Staying with the usual low bar of 'classic' around here:

2018-04-30 22:15:38 Ian Volante got it first. You have 0.0 seconds left.
2018-04-30 22:15:38 Time's up and Ian Volante was the only person to get it, solving it in 60.0 seconds and receiving 18 bonus points. The answer to RIPEMIL was IMPERIL.

That time that Jason had a surreal racist outburst in Aptochat and was banned for two months.

Nothing good lies therein.

We can only hope so.

The reaction to people finding out today's duel is Dutch Speed Stepdown Letters Attack was quite something.

Geel lekker!

My, how quickly we forget!

Not aptochat, but this ticket deserves an honorable mention

https://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=5094

Please don't use this thread for anything other than signalling that there is a classic moment in Aptochat. There is an ability to create a new thread and all other problems can be flagged there.

Me neither, James!

Best-of-9 round robin will all the bots...What could possibly go wrong?

(Thank Andy SC for this mayhem )

I couldn't believe it either!

Not my doing actually, I only set up two games, Andy created the mayhem!

But it may've been responsible for the bizarre duel today allowing me to pencil 'A'

Oh my gosh!

There was one I had a while back, which I deeply wish I had screenshotted, with Wallace as the guest.
