Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
I think I am playing Michael first and then you and Corby are afterwards at about 9 pm. Does that suit you, Martin?

for those fortunate enough not to see my game against David, all you need to know is that I was awesome, whereas he cheated and only won because he bribed Conor

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
The masters are now known! Playing in the first COMA will be:
Chris Wills
Conor Travers
Jon O'Neill
Paul Howe
Mark Tournoff
Meaning some more play-off action will be required. Charlie, tell the assembled masses how we shall get 3 entrants from 4 first-round winners, please.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
I *was* wondering why Paul Howe is in there since he's the only one that isn't a Series champion. Obviously he's a brilliant player, but Tom Hargreaves who was a Series runner up and me and Corby who were semi-finalists were made to qualify (I lost by the way by about 20 points). Perhaps it should work the other way, Paul should qualify as well? Nothing personal of course, just stating the facts.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
Even though it looks like I am to be subjected to yet ANOTHER round of qualifying I should point out that the master places were probably offered on the basis of online rating and/or televisual performance. Currently Mr Howe is ranked fourth, Corby is ranked 23rd and I am ranked 40th.
Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
Jono isn't a series champion either. Unless he managed to get CONCIERGE in the 'uncut' edition.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
As D'O'D said, online ranking also plays a part- it's no coincidence the 5 invitees are currently ranked 1st-5th in the rankings. Ironically, the 3 who declined their invitations are well outside the top 10, and one isn't even ranked at all. :-/ Mr. Howe's performance in the c of c was another factor in sealing his invitation.Martin Gardner wrote:I *was* wondering why Paul Howe is in there since he's the only one that isn't a Series champion.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
Fair enough I have no problem with that. I didn't think of it in fact.
As for last night's game, I believe the final score was 61-37 as Jon beat me with GRAPIER in round 1, the first numbers and MISCAST in round 6 where I offered MASTIC and didn't realise that it wasn't a mass noun (it's both a substance which is a mass noun and a plant which is not).
There was some controversy over the conundrum for which Jon offered CHILLBLAIN and it's spelt CHILBLAIN. I think Jon refused the 10 points and DOD listed the final score as 61-47, although I didn't actually solve the conundrum so I don't want the points either.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
I have to apologise for that debacle last night, Martin, but fortunately the game had been decided. My eyesight is a little buggered and Corby's answer looked right. At least the result of the match had already been decided otherwise it could have been a predicament.Martin Gardner wrote:Fair enough I have no problem with that. I didn't think of it in fact.

To be honest, on the show you only verbally give the word not type it, so personally I think CHILLBLAIN should have been accepted as an answer (after all, we all know how easy it is to make typographical errors)

I was wondering the same with my conundrum (DYSTOPIAN) - I had a brief panic before answering as to whether it was spelt DISTOPYAN (yeah yeah, it looks stupid when you write it down...) - although I presume that had I given that by mistake, we would have had more fun and games...

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
To be honest having not played Countdown online for a few years now, the hardest thing is visualising the letters and numbers. It also helps on the real show that you can hear the clock music - that way you always know how much time you have left.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
So the results in:
David O'Donnell bt Michael Wallace
Tom Hargreaves bt Charlie Reams
Jon Corby bt Martin Gardner
Still to come:
Kirk Bevins to play Ben Pugh
As we now have only three slots available, two of the four winners will have the misfortune to face each other in another knockout. Drawn again by Mr Wilson, they are...
...
David O'Donnell vs Jon Corby!
Yes, it's a unfair, but that's what you get for not being in a CoC yet. If you could get your game played by the midnight Friday, I'll be most enamoured. Of course if Kirk and Ben fail to play by Friday then I'll give the place over to the losing player.
Good work so far chaps, all running smoothly.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
Nah, it wasn't a typo and I actually typed CHILLBAIN, so while I was heading in the right direction I undoubtedly (and embarrassingly) got the word wrong. Luckily, as David said, it was immaterial. Also, while Martin didn't answer, he didn't really get the chance as everyone thought the game was over, so presumably he thought the correct word had been typed, and therefore it's not much of a stretch of the imagination to assume that had mine been rejected (as it should have been) he would have examined why and offered the correct answer.Kirk Bevins wrote:To be honest, on the show you only verbally give the word not type it, so personally I think CHILLBLAIN should have been accepted as an answer (after all, we all know how easy it is to make typographical errors)
But, like, whatever.
Are you free at all tonight Dave? I'm playing football but should be available at about 2100/2130 - any volunteers to host too please?
Edit: Actually tomorrow night would be much better, as my missus is probably going out - I could still do tonight but I'll get less of an ear-bending tomorrow...

Interesting draw!
Tom, is it possible for us to play on either Sunday or Tuesday evening? Any time after 7 suits me, but if you can't do those days I think'll it'll have to wait till the week after next.

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
I have learnt my lesson on that one Reams. Only one that isn't being played this week is Mark vs. Ben- if the two of you could play either Wednesday or Friday it'd be handy, as that was we can get the best-of-3 semi-finals started next week.
Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
Friday would be best for me as I've got an essay to write on Wednesday, although I can play then if absolutely necessary.
Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
I have a slight problem here.
This is the first time I've used Messenger on this laptop and every time I sign in it's OK for a couple of minutes but then it signs me out and closes the program
Anyone know how I can fix this? I've been trying for the last 15 minutes and nothing obvious seems to work. If I can't get it fixed I'll borrow somone else's laptop for tonight's game but obviously I'd rather not have to do that.
EDIT: I think I've fixed this now. Fingers crossed!

Re: COMA- The Countdown Online Masters competition
If either Mark or Ben are unavailable it seems a shame to forfeit the game. As Ben suggested one of the Wild Cards could fill in. I reckon DOD would be a strong contender and deserves another shot after having the misfortune to be drawn against Corby in a 2nd KO round. That said Mark and Ben may still yet play each other.
