MM Links Solutions July [Week 1]
16 Answers
This first week of the reign of Queen Christiana has gone remarkably smoothly ~ in spite of gremlins at the launch. However, I happy to reveal the chosen Link words of Christiana (aka Jackie) and they are:
Far THING
Out HOUSE
All ABOARD
HALF Life
Quite a mixture from the inclusive "All Aboard" to the radioactive "Half Life"!
But who among you won the points?

The ring-leaders of this riotous bunch were noticeably awol and we look forward to their safe return with mixed feelings!
Some really inspired predictions appeared in the first postings, and Alibobs cried �ALL ABOARD� after only a minute�s play ~ (very) closely followed by freebi with exactly the same link. Each qualifies for a bonus Point to be among the first of the two Pointers.
Within 60 seconds, ex-champion rogerr returned from the OUT HOUSE to score another Two Points with JMR27 (a future champion?) in her 2-minute wake to pick up these Two Points as well! You may recall that rogerr (aka Barbara) was our first (and female) MM Champion who also obtained the highest score at the end of the second month. However, she gracefully declined to return so quickly and has set a precedent! (Read on)
Almost five minutes later, last month�s MM Champion gen2 entered the fray with both FAR THING (very devious) and HALF LIFE (very scientific) to score FOUR Points and making him �Hot Shot of the Week�. All this is academic since the earlier precedent protects gen2 from such an early return to the MM throne!
Scoring thereafter occurred as a gentle trickle!
League Table (at this early stage)
4 Points gen2
2 Points Alibobs, freebi, JMR27 & rogerr
As many as ten others picked up a single point in a difficult first Round
This was an excellent open(ing) game for Christiana and I think, on balance, more �waving� than �drowning�!

Well done all those 'loyal subjects' who scored in what I admit was a round with endless possibilities. Next week, as Crofter says, I will present slightly more limited choices - I make no more promises than that!. Congratulations to Gen 2 for picking up on some of the very vague clues in the original posting, though I was a little surprised that no-body came up with 'all thumbs', heavily clued, I thought, when I spoke of fumbling on the keyboard. Was that a red herring or what!
I'm beginning to enjoy my new status, though I rather like the term QC someone referred to me as. Will have to be careful or I might get quite despotic!

I typed this before but couldn't post it so hope it doesn't appear twice.
I'll keep it shorter this time.
Thanks to Christiana for testing our brainpower. Congratulations to the winners, and last, but never least, thanks to Crofter with his trusty abacus.
PS. All those wishing to join us in the Freefall Club contact Sarumite on his return from vacation. There are vacancies galore.
