4/1 for the devilish americans.

Seems an awful shame I wasn't blogging on the two days that jules won. So I'll mention it briefly now..just did.

Yesterday the american cavalry led by mos charged in and almost trampled her....and this takes mos to 10 wins..tying with the UK General. Hey I say mos..that's a bit cheeky and daring...she won't let you get away with that you know!

There is more news...the Uk & Co call to arms is spreading...the jungle drums are pounding...get this you red devils...pollygw is back..whee is back..Oddly is back..teanana is back. Start trembling. Be afraid. Reinforcements are coming!

With not much fighting time left before Armagadden, Pengy feels it's his/her duty to stir it!

Some of you are well placed to bring down your nearest enemy..to grab a rank..to invade their trench and claim it as your own!

shadowzep USA....gird your loins....lg549 UK is after you!

paper_aeroplane UK...don't hit that ejector seat button...but you've trouble coming...julieanne123 and mike32768 USA have you in their sights.

dippo UK...run, you can't afford to trip or slow down because you have bernie73 and strnog1 hotfoot behind on your heels.

Take care goldbob USA... tisonlyme321 is after your trench.
pollygw ..there's an undefended trench above you....ryanknight's. Grab it!

And to Oddly....teanana and whee....brilliant! You are truly lucky...get busy hurdling those abandoned trenches and win valuable points for your army.

Hey I say..this is awfully exciting.

Did you know ? Two of you ..1 american and 1 UK & Cohort trooper are absaloutely fab...2 of you have only got 1 measly answer wrong after 29 days head-bending quizzing. You guys are the best.

magijoh1 UK

argentum USA

Pengy is cogitating here....this kind of first class consistency is deserving of some award..or even bonus goodies. I will think of this whilst basking on my ice floe...for the future..I have relatively slow thought processes unless a eureka moment strikes.

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus Titan was poolosopher

Top 5 allegiances ...1. poolosopher USA ... 2. Qmel USA ... 3. lg549 UK

4. dippo UK ... 5. bernie73 USA

poolosopher won most wins last month..after a tie-break with Anton. This month he looks set to win the crown....I'm plugging in your throne ready..unless the UK kidnap him. Bit drastic..but all's fair in love and war. Nothing in the rules against it...

The most wins is still wide open...so many fantastic troopers have scurried up the flagpole and hoisted the flag for their country. There's been no less than 12 different daily winners ..shows what a closely fought battlefield this one can be.

The Titans wear body armour you know...are still fighting hard and ....oh, this is a nasty spot.....

skipperdeedoo UK ... Alien8 USA and jacky UK are all fighting over the the same trench. I like this skipperdeedoo....infact I like anyone who's brave enough to shrug into the chain mail after seeing how tough it is here. Wear your bruises with pride...

Oops,..almost forgot. MarchHare007 keep bounding along with those super furry paws....ryanknight has deserted his trench and it could be yours!

Pengy applauds briarwoodrose as the cleverest , most consistently right Titan....with only 2 answers wrong in 29 days. No contest....no one else can match this...poolosopher comes next with 4 .

The Mogul

Yesterdays top movie mogul was Quiz Beagle#8 UK

The puzzle pooch! Paws again! Power to the pawed players! Power to anyone who managed to grab bonus goodies yesterday...only 14 of you slithered under the guillotine. Well it was movies, so what can I expect. Oddly streaked down the course and nabbed goodies on his first run. Good? Oh yes, I think so.

I think this is good too...pengy is waving his flippers in adulation,

yes! Adulation!

We have two star mogul players. After 29 days of running the gauntlet no one..just no one has got every single answer right. That would be sheer genius...but 2 americans have dazzled me with their superior intellect and acumen. I'm not grovelling..I'm just a simple little pengy you know and I'm impressed.

mike32768 USA has only answered 3 wrong..3 out of 290 questions. Wow!

WorldB USA has only answered 2 wrong out of 280 questions. Wow again.

Incase you didn't catch it I typed that with an american accent..

This has to make them my fave little humans for the day.

The Survivor

Yesterdays top steel sheathed winner was Deborah#2 USA

Ah...what a crime that piranha culled her in KO5.

Only 4 of you remain to brave the fishy mandibles. 2 american-style piranha steaks and 2 Uk & Co style steaks.

