I'm still playing this although only at venues local to my work as I've been working long hours of late. Haven't managed anything more than £3. I think that was 89 points. Have noticed some non-me scores of 90 or 91 points about the place so I think others are playing it well. 95 points is a good knock - well done.

Another great effort dmac. I'm still not past 91 points myself. Was leading the league after 21 games yesterday (19-0-2) but lost concentration and ended up on 85. Going have to start playing this a bit more to try to beat your scores! I feel I ought to be able to - football's my specialist subject so this game ought to be made for me!

It helps to be able to tell the difference between Watford & Arsenal's black players, between the premierships' bald players (most of whom seem to play for Everton & Man City) and between the various Korean/Chinese/Japanese. Spoiler picture quiz questions appear to be Tottenham 84/85 squad and Arsenal circa 1970. Someone's obviously put a bit of effort into this which is cool

Some cruel observers have claimed that Lee Carsley, Thomas Gravesen and Andy Johnson are all in fact the same person...

Had a couple of pints in the Counting House this afternoon (main wetherspoons in central Glasgow). Across the 4 machines there's a 95, a 96 ("CASS") and a spectacular 99. Sadly the default REV was on the hi score, so probably recorded by someone who didn't realise how impressive it was

INCA got a 100 in whitehall spoons. Must have been yesterday. bastard.

KEV had a 97 and a number of 92+ scores in Marble Arch JDW when I happened past last night. I'm still not past 91.

well done qm - i guess that was a jackpot. i got one for 101pts i think it was in hogshead shawlands- 2 or 3 lucky guesses on daft q's but the rest was fairly straightforward.

Impressive stuff. Well done.

saw one of yours in Glasgow foxy, I forget where but it was top of the high scores anyway

INCA gets about doesn't he? Wonder who he is..

in the spirit of conspiracy theory:

INCA could be easily transmogrified from a visual anagram of (-D) NI(cf M) AC.
and i for one have not seen much DMAC heroism on this game. and DMAC is obviously very good on footie.

given that [the people to whom i have spoken about INCA's brilliance on FFQ and whose opinions are relevant] have also never seen the pseud INCA knocking around, i'd suggest that INCA must be a known player who has changed his name.

actually that is probably tenuous but you have pedigree on IS so i'd not be surprised if you are piping to lead us a merry dance on this. come clean?
apologies if i am wrong, my name is SELLE VÄRV now.
la la la.

Nice, but that last fact probably gives you an idea of how poor my general quiz-knowledge is, and explains my dislike of Q&A games. I can name Cov City's 87 cup winning side (and probably St Mirren's) and every single Big Brother contestant (hence can make easy cash from 2 Itbox games). But birth stones, atomic numbers, star signs, collective nouns, Shakespeare etc... I care so little, I doubt I could learn this stuff even if I wanted.

I don't bother with any FFQ that INCA has degraded.

yeah, agreed. Maybe it's HYENA? Or maybe not...

So I should stop putting GJOLLY KUD, DJULLY KOG and other nonsense on my Word Up nonclearances then?

Anyways, off to Birmingham today. Have a good un.

I don't think HYENA is in the INCA class.

One interesting thing about INCA is that he is so choosy. I played a 54 ItBox at the weekend somewhere in North London. INCA had visited and left a score on Hell's Bells, which wasn't paying. But he hadn't touched any of Crossword Quiz, Won In Sixty Seconds or TIOLI: I was able to take winnings from all of them and make c. £25.

I think INCA is either an existing player under a new name or a non-London player who's just relocated. From the size of his scores and the fact that he only ever needs one attempt to get a massive score on a machine, I'd say INCA could be Suri, but that's pure speculation. I don't think he's a narrow football specialist (per DMAC) as you'll recall he achieved the only other Give It A Whirl JP score I've seen (GIAW being a general knowledge game): again, that was his only score on that machine. I suspect that INCA is a really, really high-level player. As DMAC observes, he gets about - I've seen scores in North London and the City and I've had reports from as far south as Richmond. I shall be keeping an eye out.
