They're invariably unfunny. I'ev never read a funny response, and their responses are invariably trying to be funny.

Annoying them is fun. So try their patience.

Jon O'Neill

Mugabe and Michael Rosen are both excellent suggestions.

Jon O'Neill

Just for the record, The Straight Dope is an awesome thing, and I suggest everybody follows in my footsteps and reads every article ever.

Jon O'Neill

Football is cool and if you don't agree then I'm gonna flush your head in the toilet, alright?

Jon O'Neill

Fucking nerds.

4 for definite, and after that, only informed guesses. I'll give you a proper total when the answers come out.

Caroline is actually valid, I seem to remember. Is it a cake? Don't think its pluralisable though.

Which leaves: C D E N W

Jon O'Neill

Yay, well done!

Jon O'Neill

I'm not planning to start until a couple of weeks after the COMA has finished. I'll make some posts about it when COMA is done with.

Jon O'Neill

Yep.

Oh well!

Jon O'Neill

Nah it's statistically insignificant because it doesn't mean anything. An invalid could score 150 and Conor could score 75 in two consecutive games without either being spectacularly good or bad. It is especially insignificant given that a word disallowed will usually change what 'band' your score i...

Jon O'Neill

Also, the data for the chart has almost no statistical significance.

Oh well.

Jon O'Neill

I think people should have to send their passport to Charlie for verification.

Jon O'Neill

Could make the recap writers mods of one big forum and ask them to merge in the spoiler threads when they post their recaps?

Jon O'Neill

Also you wouldn't get any votes. It's quite a tough field, don't you know.

Jon O'Neill

So let's say, hypothetically, that the series winner didn't want the dictionaries and would rather have a cash equivalent.. what value could you realistically put on the dictionaries? They retail at £4k but thats nowhere near realistic. I guess it would be the price C4 pays Oxford to get them. But t...

Jon O'Neill

Awesome.

So at the current rate, how long will it be before this place overtakes the previous place in number of posts? (Remember to factor in the rate of posts at the mailing list as well, it's not static!)

Jon O'Neill

I can't decide who my favourite Jason is: Jason Donovan or Jason Larsen.

HELP!

Jon O'Neill

For more about Alfred Butts, read Word Freak. It's really good.

Oh, that's good.

It was a great game alright!

Jason Larsen wrote:Oh, my!

Did this game ever give me a cardiac, or what?

David deserved to win that game.

Oh jeeze mate, you had a cardiac? Are you okay??

Jon O'Neill

Well, relevance is a subjective thing. I enjoy Larsen posts far more than I enjoy Bolas posts, but the next person might be the complete opposite, so I respect that.

Lighten up.

This is, without doubt, the best joke so far on the forum!

Jon O'Neill

If you're going by what they were like when they were on the show I fail to see on what basis you could place Conor as high as 2nd. I don't think you could point to a patch of games and say he was particularly exceptional there. He won easily the most competitive series of recent times. Give a matc...

Jon O'Neill

I think the criticism has been unfair. I think the current pace of solutions trickling in is perfect. If it was too hard, more than half would be left; if the words are any more well-known then someone who is a natural anagrammer could solve them all in one swoop, as has more or less happened before...

Jon O'Neill

They build the level themselves. It's actually rather clever, a bit like playing God.

Except the level-builders actually exist.

Jon O'Neill

No problemo. This doesn't seem like a bad thread to start though, so carry on posting here if you want entry. I think I should be able to conduct all communication through the boards. I'll give it a few weeks though before the start to let COOT finish and give everyone who hasn't played online befor...

Yawn.

Jeffrey Hansford is the best ever.

Settled.

Jon O'Neill

Hahaha, Corby, facet is not welcome on this thread.

Jon O'Neill

Get off my toes sunshine, COOT IV is soon and I'm organising it. Well, that's what was arranged, anyway. As there is no CO-politics I can't stop you from running your own tournament simultaneously.

If that's the case, I'm in. Otherwise, I'm sure we can work out some sort of joint-custody settlement.

Jon O'Neill

I think that how cool you look when you get a good word outweighs how stupid you look when you make shit up.

I had ten words disallowed on the show

My attempts at reducing possible the most boring discussion on any forum anywhere ad absurdum failed; I shall therefore resort even lower, and post something vaguely interesting.

Enjoy.

I quite enjoy playing the cheats. In my ISC experience, the people who cheat are the same people who are easily wound up. A lot of the time I only really played on ISC to wind up the idiots with a short fuse, so trash-talking to someone who is cheating, then beating them, made me feel jolly big inde...

I scoffed on my Smartie at this point.

I liked Lynam best for the same reason. If an oldie was getting smashed, he didn't try and make it sound like they still had a chance. Which I enjoyed.

There's the James Martin who did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XQo6PwS358 That's the one Corby referred to.

Must've been about 30. Quite a funny guy as I recall.

Jon O'Neill

It means don't play in freerolls. And if you do and get beat by someone shit, don't be downhearted, because if you take that badly then when it's actual money you're playing for, you won't be able to handle it.

Jon O'Neill

I eat it the homo way

Jon O'Neill

Is DO'D drunk again?

Anyway, there's a feature on here to ignore him, so do that.

Jon O'Neill

I agree completely, and there have been many many situations (and a few altercations) where it has been abused. Not for cheating, but it's still wrong. Decide before you start, hosts, especially in such an important game.

Jon O'Neill

Is he joking I just can't tell.

Jon O'Neill

In a word, no. He got drunk, arrested and turned up at 6pm the next recording day, asleep on the couches at reception.

Jon O'Neill

Random, then de-uglified. They sort through and remove anything that's too bunched up to make it all a bit nicer.

Jon O'Neill

Hahaha, I agree. But not enough to stop me from wanting to win.

Cheers for that guys, I missed it first time around.

And happy birthday Ben!!

Ok the new game is here. The last person to post, wins!

Just thought I'd pay my tuppence worth in here. I've been bitten by the bug a couple of times and I'm quite a weak player.. not strong enough to make money over time. My finest achievement was winning £400 on my birthday from a £10 stake. My lowest point was buying £25 of chips at the Gutshot club i...