WorldB USA ...our reigning Sole Survivor and four times winner

jules44 UK ... oh....survived longer. Shall I drape the Union Jack over the throne ready? Shall I.....or would that be tempting Fate?

scubascott USA ...anyone wearing scuba gear has to stand a good chance against piranha. Not related are you?

markswood UK .... Pengy announces a fave survivor player! This is fab...after been culled at KO2 last month markswood has to be the UK hero here! And mine too, it goes without saying,

And Pengy wants you all to win...

But then piranha would go hungry and we can't have that so I'll grab my harpoon and go help fuel the piranha picnic.

3/2 for the USA....but the top two troopers were UK! Well done to MarchHare007...and not forgetting lg549 and briarwoodrose who are running a two-leggedy race..fighting shoulder to shoulder and racing to catch Qmel and poolosopher.

Gee..life can be unfair sometimes..I mean pool has his hands full trying to fend off Qmel. Is this team work or is this a dash for personal glory? Are you getting nervous pool...just a tad?

Er...don't look over into the Survivor pit that's all a compassionate pengy can say.

With only 3 UK & Co in the top 10 I fear the sidebar is going to awash with stars & stripes next time around..so let me see now...if things stay as they are..and you bet they won't! But if they did who will get a place of honour in the top 10 on the sidebar..who's crept in..brave souls

Anton USA new in this month
castortroy USA new in this month
twosleepy USA new in this month

All red devils...whew...this is a backlash from last months defeat. But..should I whisper to Anton or not that if he becomes an Invincible he can't run riot on the Titan battlefield next month. No, let's be sneaky. Let's see if he reads the blog.

The Mogul
Yesterdays top music mogul was Deborah#2 USA

She's got a stick of dynamite strapped to her this month...and she matched her own PB. This makes Deborah my fave player...

But pengy is getting anxious here...Come on UK & Co, yesterday there was 3 of you in the top 10 and today there was one less. Yikes...start battering your way in! This will bring fame ..yes, getting to sit in the sidebar. Congrats to three super fast troopers who've already fought their way in...and have to try and stay in now. I speak of ...

markswood UK new in

Well mike32768 and j2cp2 are veterans and already feared but I'm waving my flippers for markswood. There is a good reason for this other than inane idiocy.

Fave player! Yes, another, but I don't care. Pengy's perogative.

Unless this bestows the infamous pengy Kiss of death ...Markswood is set be an Invincible again....is in the top 1o Magnificent Moguls...is still alive and so far clear of the sticky Pits edge in the Survivor. To a simple pengy this is stupendous stuff!

Speaking of which...

The Survivor
Yesterdays steel sheathed top survivor was Qmel USA

Oh..and today is the start of Armageddon...today I have seen piranha circling, despite cat brat's and Qmel's best efforts to brutally clobber him and turn him into a gastronomic mouthwatering treat.

j2cp2 USA.... poolosopher USA and dippo UK are in big trouble....soon to be piranha edibles...but it is not too late to escape. Not with ryaman and

briarwoodrose sliding so close to danger....
Time to waddle over there and defend the edge of the Pit pronto.

And I have to beat my little pengy chest with my fists ..yesterday eve's winner was trooper2196 ..and I'm not letting it pass without a pengy public declaration of magnificence. Just a moment whilst I rummage in my tuxedo pocket...there you go trooper .

Just peeped over the parapet and noticed swotty is back! Swotty for the UK..yay! pengy is cheerleader remember..and has already warned of impending disaster..all UK leave is cancelled. Every point won could be the lifesaver.

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed top survivor was julianne123#10 USA

That totted up to 2 wins each..on the 4 battlefronts.

I'm feeling magnanimous just now...so to my friends in the Pit..Good Luck! I will not come around with the basting brush just yet. The americans are already piling in and nabbing the safer, top spots at the top of the table...can't have that...will need to wing a few of them with my harpoon. But cat brat63's on gaurd duty on the edge of the Pit...aiding and abetting escapees. nothing in rules against that....

Only one player has got 10 right so far today..unusual...are the questions a tad hard? It hasn't stopped bernie73. And to think he's already been culled. It's spooky and uncanny how many of you do so much better once you're out. Must be less nerves..less pressure...and just more wicked good fun.

Twizzle my telescope across the smoked hazed battlefields..and...good to see the Uk army out there..piling in for the fight..but ah, mos623 is flying from the flagpole...just wait till jules sees him, that's all I can say. There jules, that's put you on the spot hey? Oh..she's out front on the Mogul...ah I see, she's seen the 17 seconds and is psyching herself up right? Now the Titan is truly a free-for-all. Castortoys scurrying up the flagpole..is he going to hand it over to poolosopher later? Team tactics? And on the Survivor...well, bernie's still in the lead. Fave player! Fave player! Fancy going up against the toughest and standig on the top of the heap!

