Kai Laddiman

Oh yeh, forgot it's only available to full aptomembers. Sorry!

Agreed. Best thing I ever did (well one of the best) was to hand over Monday recaps to you, Ryan.
You guyyyyyys, you're making me blush.

His recaps suck, he doesn't even use Statistics Corner.

Kai Laddiman

Interesting idea, I think with a bit of tweaking it could work. Just wondered about this:

Ben Wilson wrote:Prune should score -30 points every round, for example

I'd always thought Prune declares nothing as soon as the round starts.

Kai Laddiman

I don't Like frustration.

Kai Laddiman 101 - 66 Ben Hunter

The better of the two games, the match was much closer than the scoreline suggests.

Kai Laddiman 83 - 67 Ben Hunter

Nice pencil for Ben in R14.

Wrong Jack?

Awesome!

I have. Not sure if Kai has scored them yet though.

Yeh I've got it, which kind of explains its omission from the list of unplayed games.

Being the first person to do the duel at 10 to 7, I was somewhat shocked, and when it reset itself, instead of taking advantage of the situation, I reported it to Charlie immediately.

Sounds similar to the Gold Bug criteria !!

Kai Laddiman

It's getting exciting... These games are still unplayed, so could you please play them soon: Eoin Monaghan vs Jon O'Neill Jim Bentley vs Tom Rowell Jon O'Neill vs Jack Hurst Here is the current leaderboard: http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1856/54686796.png This last round's pairings are up here ....

Not a practical request, just a little feature which would be cool: a Random Word button on Lexplorer which finds a random word in the selected dictionary.

In Greek, typing letters into the Note box displays the letters but does not recognise them as letters. The only way of inputting words is by clicking on the letters. Is this deliberate?

Just waiting for Jono vs Jack and Ollie vs Dinos.

Head-to-head has disappeared. Otherwise, awesome toolbar!

Kai Laddiman

Everyone seems to have forgotten about this

No-one has played in Division A (that I know of) and Adam and Ian are yet to play in Division B.

I think I'll give another week for this round.

Substitution of an umlauted vowel with the natural vowel +E is only acceptable in German spelling in typefaces where Umlauts are not available. So whilst you will occasionally see spellings like LOEWE in various places, they would be frowned upon in normal German writing. Hence they are not valid i...

Kai Laddiman

I can't find (or remember) the umlaut debate, but why was it decided that umlauts can't be expanded into the umalauted vowel + E? For example, LOEWE (lion) is a common German word.

How about "Q: What common four letter English word" has 10 syllables?

My password stopped working when I just tried to log in so just had to reset it. Probably due to the upgrade but I don't know if I was the only one affected.

No doubt I'm being thick, but me no understand.

Ask Corby, I'm sure he'll explain. Just mention the name Pauline and he's ranting his head off.

Grrr, I set this to sticky for 7 days, but oh well.

Still two games to go:

Eoin Monaghan vs Jon O'Neill
Ryan Taylor vs Ben Hunter

Sorry about the lack of notice.

That's the second time I've seen that Eoin has missed the chance to have EIRE spelt out as the first four letters of a round.
