MM Links Results April 2012 Week 4

[gen2]

This week's game brings to and the challenges for April

Regal Roslyn (aka roslyn251254) tried to get you all hooked on numbers - not that that was an answer to any or all of the links - that would have been too obvious.

What in fact she had chosen for you this weekend were:

PRIME MERIDIAN
ODD COUPLE
BREAK EVEN / EVEN BREAK
PERFECT PITCH

A good bunch of points and an exciting finish.

[gen2]

Once again, all 4 links wee matched within the first two minutes.

First was tearinghair with PERFECT PITCH. Rockfordill and Aquagility were also in tune and on time so 2 points each.

Beejay1124 followed right behind with BREAK EVEN as did ulysses 100 for their 2 points

Ulysses100 was also first to pick up the ODD COUPLE of points making 4 in total.

Player #8, Lysander, then chose the PRIME MERIDIAN for her 2 points.

With all the bonuses gone, it was just single points on offer from then on, but lots of them - 34 points scored in total.

Apart from Ulysses100, there were 6 other double-hitters, namely Elspeth, patchett, joto, Baza, Shazza & twix123.
so, for being this week's highest scorer:
**** THE HOTSHOT ****
**** THIS WEEK IS ****
***** ULYSSES100 *****

I will also give lysander and twix123 a mention here as they were the only players to score on all 4 weeks against Regal Roslyn.

In summary, this week's scorers were:

4 ulysses100
2 Aquagility
2 Baza
2 beejay1124
2 ChrisHewat (Mrs)
2 Elspeth
2 joto
2 lysander
2 patchett
2 rockfordill
2 tearinghair
2 twix123
1 bigjack
1 cliffyg
1 hawk3y3
1 jobjockey
1 ladyalex
1 Manxiemo
1 mirandasmum
1 wickedtongue

So how does that affect the April Championship?

[gen2]

If you remember, BigMac and Lysander were even stevens at the top, but BigMac achieved his prediction of crashing out with zero whilst Lysander's 2 points thrust her into the top position.

Therefore it is time to bang that Big Bass Drum and announce
*** THE CHAMPION ***
*** FOR APRIL IS ***
***** LYSANDER *****
Congratulations Lysander.

Lysander hasn't set the links since 2008 so is overdue for a return to the setter's role for MAY 2012.
I therefore ask her to to get in touch with me at the usual address

So, until then next weekend,
Same time,
Same place.
Happy Linking

Well I scored zilch, as per normal these days, but thanks to you, Gen2 and also Regal Roslyn.

[lysander]

Many thanks for the drum roll.As I have said before when I have been offered to set the links once more I think Crofter's original rule that the task is offered to someone who has never had the honour. If Big Mac has not done so I feel he should have the chance as it was only luck I was able to overtake him. Regards LYSANDER

[tearinghair]

Thanks roslyn and Gen2. That's my best month for some time, so perhaps the tide has turned! Well done to BigMac and Lysander.

[gen2]

Lysander, FOUR YEARS AGO is so far back it is almost never. It is time you has a second go.

Had you set them within the last year, then I migh have offered it to BigMac, but in the first instance, the fickle finger of fate is pointing at YOU Lysander.

Please email me.

[boxtops]

Thanks gen2, I've not done very well this month, better luck in May!

[ladyalex]

A single point over the whole month for me.
That might be an improvement on last month!

Thanks to Regal Roslyn and Gen2
:-))

[Psybbo]

Zero for me, roll on next month and thanks gen2 and roslyn - very enjoyable.

[gen2]

some people's memory is letting them down

Ladyalex, you scored TWO points this month (1 wk3 and 1 wk4)

Sibton, you scored 1 point wk2.

[Aquagility]

Thanks Gen2, and Regal Roslyn. And well done Ulysses100, and of course Lysander - I hope you'll be able to confuse us all next month!

[roslyn251254]

Well done everyone & thank you for your entries! I shall be ready to re-start my guesses again at 9am sharp!!

[twix123]

Thanks Gen2 and Regal Roslyn. At last a setter where I could find the correct wavelength! Well done Lysander and all the other point scorers.

[BigMac]

Many congratulations to Lysander - and thanks to Roslyn and gen2.

It's only by luck that any of us received any points at all... ... ...

[ulysses100]

I've been away for the weekend and have just seen the results. It's been a long time since I was a hotshot so I am well pleased. Congratulations to all the point scorers, and I look forward to next month's bash.

[gen2]

24 Hours on and I still don't have an email from Lysander.

I therefore invite BigMac to get in touch with me at the usual address

grytvikengen2
'AT'
googlemail.com

I realise this is a long-shot posting on a thread that is a day old, but it is my only chance of getting in touch.

Are you there BigMac?

[lysander]

Good morning Gen2
I sent an e.mail to you at7.11am on Momday morning.I have been having trouble with network connections so this may be the reason.It is just as well I declined your offer as the problem keeps occuring.I hope this reaches you as I would not want you to think I had ignored your request to get in touch
Regards Lysander

[gen2]

Lysander, Your email still hasn't got through.
Maybe you could try resending, but this time send it to googlmail.com
Past experience tells me that both get through (and I tested it again today my sending two emails from another account) but that may depend on which service you are sending it from.

I stand by every Saturday morning from 8:30 so intermittent internet connection is no problem - I just post it for you if you can't manage it.

Please try again

[BigMac]

gen2

Have sent you an e-mail. Do I post directly to the site, or through you?

BigMac

[gen2]

Thank you BigMac.
Email received and replied to.
You have saved the day.