But my tummy is rumbling and needs attention and my nostrils are twitching at the lovely whiff of honey glazed ham. I'm on my way with my begging bowl catbrat!

It's horribly tough on the Titans this month..and I'm betting on poolosopher for a win! Yes! Hope the infamous pengy Kiss of Death hasn't just been evoked there. Even pool hasn't dared take a day off this time....don't blame him either. Wouldn't dare if it was me. Shaking off pursuit is hard when Qmel is hungry for a second win. No one's won the Titan twice yet you know. Cue Qmel...

The Mogul

Unranked? Not an Invincible...yet won two of the quizzes yesterday. Oh, this has to make him by fave player and besides I like his cheeky talk in the itty bitty comment boxs. Only 12 courageous moguls managed to slither under the guillotine yesterday...it's well greased. And mike32768 USA almost got decapitated...was deprived of bonus goodies but did you know after 22 days he has the distinction of only 1 answer wrong! No one else can match him.

Closest are briarwoodrose UK ... jules44 UK and magijoh1 UK with only 3 wrong. Psst..the devilish USA are still winning. Not saying by how much...

The Survivor

Yes ..I said UK. Come on jules...go for it! You haven't managed to win this one yet!

We had KO3 on Saturday..when piranha came and brutally devoured the victims in the Danger Zone..and very tasty they were too.

Congratulations to the 19 of you who survived to reach the Final Frontier.

But first I'm clapping my flippers for two of the tasty hors d'ouvres who got knocked out at KO3 but still got further this month...and they have the scars to prove it!
polaris was nibbled in KO1 in February...you lived longer...well done!
ryanknight's first attempt..very good to have got to KO3.
And I'd like to fondly pat the backs of you guys..and girls, though you humans all look the same to a simple pengy.
Markswood UK made it to the Final Frontier this time …went out at KO2 last month.
flicker123 UK made the Final Frontier..KO2 before.

Well done to paper aeroplane for managing to keep infront in the avenging horde!

How did the private duels pan out?

We had scubascott USA V paper aeroplane UK ..nice aerial and nautical theme there. 1 nil for the UK! The origami aeronaut won that one!

steve-e UK V Anton USA....hammered! Anton is lying dazed in his trench. 2/0 for the UK. Pengy is rattling his castanets! Every cheerleader has to have something to wave about.

Dr Gas UK was trying to elusive outrun kjc USA and he did it! But there's a cloud of 8 americans threatening to engulf him. Oh this deserves a medal..such daring-do. 3/0 for the UK & Co.

Isn't this good for UK morale?

I digress..I shall continue.

cat brat63 USA beat pollygw UK.....ah, how approprite. The USA mascot, defiant, undaunted...has given the USA something to cheer about. 3/1 for UK & Cohorts

argentum USA beat OldSpotPig UK....but where has our porky gone? No one...human or otherwise can afford to desert the battlefields this month. This will become relevant...later. 3/2 for the UK in the private duels.

LauraMcC UK...sundowner USA...dazedcat USA and glitterfairy UK were engaged in ferocious close hand to hand combat. So who came out on top there? 3 UK versus 1 american loner.

It was the one american. Well done dazedcat! This mammoth victory makes you pengy's fave player.

Now regular readers of this mindexpanding drivel will know that pengy leaks the stats from HQ after 20 days play..this to create panic and provide new incentive and a zap of adrenalin. But...I'm not waiting till Monday to instil terror....I'm divulging the dire news a day early this month.

Why?

UK & Co you are in big, big trouble...the pit is deep and dark and you'll have to metamorphosize into superman/batman/wonder woman/ spider man and all fantastic heroes incarnate to stop the enemy this month.

Challenge stats after 19th days play...big gulp..

USA have grabbed 57% of the points....you have to admit to sneaky admiration ..they're good..they're better than good. UK & Co you only have 43%. I shall say no more whilst you digest the scale of the mammoth task in hand.

I will move smoothly onto ...

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus Titan was Qmel USA

Yes! Our very first ever Titanasaurus Rex to win the throne last July..Qmel..is staking her claim and making a bid for the crown! No one is safe...not even team mate poolospher. lg549 has absconded for a few days..this leaves briarwoodrose and dippo to led the UK team onwards...

So what do the stats for the Titan say?

My eyes have gone all swimmy ...and tears are splodging into my shandy.

