COUNTDOWN - Game Eight soon

[racefan12]

I am here

[doctorwho]

Game will start after I've gotten some sleep in.

Re: StrangerCoug: Absolutely fine.

[doctorwho]

As promised in the rules...

1=racefan12
2=StrangerCoug

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[doctorwho]

Which means racefan12, you're the designated champ, and you get first pick of the letters.

[racefan12]

5 consonants, 4 vowels

[doctorwho]

S C D H N E A O I

And here comes the clock.

[doctorwho]

Announcing a rules clarification mid-round: If you find a better word or a better solution and the 24 hours haven't run out, you are allowed to PM me again with your better submission.

[doctorwho]

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

racefan12: 7 (CHAINED)

StrangerCoug: 6 (CHIDES)

Yup, CHAINED gets the points here.

DC:

Three eights in that selection, two of which aren't so obscure: ECHIDNAS and ADHESION.

racefan12 draws first blood on that one for seven points, and StrangerCoug gets his choice of the last letters of this selection:

T H T R E I A

[StrangerCoug]

Let's do

another consonant and another vowel

.

[doctorwho]

T H T R E I A S E

And here's the clock.

[doctorwho]

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

StrangerCoug: - (nothing submitted*)

racefan12: 8 (TREATISE)

*StrangerCoug

did

submit THEATERS, but the answer came after the 24 hours, so I'm afraid I can't take it.

And racefan12's quickly widening the gap.

DC:

Would you believe there were three niners in there? HEARTIEST, HESITATER, and EARTHIEST all would have scored 18 points on this one.

15-0 as we go to racefan12 for the next letters.

[racefan12]

Off we finally go...

[doctorwho]

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

racefan12: 7 (ROOSTED)

StrangerCoug: 7 (ROOSTED)


Both of 'em submitted the same work, both of 'em get seven points each.

DC:

And seven was the best you could do - there were also RODENTS and SNORTED in there.

22-7, and StrangerCoug, it's your pick of the numbers.

[StrangerCoug]

Two large and four small

[doctorwho]

75 100 2 4 8 1

And you want to get to...

212

Here's your time.

[doctorwho]

Well, I was about to post, but the internet just ate what I had, so you're getting the simple version. Both players got it, the score is now 32-17, and StrangerCoug, your minimum letters:

M D D H E E I

What's your choice for the last two?

[StrangerCoug]

Let's make them

two vowels

.

[doctorwho]

M D D H E E I E E

Do you have enough Es now?

[Cheery Dog]

I hope someone did that (75+4*8)*2 approach in the last numbers round instead of the basic 2*100+8+4
I'd even maybe accept a ((100+8)*2-4)/1 for good measure.

because it's just too complicated doing a (100-75)*8+(2+1)*4 for all the numbers.

[Mitillos]

@CD: (75+4*8)*2 -> (75+4*8-1)*2

[Cheery Dog]

That just never came out when I typed out the solution. I knew it was there though as the target was 106 without the 2

[doctorwho]

Keeping this simple to make up for my disappearance from this game. StrangerCoug said DEEMED, racefan12 said HEEDED, and both are good for six points.

38-23 as racefan12 gets the next letters.

[racefan12]

Off we go...
