Mm Links Results April 2013 Week 2

[gen2]

This week's game has now ended and I can now disc-lose what 'STRIX THE DILETTANTE' had selected for his links.

He intimated in his introduction that he was being less abstruse this weekend and he kept his word as you will disc-over below.

NEWSPAPER
DRAWING BOARD
COMPACT DISC
RECORD PLAYER

These all found favour with several players so the points total was much healthier than ' the one we wish to forget '.
Details below:

Where was Roslyn261254 this week?

Middlestump wasted no time claiming both NEWSPAPER and DRAWING BOARD for 4 points.

Then the very next player, BigMac, also claimed a double for DRAWING BOARD and COMPACT DISC - anothe 4 points.

With the clock still only at 9:01, Rockfordill found the last link of RECORD PLAYER for 2 points.

Christiana and X-ray were within the bonus window for 2 points on this as well.

Points then reduced to singles, but many were claimed. Baza, Handbaglady and Regward were double-hitters but one player stands out as a TRIPLE-HITTER.

***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
***** B O X T O P S ******
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***

Strix would appear to be a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde character.
Last week, in his abstruse mode, Aquagility, Tonyav, kettledrum and Twix123 collected 2 points each and all failed to score this week.
This week, in his generous mode, 17 players collected 31 points between them.

The scorecard now looks like this:

4 BigMac
4 middlestump
3 boxtops
2 Aquagility
2 baza
2 Christiana
2 Handbaglady
2 kettledrum
2 regward
2 rockfordill
2 tonyav
2 twix123
2 x-ray
1 CHRIS-Hewat
1 Elspeth
1 evsajo
1 fordward
1 jobjockey
1 Psybbo
1 teacher1
1 wickedtongue


It is anybody's guess which side of his character we will see next weekend but maybe 'STRIX THE DILETTANTE' will give us an indication in his introduction. We can but hope.

Until next Saturday then,
Same time
Same place
Happy Linking