Less of the sentimental stuff! . Dire news. Again! And for the same Unfortunates.

USA have er....this is not a typo...61% so far of the points

UK & Co have 39%.

Oh dear, you're been thrashed. An observation..I don't think the americans have ever been so mercilessly tough..so unbeatably good..EVER!

What can you do UK & Co?

The Mogul
Yesterdays magnifico music mogul was jules44#1 UK

A UK win! Good. Fight to the bitter end! And I spyed Wilberforce Dumblebum is back. Doesn't matter where he's been..he's returned to help out the UK and what a fantastic return...scored bonus goodies on the first day back. This is what is needed..round up all those stray players. If you're gonna go down UK..go down fighting so you can still look Winston in the eye.

Mogul stats = USA have 2920 bonus points stashed in their arsenal.

UK & Co have 2420. This is 54% for Obama's Army and 46% for the blue team.

I'm going to shrug into my bulletproof vest soon..this news is alarming.

Pile in quick UK! This is the best quiz for snatching points quickly.

The Survivor
Yesterdays steel sheathed top survivor was WorldB#3 USA

That's 2 battle wins each yesterday...whew...so all is not lost UK.

Tomorrow (Saturday) will see the next cull, KO3, when we find out who is tough enough to reach the Final Frontier. Anyone who can always earns the admiration of this pengy....I know I could never reach it. ..and live to brag..

It's close at the top of the Pit too... trooper2196 ... cat_brat63 and Paper_aeroplane keep popping their heads out. A quick grab and they coild snatch the ankles of dippo and ryaman. They're awfully close to danger.

Scubascott and mos623 are slithering in striking range too...shall this pengy nonchalantly hop along there and tickle them? No..that would be fun..but too cruel!

Oh yes...HQ stats so far. Shall I be quick and painless? USA..you have 52%..UK & Co you have 48%. It's true...the USA are challenging Uk supremacy. They could neet their nemsis.

Fact: The USA are currently leading in all four quizzes.

Fact: The UK & Co's unbroken run of wins for the last 4 months is in jeopardy.

Fact: The UK have to do something drastic and quick!

Fact: Pengy is impartial but is thinking of applying for american citizenship.

Or maybe not...cat brat's mogul treat is navy bean soup....is that what I think it is? Haricot beans? Like baked beans?

So..here we go...impressive work Anton USA...dippo UK and Jazzrockfusion USA..and yes! Jazzrockfusion I noticed you sneak back under cover of dark to fight for your country! Come on UK..where are your recruits?
How's the trench warfare going? Any private duels? Is the earth round?
(actually I think it's oblate isn't it but never mind).
First there's scubascott USA V paper_aeroplane UK. A war between two Invivincbles ...that's always worth a ringside seat
steve-e#5 UK V Anton USA..a tricky one. Both dead good troopers and both handicapped by being pengy protegees.
Warning: Dr_Gas Uk is been chased down by kjc USA and it gets worse..there's a horde of more americans behind him.
Warning: You can run cat_brat63 USA....but you can't hide. pollygw Uk is hot on your catty tail! And there's a fair bit of backup behind her...
Argentum USA is on the squirly tail of OldSpotPig.
From the 58th trench things get messy.
We have a running battle between shipyardbernie UK ...LauraMcC UK .. dazedcat USA ...sundowner UK and glitterfairy UK. There's tons of casualties lying in abandoned trenches here...that means ranks and points up for grabs for the brave and the fearless and with Chip UK (nice with mushy peas)and LittleShe UK scrambling over the fallen there could soon be carnage here. It makes me wince everytime I hear the bones crunch. Just have to say here all our new recruits for both armies are putting in some fine results.

My fave player was LauraMcC...got a PB...romped home in 7th . Hmmm...promising..another pengy protege I think...along with skipperdeedoo.

Help needed for....dazedcat USA been pursued by LauraMcC UK and solan_goose UK. And where are the nearest american reinforcements? There are none. You're on your own dazedcat. Don't worry, I'll clamber through the barbed wire and booby traps and loan you my white flag!

Bit disappointed, I was sure I had you two for keeps. Still, never mind briarwoodrose UK and dippo UK dropped in to replace you. But don't despair...paper aeroplane and mos623 are within harpoon range.

I'm starting to get the urge to play quizzes myself...but not against you my friends, you're all too good. I just nipped upto the main site...how embarrassing I forgot my password and had to send for it. It's changed a tad up there since I last visited aswell.
