Re: Spoilers for Wednesday September 26th 2012 (Series 67 #3
No.. It was because they ask u for the numbers and make u wait before u actually reply. Okay, that's new. It probably also explains why my numbers pick in my game against Ed had to be redone about five times. Come to think of it, Nick did say I was "like a greyhound coming out of the blocks&qu...

Unlucky there Jessica. You didn't actually play badly, but Liam's a strong player who's been watching the show longer than you've been alive, so I don't think there's too much shame in losing to him. All the talk beforehand about your Scrabble awards and whatnot must have put a lot of pressure on, w...

Ouch. Terribly unlucky game, especially considering that had she stuck with ADULATE she'd have won. Definitely. Rosie showed herself to be a very good player, she just got a few judgement calls wrong. Question for the statspeoples: How many non-octochamp series winners have there been, and when was...

Re: Spoilers For Monday September 24th 2012
I'm back from holiday so I can do today's if Jack can't.
But if I do today's then who does it next week? Am I just covering for Jack or is it my turn proper?
I'm probably overthinking this a little.

Re: Is Apterous down?
The website is up but the game appears to be down. I'm trying to log in but I just get the ascending numbers of doom.
Edit: it's up again. I thought it was going to get to 500. I've always wondered what happens when it does that.
