Mm Links Results August 2013 Week 3

[gen2]

This week's game has now closed and I can reveal that 'Baron Brian' (aka beejay1124) had the following links in mind for you to discover:

VICTORY ROLL
CROWD PLEASER
STIRRUP CUP
TROPHY WIFE

Wow! I didn't realise how many of you valued being or having a TROPHY WIFE. Fifteen of you earned points for it anyway.

Other results follow below:

[gen2]

Three links were discovered in the first minute of play.

roslyn251254 was first with TROPHY WIFE, followed within two minutes by Strix, middlestump, seekeerz, Christiana, rockfordill & ulysses100 for 2 points each

Strix then performed a VICTORY ROLL in formation with cupid04, ulysses100 & kawakiri for their two points.

Tearinghair and Christiana then collected 2 points for being CROWD PLEASERs

The final link proved really stubborn and wasn't discovered until Kettledrum came along 12 hours later with STIRRUP CUP (Where were you Strix?)

The hotshot was difficult to award this weekend with no fewer than SIX double-hitters, three of them on full points. Excuse me if you think I am taking the coward's way out but I am going to award it instead to the discoverer of that most elusive link.

***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
*** K E T T L E D R U M ***
*** CONGRATULATIONS ****

To summarise:
This week's scorers were:

4 Christiana, Strix, ulysses100
2 BigMac, boxtops, Brenden, cupid04, kawakiri, kettledrum, middlestump, rockfordill, roslyn251254, seekeerz, tearinghair
1 baza, cliffyg, Elspeth, evsajo, jobjockey, lysander, owllady, pixie373, Psybbo, twix123

which when added to the leaderboard give us a really interesting CROWD bunched at the top where any one of them could take the TROPHY next weekend. Who will get a taste of VICTORY?

8 tearinghair
7 pixie373
7 Strix
6 Brenden
6 rockfordill
5 cliffyg
5 evsajo
5 Psybbo
5 roslyn251254
4 Christiana
4 lysander
4 ulysses100
8 on 3 points
10 on 2 points
3 on 1 point

Finally, let's wish Elliemay1 a Happy Birthday - - - CUP cakes all round.


With regard to my comments last weekend about the rules: There were no strong feelings expressed and so I shall continue as at present and advise setters to avoid people as answers. You should therefore avoid them as suggestions.

Until next Saturday then:
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
Happy Linking

Wow!! Thank you for the accolade Gen2. How lucky for me that there were too many high scorers to be able to choose one from among the really clever people. There are occasional advantages of being an almost permanent member of the Free Fall Club!

Thanks baron Brian and Gen2, and well done to all scorers particularly the double hitters.
