MM Links Game Results Oct Week 5

[gen2]

It is crunch time. October has come to an end after 5 weeks of competition and the result is a very close call as you will see below.

I can now reveal that Morgan Le Fay's (aka euphemia's) final selection of links were:-

PRIZE MONEY
FRUIT COCKTAIL
CULTURE SHOCK
LAKE DISTRICT

Some of those were popular, others less so. See the details below. . .

[gen2]

After welcoming professorplum13 to the game last weekend, he was notable by his absencence this week. Haste ye back professorplum13.

First to go was LAKE DISTRICT seen as a priority by Paulineward as player #2 for 2 points. Middlestump was in time for 2 on this as well. Bothe these links were very popular with later players.

Player #3, Rockfordill then astounded himself with CULTURE SHOCK. Tearinghair and Aquagility were within two minutes, all for the 2 points.

Just 9:04 and Slaney decided she fancied a FRUIT COCKTAIL for t points. Later, only Mrs Ont-Ice agreed with her.

Then, when I had almost given up on the final link of PRIZE MONEY, it was discovered at 1am on Sunday by Kettledrum.

I have no hesitation then in acclaiming:
****HOTSHOT OF THE WEEK****
******** IS KETTLEDRUM ********

This week's scorers were:

2 Aquagility
2 cliffyg
2 kettledrum
2 lysander (just one minute too late for bonus points on both links)
2 middlestump
2 paulineward

1 JimJools (Mrs)
1 jobjockey
1 joto
1 mirandasmum
1 Ont-ice (Mr)

Congratulations to "Regal Roslyn".

Thanks to the scorers and other participants.

THREE whole points for me - a triumph (compared to other months)!!

[gen2]

And may I be excused for the following plug:-

Please watch out for the launch (on Nov 1st) of the fifth HotPot Quiz in aid of Kirkcaldy Art Club.

This year's theme is 'Flowers of Scotland'. 100 challenging cryptic clues.

Tune in around lunchtime on the Tuesday 1st Nov. for the details.

Thank You.

[kettledrum]

Thanks Gen2 & Morgan le Fay. It's a very long time since I last scored points. What a lovely surprise to be Hotshot of the Week!

[tearinghair]

Thanks Morgan le fay and Gen2.
I've been away for the last two weeks, which may be why I don't appear on the leaderboard, but I think I had 2 points in week2, Gen2, to add to this weeks 2.
Lookig forward to the Hotpot quiz.

[gen2]

You are correct Tearinghair.
If you notice, you are totally missing from the final leaderboard.
You accurately appear on my spreadsheet with 4 points.
I did a single copy/paste to the AB Post and on there you are missing - I cannot explain how one just line could disappear from the middle of a pasted list.

Please accept my apologies - you are on 4 points for October.

[tearinghair]

That is weird...If I believed in Halloween I'd say it was the gremlins at work!

[twix123]

Thanks Gen2 and Morgan Le Fay for an interesting month. It seems to be becoming a habit with me of only scoring on the last week of the month!

[middlestump]

Thank you both and good luck Roslyn.
Without wishing to cause offence, I hope the digits in your screenname aren't your vital statistics :-)

[gen2]

I prefer to think she was a Christmas baby Middlestump.

[middlestump]

I'm sure you're right, Gen, but it's not such an amusing thought ;-)

[roslyn251254]

Yes gen2 is correct - I am a xmas baby!

[rockfordill]

Hi Roslyn

Many congrats on being top scorer for the month and I look forward

OPz in your bio sketch ??
