I almost managed to play Oliver the other day, then my Internet died. Do you want to set a date & time?

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Ouch, unlucky Charlie, the conundrum is a sodder and no mistake.
Jon, if you could let me know what dates you're available, I'll contact Mark and organise a time.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
I'm fairly flexible (in that I should be able to make 20 minutes to play) but any time really between about 2030-2200 any weeknight is perfect. Cheers.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Any word from Tournoff yet?
Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
For some reason he is communicating through Neb rather than direct with me. I'm hoping to play him very soon, as apparently he's a complete noob to apterous and therefore should suffer the usual lost points due to getting used to it all.Dinos Sfyris wrote:Any word from Tournoff yet?

When are you free for the first game, Oliver? I'm busy for the next few days but Thursday afternoon/evening, Friday daytime/early evening or Saturday afternoon would be ok for me.

Mark beat me 87-77 (which was actually the score before the "tie-break" conundrum as Mark lost 10 points due to computer problems in the first numbers round. Well done Mark!

Oliver - yes Friday at around 6pm should be fine, and I guess we may as well do the 2/3 in one go.

Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Thanks for the game Jon, and especially for sportingly acknowledging the problem in the numbers game. Maybe I just hit the wrong key -or failed to hit the right key! Soon after that the dialogue box ceased to register my comments, at least as far as I was concerned. Did you receive any of them? If so didn't get anything you sent in reply.
It's all a bit bewildering at the moment.

Well done Mark...when would you like to play the QF? I can do pretty much any evening. Friday or Saturday would be particularly good.
Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
No worries. The numbers game was easy enough that it seemed unlikely you wouldn't have got it, but even if it had been more complex you are definitely somebody whose word I would trust completely on such mattersMark Tournoff wrote:Thanks for the game Jon, and especially for sportingly acknowledging the problem in the numbers game.

Mark
I was typing plenty of comments too, and assumed chat was just broken your end (I'm sure I've had it plenty of times before where my opponent has been able to see my comments, but not respond - I assumed that was the case here, but I guess not!) The only important bit was that I obviously wasn't going to buzz for the "tie-break" conundrum.

Not heard back from Lord Pugh yet. Will buzz him again, but personally I think he's too busy pissing himself scared at the way I dispatched the Kirkulator. Will have to hurry up though. Tenerife in one weekBen Wilson wrote:Any update on when qfs will be played?

I'm a bit concerned though that there's no-one left in the tournament with the letters 'er' at or towards the end of their surnames. My record against such players in this tournament has been very good

Unlucky Mark, particularly the first game which didn't get the conundrum it deserved. Incidentally Mark got the final numbers in the 2nd game but mistyped, so he really got 102.

We're trying to play this, but apterous seems pretty buggered atm.
Re: Countdown Online Masters 2009
Right, we're currently at 1-1, the third game got eaten by apterous and I've been trying unsuccessfully for half on hour to start a new one. Patience has run out, so we'll have to finish some other time.
