Crowning Champs Day

Yes ... it's that time again when we all fall to our knees and honour our top players.
The thrones are plugged in ready and gently vibrating to ease our champs aching muscles.

Challenge Champ & Mogul Maximus .... there's a smoky track of footprints worn into the red carpet leading upto the throne .... thrones , I mean thrones ... two of them. Dearest jules .. your numero uno fan (that's me) humbly invites you to come on up and rest your weary limbs... our Challenge Champ
Our Top USA Challenge player was mos623 but even he could not defeat the mighty jules! And our Daily Dervish was jules44#1 with 15 wins
Top USA Moguller was Clamking#6 .. with most Daily Wins jules44#1 with 16 victories.
Do any of our new American recruits have the nerve and skill to take on our deadly undefeated Champ. Shall I throw down a fishy gauntlet on jules behalf! Why not? Go on Rage .. I dare you to pick it up. Why do I pick on you? Because you're looking pretty impressive my friend. I have my bandages ready! Let's just hope the infamous Pengy Kiss of death has not just been evoked.

Titanasaurus Rex .... and we have an Amercian hero! And more ... he is a first time winner. Johnny, join the ranks of the Greatest and come on up and wriggle into your throne.
It was a good fight last month .. for a moment I thought Anton would stamp everyone into the ground ... but the moment passed ... and it was not to be.
All hail Johnny! I shall, of course, bestow on him a friendly Pengy hug.
And next ... aw ... a hug for our Top UK Titan .... Steve-e who I'm chuffed to announce is also our Daily Dervish with most Daily Wins .. totalling 8.
Well, I can brag but there is a downside to this .. steve-e attained Invincible status and climbed the airy or even eyrie Olympian heights. Hmm ... no chance now for him to thrash the colonists into submission then.
Can Paper aeroplane ... now a branded Invincible (demoted) ... help lead the UK army to another win? But watch out for Rage ... latest new American weapon of mass destruction. I can forsee fame and glory for him.
I see him/her on the Challenge battlefield .. I swizzle my telescope ... I see him/her slithering nimbly under the Mogul guillotine ... I say, is this a lucky fluke? I sigh and I peep at the Titan battleground .. and there he/she is again. I grin and peer down hopefully into the Survivor Pit. And he's not in there....YET
Oh Rage ... I shall be watching you!

Sole Survivor .... this was a a closely fought win.
Or as Quiz Beagle wisely proclaimed ... closer than a gnat's whisker! Hey I like that Puzzle Pooch. Very good.
And so .. will miffy42 please shake his gnat's whiskers and come on up , claiming his throne to become our latest Sole Survivor
It was an all UK final. Piranha dined well on Amercian fast food ... but it wasn't fast enough. Our Top USA Player was WorldB#4 ... undoubtedly the best ever Survivor to elude the Pit and Piranha.
Most Daily Wins went to my spiffy miffy42 with a total of 8. Another whiffy fishy hug from me to you there for that.

And now we revere our new Invincibles ... the top ten troopers from each army who sprinted to success in the Challenge. I like to mention this every now and then so newcomers know how to attain hero status.

The USA Invincibles
Fear them for they are great

And there was no change! A bit of shuffling around on the narrow ledges but no one was evicted.

The UK & C0 Invincibles
Fear them aswell ... for they are great too .. and they led the UK army to victory!

#6 dippo
#7 magijoh1
#8 markswood
#9 Steve-e ... a new resident who sailed up in a hot air ballon.
#10 martin cube


paper aeroplane was evicted ... but ... no ignominous toppling off the ledges for him. He dive bombed straight over to the Titans and has impressed me by aleady snatching the lead! Good work there .. I'm thinking this one is going to be a glorious gory battlefield this month!

And finally.... my favourite bit.
Top Mop
Who hurdled through the trenches to improve their ranking on Mays result? Who is my TOP MOP and needs a blast of my fire extinguisher on their smouldering hot little feet?
I invite moomin from the UK army to come and take the well deserved MOP crown. And I furiously clap my flippers ... this is the second time my friend. You also won the title in July 2009.

My beady eyes slide up to the row of flying flags ... hmm ... only one Stars & Stripes to be seen.
But my psychic radar tells me to darn the moth holes and wash and press more flags ready ... for I suspect this months 4 battles will bring change!

Results from HQ for June 2010

The UK & Co won Mays war ..
But the USA have been sneaking in new recruits ... yes they have! Did you think you could sneak past my beaky nose? Nope. I saw where you wriggled under the electrified fences.
So ... did these new crack American troops manage to swing a win? Restore American pride?
Let's see ... I'll unroll the war stats from HQ ... I pucker my lips (beaks can't pucker) ... and

The Challenge
The USA army fielded 29 troops, grabbed 6792 points = 49.4%.
The UK & Co fielded 30 troops, snatched 7205 points = 50.6%
Lizzie Windsor just ran up the flagpole at Buckingham Palace with a Union Jack!
The UK & Co army win the June Challenge by 1.2% .. a measly margin .. (last month they won by 4.4%). My American buddies I admire your courage ... you reined them in , but alas not enough.

The Titans
The USA army fielded 10 troops this time .. mmm ... I thought I spotted some new brave souls skirmishing amongst the Titans. These 10 nippy little diehards bagged 1476 points = 45.6%
The mathematical minded are already ahead of me aren't you?
The UK & Co enlisted 14 fearsome woad wearers, who snatched 2456 points = 54.4%.
The UK & Co bionic battlers won the June Titan by 8.8% ( I shall whisper this next bit ... that in May the USA won by 0.8%)
Oh dear my American buddies this is not looking good.

The Mogul
The USA limboed under the 60 second guillotine and snatched 2970 bonus goodies = 41.2%
But ... the UK & Co slithered quicker, faster, better and in bigger numbers to grab 4250 = 58.8%
Another win for the the Old Empire!
The UK & Co have a convincing win for the June Mogul, by an awe inspiring 17.6% ( but in May it was a staggering 28%.. so take heart USA, now go grab them by the heels and nail their hides to the totem pole in July!

The Survivor
The USA avoided Piranha's menacing jaws long enough to stockpile 3325 points = 45.7%
The UK & Co avoided the Pit long enough to amass 3945 points = 54.3%.
The UK & Co win the June Survivor by 8.6% ... in May it was 9.4%.

So what can this canny tactician named Pengy deduce from all this?
Overall the UK & Co army won the June war by grabbing 54.5% of the arsenal.
The USA only stashed 45.5 %
That's a 9% win for the statisticians amongst us .. last month it was 10.2%

So I ponder : Are the UK & Co army truly unbeatable? The absaloute best on the planet? Will the next rulers of planet Earth one day chance upon this inane blog and revere and diefy the Great Old Warrior Gods ... The UK & Commonwealth?
Afterall they won all four wars in June.
Another fanciful thought.. yes, I'm capbale of consecutive thought on a good day: But's it also true that my American friends took longer to hammer into the ground. I know you're tough but is resistance futile I ask myself? But with these new recruits can they hope to thrash the UK & Co? The USA's weak spot is the Mogul ... and I'm impartial else I'd offer to stick velcro to the UK's cloven feet , lasso their legs with spaghetti ... grease the Mogul guillotine super speedy fast when I see those islanders coming... but I can't because I'm a pacifist and I adore all humans ... and besides, I love a good fight!
So less yabber .. and more refereeing. I shall shrug into my combat jacket and jog over to the battlegrounds.
Have fun my friends! Remember ... the fun is in taking part ... not winning (but what fool said that!)
