Saturday 27th December..or Ugh, had too much food and drink day

Union Jack

Hoisted by jules44#1

Top 5 allegiances 1. jules44#1 UK ...2. miffy42#2 UK ...3. Dr_Gas UK ...4. mos623#1 USA ...5. j2cp2#4 USA

3/2 for the UK & Co...and aw well done there Dr Gas...was it frightening fending off all those Invincibles? They can be awesome. Brave little trooper, that makes you my fave player.

I've been spying in the itty bitty little box at your comments...forgot to play? etc etc...this is a human euphemism right? It really means full of food or mildly intoxicated? Me, I've been to buy some new wetsuits. That's the pengy equivalent. However, pengy admires patriotism and is impressed by just how many loyal little troopers have shown up for duty. It could be crucial this month.

The Titans

Yesterdays titan terrificus was Deborah

Top 5 allegiances 1. Deborah USA ...2. bernie73 USA ...3. lg549 UK

4. StuHern UK ...5. dippo UK

3/2 for the UK & Co. BUT...yesterday Deborah swiped the lead from Stuhern. This is bad news for the UK team. There is more.

Now this next bit taxed pengy's minuscule atom sized brain...If the UK team were waiting anxiously for StuHern's return...start kneading them stress balls now..and knead them hard! He's not coming back just yet...he's only just gone! Know what this means....the UK team must make it their mission to waylay Deborah...kidnap...capture...do whatever it takes but try and hold her back! Form a shield wall ... do all you can to help your comrade-in-arms!

The Mogul

Yesterdays cleverest people mogul was jules44#1 UK

Well what can I say, except I do believe this fab little lady has led all month and she's not UK Invincible#1 for nothing. She's won the Challenge and the Mogul for the last 3 months....but not alas, the Sole Survivor. Huh? How can this be? It's down to a devilishly good American called WorldB#2.

So moving smoothly on....

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel plated top survivor was whee#5 UK

That's 2 wins this month for you! But today is the dreaded day when piranha comes for his nibbles and moi, dashes across the trenches beating my little chest, emitting gurgling little war cries. The nasty culling will start...

I had a peep at our finest, steel sheathed competitors who made the Final Frontier...and that isn't easy you know. Anyone who can survive this long is something special...au extraordinaire!

19 got to the Final Frontier last month…20 this month

tonight the first 4 will be piranha bait.

Current positions are...
1. briarwoodrose UK came 13th last month
2. mike32768#9 USA came 2nd
3. WorldB#2 USA won!
4. lg549 UK came 7th
5. Little_Heaven#3 UK Reached Final Frontier. Out last month on KO3

But let's not forget..we must always make time to be frivolous (no one takes this war seriously). And no one can be more frivolous than Fun Trivia, not even an inane dopey pengy.

I have often sat in silent amazement wondering who dreams up these FT prizes. I trawled the 4 battlefields checking out the worthy ones (that's all you in case you were wondering) and...only one prize has been grabbed this month. One! Only one!

That's the credit crunch I guess. So who was the fantastically lucky owner of this 1 prize?

StuHern...now has a...a...personal UFO. Yes, well...what can a droll pengy say?

This is what StuHern says in his profile...

At last, a UFO of my very own! Woo hoo!

Careful Stu....alien8 will want one!

3/2 for the USA..the little devils. They're fighting fit...and dangerous...and I've had a peep at HQ. I'm a happy pengy. If you're american you'll be happy too because you're winning on the Challenge. Why? Because you're better, tougher, faster and cleverer. By how much? Not a lot. A smidgin. If this was a mince pie you'd have 56% of the chewy fruit and rind bits. UK & Co only get 44% of the sugary stuff on the top. Heck I was wrong...that is ALOT! That's a 12% lead...UK & Co put away the rum and brandy butter and sauces and other tasties. USA...YOU ARE better, tougher, faster and cleverer.

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus titan was StuHern

Top 5 allegiances...1. StuHern UK ...2. flicker123 UK ...3. Deborah USA ...4. Qmel USA ...5. briarwoodrose UK

Two wins a row for Stu wasn't enough to snatch back the lead. Deborah was up there in third ....but...this means Stu is only 1 point behind. 1 point. Wow. This I like. Just a min whilst I swizzle my neck around to the battlefield for a look see...oh dear. My beak stays zipped.

So which fab team is winning?...This is my fave battleground this one. It's always so closely fought and full of shocks. Right.

If this were a christmas cracker....and you both pulled ...BANG!

The wickedly clever USA troops got the half with the little gift inside with 54%. That's pretty convincingly fought and almost as good as the Challenge battle. With only 46% of the points up for grabs the UK & Co get the funny hat and joke inside the cracker.

