MM Links Results Aug 2011 wk1

[gen2]

A new month, a new game and a new setter so how did it go?

Did you pick up your ballpoint to write down the options and then went for something else?
Did you envisage the winning post before you even started?
Was the whole thing so depressing that you sat on a bar stool at the local cocktail bar and asked the bartender for a ground-breaker?

'King Jim' has just assumed the throne and set you a challenge that I can now reveal was:

Ball POINT
WINNING post
Bar STOOL
BREAKING ground

Read on to discover how everyone did

[gen2]

Second player, Paulineward dug into the points with GROUND BREAKER for 2 points. Grannydi later picked up a single.

The first of the bar props was ROCKFORDILL who shared his BAR STOOL with beejay1124, patchett & middlestump - all drinking doubles. Other hangers-on at the bar were kawakiri, boxtops and regward drinking singles.

At 9:03, Strix bought his way out of the 'Freefall Club' by being first past the WINNING POST (2 points), followed by cliffyg and cupid04 for one point

The final link held out for most of the day, until Euphemia finally got the point of the game for her 2 points (BALL POINT)

I therefore declare that for finding that last elusive link, Euphemia is Hotshot of the Week

***** LET TRUMPETS SOUND *****
***** AND BUGLES CALL *****
***** HOTSHOT of the WEEK *****
***** IS EUPHEMIA *****

(sorry, couldn't make a rhyme in the time availabe.)



So after the first week, the scores look like this:

2 points: beejay1124, Euphemia, middlestump, patchett, paulineward, rockfordill & Strix
1 pont: boxtops, cliffyg, cupid04, grannydi, kawakiri & regward

A warm welcome to new player 'Sibton'. Hope we see more for you and suggest that by playing early on a Saturday morning (9:00am) you will stand a better chance of gaining bonus points tat remain available for just 2 minutes after each link is discovered.

Until next wekend then,
Happy linking everyone,
