Looking forward to seeing your game/games Fiona. And welcome to the site.

Maybe Andrew Jackson and Alan Duval's Quarter final

The 4L solve was class.
Perhaps the best solve since Noel McIlvenny! Comeon Maggie, just one more win and you'll be the first female Octochamp since Annie!! As I emphasised during CoCXV, we need more of those!!

I second all of this.

Owen Carroll

Zarte got the second chance and was pretty damn successful. Best countdown player ever now.

Ah, thanks Owen. Helps that I haven't been on for a while...

No worries. But I don't think he was on it since august

Owen Carroll

James it might interest you to know that Alan is an apterite.

Owen Carroll

Welcome Mac. You'll enjoy it I'm sure.

Owen Carroll

Good job John. Been waiting for you to appear after hearing it on apterous. Will be watching your game tomorrow.

Owen Carroll

But was fantastic to see him get fantastic spots and has got nines in more games than most people. Cannot wait for your finals man.

Owen Carroll

Was very surprised that Dinos didn't get a 9 in r4

Owen Carroll

We're more than likely to have our first 900 club member since Zarte in 20 hours

Melanous was available in Round 2. Enjoyed the euphoria from the audience when Pauline beat Dinos on the final letters

Me too.

And still he got his 3rd highest score! just shows his consistency

Very much so

Owen Carroll

first game that Dinos didn't get a 9.

Owen Carroll

Never seen a contestant get a 9 in his first 5 games.

Edit: hadn't seen Ray's post re R8. That'll be a no then.

A 12 maxer. Not at all bad.

Yes, and after Rachel's comment when Dinos picked 6S too! I 'like' how Nick managed to put yesterday's departing contestant down at the end too, without him even being there!

Couldn't agree more

Owen Carroll

Well done to Martin for getting one away with that 6s. But Dinos was defo the better player here.

Owen Carroll

Best contestant all series.

Probably more likely you can't have the singular tbf. When do you ever see just one?
I wasn't sure if you could pluralise it because I didn't know what it meant.
Oic, sorry for any offence...

No worries

I do predict Misba will fall just short of octochampdom, but a good chance of making the finals if she can double her number of wins.

Well hopefully she can catch a break from these close games.

Owen Carroll

Didn't think it was right for nick to say that Rachel's advice paid off.

Owen Carroll

At least Kerry didn't have another nightmare of a game

Owen Carroll

Could really tell Kerry was feeling the pressure at the end.

So what did you have?
Same as Rachel, but I'd become convinced I'd used a 2 twice, despite one being a 100/50

Impressive to get that close though! Nice job

I thought you said you wouldn't be back on the forum for ages after the COC?

Owen Carroll

So, it's D-Day for Brendan. Can he do 8? Smart money says so imo. But maybe he will pull a Bob and crash out on game 8- if so, will he steal Dougie Mackay's short-lived crown as having the highest total for a 7-win player- Will only take him about 75 to get over 800 though.... That makes me wonder,...

Owen Carroll

Nice to have nearly an octochamp this early on

Owen Carroll

I'd say Brendan could make it as an octochamp. He's done pretty well so far.

Owen Carroll

Hopefully we'll get the next COC in 2022

Owen Carroll

Wow, just wow. What a series. Huge congratulations Zarte! An incredible player and a very well deserved winner! :D Commiserations Bradley! We all know you tried your absolute hardest, but not everyone can say they are a CoC runner-up. You should be very proud of your achievements! :D Too bad you we...

Even better, he made the final three!

Congrats Bradley. Commiserations tom. But it's gotta be better if you're losing to a good mate than someone you don't know.
Good luck Bradley and Zarte tomorrow.
P.S. I only scored in 4 rounds today.

Owen Carroll

I think I've had enough rematches

Owen Carroll

Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:26 pm I thought Philip seemed a bit more subdued than usual in this game, like Zarte had given him a pre-match punch in the face. But at the end he was perfectly fine about the whole thing, so that's probably not what actually happened.

He got a stomach ache before he went on set.

Johnny Canuck wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:57 pm You know you're reaching the critical stages of the CoC when Susie starts needing to define the conundrum answers. (This one is still unpencilled too!)

Only 2 conundrums left though. That helps if people don't like Susie giving definitions.

Owen Carroll

I wonder why nick didn't mention this game being a rematch?

Owen Carroll

Congrats Zarte! You deserve to be in the final. Bad luck Philip. But you've done awesomely the whole way through!

Owen Carroll

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!! Zarte congratulations. I hold you in even higher esteem than I did before and that is saying something. Whatever happens mate, you are a countdown legend. You are my countdown idol. Good luck against Philip tomorrow. Tom congrats for doing as well as you did. Tiramisus was an ve...

Will be an entertaining game either way! Good luck in your semi along with whoever your facing. Also, not to steal your th...
