September Daily Duels

[Julie T]

Not sure why there wasn't a thread for the July and August Daily Duels, but here goes for September.

Have I broken a record for the largest daily drop in ranking?

4th out of 61 on the 7th September, then 48th out of 62 on the 8th September!

I was in exceptional form for me in the first one, and in the second one, I was tired and rushing to get it finished before midnight as my connection kept going, even totally blobbing a few.

IIRC 4th might be the best I've ever achieved.

I think I may well have come last the day after a win, or a similar disaster!

Brings you back down to earth with a bump, doesn't it?
C'est la vie!

[David O'Donnell]

The duel is a marathon not a sprint and is generally won by anyone who is sad enough to play every day.

Could it have anything to do with last nights football?

Sandwoman (plural: sandwomans)?

Well, Jim Bentley and I were the only ones to 'go all the way' last month.

And it was fantastic, baby! You were insatiable. Duel was pretty good too.

Thanks - it was good for me, too.
We'll have to see if we can manage it this month.

[JimBentley]

Woo, my first win in ages (since about March, I think)! I only risked UNDERPLOT because I'd fucked up the first conundrum, too, usually missing a conundrum totally blows your chances of winning a Duel, so it was caution to the winds time at that point.

[James Hall]

damn chicken on underplot lost me a win!

Grrrr

[Philip Jarvis]

I feel really chuffed to have reached the dizzy heights of equal 2nd place with 6 out of 8 maxes in yesterday's duel. It's a shame I didn't go for SPRAYDECK instead of the DECKSPRAY I declared for the conundrum. I really would have had bragging rights then.

Alas, I'm back to my usual standard on today's duel.

[Martin Bishop]

Bollocksed up a numbers declaration yesterday. The extra ten points would have given me a 4th place: one of my best results for a while. Annoying.
