Finally I manage to get through an entire Numbers Attack without fucking one up! And it only took ten months.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
My best ever game. 11 maxes, i am immensely proud. Shame i didnt get my second ever 100 with a relatively simple conundrum miss.

I have not yet had a max game in a 15 rounder, this is the closest I have come!

Project 'Goatdown Standard' gets me a top 20 placing on the scoreboard. Would've been higher if I didn't bottle GASOLENE & DIOPTASE (both sowpods regulars). Next up- 140+ and 13/15.

Marcus Hares has a habit of bringing high scores out of me. I've only ever played him 4 times, and now 2 of those have been record highs in bullet rounds. This one increases the Bullet 9 record by 1, and is also the first Bullet 9 perfect game. Clearly the rounds were all fairly nice, easy selections but Marcus Hares can do that somehow. The other record game I had with him was a 126 in Bullet 15.

In pursuit of Chris Davies' Touchdown Letters Attack record, things weren't looking good after the first half. Even 6 nines in the second half only netted me the 2nd highest score ever. Still, I'm reasonably happy with that.

I've only had about two or three standard numbers attacks better than this, I suppose the fact that they were all one larges blemishes it a bit.
