MM and KM Links May 2010 [Week 3]

[crofter]

We have now seen two sides of the charismatic “Sir Robin of Links-ley” (aka Aquagility) and seen two types of his scoring games (bountiful and skinny). However, our royal setter is multifaceted and there will be much more to learn about him! Be sure to be ready for action tomorrow morning, when his third posting will start at 8.45am ~ but he will declare his third set four words to be linked at 9.00am, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. However, do remember (with MM Links) ~ early hits gain bonus points.

[crofter]

You should also look out for the international version of this same game which is called KM Links and kicks off at a very early hour (which is difficult to predict precisely). Consequently, the timing of your posting is deemed to be irrelevant ~ only the number of hits you are able to register. The regular organiser of KM Links comes all the way from Oz and goes by the name of “seekeerz”. As I always say ~ “Why not chance your arm at both Link Games?” They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards.

I have noticed of late a steady flow of new comers, who are always welcomed with open arms ~ but don’t be too disappointed if you don’t experience instant success. We have all been through the same learning process and we form an international fan base spanning three continents.

Until I see you tomorrow ~ “Happy Linking”!

:o)

PS There's a Dragon Flying behind me ~ See below!

To all those who, like me, have yet to score this month or last, I offer these words of encouragement (paraphrased from Sondheim):

There's a point for us,
Somewhere a point for us,
Three or four or at least a pair
Wait for us
Somewhere.......

.....please?

Thanks crofter - good evening.
Who or what is the dragon flying behind you - surely not tearinghair.!!!!!
No - I guess you mean the long awaited quiz of that name.
Hi tearinghair, points seem to be more available on KM links - you and I are scoring on there .

[tearinghair]

There's no logic to it, is there, x-ray? Why should we get it right on one and not on the other?... I do love to try, though!
And I'm definitely NOT a dragon.

[x-ray]

regarding the dragon - have just seen Paulines post which was earlier (which crofter referred to).
Didn't mean you were the dragon Pauline - no - the dragonfly quiz

[Strix]

tearinghair, you have just answered the question that has been puzzling me for a long time about the MM Links competition.

It is, after all, pointless isn't it??!!

[Aquagility]

TIA, Pauline and crofter. Aq.

[tearinghair]

pointless, yes; futile, no!
