Mm Links Results April 2013 Week 4
16 Answers
'STRIX THE DILETTANTE' has teased you all for the last time (though he may reap-pear at a later date) and brought the month to a close with the following links:
CHERRY PICKER (You know, one of those hydraulic hinged platforms for high access)
APPLE STRUDEL
PLUM DUFF (one of the plum-pest of puddings)
PRICKLY PEAR
A moderate score for players this week with two double-hitters and a clear winner for the month.
Details follow below.

Once again the strategy worked as she claimed CHERRY PICKER for herself and 2 points. Amazingly, no other player went for this option all weekend.
9:01 and the 5th player, BigMac (Possibly a Homer Simpson fan) opted for a PLUM DUFF and his 2 points.
Ulysses100, ManxieMo and Psybbo (the player formerly known as Sibton) were all in time for a bonus on this as well.
Ulysses100 claimed a double by also suggesting APPLE STRUDEL so 4 points in total.
The final link of PRICKLY PEAR was found after nearly half an hour by Kettledrum for her 2 points.
Thereafter there was a spattering of single points until 2unicorns came along at teatime to claim another double.
Of the two double-hitters. I have selected the first (and higher scoring one to be HOTSHOT.
***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
***** ULYSSES100 ******
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***
To summarise then:
This weeks scorers were:
4 ulysses100
2 2unicorns
2 BigMac
2 kettledrum
2 Manxiemo
2 Psybbo
2 roslyn251254
1 baza
1 cupid04
1 Handbaglady
1 kawakiri
1 seekeerz
1 tonyav
1 twix123
1 wickedtongue
Which when added to the leaderboard gives you . . .

The sad news is that Tearinghair remained pointless this month.
The good news is that BigMac managed to stay on top.

The full scorebord for April ended up like this:
10 BigMac
8 roslyn251254
6 Brenden
6 ulysses100
5 Boxtops
5 Handbaglady
4 Aquagility
4 baza
4 deecee131
4 kettledrum
4 middlestump
4 rockfordill
4 tonyav
4 twix123
3 cupid04
3 jobjockey
3 Manxiemo
3 Psybbo
3 wickedtongue
2 2unicorns
2 Christiana
2 cliffyg
2 Elspeth
2 fordward
2 grannydi
2 regward
2 seekeerz
2 x-ray
1 Chandamama
1 CHRIS-Hewat
1 evsajo
1 kawakiri
1 owllady
1 patchett
1 teacher1
That then just about rounds it up for April. There is just the question as to who should be invited to set the links for May.
Both BigMac and Roslyn set the links almost exactly a year ago and both are familiar with the routine.
I am going to be at my mother's for the next fortnight so need someone who knows the ropes to be setter as I will have reduced internet access.
I therefore elect outright winner BigMac to be setter for May.
**** SETTER FOR ****
**** MAY WILL BE ****

The last duty I have to perform is to thank 'STRIX THE DILETTANTE' (aka Strix) for the time and effort he has put into setting these challenges.
No doubt we shall be seeing him again in the future but in the meantime we relieve him of all official duties and he can return to his corner in the stables.
Will BigMac accept? I hope so.

And...thank you to Gen2 for all his efforts and organisation in keeping this strange game running.
Congratulations to all points winners and, particularly, to BigMac and I look forward to seeing his clues in May.
I will now retreat to some bran mash, a hay net and a corner of a cosy stable until summoned forth!
