Hoisted by jules44#2

Top 5 allegiances 1. jules44#1 UK...2. miffy42#2 UK...3. shadowzep#8 USA... 4. Stuhern#10 UK...5. jacky UK

4/1 for the UK .....only shadowzep nipped into the top 5 for the USA. Bet he's bruised and battered today! And a big well done to jacky ...grab your oxygen mask...yay!

Two new enlisters, or should that be enlistees?, did super good too. Welcome to paul6012 who romped home in 9th and lagrastar who landed 13th. These wonderous newcomers incidentally are both USA. Know what that means UK & Co? Go get! No prisoners. Just aim for total subjugation.

It's midmonth..no, it's way past midmonth and I had a rifled HQ for some stats.

Actually I rifled them on the eve of yesterday..but my naughty computer had other ideas yesterday. Is this problem particular to penguins or does it afflict the human race? Think tabbed browsing with the yahoo toolbar. Think the browser romping off and me clicking madly to close windows as they popped open. Final tally...43 windows open! This was all too much for a mentally challenged pengy. Pengy went to lie down for a nap.

But..the HQ stats...yes, them. Our current reigning MOP is dippo UK....but I kinda couldn't resist peeking to see who's playing well this month, climbed most ranks from last months final positions...yes, the tough little troopers who are getting better!

Here are the TOP 10 MOPS so far...the ones with bionic legs and sharp wits.

Don't pat yourself on the back if your name isn't here. You need to do some serious training. Or maybe not...perhaps you just haven't played the Challenge long enough..or are so amazingly magnificent and talented you simply just can't improve on your own genius!

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus Titan was polaris

Top 5 allegiances 1. polaris UK... 2. scubascott USA... 3. j2cp2 USA

4. MarchHare007 UK... 5. poolosopher USA

3/2 for the USA. ..and well done polaris, I do believe that's a first and you're a star. Wasn't that clever? Sadly, that is the summit of my wit...but kindly feel free to applaud my efforts.

I could be sticking my neck out here but I think I can safely dust off the Titanasaurus Rex Throne ready for ryaman to jump up on. Of course, this rash statement could evoke the infamous Kiss of Death.

The Mogul

Yesterdays brilliantly wonderful top history mogul was miffy42#2 UK

This is all getting too easy for you..I can tell. 40 of you ran the mogul battlefield and snatched goodies...40! Poor jacky fell foul by 1 second of the 60 second guillotine. Aw... hope it didn't hurt I do try to keep the blades well oiled.

UK troops sit up straight now..look alert...for you are still winning! Get this.

UK & Co have 3000 points..... USA have 2660 points.

I do believe you've cracked it.

Pardon, you little red devils... You don't agree? Is that war talk I hear ? Is the ground going to shake soon as you all hotfoot to try to take the lead? Will seismographs around the world go into overdrive? Is pengy stirring it? Is the earth flat? I wonder what they put in these cold remedies...but it's nice.

The Survivor

Yesterdays top steel sheathed winner was scubascott USA

And what a fab day he had on the battlefields. 2nd in the Titans and then in true killer mode stole glory on the survivor. And now he's off fishing....watch out piranha! I knew one day they'd send out an assassin!

Me, I'm happy...I have 3 Invincibles captive in the Danger Zone.

This I like.

Time to spin my telescope around the battlefields...Oh I say PDAZ is doing well on the Challenge...but Little Heaven has beat off the oppostion so far and is climbing the flagpole. On the Titans ryaman has played early..hm...a change in tactics...and it's working....he's getting busy fending off all other claimants to the crown. Mogul is movie day...your favourite hey? and Little Heaven...has a clone because she's wafted into the lead in her heavenly shift here aswell. Now that is genius..And the survivor? Demurechicky is in the lead. This is a magnificent effort to stop slithering back into the Danger zone if I ever saw one. Well done!

Right..I'm jogging over to referee now...need sustenance...detour to the Mogul and beg some sweet potatoes off cat brat and ingratiate myself with Qmel so I don't starve when she takes over providing the nibbles. ....please, Qmel...not haggis! ( A meaty mess encased in a sheeps stomach)
