MM and KM Links May 2009 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Here commenceth (my new dentures theem to be very looth ~ Joke!) the third week of the reign of The Serene Steffie, entertaining her Fellow Linkers in that lovely country she calls "Home". I wonder what aspect of life in the southern climes will come under her scrutiny for this week's investigation, now that the sunstroke and over indulgence in sea water are mere memories.

[crofter]

Speaking personally, I feel that each week we are privileged to read her latest account of life down under. Steffie, aka seekeerz always seems to be able to bring her unique style to our Link Games and gives us all a chance to get a glimpse of the real person behind the moniker and to get a taste of the life she experiences in Australia. So far, each week seems to bring few points and this week may well be in the same vein. However, don�t forget that this is a five-week month, so there is still plenty of scope for each one of you to excel.

I look forward to seeing you all ready and waiting for the new challenge when the launch opens at 08.45 tomorrow, before the MM link words are disclosed at 09.00 (sharp). There has always been a rush of early entrants in the opening five minutes of play ~ and many bonus points are picked off during this vital period! There are some �new kids on the block� who are looking sharp and streetwise, so you�ll have to stay focussed.

Just to demonstrate the versatility of seekeerz, look out for the sister game (called KM Links) that kicks off in the early hours of Saturday depending on whoever is first to solve the Herculis Crossword in The Daily Telegraph! It has been decided recently to adjust the scoring system here, so that it is NOT time sensitive. This version of the Links game attracts many entries and scores can be much higher. That truly international version of the Links Game is watched over by �the Hostess with the Mostest� in the form of ubiquitous seekeerz. She takes responsibility for keeping law and order, and seeing that fair play prevails. She will process each prediction and maintain the League Table for the KM Links.

Me? I�m crofter keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins and I process the predictions and maintain the League Tables for the parallel game.

Good luck for tomorrow, when you will have to tune into another round to take up the challenge of this latest phenomenal setter, The Serene Steffie.
