Mm Links Results June 2013 Week 4

[gen2]

Round 4 of this month's game has now closed and I can reveal that Manx Queenie's chosen links were:

SPRING CHICKEN
SNOW FLAKE
STEAM TRAIN
COUNT(ING) SHEEP

Again we had three links discovered very quickly and one that lasted much longer.
See below for the details

We had a new player this week, ANDRES. Welcome to the game andres but please be aware of our rules. (The setter always chooses link words that are from 4 to 8 letters in length.)
Better luck next week.

The first to score was Ulysses100 - and what a scoreit was!
The first 4 players failed to score but Ulysses100 then claimed SPRING CHICKEN, SNOW FLAKE, AND STEAM TRAIN for a total of 6 points.
I had to restrain Manxiemo who wanted to congratulate him right away but now we can all join in.

***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
****** ONCE AGAIN ******
* * * * ULYSSES 100 * * * *
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***

Nobody else was within the two-minute bonus window for any of those though many later picked up singles.

The final link held out until 11:35 when relative newcomer Pixie373 suggested we COUNT SHEEP, which along with 'Steam Train' gave her 3 points.
Now I thought nobody would suggest 'count(ing) sheep' and told the setter so, but Middlestump apparently is also an insomniac thereby proving me wrong.


In summary, this week's scorers were:

6 ulysses100
3 pixie373
2 Handbaglady
2 seekeerz
1 Aquagility
1 CHRIS-Hewat
1 middlestump
1 patchett
1 x-ray


And not surprisingly, the leaderboard has a clear leader in Ulysses100 who was sharing the lead last week with Cliffyg. Unfortunately, Cliffyg failed to score this weekend.

The top of the leaderboard now looks like this:

14 ulysses100
8 cliffyg
7 Aquagility
6 Strix
5 Brenden
5 pixie373
5 seekeerz
4 CHRIS-Hewat
4 Handbaglady
4 owllady
4 roslyn251254
4 x-ray
8 on 3 points
6 on 2 points
7 on 1 point



Well, there is still one more week to go this month and with a maximum of 10 points available for any skilful (or lucky) player, it is still possible for Ulysses100 to be toppled.

Will it be you?

Find out next weekend,
Until then,
Same time (Saturday, 9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking

Thanks for that, Gen - and for keeping me in check when I wanted to rush and congratulate Ulysses 100! Well done, Pixie, on getting my fourth link. You've only been in the game a short while but have obviously got the hang of it!
Come on, the rest of you - still one week to go to discover how my mind works!

Oh fat chance of that happening, Mo, but at least I'm getting there !!
