MM & KM Links February 2008 [Week 1]

[gen2]

This being the first weekend of the month, we have a new setter for the MM Links game and welcome King Fordward to the throne. He nearly backed out after winning the January game but was finally persuaded to set the links for you. Although his work means that he cannot always be available to post at the specified time, his introduction and chosen words will be posted by myself at the usual time.

King Fordward is also out this evening so is unlikely to visit the shrubbery tonight. However, the shrubbery is open for the rest of you to scheme strategies, ponder possibilities and muse on the mechanisms of the male mind. Strix, ulysses100 and particularly Magyar managed rare glimpses into the mind of Pauline last month, but who will be able to fathom the mind of King Fordward? Will there be any clues in his preamble? Will you be able to spot them if there are? Will a virtual alcoholic haze help you to get on his wavelength? Only time will tell.

As usual, the bonus points will be there for the taking as you nurse your hangovers out of the shrubbery at 9:00 am tomorrow and remember that King Fordward's thread will be opened by gen2 at about 8.45 in the morning. The MM Link Game should then be officially launched when the four words to be linked are posted at 9.00am. Then it is up to yourselves.

The international version of this same game is called KM Links and kicks off at the unearthly hour of about 06.30am! Look out for seekeerz from Oz who provides the entertainment, refreshments and rule of law when dealing with that parallel game. In this case, the choice of words and their links are out of our control. They are the grey words chosen by Kate Mepham in her Crosswords in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and Monday!

Have Fun.

A quick hello and a goodnight. Sorry to miss you Pauline, but having an early night as I, too, am off early (for me) in the morning, but hoping to post as I leave the house.

Ford Prefect wasn't he an outer space hitch hiker?
