Goin to the Chapel

By OLOW, June 15, 2010

Hey folks,

I’ve got to take a few weeks off from the game.  But I have a good reason, I’m getting married!

We’ll be back on July 7 with some great new clues.  Until then, why not spend some time at Octavarius.com?

Don’t miss us too much!

I Guess It’s Topical Thanks to the Oil Spill…

By OLOW, June 9, 2010

This week is ocean week!  Keep an eye out for clues pertaining to the deep blue sea..  I have no idea what I’m going to come up with.
Regarding last week’s winner – I’ve decided to call it a tie among everyone who played.  My clues were so bad and misleading that it just doesn’t seem fair to give anyone the crown.  I’ll try to be less stupid from now on.

Ga Ga Goo Goo

By OLOW, June 2, 2010

This post must be kept short.  It’s Wednesday already, and I’m going on 0 hours of sleep.

Why?

The damn baby kept me up all night.   Did you know OLOW has a baby?

It’s baby week!

One Letter Off Wednesday Needs Your Help!

By OLOW, May 27, 2010

First, congrats to David Wilhelm, winner of Space Week and our first back-to-back OLOW winner.

We at One Letter Off Wednesday are always trying to find ways to improve the game.  And now, we’re asking for your help.

How do we know what to change if you don’t tell us?  Please, please, please take 5 seconds out of your day and give us a little feedback.

I’ve put together a simple survey for our players to fill out, which can be found here.

I promise it will be brief and painless.  It will also help us grow!

Thank you for playing, we’ll see you next Wednesday!

3…2…1… Ignition!

Last week’s winner: Anna McCafferty (Congrats on a Two Letter Off Thursday Tie Breaker!)

This week’s theme: The Apocalypse

This week’s winner: Could be youuuuu.

What About Pets?

By OLOW, May 11, 2010

Do you love the companionship of those cute furry creatures?  I sure hope so, because this week’s theme is all about pets.  Tomorrow’s clues will feature movies, songs, and books all about pets and animals.

You still have about 18 hours to wait until the game starts, why not listen to the Octavarius podcast all about pets?

See you tomorrow!

Woof.

Mamma Said Knock You Out!

By OLOW, May 6, 2010

Jon’s gonna knock you out!

Yes, with a total of 19 points, Jonathan Goldman is the champion of Mom Week.  Congrats on your second win, Jonathan. You just love seeing your name on the internet.

Get a life.

But seriously, good work.  It was a good game yesterday!  Head to the scores page to find out how close you came to beating Jonathan.

I’ve decided to make a slight adjustment to the scoring system to try to keep it fair for those of us that can’t sit in front of the computer hitting refresh every two minutes.   Starting next week you won’t receive any additional points for answering multiple questions in a row.  If you happen to get lucky and hit a few in a row, you can pretty much end the game before the afternoon.  That’s just not fair.  Under this scoring method, someone who answers 5 clues correctly throughout the day will have a lower score than someone who answers 3 in a row.  So, say goodbye to those bonus points, and say hello to closer competition!

Thanks for playing, and check back next Monday for next week’s theme.

Don’t forget to give your mom a big OLOW hug and kiss this Sunday.  While you’re at it – tell her about OLOW!

Momma’s Boy

By OLOW, May 3, 2010

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we at Octavarius have decided to devote this week to the women who are #1 in our lives; Our moms.

This Wednesday’s clues will pertain 100% to the women who brought us into this world.  I promise I’ll come up with a great clue for “Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!”

We’ll see you Wednesday!  In the meantime, why not kill some time with this week’s Podcast, devoted to moms!

And don’t forget to call, write, and give gifts to your mother this Sunday!

You Should All Be Annoyed at This Week’s Winner

By OLOW, April 29, 2010

David Wilhelm takes the cake with 16 points.  Isn’t it annoying that his name will be forever imprinted on the Hall of Fame page?

Congrats, David!
Thank you to everyone who played this week.  Check out the scores page to see where you ended up, and come back to OLOW on Monday for next week’s theme!