My my, this is not good ....would the USA team consider taking a day off?

The Mogul

Yesterdays super trooper magic movie mogul was jules44#1 UK

Oh I say...well done jules. And well done Deborah for moving upto the grand position of best USA mogul this month. Bet shadowzep will want that honour back. Now...the blue team is in big trouble aren't they?

The red team can stop smiling...the UK snipers have found your Achilles Heel. They are remorseless. They are beating you into the snow drifts. If this was a snowman....I hope you don't mind this imaginative drivel....if this was a snowman/woman (have to be PC correct thesedays)...the USA would have the head with the carroty nose with 47% of the snowy stuff. The UK have the body with a very comfy 53%.

Well done to the moguls from the little island and it's fab commonwealth allies! This mammoth effort and bulging sack of bonus points has almost pulled you back from the brink of impending disaster..

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel plated top survivor was miffy42#2 UK

This is interesting. More! Pengy is intrigued this month...I have to say whee is catching my beady little eye. Is WorldB going to be prised off his throne I wonder? Can whee do it? Yesterday piranha came for his snack and we said a fond farewell to shadowzep#10 USA ...julieanne123#5 USA ... Alien8 USA ...sparklingwine#10 UK ...demurechicky#4 UK ...bernie73 USA

And 4 of you mouthwatering little appetizers were Invincibles! This leaves 20 survivors who've bravely reached the Final Frontier. You are safe for awhile. Piranha likes a rest between courses.

HQ stats inform that the UK team have most snowballs stashed in their igloo ammo dump . In plain english (this coincidentally translates to the same in american english)..the UK have 54% of the yuletide log....and the USA only have 46%.

So..what does this mean, concisely put?

The Challenge...USA are leading so far. ( USA 56% - UK & Co 44%)

The Titans...USA are leading so far. (USA 54% - UK & Co 46%)

The Mogul...UK & Co are leading so far. (UK & co 53% - USA 47%)

The Survivor...Uk & Co are leading so far. (UK & Co 54% - USA 46%)

Pengy observation = UK need to get fighting furiously on the Challenge.

USA need to get fighting furiously on the Survivor.

Two battles each is nice. How fair can it get?..It's nearly christmas...

Except it's my job to tot them all up to see who's overall leader (this is war so we have to have one!)....it's the USA. Barak's Army!

But not by much...oh no, USA = 50.7% and UK & Co = 49.3%.

Don't ever underate fractions...

Talk of the Devil! Only had to remark he wasn't about...and it worked like an evocation! And well done to newcomer pthauwald for bagging goodies for the USA bonus point tally. This makes you my fave player...along with Deborah.

She's 5th in the mogul...in the lead on the Titan and in the top 25 toughies on the Challenge. Pengy's developing a soft spot for you! Be warned, this is not good, doubtless this flattery and acclaim will bring a run of bad luck..the infamous Pengy Kiss of Death.

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed winner was miffy42#2 UK

Again? Twice in one day? This is miffy in truly spiffy mode! Worse..he was languishing in the Danger Zone...flattened at the bottom of the pile in the pit.

He escaped! In one massive leap he jumped out and I'll have to capture him all over again!

The more observant of you will have noticed something today...that pengy, moi , is a incurable drip. I own up to nothing! OK, mia culpa! For those of you that haven't a clue what I'm wittering on about....thanks, you have made me feel loads better.

Ah em...back to sane talk.

Remember that near deserted place where tumbleweed blows about? Ice Floe City? That's it! The one the Titanic nearly capsized.

I'm curious to know how you're all doing with the annual christmas madness and mayhem. Pengy likes to share in these things....so pop over and chat away and let me know. I've made a little place where you don't even have to be a member..I'd love to see any piccies you have too of your trees and decorations....or any snow...yeah, SNOW...I love snow. I'm feeling festive. I've popped up a webcam of the northern lights there..I love watching them.

You'd have thought a penguin would have attracted some attention and at least have got on the news! Oh well, never mind. I'm just not meant to have celebrity status foisted upon me.

3/2 to Baraks Army. The titans is scary...dead close and I'm sitting on my kipper barrel nervously gnawing my flippers. So many good players. This throne must be scorching hot to sit on by now...each claimaint is getting tipped off.

StuHern has possession just now...by only by 2 measly points...just a min I'm nipping off for a peek...whey hey he's flying from todays flagpole. (ignore that..as I typed castortroy just bulleted past!) Wait until Deborah gets here! Super glue yourselves UK troops ....form a shieldwall quick ready for the red rush of american desperadoes!

Hmmm...no one on the titans has got all the answers right so far on this battle..no one has only got 1 wrong. We have one super duper clever, terrifically tough player who's only 2 wrong though. Guess who?

