KM Links Game - August week 2 Results

[seekeerz]

Good morning to all, trust the weekend has been a good one and now we get down to the nitty gritty of a new week and the various reactions to Kate's conundrum she has set for us this time around.

Hopefully, before too long, My trusty partner in crime will post the answers to that conundrum and then the fun will start - did anyone get any right ??? This week I like our chances, but with Kate, who knows.......................................??????

All will be revealed though, very shortly - more later S

[Aquagility]

I don't believe it, I truly don't - in spite of bonus points going left right and centre no-one actually picked 4 out of 4

Now for some analysis -

Maltese Cross, Afghan Hound & Irish Stew all departed in the first frantic flurry of two minutes, consequently Aquagility, seekeerz, Fibonacci & freebi2 all scored 6 points for 3 out of 4.

slaney was also in the 'first flurry' and scored 2 points for sticking with the Stew

dust, fur and feather had settled before JMR27 came in just after 8.30 with the final match of Emergency Vehicle [knew she'd throw in a sneaky one somewhere !! ] and that's where the bonus points went this weekend.

Still, a lot of points were awarded in the good guesses category- 3 points to each ulysses100, cliffyg, Jim [of Jim Jools] merched, Elspeth & brizzer

2 points went to lysander, sarumite, bridgenut, LaneyB, JRB, teacher1, Eiggam,ShazzaHewat, twosearch, David masterchef, wickedtongue, keyboardix, cpfcrosiel, Cleocima & Muzz

And rounding out the field, with one point each were Grenmus, chiefpanda, DizzyLizzie, rogerr, crofter, MalcolmR, devadiva, gen2, miss meg, ChrisHewat [reindeer stew ??] MeadowLane, Mr O, masterchef, cheshunt & barmit & welcome to you, barmit, - you're more than welcome.

Well that's how that little lot all panned out, before the comp gets too toey, I'll print this lot and come back with an update of the progressive scores....think a nice restorative cuppa might be the go just now....... back later S

[ulysses100]

Having had no mentions in dispatches for many weeks I must be on a roll now with points in both KM and MM games. How long can/will it last ? Well done to the early risers who managed to get the extra points for the few possibilities that were there. Until next time..............

[kettledrum]

Well I think I'm in the select little group that steered away from the obvious and managed to score no points!

[paulineward]

I'm with you kettledrum...nice little select group though isn't it? Well done to all who scored and those clever clogs who got 3!! Thanks again seekeerz....don't know why I bother!!!

[JoolsTwo]

I'm with you kettledrum - tried to be different and it didn't work but I got 3 on MM and Jim got 3 here. Can't do anything on my own. :-)

[Aquagility]

Perhaps we should start a new competition to find the most outlandish and original link suggestions.

[slaney]

Thanks seekreerz... hope your abacus didn't overheat !
Well done to all the high scorers.

[seekeerz]

oh dear, after the last 4 comments I'm almost too scared to post that update I mentioned.....but not that scared !!!


So after two weeks of August - Aquagility & seekeerz [now that's a worry, if ever I saw one !!!]
are sharing the lead each with 8 points

sharing second , also each with 6 points, are freebi2 &
Fibonacci a newcomer to our revelry.

Next with 4 points each Alibobs, Jim, Eiggam & twosearch

And with 3 points ulysses100, sarumite, merched, cliffyg, wickedtongue, Elspeth, cpfcrociel, & brizzer

however, the month is but young and as this weekend clearly proves, anything can and probably will happen.

very glad to hear that you are well on the mend, ulysses - shows you what the power of positive thought can do - all those healing vibes coming your way !!!

OK I'm out of here for the time being - will go and enjoy my 5.1 seconds of fame or whatever you like to call it, catch yp with everyone later, cheers Steff.

[seekeerz]

actually, that's not a bad idea, AQ - there have been some very inventive and/or imaginative suggestions made - they all deserve recognition

[Aquagility]

Well, well! What a fascinating situation, Steff. I'm almost tempted to cancel my holiday!

But, gentleman to the last, I must allow you your one and only (?) chance of glory. Just remember, you're playing for both of us.

[Alibobs]

Hi seekeerz,

I wasn't mentioned in dispatched for my Afghan Hound - although I think you may have given me a point anyway?

[seekeerz]

Sorry, Alibobs definitely not intentional - I have you scored for it and added to overall for total of 4 - muchos apologies, still somewhat overwhelmed by results !!
wish I could score some on your wavelength.

Dear Aquagility how dare you nick off and leave me at this crucial moment - I'll have no-one to blame if the wheels come off while carrying the burden for us both !!!! I don't know, MEN !!!! most unreliable species on the earth

[ps - when are you leaving ???] typical fickle female, gee I hope sarumite comes back on line soon, at least I can rely on him ciao for now S xx
