Mm Links Results January 2014 Week 4

[gen2]

The final round of the January game has now closed and a tough one it was too.
'The Lady Radley' was expecting you to provide the following links:

LOG BOOK
CUCKOO CLOCK
EASTER LILY
POINT DUTY

Some did, but many didn't, so who were the lucky few and who finished on top?

Details follow:

[gen2]

First blood went to Strix with his CUCKOO CLOCK for 2 points, thus raising him onto the January scoreboard.

Ten minutes later, Brenden claimed both LOG BOOK and POINT DUTY for 4 points. A remarkable feat in a game where points were so hard to find.

The final pairing had to wait until mid-afternoon when Onty (Mrs O) suggested an EASTER LILY.

I find it strange that in the lowest scoring game of the month, FOUR players (Brenden, Kettledrum, Owllady and Strix) who had previously failed to score, all picked up points to register on the scoreboard. Too little too late I'm afraid.

This weeks lucky scorers were:

4 Brenden
2 Onty (Mrs O) & Strix
1 Elspeth, evsajo, kettledrum, Onty (Mr O), owllady, SHAZZA-Hewat

So, for the outstanding feat mentioned above, I declare:

***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
* **** B R E N D E N *****
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***


When added to the leaderboard, we see there has been no change amongst the top positions

The top three are therefore

8 roslyn251254
7 boxtops
7 seekeerz

*** THE CHAMPION FOR ***
***** J A N U A R Y IS *****
***** ROSLYN251254 *****
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***


Now of course I have to select a setter for February.

Roslyn is an old hand at this with three previous stints as setter.
Seekeerz has previously challenged you twice.

But BOXTOPS has never been setter before and I am sure Roslyn and Seekeerz will not mind if I offer the chance to a novice.


**** THE NEXT SETTER FOR ****
**** FEBRUARY SHOULD BE ****
******* B O X T O P S ********
***** CONGRATULATIONS *****

Because boxtops has never been setter before, I don't have her contact details, so I am relying on you Boxtops to contact me on the following address:

grytvikengen2
(at)
googlemail.com

As much help as you require will be available so no need to worry.


It is now time to say a temporary goodbye to 'The Lady Radley' (aka Handbaglady) who has done a great job introducing and setting the challenges for you throughout January. Thank you very much.


Lastly, for those who want to know the grizly details, here is the final January scoreboard.

8 roslyn251254

7 boxtops & seekeerz

4 Aquagility, Brenden, cliffyg, kawakiri, middlestump, rockfordill & tearinghair

3 deecee131, Elspeth, jobjockey, Onty (Mrs O), SHAZZA-Hewat & CHRIS-Hewat

2 cupid04, evsajo, grannydi, Onty (Mr O), Psybbo, Strix, twix123, ulysses100, wickedtongue & x-ray

1 baza, elliemay1, kettledrum, Magyar & owllady


The scoreboard will now be wiped clean in preparation for February's challenges.
As always, anyone is welcome to play.

Will Boxtops be generous with her links? or will you have to fight and scrabble over slim pickings?

Find out next weekend.
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking

Well done everyone & very much looking forward to boxy's links next weekend!

[pixie373]

Thanks gen and lady radley. I'm off to have a little cry...

[Brenden]

Thanks gen can hopefully throw the wooden spoon away this week.

[gen2]

You weren't alone Pixie. There was at least one other regular player (eg BigMac) who failed to read the fiendish mind or our 'Lady Radley'.

[cupid04]

Oh dear, nil points tonight, must try harder next week. Congratulations to all the point scorers. x

[tearinghair]

Well done all scorers in Handbaglady's fiendishly crafty links! And thanks to Lady Radley for aforesaid links and to gen2 as usual.

[Psybbo]

Congratulations Roslyn and thanks to The Lady Radley and Gen2

[seekeerz]

So feast one week, famine the next....Congrats boxy and all the points scorers.

Thanks to Lady Radley and gen2, looking forward to a new setter with boxy

[boxtops]

Thank you Gen2 and the Lady Radley - I accept the baton with trepidation, since this will be my first time - but I look forward to setting, next week!

Gen2, I've emailed you. :-)

[Psybbo]

Looking forward to your links, boxy, congratulations, I have to warn you, Gen2 is a tough task master :-)

[Handbaglady]

Congratulations to those of you who managed links during January. I'm sorry scores weren't higher. If I reach the top of the leaderboard again and I am the chosen one I will have to try harder to make it easier. Well done Boxtops, good luck with your challenge links for February. I look forward to competing again but I have enjoyed being the setter again. Thank you Gen2 for all your hard work and assistance.