But I've had another wicked thought. You might see me patrolling the 4 battlefields with a sprig of mistletoe....guess what for! YES! As we all know..we don't know what gender I am too! This adds to the fun and spice! Well mine at least...half of you are in for a shock .

Message From Pengy

Hello all my friends.

Pengy has been having a few computer problems....I'm not now. It's broke.
This is bad news....pengy is currently on the mainland borrowing another dratted computer.
I don't know when normal service will be resumed...but thanks to Piranha and his clevers skills the war still goes on! So everyone must keep fighting!
I'm getting some funny looks from people here..it's not often you see a penguin typing away on a computer in public.
sorry about this my friends....I'll be back as soon as I can

3/2 for the american army! You've played for 10 days...time for pengy to raid HQ and see which ferocious fighters are winning...so far.

Remember in November the blue woad troops won the Challenge. This was devastating for the poor USA. Save your sympathy...Harden your hearts UK & Co..the battlefield is no place for sentiment...the USA have taken an early lead! YES! REPEAT....The USA are in the lead! Quite convincingly too..but I'm keeping the detailed secret stats top secret.

4/1 for the UK & Co. Heh..heh..pengy ,loving this one this month. Just peeped at the stats...oops.

Well. First...only one american has hoisted the flag...Deborah. StuHern has stamped a reserved sticker on the throne for a blue bum...his or markswood or martin cubes..hmmm...could be anyone.

I wait with bated fishy breath.

BUT...would you believe it...the USA titan team are in the lead! Only 8 enlisted and they're managing to hold the bigger army at bay. I say, pengy thinks this is very noble and brave. On the otherhand...this lead is not massive..(not as big as on the Challenge) and now Stu is getting tactical we could see the death blow been dealt by the merciless Stu and his cohorts. Team morale is good.

Pengy edict: All knuckle dusters have been banned from the battlefield and replaced with sprigs of seasonal mistletoe to prove we're all good friends.

The Mogul

Yesterdays cleverest sci-tech mogul was miffy42#2 UK

Congrats to my spiffy miffy for 3 wins in a row. And oh, did you all see Lacey graze under the guillotine in 60 seconds! Wow...that was cutting it fine...that's the fighting spirit risking life and limb. This is exfoliation par excellence!

Which team is winning so far?

Clue: I used to call them the whirling dust devils when they terrorized the opposing army. No...not them..the other side...the ones who've come back phonenix-like from the ashes and have stolen their thunder. USA you are in getting into big big trouble on this battlefield.

I wouldn't mind been a fly on the wall of their HQ...unless they set the SWAT squad on me. I know that was awful...but it's as good as they get and I take pride in maintaining my standards

The Sole Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed top Survivor was j2cp2#4 USA

Whew...j2cp2 averted a disastrous day for the USA and what's more in romping in 5th on the Challenge aswell he has to be my overall fave player for the day.

Enjoy the acclaim and praise for....next comes the bad bit.

The UK & Co are leading the Survivor so far....

This means..USA are leading the Challenge and the Titans

UK & Fiends...are leading the Mogul and Survivor...oh I'll just nip back and fix that typo....nah, no I won't. It's kinda apt.

Bear with me a minute ...If I rattle my sardine can it will tell me which brave army is leading overall.

This is the one battle the americans always win...well nearly always. The lead is changing almost everyday...the abandoned crown is lying on the battlefield just asking to be grabbed.

markswood snatched the lead off StuHern today who snatched it off him...who snatched it off..you get the idea?

No Titan has ducked and dodged through enemy fire and got all the answers right so far, diving in trenchs can be stressful you know. But 5 have only got 2 wrong...these are the toughies with nerves of galvanized steel.

Very good bernie73...you prevented the UK from winning everything in sight yesterday.

What's more you're currently the USA's top player. There's 8 players trying to climb out of the Danger Zone...6 UK and only 2 USA...and pengy is jumping up and down on their fingers as they try to get out! There's 18 UK and 16 USA still surviving...so unless things change and someone escapes the muddy place by Sunday night it'll mean the red devils will have weight of numbers on their side...and the triple champ is one of them. Right UK & Friends...time to get stern and stiff upper lipped and get and oil your joints or stick your fingers in the nearest electrical outlet before dashing onto the course...you can wet them first if you like. (pengy retracts this advice on Health & Safety grounds and will accept no liability for personal injury claims.)

Just jogged over to the mogul smorgasbord...no nibbles? A tear is welling in my eye.

markswood and castor troy are already tussling over first place. But hey, this the reigning MOP we're talking about. And a few top americans can only cheer from the lofty heights of Olympus. Sneaky hey? Pengy is impartial.

