Octochampdom looking very much in his reach at this rate. Can he keep this up? Find out tomorrow...

What’s the record for fewest rounds lost in an octorun?

Elliott Mellor lost only one round and scored points in all 119 of the other rounds.

Played again on this one. Don't know if people enjoy this kinda thing but I certainly do.

R1: CHILDIES
R2: CAPTIVE
R3: 277 (50 + 4) * (8 - 3) + 7, felt like a tricky one to me
R4: NORDITE
R5: BUTANE
R6: 163 (75 + 5) * 2 + 2 + 1
R7: LOUDER
R8: ROAMERS
R9: 877 (100 + 5 - 1) * 8 + 50 - 5
R10: SWIPES
R11: TELOGEN
R12: PONTAGES/SEPTAGON
R13: FOREMAN
R14: 328 (50 + 75 - 7 - 4) * 2
R15: Pressed pause at the exact moment Tom's light came on. Don't know how to judge that, but my answer was still OVERSHOOT.[/list]

Got beat by Tom regardless though, 107 - 100 WITH the con and 117 - 97 without it.
Against Steve I won with 113 - 50.

So far Tom's hit an absolute spectrum of maxes throughout his game; 11, 10, 13, 15, 8, 12. Waiting for that 9 max and 14 max game now lol

Tom's scored in every round hasn't he? If so, this outranks (i.e. irrelevantises) the "not lost a round" stat.

Technically, my round winning record should now not be in place, because there was a techy error before the final conundrum. The original scramble was TENSDISCO, but it had not appeared on my monitor, so I put my hand up almost immediately to notify the techy folks. It did then appear but by then, they'had paused and decided to do a new conundrum. Steve had seen the answer but didn't buzz, whereas I didn't see the answer until after they decided to change the conundrum.

No spoilers, but was preparing to pack my bags in tomorrow's game...

That con's a real tough one, so many dead ends for me.

Oh damn, hopefully it'll still be a good one tomorrow then.

I 13-maxed this game. RITORNEL in R4.

As it's not a game spoiler, I can only presume he gravely insulted one of Colin/Rachel/Susie and was expecting to be thrown off. Looking forward to it!

Colin promised him a holiday if he broke the high score record again
