MM and KM Links June 2012 Week [1]

[gen2]

The weekend that everyone has been waiting for with a couple of big things going on.

Forget the Jubilee, forget the Epsom Derby, I'm talking about our two Links Games - The MM Game and the KM Game.

A new month means a fresh start with the scoreboards reset. All have an equal chance.

[gen2]

In both games, four words are declared and it is your job to guess what real words will link with the declared words to make either a new word, or a well-known phrase.
eg. with ORAL declared, you could choose 'exam'. 'history', 'balm', 'past', or 'elect' to go with it.

You are trying to match the 4 link-words that have been chosen by the setter.

In the case of the KM links Game, The setter is Kate Mepham and the words are revealed via the GK Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturdays and Mondays.
One correct match scores 1 point, 2 matches = 3 points, 3 matches = 6 points and all 4 matches earns you a massive 10 points. Launched in Q&P by Seekeerz early on Saturday morning. Play anytome over the weekend before midnight Sunday

In the case of the MM Links game (Started in memory of Kate's father, Michael Mepham), it is one of our players who sets the links. This month, the setter is beejay131. His introduction will appear in Q&P at 8:45 am (as we haven't yet mastered the post-launch introduction) and the challenge itself will appear at 9am prompt(ish).
Early play gives the best chance of higher scores because in that game, each match is worth just 1 point but a bonus point goes to the first discoverer of each link and to anyone who matches it within the following 2 minutes.


Well, job done - 'The Shrubbery' is now open for the usual Friday-night socialising and frivolity.
Enjoy yourselves and don't overindulge on intoxicating substances.

Until tomorrow then - Happy Linking

Evening all. I wish it was as hot as last weekend!

[gen2]

It will be Pauline - except in England.

Hi, beejay. we look forward to your challenge and, hopefully, to a fine harvest of points.

[tearinghair]

will do my best to post in the first frenzied rush as usual, but may be late as daughter is in hospital unexpectedly and I have to feed her cat first.

[gen2]

Tearinghair:
Penalty for not playing early = miss out on bonus points.
Penalty for not feeding the cat until later = none.

[tearinghair]

True, Gen2, but I also have to be around just after 9 as food is being delivered for jubilee party and then go to hospital. I'm hoping to go at 8 and be back by 9. But as for bonus points - 2 x 0 = 0!

[paulineward]

Can you believe the twins are one today!

[seekeerz]

Ummm, hate to bring this up when all will be in bed, but just who is setting the MM for this month - deecee131 or beejay1124 ?? or are they doing a combined effort ?? or has gen2 been at the celebratory glass a bit early in the evening ??

[gen2]

Just pick two letters and add a number seekeerz.

You pays your money and you takes tour choice.

Actually the links will be set by your Godfather, Don Corleone himself.
