Fair do's. I wouldn't agree with that though! ^^^ Had a nice 100% today though on 4 here and nows, 2 cluedos and a rovers. Must be a bloody first for me to get through that many without ballsing one up.trayhop123 wrote:and wedge is not 100% , your chances of missing it at even the slowest speed , r no diff to our chances of missing at the fastest speed
bottom line , its piss lol

matt, if you read your last post back to yourself, it sort of closes down your argument ,
because your admitting that its rare for you to get through a day of only 4 unwedgeable hear n nows without fecking up
whilst the rest of us who nailed the skil early on , could quite confidentially hit 30 of these in a day ( assuming of course you have 30 to do in a day lol) with a confidant 99.9% hit rate. with no fear or risk .
its all about maximising your profits at the end of the day ,.
cash is indeed king
and so for all those that naturally skil'ed these from day 1, haven't had to contend with subsequent chips. and are therefore rewarded for their efforts ten fold , compared with the wedge players
in hindsight matt m8, be honest, which path should you have chosen ???????

Well clearly wedge :P Was a lot behind the times here, and every Cluedo was p1 in and around the city, up to 9 at one point. They went, and travels found me p2s and monopolys etc, which eventually turned up here, eventually with some p2 cluedos. None at all now though.
My main point was that people are trying to say hitting it manually is easier then holding down a button which it clearly isn't, whatever way you look at it :P

Agreed. Although we found the wedge on ziggys - we didn't bother with it, since it is an easy skill to hit, and staying sharp on skills seems vastly more important than having an easy wedge.trayhop123 wrote:whilst the rest of us who nailed the skill early on , could quite confidentially hit 30 of these in a day ( assuming of course you have 30 to do in a day lol) with a confidant 99.9% hit rate. with no fear or risk .
Once the chips came out, of course we were proved correct !

I cant wait for you to goto a cluedo and wedge it, that you've been wedging for the last 3 months and it has been chipped on site.Mattb wrote:Why would you ever 'risk' it???? It's risk free! Stevie Wonder and David Blunkett could wedge a p1 cluedo for gawds sake! I'm pretty hit and miss at the p2s to be honest, i'll hold my hands up and say i miss a few. If i miss the £5er one either side and go to £6 that gets me a lot of the time. If i get £5 > £10 then that's often the last obstacle....clear that one and i'm home most of the time.
Doesnt sound risk free to me.
Plus, if any turd watches you wedge it, they can copy it. Let your average turd try to copy you hitting it properly.
I very, very, rarely wedge - If I do, its usually down to the fact Im having enough trouble seeing the fruits on a super hold, let alone a GUAC due to a steady stream of fosters running through my blood. But even if I do wedge it, I dont just hold the button down, I 'pretend' to hit it.
I watched someone do the bottom, bottom, middle wedge yesterday. Second time Ive ever seen it. It looked so easy it was disgusting and I hoped we would get thrown out, sadly, we didnt.
cheers, Mark
You can tell almost from the off if its chipped though Slammer, there are signs to look for. One is usually a LL motif :P
It wouldn't bother me anyway, as the wedge way would mean it would carry on spinning at £2, you just re-adjust, hit one to £2.50 and carry on. Hardly a huge problem. I also hit start as it drops in on wedgers to make onlookers look like i'm hitting it myself
Anyway, even the high and mighty mr Slammer has been observed missing a GUAC round these here parts.

No - Jord was up there and someone threatened him in a spoons or yates'. He said it ended cool though, after jord said he wasn't up there to play the fruits. He can't say much on the subject of aggression - a couple of years ago, most people thought he was an 18 year old pikey in a burbery cap from Hastings!admin wrote:J from Hull?

An unprecedented settling of scores by native sons and daughters will be published this weekend, trashing 50 towns and cities which allegedly make up a "crap map" of Britain.
Drubbings are handed out with gusto by subversive residents of the sometimes startling finalists in a competition to write what the compilers are trumpeting as the Domesday Book of Misery.
Several predictable aunt sallies may be there, such as Cumbernauld and Slough, but the most imaginative bile is dished out on places which until now have been complacent about their reputation.
A shudder will go round the super-pricey London streets of St John's Wood - 14th crappiest and apparently the home of "herds of oversized jeeps" - while Winchester, only four places from the uncoveted top spot, is dismissed for "broken bottle violence on Friday nights" and the "priggish complacency of its inhabitants".
The pocket guide-sized book, which has jumped straight into the top 200 titles on Amazon's internet pre-order list, is unashamedly unscientific and biased.
Its origins, according to its co-authors, lay in one of those late-night conversations people have about their ghastly origins - in this case, Morecambe and the previously blameless Hampshire beauty spot of Alresford.
The latter is "a great place if you're under three or over 53; shite if you're anywhere in between," said Dan Kieran, deputy editor of the Idler, who launched the hunt for crapness last year on the magazine's website.
Discussing the notion with his colleague, Sam Jordison, he admitted that his main motive was "an abiding dislike of Alresford".
Eager readers queued to dump the likes of Ascot ("insufferable smugness and bigotry"), and Tintern, the celebrated abbey which inspired William Wordsworth.
Or did it? No, writes its nominator Grace Kline, who suffered from the village's "godforsaken" tedium and believes the poet deliberately set his work "a few miles above Tintern Abbey" (the correct title) because he actively disliked the place.
Previews of some of the diatribes on the Idler website have not completely upset targets, however, with even the Top Crap Town, Hull, pointing out that the survey is not all bad. With British fair-mindedness, the book allows some of its 50 victims an "in defence of" section, with Hull being credited for friendliness and imaginative street names.
The former home secretary, Michael Howard, is given space to argue that his Hythe constituents live in "the jewel of Kent" rather than a place which "makes nearby Folkestone look like Las Vegas".
But no one comes to the defence of Hayling Island, summarised in a sour double-whammy as "favourite holiday place of people from Reading".
Even so, the authors have decided not to hold an official launch in any of the crap 50, in case linguistic subtleties are lost on, say, Wolverhampton, where smells "permeate the town like the stench of a trapped animal slowly decaying in a drainpipe".
