After a few days of playing nothing but Unlimited 15, I finally got a game I was satisfied with. 12 maxes, and two opportunities to abuse REASSESSES with REPOSSESSES thrown in for good measure.

Hyper Numbers Attack record, take 2.
Can imagine this would've been well over 180 if it'd been 45s but I'm still happy with this for now.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Hahahaha, very nice!
I'm convinced that a 100% Hyper Numbers Attack is well within both of us. My last attempt (a disappointing 164) should really have been 191 if I'd been fractionally quicker in a couple of rounds, and not accidentally declared about 3000 away on another round
It's only a matter of time, I'm sure.

Dunno whether this is a brag or a scrag. Got two nines and some obscure (by my standards) words on lightning goat, but lost my cool in the middle rounds, which stopped me from getting a killer score.

Definitely my most commanding Duel win ever; 16 rounds, 37 entrants and only one person beat me in any round (Corby with MESOSAUR.) I would say I had a lucky run but that would be against the spirit of the thread, wouldn't it?

I was on for a max game after eight rounds. Naturally, as I mentioned this to my dad (who didn't care), it began to fall away a bit. But still, it's my best score yet.

First century since I came out the dark ages, and a 10/15 max game, which is my best I think. Can't believe the maxes I missed (BAYONETS, SOLDIERS and RAINOUT, also I've been meaning to catch APERITIF for a while), most players here would have scored a perfect game with the set of letters I got.

Me earlier today: 100, 50 , 8, 5, 3, 1 -- Target 667
50*5*8 = 2000
2000 + 1 = 2001
2001/3 = 667
Not very often you go up to 2000 when there are only two large numbers.
