User talk:Ronan Higginson

I'm Ronan Higginson, am a regular Apterite who has taken part in 5 Countdown Events in person, and 4 Online. My most recent in person one was Co:Lon 2022 which I came 4th in. I was champion of CO-MSO in 2019, 2021 and 2022.

I took part in ZoomDown Series 3, winning one game, before returning in ZoomDown Series 4, where I won 2 games, before losing to Ahmed Mohamed on the crucial conundrum AMEDMANOR.

After Adam Beach had to withdraw from the finals, I was put in as #8 Seed, where I won my Quarter Final match on yet another crucial conundrum against #1 seed Brendan Whitehurst with a score of 88-99.

In the Semi Final vs #5 seed Adam Dexter, I won with a score of 112-81, thus giving me a spot in the Grand Final against Rachael Montgomery.

In the final, I fell behind early on due to having coatage ☓ disallowed, as well as getting one away on the 2nd numbers around. However, I maintained the 15 point losing margin, until getting back into a crucial margin with COWRIES in Round 12. I remained 8 behind up until the crucial conundrum MADCAROLS, where I incorrectly buzzed in with scramload ☓ after 29.2 seconds, to lose with a score of 92-100.

I returned again in March 2022 for ZoomDown Championship of Champions where I faced Conor Travers, losing 125-86.

I appeared on the show in Series 87 and became champion.

You'll be pleased to know I have deleted Ronan Higginson and salted it, which means it can't be recreated. I've also deleted your userpage, which was a broken redirect to that article. I am uneager to salt your userpage as it would mean you also would not be able to edit it, but do let me know if this is something you would like.--Launchballer 19:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Launchballer for this!!

Hi Ronan. When you were blocked, were you able to edit this page? I'd assumed you could on all wikis, but I've come across one where you can't.--Launchballer 21:24, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Impersonation

You'll be pleased to know if you don't already that account creation on this wiki has long been suspended, so the abuser can't create any more accounts. As a precaution, I have blocked every other account with usernames beginning 'Ronan' so only this one can edit, so you shouldn't be bothered again.--Launchballer 13:18, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much.-- Ronan Higginson 15:33, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
