This list is taken from the original thread viewtopic.php?f=24&t=349 .

All I've done so far is write the details onto an Excel spread sheet, and copied and pasted this onto Paint to save as an image.
This because it's much easier than typing out all the names and box amounts individually here.

Over time I'll update the list and therefore the image below; I believe this list is correct, so far, up to October or November 2006.

Hmm. Seem to be having some trouble with the sizes here. May have to upload the last one in smaller size.

It should do for now, though.

Update: Am now into the process of creating a database-type thing on Excel of every game ever played here. That's likely to include many more than the 139 I listed above, as that list goes up to late 2006 at latest I think.

Tall order, but I'll get through them all eventually, and hopefully will get up to the present day at some point. It began as an idea to record all of the recent games, for the purposes of keeping up the competitive spirit, joviality ETC between those of us who are currently reviving this forum and playing the game. I've now decided to roll it out over the entirety of the site's history, so that we can have a database very similar to that the site already provides for the real-life show, except for games played within these forums.

Comprendé? We start here, then!

Well, I wasn't very successful.

Looking you up on the list up there, and by Jove! You really weren't....

Interesting that the very first amount ever won appears to be 1p. I'm not sure if Tom's game actually was the first ever, though - surely there were members playing before then? There must have been. My memory doesn't extend as far as January to April 2006 in depth, however.

Worth noting that I, in fact, was the first-ever quarter-millionaire....

It's a fix...

I think some of the early games actually were....

OK, having just spent an hour installing Office 2010 on my old desktop PC, because 2013 would lag quite a bit (and I've discovered that I LOVE Excel 2010)....first game done!

It was by no means the actual first ever, because it was in fact Woko's "4th chance" game - he stated himself that he'd had 3 prior, which I'm about to locate in my pruning of the forums, which is my remaining task for tonight.

The game took place on May 26th, 2006; Woko had astonishingly poor luck throughout, and after opening offers of £1,000 and £5,000, it was a one-box game - £100,000 with backup of £1,000-£5,000 - by 11-box. He declined £2,500 at that stage, and that was the last time he stood to win anything in the thousands; with a "£5,000-high" 8-box and an offer of £250, he went on to turn down £600 at 5-box with 4 blues and £3,000 remaining before hitting that £3k in Round 6 and leaving himself with £250 or £750.
Woko decided to go for it, declining £480, and won the £750 which was some consolation indeed.

Now that's up done and dusted, I can move on to my pruning - necessary moving of threads and other such duties. Which I take pride in, of course.
