Mm Links Results July 2013 Week

[gen2]

Another month draws to a close and you'll all be wondering who from the close-bunched pack finished up as champion.
You'll have to wait a bit for that. First I have to announce this week's links.

King Ulysses III, aka Ulysses100, was looking for the following links:

TOOTH FAIRY
MISSING LINK
TREE FERN
FAIR WEATHER

Who still believes in fairies? Who was still searching for the missing link? Who were the fans of James Dickson? and who was a fair-weather friend?

Find out below.

A good ration of points have been doled out this weekend to make up for last week's dearth.


Roslyn 251254 immediately exited the free-fall club with TWO hits.
MISSING LINK and TREE FERN (4 points)
Deecee131 and tearinghair were also in time for a bonus on the fist while owllady claimed a bonus on the second.

The 4th player, decee131 was also first with TOOTH FAIRY with beejay1124, Brenden and cliffyg also professing their belief in time for a bonus.

Whilst several players were being pessimistic with their guesses on the last link with suggestions such as 'stormy', 'freak' & 'foul', it was optimistic Strix who claimed it with FAIR WEATHER.


From then on only single points were on offer but a couple more double-hitters were amongst them.
Even better than that, we had a TRIPLE_HITTER, so

***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
* * * * C L I F F Y G * * * *

In summary then, this weeks scorers were:

4 cliffyg, deecee131 & roslyn251254
3 tearinghair
2 beejay1124, Brenden, grannydi, jobjockey, owllady & Strix
1 baza, Christiana, lysander, patchett, pixie373, Psybbo, seekeerz & wickedtongue


Which when added to the leaderbord give the final positions for July as:

11 tearinghair

9 x-ray

8 cliffyg, deecee131, Manxiemo
6 Elspeth, owllady, Strix

So,

*** CHAMPION FOR ***
****** JULY IS ******
* * * TEARINGHAIR * * *
** CONGRATULATIONS **

I now have to choose a setter for August. Since Tearinghair set them just 9 months ago and with just a single point separating the runners-up, I see one player's name standing out.
X-ray has NEVER yet set the links (according to my records) so I therefore offer him the honour of being the next setter.

**** THE SETTER FOR ****
*** AUGUST SHOULD BE ***
******* X - R A Y ********
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***

Because x-ray has never been a setter before, I do not have an email address for him.
I therefore ask you x-ray (or anyone who can assist) to contact me on my usual address of:

All manner of help and guidance is available to every setter.


Until next weekend then,
With a new setter but
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking

Many thanks King Ulysses and Gen2. I didn't expect to be on the right wavelength this month - must have been inspired by the family's visit from USA.
Good luck x-ray for the links-setting next month.

I've done better on MM this month so thanks Ulysses and gen2 andy congrats to all the other clever points scorers. Looking forward to x- ray being in charge !!

Congratulations to all of the point scorers, and I wish x-ray all of the best for their upcoming stint.
