Received today the picture of my Word Play trophy, which can now be seen proudly adorning the end of my personal space, and at A1049753 - either mine is the only one in its own (wonky) trophy cabinet 
, or I've only got a picture of a trophy 
.
yes, I found the most long words first... it doesn't sound like such an achievement now I think about it, more a sign of obsessively awaiting publication of <./>thepost</.>. Ho hum.

I gave up on the Post Word Play because of that dreaded comment "Keep chat to a minimum".

I never took too much notice of that. It is a fairly terse forum though.
If they hadn't changed the time of publication from about 2am GMT to a more Pimms-agreeable 10am'ish I'd have never won - it is a flaw of the compo that 'speed of response' (or rather being logged on at the time the compo is posted) can be the principal factor in determining the victor. I suppose many competitions are affected by 'first to buzz', but I don't think it can feasibly be remedied without leaving loopholes for those determined to 'win'.

Neato! Awesome trophy. And it has you name on it, which is totally cool.
Jodan doesn't have a trophy with his name on it. He just has badges.
