And today's weird nicknames are Edward "I Have Blood On My Apterous Avatar" McCullagh and Mary "I Have A Goose Run" Adie. (Sorry Gavin if this throws you off again)

Jordan F

For the record, my style of nicknames for these two would be Adam "I Have A Yamaka" Gillard and Andy "I Have The Gift Of Foreshadowing Female Semi-Finalists" McGurn.

Since James is on holiday, we have what may be the first ever spoiler thread from the States here. It's the final week of the series, and today is the third quarter final, where we have the number 3 seed Tom "I Have A Beard"(unless he shaved between his original taping and this one) Barnes...

Jordan F

Assuming it's not some kind of spoiler to say so, Graham Hill couldn't make it. So we're going to see Michelle Nevitt in the finals? Not necessarily. This thing with Graham makes things interesting in that, at least for now, the finals are NOT set. It is entirely possible that Liam Herringshaw coul...

It's that time again, the finalists are set, and the speculation begins. So who'll take it? Note that this poll is based on the assumption that all 8 were able to make the tapings. If that ends up not being the case, I'll edit the poll as necessary. EDIT: As you'll see below in the thread, informati...

Apologies for me having not being here in awhile, although this is also related to what I'm about to say. I'm going to have to postpone the tournament. I'm graduating from I suppose what you would call university very soon, and I figured the workload would hike up, but it hiked up much more than I e...

Jordan F

Think I'm going to go back to the free-for all to make sure people have enough time as possible. As I said, my goal is mainly to have everybody play everybody, and if that's easier in the free-for-all, then that's what I"m going to do. If that's the case, I think I might also extend the time of...

Jordan F

Here's a tentative plan with the organization, it will be somewhat group based, but not entirely since I do wish for everybody to play everybody. This may change between now and the actual start of the tournament, and feel free to give feedback. I'll divide people into 7 groups. (No way it'll be mor...

Jordan F

Couple things. *I think there's already enough people attending that I know I want to extend the period of matches to two weeks. So the matches will take place from the 16th to the 30th. *I'm still working on talking to Charlie about making it automatic. *What would you prefer: Just simply saying th...

The former.

Jordan F

Hi, It seems to me we haven't had a Numbers based tournament in awhile, so I figured, why not make one? The format I have in mind is what I call an "all-around" format in Standard. What I mean by this is that all of the possible numbers formats will appear at least once, and in sequence. T...

Jordan F

...I'm going blind, apparently.

Yes, yes they should. *sigh*

Jordan F

Hints for the others, hopefully these are vague enough so that they won't give them away entirely.

2. Think of 1, in a sense.
3. Music plays a big role.
4. 1525, or is it 1510?

Jordan F

Joseph and Kai are both right. Still 3 sequences left to solve.

Jordan F

Fun little game I think. I'll give a sequence of numbers. You tell me the next number in the sequence, not necessarily the reason why. Get all 5 right, I'll explain the rationale, and you can post some more sequences. A hint: At least one of my sequences has nothing to do with maths. 1. 3, 3, 5, 4, ...

Sort of a question about Dictionary Corner guests, and I suppose to some extent Susie. Are there certain guests that you know give legitimate words more than others, or inversely receive all of their words from the headpiece? And is there a way to tell which words are actually Susie's? I'm getting c...

Jordan F

Something I don't think people have noticed but might be worth adding to the recap (if I'm wrong, let me know), but Dave is actually an Apterite.

Jordan F

Yeah, I'll take the blame for this not working as well as I would have liked it to. Didn't bump it enough and I probably did put it in a bad time. I'd like to think it's a good idea, I just didn't run it very well. Another time, perhaps, but we'll still let this one run in case that there's a rush o...

Jordan F

And we are at the day. (Apologies for not doing additional bumps, silly old real life and academia issues) Small tournament of 5 people, but what appears to be a solid field. The bracket is as follows, using Random.org as a guide. Preliminary Round: Game 1: Nick Boldock v. Kai Laddiman Round of 4: G...

Jordan F

Giving this a bump, a week and a half or so to go with sign ups.

Jordan F

I don't know if this has been brought up already, and I apologize if it has been, but in the scoresheets for Goatdown, is it possible to show what the needed letter was for Metamax, or what word would be the metamax word?

Jordan F

Very well. Taking all of that into account, I'll go ahead and change the date of this tournament, with it now taking place on Midnight on January 8th to Midnight January 9th. I'll change the original post as well to account for that change. Kai, if this change affects your availability, let me know.

Jordan F

4. The tournament will run from midnight UK time on January 4th to midnight UK time January 5th. Is this date definitely right, Jordan? That's the first Wednesday of the New Year, which seems a rather odd choice - loads of potential entrants will be back at work by then (me included) and unable to ...

Jordan F

EDIT: Date has changed from 4th-5th to 8th-9th Hi everyone, I'd like to propose a 24 hour tournament. The logistics would be very simple, single elimination, 15 round standard format, with the catch being that all games must be completed within 24 hours. Rules (I'll add additions and clarifications ...

Well, it was enough in 59 and 60 without needing to do a score tiebreak, and a good enough score did it in 61, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Hopefully back on track,

Some sort of variant where you would get bonus points for using rare letters, like Q and X? Depending on how many bonus points that'd be, may make for interesting choices too if there's a longer word not using them but a shorter word that does.

Jordan F

Hopefully title speaks for itself.

On my end, probably Richard just because of the sheer amount of time he was on the show compared to the other three, though I think Jeff may be getting up there.

Jordan F

Me and Chris played each other in both The Open and the U1400. The way we were thinking is that the first two games I list are part of the Open and the third game is part of the U1400, if you want to do something else Andrew, go ahead.

That's true. Skype came to mind because that's what I have, but any one could work.

Jordan F

I thought lately about possibly doing some games on Skype. Could just be casual games, a full Skype tournament if enough people were interested. If enough people were interested it could also have people fill in the role of dictionary corner, co-host, etc with a live active audience. If enough peopl...

Yeah. When your opponent gets sealstone and osmunda as part of their first two rounds in one game, you know you're in trouble.

AFAIK it's no different from any other autism test in that respect. Well, the other sort of "tests" that I'm thinking of, which is what I think happened with me (I'm too young to remember), involve some sort of expert or doctor related to the subject and witnessing your behavior directly ...

Jordan F

As someone with autism, my issue with this is that in tests like these I've taken, many of these questions, I could have 5 different answers depending on my mood or whether I've changed in time, and they tend to not really target the quirks that I know don't change in me and I know tend to distinct ...
