Lowest Score on Solo Mode

I wonder if anyone has tried to get the lowest score possible on Solo Mode?
I think this is a relatively easy puzzle compared to the solo highest score but I also found it really interesting.
I managed to get lower than -700, and with better action order I think my setting can get to -710~-720 ish.
(Also, wish to implement the functionality that player can choose the action order in "Solo, Select 7 from All Cards" game.
Resetting to get the best action order is frustrating.)
Wonder if there is any way to get even lower.

This is my latest personal lowest score: -831

(Sorry for abandoning this game partway through — I just didn't want it on my record.)
Of course I used Mayor Candidate to get more negative points, but since I need to increase the number of Day Laborer combos, I used Bassinet and Sheep Inspector to activate the Day Laborer action three times in a single round.

Too bad Soldier is a 3+ occ. Otherwise this strat can probabaly be used to set the Solo High score!

Could you please make a Suggestion for the functionality you want? If it gets voted up, we can look into it. It is explicitly mentioned in the rules, so is theoretically possible to implement.

I saw you have now done that
If anyone else is interested in this variant (being able to choose what action space card comes next in solo games), you can vote for it here:

I've now implemented your suggestion. For solo games with draft mode set to "choose from all the cards (solo mode)", the player can now choose whether they want the round flips in a random order, or to be able to choose it themselves. This is in line with the rules which mention this option for solo experimental play.
I hope this helps those who use solo mode to go for high/low scores, want to test particular strategies, etc
