GOTW 8-14 Mar: TWO VOTE SPECIAL EDITION!!
Its been a bumper week in apterousland, so much so that I've found it impossible to winnow it down to 5 games. So, as an experiment, you get to vote for your TWO favourite games from this wider than normal selection. Enjoy!
Hulme v Sfyris - The fact that Dinos was one round away from perfection and it still came down to a crucial conundrum testifies to the superb quality of this speedgoat.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34042
Gough v Hurrell - More speedgoating awesomeness, something of a theme for the week. Two rapidfire goatundrums were required to separate the players in this one
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34180
Prime v Eadie - It looks like a goat, but it isn't! The man who invented the best form of the game seems strangely reluctant to play it, but if your regular games are as good as this, why bother!
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=33640
Denniss v Prune - This is an Unlimited record for Joe. Picking up maxes in this format is rather trickier than Joe makes it look, something I should know after repeatedly losing to a six-year-old
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=33167
Howe v Prime - New speedgoat record, huzzah! I may have tainted it slightly be getting a 3 disallowed in one round, but its still pretty tidy. Fecking STYRAXES.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34349
Gough v Davies - Yet more high scoring, hair trigger speedgoat. Have I died and gone to heaven?
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34802
Velvet v Green - Matthew tells me this is a hypernumbers attack record, despite its suspicious nonappearance in the records page. It is rather good though, I'll give him that.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=34923
Hulme v Gough - While not as high scoring as the other featured speedgoats, Lazarus himself would have been chuffed with the comeback Andrew pulled off in the last 3 rounds
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=33535
Howe v Prune - Is there a better test of raw countdowning prowess than the hypergoatundrum attack? According to my careful research, which consisted of me looking at the records page and discovering the holder was this, the answer is no.

These are ridiculously good. I think that about four of these would've won in any other week.

Ah, well its nice to know I'm getting killed by someone who's only 15 years my junior and not 19. I can take it though, I'm used to losing to little people.Kai Laddiman wrote:He's 10Paul Howe wrote:I should know after repeatedly losing to a six-year-old

In other news, there are an odd number of votes in the poll, which means someone has either misunderstood or has decided to tactically vote for themselves and withhold their remaining vote

You people don't have a clue. On what planet are those two games the best?

I used the approach I adopted in The Weakest Link by not voting for myself Instead I voted for Paul's amazing new goat record, but I'll take credit where it's due

Re: GOTW 8-14 Mar: TWO VOTE SPECIAL EDITION!!
I actually wanted to vote three times, because IMO there are three games which would win any other week. So if anyone only wants to vote once, please also vote for Paul's Hypernundrum game too, to balance things out.
Re: GOTW 8-14 Mar: TWO VOTE SPECIAL EDITION!!
I voted once, went to choose my 2nd option, then wasn't allowed, but to be honest i didn't really have a second option. Its pretty clear which game is the best, it must be the one you played in yourself. How can you enjoy other people's games?
Re: GOTW 8-14 Mar: TWO VOTE SPECIAL EDITION!!
I'm a bit baffled that noone has voted for the hypergoatundrum attack, as I actually much prefer it to my speedgoat.

Modestly, my two favourites are the two at the bottom, and I do wonder whether the games I put at the end suffer some neglect due to their position (especially with 10 choices).
