No more ‘sedations’ x https://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=6223

That’s twice in a row now she ruled it invalid each time a contestant noted it (regardless whether they declare 8 or 9). https://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_5425 Sedation is clearly not countable in common sense.

I wondered about this. Furthermore, it felt like there ought to be a falseagram, but it seems there isn't.

SEDATIONS is still accepted by tcsquared. I'm not sure how this is maintained.

I think tcsquared is linked up to some sort of Lexplorer software, and afaik Sedations is valid on Apto, hence why tcsquared lists it as valid...

Some of us use this at Lincoln-style* Co-events. It does have its limitations - there's no audible alarm option, and it can't solve numbers games. But when I eventually get round to writing an Android version of my solver, the latter'll be less of an issue.

*I'm sure it was called Edinburgh-style, but it seems to have been renamed to Lincoln-style in recent times.