The Moguls

Yesterdays super fab sci-tech mogul was Pix UK

Well done there Pix..and the times are getting flipping quick. Can I just pat shadowzep on his shoulder.....almost 3 wins in a row there...blame Pix! And ah,....a sad pat for Lacey and cyberhen. Just 1 measly second out and beat by the guillotine!

I have a confession..so early in the month aswell, unbelievable isn't it? But the urge was too much to resist. HQ stats declare the UK & Co have already stolen the lead . UK 570.... USA 400. My oh my...what a shocker.

The Survivor

Yesterdays titianium alloy winner was miffy42#2 UK

Yes...this means the UK & Co team won on all 4 battlefields....

11 staunch, brave troopers have already been dragged down into the Danger Zone...8 UK & Co and only 3 USA. I'm doing my bit to help you there america.

So how goes todays battling so far....pan around with my telescope...no, that is not a $100,000 NASA tool bag I see speeding like a comet across the Challenge course,...it's mos623...and on the Mogul wow! Little Heaven (how almost apt) has rocketed in at 14 seconds. That will take some beating. Ah...Stu is clinging to the Titan flagpole....but castor troy isn't far behind. Think he's going to be the american to target and take out ...snipers sight your weapons!

And the Survivor? Ugh...movies...can be a right stinker but hasn't slowed down Pix...Pix is in peak form just now...pengy is impressed.

Right, time to nip over to the Danger Zone with my bucket of tasty scraps from kind Qmel...it's eggs benedict..no salmonella, promise, I packed it in ice.

It's Crowning Champs Day
Forget those horrible old wooden thrones with splinters. Getting speared
could hurt our revered champs.

So pengy's been shopping and invested in some electronic luxury massage chairs...so they can unwind and ease their aches and pains...and well, look a little like a dalek! But with panache and flair..nothing tacky or tawdry here.

Challenge Champ....will jules44 come on up and test out her new throne. Sink into that lovely upholstery, can you feel the inbuilt massage function?...But don't mess with any of the gizmos or switches ..or you could rocket off Olympus faster than a malfunctioning missile.

Pengy is perusing the manual...translated from chinese...still reads like chinese to me.

Mogul Maximus....will ...oh...right, it's jules. So will you jules44 gracefully and effortlessly wriggle over to your next hi-tech throne. What's that thing sticking up on the right arm for?
Titanasaurus Rex...will, wait just a minute....will everyone cheer riotously here for julieanne123 as she comes to claim her crown. Well done julieanne...it was a tough battle for a while. Ryaman was in the running but you snatched victory and now you're an Invincible...aw, and there's more inspiring news. A whole host of dangerous USA Titans also become ineligible this month. Know what this means? There's going to be an undefended crown up for grabs for anyone brave enough to fight over it.
Sole Survivor.....will WorldB wave to his fans and please come on up and take his throne. He's good at this. Out of the 5 battles fought he's won 3 of them so far.

Next beneficiaries of pengy's munificence get a pengy hug...aw.

These are the daily dervishes who won most days..who scampered up them greasy flagpoles and repelled all attempts to dislodge them.

The Challenge ....jules44 with 11 wins...

The Titans ....scubscott with 9 wins.

The Mogul ...miffy42 with 9 wins.

The Sole Survivor...miffy42 with 7 wins.

Well done scubascott..and for becoming an Invincible too. Extra hugs for you...I confess I feel a sense of kinship with you. Both of us being wetsuit wearers.

USA Invincibles..fear these more now..for they have a mammoth task ahead of them. Leading Obama's Army back to victory.

BB1...Surrealist and PDAZ...well, vanished some time ago. Abducted? Deserted? Taken some leave? But anyway, julieanne123..scubascott and ryaman didn't waste the chance to become national heroes/heroines and claim their perches on the lofty heights. That's it...the missing Invincibles got blown off in a strong gust of wind!

Now to the bit that pengy likes best....MOPS. My little proteges who I cheer madly for. Who were our Most Outstanding Players? Who improved their rank..

Top Mop or fondly known as pengys fave....markswood...come on up and have a pengy hug AND a super , ultimate luxury throne. Is it big enough for two?

So many of you have done so well pengy is chuffed...and a little humbled.You're all so clever. If your name isn't here...ah, you either haven't played long enough on the Challenge or oops...you slid down the rankings and need a higher protein diet.

PS. pengy would just like to express speechless wonder at shadowzep's cracking start on the Mogul yesterday. .I did wonder what the smell of burn was.

Time for some serious refereeing now..so I'll sling this usual chinese manual in the kipper bone bin and get too it smartish.
