I know we missed some stuff but there's no arguing with those scores.

I'm going to argue. I didn't think it was a very good game.

Jono said I fully deserved to win after fishing for the 9 in that last round but I disagree. He was better.

I disagree completely. The game has nothing to it but a brilliant performance, but we all know Kirk is brilliant, so where's the story? I like a close game or a total battering.

To be fair it is the highest-scoring perfect game by a large margin, so it's got that in its favour...

If this were Performance of the Week, it would have a lot in its favour.

I have to say that even though it was a privilege to be beaten by Kirk with such a huge maximum the additional award of GOTW would only inflate his already swollen ego to unmanagable proportions

That's a bit suspect - have you run it through the cheat detector?

Not a particularly impressive performance by the standards of some in these parts, but this was quite an exciting game, and gives me a 1 from 1 record against Apterous Prime in Goatblitz.

Maybe we should start doing Scrag Of The Week. Respect for persisting though.

I know it's another vanilla game and there was a shocking miss from both of us in the first round, but it was really close and exciting and everything!

Well done to James in a close but quite a high scoring contest.

After round 7, I really thought I had the game in the bag. At least I found one of the nines, but I'm still a complete moron. :)

Nearly got a speedgoat max game - the one round I missed the max was a double darren awesome 9 that Dinos spotted. Quality.
