 | Eoin Jackson For fuck's sake! 🙈 |
 | Matthew Tassier There were a record number of max games for a Nice round here, and a first ever Strongest Link accolade for Matthew. |
| Matthew Tassier With a clearly disappointed Eoin missing this round's deadline, it's Joshua's turn for a lucky reprieve, whilst fellow debutant Mark remains in the elimination zone. Mark and Eoin you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
| Eoin Jackson I am not a fucking weakest link. Hello. |
 | Joshua McCune Whew, I certainly didn't deserve to make my way through - but I'm also not going to complain...! |
Notes from the organizer: With the first round negotiated your reward is a friendly Nice game against Apterous Prune. With targets (51-500) in Nice guaranteed to be achievable without needing to use all the available numbers, it should be another high-scoring round. As Prune is your opponent, the decision between 1 and 2 larges is entirely yours.
