The odds are, let's be honest, stacked against him, but a score of 35+ would put him above Pouvanen Pillay in the seedings and in with a very good chance of a deserved place in the finals

HEAVIED. New, premium only, or just a mistake?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Absolutely wonderful game, Ronan. Pulled in some great words and honestly a very impressive score despite a disallowed word.


Also the way Rachel says bagels is gonna haunt me, I'm sorry I've just never heard anyone say it like that.

Does Jonathan have the lowest standard deviation in his heat scores ever? At least among those who have played at least let's say four.

EDIT: And excluding his 57...

Thanks all, very tough debut game. Jonathan was excellent and very deserving of a place in the finals. Really hard conundrum as well but pleased I just about got there.
