KM Links Game - April week 3 results

[seekeerz]

Making an effort this time not to have the post buried so far back that people were unable to find it.

Another week with four very matchable words, no curlies, but lots of possibles - in the end they turned out to be

Olive Branch
York Shire
Emperor Moth
Union Jack

crofter, paulineward & miss meg all collected 6 points with three correct answers each.

seekeerz, london_lassy, JRB, deecee131, Jools,
bridgenut, fordward, Prescott, Gill G & chriss all collected 3 points for two correct answers.

And a further 24 entries all scored 1 point for one correct match.

Congratulations everyone - I hope you're enjoying the extra time relaxing in the morning, but while we're all basking in the glow of our respective successes, could you all give a thought to the one minor dilemma that may occur next weekend - that being, if there is a tie for first place - what happens then ??? Previously when there's been a tie for first, we've had the countback system to determine the winner - with the scoring as it is now, that will not be possible and there may have to be joint wearers of the crown for the month - any ideas would be most welcome.

Now, AB site willing, I will post this and follow with the Leader Board.

[mirandasmum]

Thanks for that. I have yet to score even 1 point !!

[seekeerz]

uh, uh - mirandasmum you picked up a point the first week you were with us - so no down in the dumps, please, and it's all just luck and all for fun, so stick with it.

Have a good day, best wishes, S

[tearinghair]

Another poor showing for me...
Thanks to Dustybun for the suggestion about joining in MM links; I'll give it a try. I had wondered about it, but couldn't make up my mind; it's encouraged me to have a go.

[mirandasmum]

I will try not to be Seekeerz. Thanks for your support !!
Car failed MOT so off to garage now and then on the bus ! Have a good monday.

[seekeerz]

now, now, none of that !! you have 3 points on the board, tearinghair and once the clues are printed everyone will have a better chance.

Glad to see you've got into the MM merry go round, as well, keeps us all on the hop, Saturday.

[Aquagility]

Thanks, Steff. Thanks for my one little point, too!
As a matter of passing interest, although our Union Flag is almost always referred to as the Union Jack, it is NOT a jack, a word which has a quite specific meaning.
What Union,anyway, you may ask.

[Aquagility]

Oh, and thanks to Cliffyg, too.

[slaney]

Well done to the 6s..crofter, pauline and miss meg, and thanks Steff.

As to a tie situation - I'm easy - joint winners would be fine; or one could have a version where the greatest number of "big hits" counted. A winning score of 12, say, witha 6,4 and 2 would win over a 12 composed of 4, 4 and 4 etc.

[paulineward]

I've done well this weekend on the links!

Joint winners would be fine with me also...Slaney's scoring suggestion for an outright winner seems okay. But I don't mind sharing...I never win this anyway!
Could do this month though...and then of course I will fight you all for it! :-))

[Dustybun]

thanks Steff. I am actually really looking forward to the first week with the clues.

I think sharing honours is fine. If that doesn't work you could try handbags at dawn!!! :0)

PS - watch that Pauline - she's on a roll!

[Prescott]

Golly gosh - first time ever on the leader board !!

Many thanks Steff, well done and keep up the good work, preferably in a pub !!

[x-ray]

Thanks steff - I am still there, but the contest looks wide open for a thrilling last week - bit like a penalty shoot-out.
Good luck everyone, see you next weekend.

[teacher1]

Wow ! How did I get up there ? Can I keep it up ! lol

[teacher1]

I'll probably be banned by the AB again before next Saturday ........ lol

[Gasbaggertie]

Jean is kicking herself because she'd said union jack and then thought it was too obvious!! Kate's deviousness is slipping!! - or maybe it's a double bluff!

Have a good week, all. We are still rubbing our wounds from the penalty that never was - and the one that didn't even try to be - from yesterday!!

[crofter]

Just like teacher1 I am equally surprised at MY success!

After two years of predicting, I think that I am getting the hang of it!!

:o)

[seekeerz]

ohhh, get outa here, crofter you've had a handle on it from day 1 xx S
