Crowning Champs Day

The USA won the September war. They won the August war too.
Will they make it three victories in a row?
Will the Uk & Co recover from such a battering?
But first we honour and cheer and applaud our new heroes. The Generals who undaunted led their armies into the fray.
Challenge Champ & Mogul Maximus ..... ah ... the upholstery and big squashy cushion didn't even have time to to get cold. Well .. two thrones actually. Doubtless our new double champ is contortionist enough to straddle two thrones but it is not seemly or dignified. So please ... jules44 will you take a bow and come on up and claim your crowns and rest your weary little legs. .. there might even be a foot massage in it for you off this adoring pengy.
Titanasaurus Rex ... She was the first ever winner of this much coveted crown ... and she's won it for the third time ... How does she find the time inbetween providing such mouthwatering morsels for the Mogul smorgasbord! Will Qmel ... USA mascot and trooper extraordinaire come and claim her well deserved crown!
That's the undiluted adulation done with ... she's attained the fearsome status of Invincible! Yes, this means not only am I scared of her .. it means sadly for her but a reason for others to rejoice .. she will not be able to defend her crown. Come on UK, here's the chance to remove the stain of dishonour and smash the USA army into submission. Pile in there!
Sole Survivor ... and it's another American. UK heroes rarely get to walk to glory on this battlefield. I will divulge a secret ... even Piranha is pretty impressed with this new trooper. Will Rage come on up and jump onto his/her throne. No offence intended .. I'm not implying you're dual gender .. I'm just a penguin and find humans difficult to differentiate, that's all. Honestly. Two wins out of the last three months is great stuff. Ah .. I can almost hear the future sagas that will be written about this feisty player. And all us other mere mortals will say ... yes, I fought beside him ... or her. Well done my human friend!

Check out the names ... a few new recruits are in there for the Americans and a returned vet.
Hmm ... UK ... I think you need to send out the carrier pidgeons, snail mail ... the lynchmobs .. and offer the Queen's shilling .. or whatever it is now with decimilsation. You're going to have to come up with something pretty good to beat this high powered onslaught.

Marskmen load your sniper rifles .. these are the leaders from both armies to take out.

And now for my favourite bit ... our MOPS or Most Outstanding Players ....
Absolute Top Mop
I have polished the crown until I can see my reflection, ah ... maybe not such a good thing to have done ...
It gives me great pleasure to invite twosleepy ... please someone give her a little nudge to wake her up..... to come claim your throne. It's the second time our somnabulist has won it ... and not many can boast that.

Name not on the list? These high performance related stats from HQ are based on your consecutive ranks from playing the Challenge quiz. Or perhaps last month you slithered down the ranks .. it was afterall, a very tough war!

Enough of the fancy words ... there are battles to referee ... splint and bandages to tick on the wounded! I'm hotfooting it off to the trenches and calling at Qmel's smorgasbord on the way!

Results from HQ for September 2010


Yes! That's my one man (pengy) hideout shelter.
And yes ... today I feel I need it. I have no illusions about my own bravery!
I shall just chuck a cushion in there ... report from HQ ... and dive in!
Results.
Painful for one army ... a source of rejoicing and worth declaring a national holiday for the other.
Let's get on ........
The Challenge
USA fielded 29 troopers and nabbed 8558 points = 55.7%
UK & Co fielded 28 troopers and swiped 6564 points = 44.3%
The USA army thrashed the woad wearers and won Septembers Challenge by an 11.4% margin
Lat month the USA won by 9%.
Pengy observation: My little beak has drooped at the corners ... oh the shame ...
Never has the USA army been so tough ... taking no prisoners ... stomping the UK into the gooey mud of the battlefield with no mercy. I know this to be fact .. I can see the foot prints on their backs. I blame these new troopers they've enlisted and the return of some experience war vets.
But .. that was only one battle and as we all know ... battles don't win wars .. though they help conserably of course. So I'll wave my referees taser and announce the next stats.
Ouch they're burning my flippers!
The Titan
USA fielded 8 troopers and nabbed 2405 points = .... = oh dear, = 62.5%
UK & Co fielded 14 brave national heroes and nabbed 2530 points = 37.5%
The whole of the UK ground to a halt then. The gasp of shock registered on the Richter Scale.
The magnificent USA troopers won the September Titan by (gulp) .. 25%.
Last month they won by 15.6%
This is getting serious!
The Mogul
The USA wriggled under the 60 second guillotine .. and very nice to watch too they were ... and nabbed 3350 bonus goodies = 45.7%
The UK & Co slithered better, faster and more nimbly and stashed 3980 points = 54.3%
Yes! UK % Co revenge! All is not lost but will it be enough!
The UK & Co army won Septembers Mogul by 8.6 %
Last month the UK won by 16%. Hmm ... bit of an alarming drop there then. I shall zip my beak and patter my flippers on the keyboard and move on as any good diplomat knows how to do when disaster looms.
The Survivor
The USA were very impressive and grabbed 4285 points = 54.%
Yes .. you already know what this means don't you? Piranha's diet consisted mainly of fresh food imported from the UK.
The UK & Co , neatly munched by Piranha, went down fighting and won 3625 points = 46%
The USA won Septembers Survivor by 9%.
Last month the UK won by 2%.
Right ... who gets to say it? Who other than the referee can say it without risk of personal assault or injury?
UK & Co you were hammered. Badly beaten ... annihilated. Humiliated. Had your faces rubbed in the mud! You are in big, big trouble.
I cast a longing wistful eye at my hideout ... a safe haven... will I be able to reach it before you've finnished reading this next line ........................... or 4
Overall on the four battlefields the USA grabbed 54.5%
Overall on the four battlefields the UK & Co grabbed 45.5%
The USA are Septembers undoubted, formidable champs! By 9%. Yes ... a whole 9%
Last month the USA won by a mere 1.6%
UK & Co are you doomed to be beaten again in October?
Pengy Law: Firing squads are not allowed. No one takes this war seriously.
And can someone please sneak some food to me from Qmel's smorgasbord .. I could be hiding in here for sometime.
