After playing countless games of Gang of Four, the couple of us have managed to rake up several notable records, some of which are really pretty hilarious...
(1) Most consecutive wins - Around 10 deals or so. Exact figure and occurence forgotten. This excludes consecutive wins at 99.
(2) Most consecutive wins at 0 - Around 8 deals or so. Exact figure and occurence forgotten. This is very difficult and commendable as the other players will be trying their best to break the winning streak.
(3) Most consecutive wins at 99 - Around 15 deals or so. Exact figure forgotten. This one very hilarious and easy actually. When a player reaches 99, it is regarded as the other players' responsibility to let him win until they themselves have a chance of winning. So if the gap between the leader and the rest is large, then effectively, only the leader will be trying to break the streak! But I don't believe that the plan has backfired before in that a player has ever won the game with 99 points. It would require a feat of busting all the other three players simultaneously!
(4) Fastest Loss of a game - In two rounds. One of the scores was an 80(from a full 16-card hand) and another was at least 20 points(10 or more cards left). This has happened several times already, but they tend to be forgotten quickly since we almost immediately just start on a new game. Exact timings of such games are not known...
(5) Biggest Win in a deal - No one has yet to catch all the other three players with 16 cards before. Whenever someone had a superb hand, one of the players would seem to have a gang to delay the win sufficiently. However, I think the biggest win is still quite large, at least 150 total I would say.
(6) Bravest act - Several contenders here. Putting down anything other than a gang and leaving yourself with a low combination/card to game is generally brave, if opponents have several cards in hand and could still have gangs. Forming 3 flushes and a low single card a-la Roddy is even braver, as you are hoping for the full houses to run out and someone to play a straight, before you rattle off your flushes for the win. But I think the bravest act must be for the winner of a deal to return the highest card to the loser. A few of us have done it before! This is because the high card is usually the President or VP, which cannot be used in a combination. So if the winner has a superb hand with lots of combinations(and very preferably a gang) he can rattle off for another win, then the high single card proves redundant. Of course, the bravery element comes in as plans may not quite work out as expected...
