 | Ian Volante At last, a quest worthy of my meagre skills! |
 | Charlie Reams Are you telling me http://www.apterous.org/viewformat.php?format=226§ion=14 isn't enough for you? |
| Ian Volante Could have been a flash in the pan! |
 | Jim B I think it would be funny if I manage to stay ahead of Ian on here for ages and it gradually drives him insane enough to hatch an elaborate plot to kill me, and so overtake me on the leaderboard. |
| Ian Volante Just be careful with your typing. I'll say no more than that. |
 | Adam Gillard Now two people you have to kill, Ian! |
| Ian Volante Aye, my diligence has failed in recent months! |
| Adam Gillard Very close now! |
 | Tracey Mills I need a life :) |
 | Robert Miller I don't think I've missed a day since I started! |
| Dave Noble I think that you have - 20/aug/15 is day 232 , so with having played on 219 days would seem that are several days on which you haven't played a game |
| Robert Miller Those were the days when I had finished my trial games and were about to subscribe |
 | Mark James I'm guessing the daily duel count as a game? |
| Ian Volante Bentley is so close now! |
| Jim B Your dream will forever be without your grasp, "Ian", or should I say "i.an"? No, on reflection, "Ian" was right in the first place. |
| Tracey Mills I think we all need to get out more |
 | Robin M lol |
| Charlie Reams Mark: yes. Any completed game counts, except practice games. |
 | Keith Williams Bloody hell! 6 years on here and still can't get beyond 1200 |
| Ian Volante Aha, at last. |
| Charlie Reams Congrats! |
| Jim B NOW...the real game begins. |
| Jim B On a completely unrelated note, Ian, would you like to come for tea sometime? I solemnly promise not to poison you, or bury you under the patio. Nothing like that will go on. I guarantee it. |
| Jojo Apollo Haha :) |
| Ian Volante Love to! We could play 'word games' together. |
| Jim B Imagine some of the words we could come up with! I'm going to make this happen if it kills me! |
| Jim B Yeesh, 12 behind now. Reminder to self: don't go mad again. Btw Ian, on a totally unrelated note, could you let me know your postal address? I've got a special present to send you. |
| Ian Volante Custard Towers, 1 Peach Pie Lane, Edinburgh EH1 EHI. |
| Jim B Postcode should really be formatted as EH1 1EH or you'll get the posties all confused. I wonder where that actually is? Postcodes are tricky buggers, but I think it's somewhere in the middle of the St. George IV bridge, somewhere near the Central Library. |
| Ian Volante Oops, you're right. I get so confused about such things. |
| Adam Gillard 98% attendance rate from Phil Collinge! |
| Ian Volante I think I just hit 3,000. That's a lot of time I'll never get back. |
| Ian Volante Just a comment here to mention Phil's remarkable devotion to this place - on the day of his last game, he was at 98.5% days played. |
 | Adam Latchford 369th placed with 369 days played is so pleasing |
| Adam Latchford Fierce battle at the top here |
| Ian Volante I think Matt surpassed me at one point. |
| Show all comments | |
| Ian Volante And has done again! |
 | Fiona T slacker |
| Ian Volante It's Tuesdays I keep missing as I'm dashing out on quiz duty... |
| Fiona T we need a contiguous days played! although apto crashes might screw that |
 | Matt Hamer Looks like the most recent day I didn't play a game was 6 June 2020, nearly 4 years ago, and that was due to apterous being down. There are a few other apterites with similar or longer streaks. |
This table shows the number of days on which each player played at least one game.
