ORGANULE in R4.

MADSTONE as a R11 beater.

Toby McDonald

DIGIPETS in R4.

Was quite happy with ACNODAL in R11 as its still unpencilled on Apterous, but it wasn't a max.

Toby McDonald

MOLDAVITE as a R11 beater.

Toby McDonald

Curtis was very unlucky to lose having a 15 point lead by the last 2 rounds.

MODERANT as an alternative to THANEDOM in R1.

Toby McDonald

I thought this was pretty funny as I've never seen it happen before. https://www.apterous.org/chat.php?jumptime_hour=0&jumptime_mins=0&jump_day=14&jump_month=05&jump_year=2018 2018-05-14 00:03:14 Jonathan Wynn left the room. 2018-05-14 00:03:14 Jonathan Wynn completed the Daily Duel ...

Congratulations on octochampdom Toby! 882 is a great score given a relative shortage of 9s, could've easy been 900 with 1 more. 8 centuries too (I'm jealous :P ) I wasn't in the audience for your QF so I'm looking forward to it! Cheers Brad! :D Yeah, I could have easily reached the 900 club with OU...

Excellent Game today Toby! Congratulations as well, I think you might be the first person born in this century to become an Octochamp so you have a record yourself! I feared it might go down to a Crucial Conundrum initially at the start of the show (After all, it's your 8th Game and people do start...

It's Toby! And he's won 7 with yesterday's 104 being his lowest yet, can he octo? Probably, but find out soon I guess Was gonna do one of those 'he needs X points to be nth seed' things And you did. Well done Toby by the way. Good set games, and that's a good name you've got too. Haha, thanks Gavin...

Toby McDonald

Excellent game again Toby - certainly producing the good words! :) 6 games...6 centuries! I did get 943 in r14 (just) in time: ((8+6)*8-10)*9+25. Cheers Ell!

Yep. Nice spot.

Toby McDonald

Wished I'd picked a final vowel in R11 for OUTLINEAR, etc, but didn't notice that at the time. Was actually fishing for a D for ROUNDTAIL. Also, DC got SARCOID in R13 but they must have cut it out for some reason. I was wondering why you didn't fish for it too - and it would have been there. Still,...

Toby McDonald

Also, DC got SARCOID in R13 but they must have cut it out for some reason. Hmm...perhaps Dr. Phil took too much time explaining? Since SARCOID is indeed a diesease...but thanks for letting us know!

Well done on Triple Wins now Toby! I have to say poor Colin...it was painful as a viewer to watch him suffer Round after Round with his invalid words, perhaps he was too distracted by your outfit (Please don't take offence! It really looked like those old Prisoner outfits I must say!) Nevertheless,...

Well played again today Toby- another century to add to the list :) Maxim was a good player and certainly had it in him to win a few more games. Thanks Tom! :) Yeah, Maxim was good, he certainly could have won a few. Stumped me on the last numbers because I was looking for a way to go up high. Way ...

Excellent double ton game, best game of the series so far. Well done chaps :) Thanks Jojo! :) Absolute cracker of a game- was nowhere near on that conundrum. Think Jason has joined Ciaran McCarthy in the highest losing score category, nevertheless brilliant play by both. Shall look forward to seein...

Toby McDonald

Yes, very good job Toby. Also Jason put in easily his best performance. ROMANITES was allowed and is valid on Apterous, but is listed with a capital R in the dictionary - the free version at least. Also, not that it made any difference as it's invalid anyway, but when Toby offered outlain, it would...

Toby McDonald

Well done Toby and congrtulations on your Teapot! Your mum must be proud of you! I take back my word on Becky vs Jill's game on being the best game...this has now become the best game of the Series!
