Crowning Champs Day. January 2011 Winners

It was a UK & Co win .... but who were the Champs on the 4 battlefields? And who were the stars? The most determined and dedicated fighters?

Challenge Champ & Mogul Maximus .... it's our fantastic, fabulous jules44! (again). She's unbeatable ...
Since this great war began in 2007 she's has only been beaten by an American 6 times. And it was the same great American General every single time. I speak of mos623 ... but where is he now?
He popped in last month .. and then left the field. Kidnapped by the UK do you think?
Last month our top American player was hammerdjh and he's currently their number 1 ranking Invincible. Hmm ... I think he's a he ... but can he ever dislodge jules?
This months new battle has got off to a cracking start with Rage taking an early lead for the USA ... ok jules .... the would-be-assassins are massing ...

Titanasaurus Rex .... will Johnny please come on up and take his throne. And a round of applause and a mention here for the whole American army ... the small elite crack squad led to victory by our new champ Johnny ....
Well done .... Johnny ... Qmel ... twosleepy ... BrerSchultzy ... Carolinaboy54 ... Blackdresss ... pamelab and LizHill. You did your country proud. Hold your heads high and be smug ... you've earned it.
Oh I say ... this month will be good. Only 4 fearless Americans have braved the Titan battlefield so far. Is that it? No more daring fighters wanting to enlist? Twosleepy has already taken an early lead ... and with Johnny scampering close behind in second place the UK & Co had better tackle them quick before they romp off.

Sole Survivor .... I've dusted the throne off ... ready for my spiffy miffy. Will miffy42 please come on up and endure a fishy hug and claim his throne. He's won it 3 times before aswell ... meaning he's the UK's most successful Survivor. However ... it'll take a bit more to match the best ever in tournament history .... mike32768 and WorldB, both Americans who have notched up most Survivor wins. And I miss WorldB ... where has he gone? It was all the fishy hugs wasn't it? Bit cloying .... my halibut breath was a bit suffocating.

But I'm not as Fearsome as these!

Eeee ... it makes your eyes water just gazing at them all perched on their windy ledges doesn't it?
Two of these leviathans were evicted .... Schoonie101 of the USA and Dr Gas of the UK ... so take care Titans incase they descend amongst you to create havoc in the trenches. If I spot them I shall jog behind ready to scoop you up and attach bandages and splints... for as we all know there is no one, just no one , more frightening than a demoted Invincible out to regain lost gory.
Oops ... I missed out the L ... that should have read glory not gory .... or then again perhaps not.

Last but not least I blithely move on to my favourite bit where I fondly brag about the achievements of my MOPS. AKA Most Outstanding Players.


Absolute Top Mop

Will LanaDale please come on up ... don't be shy ... come and claim your throne. Well done there for improving your ranking on December by 23 places. I have to say argentum was pretty impressive aswell with 16 .... but the worst bruised knees and legs worn down to stubby stumps from running through the battletorn war trenches still goes to our Lana. And wasn't that sentence a longwinded mouthful.
It's not easy playing these quizzes. The competition is stiff and it takes nerves of galvanized steel ... and understanding the drivel of the referee is just as taxing.

Back to the serious stuff .... the war ... which no one takes seriously ...
We all only come here for the tasty nibbles supplied by Qmel and now the undernourished UK team have their own dietician/personal trainer/food addict coach. .... the irrepresible martin cube!

My friends I shall scamper over to the Mogul and beg some crumbs and I shall see you there.

Results from HQ for January 2011

Did my American friends resist the might of the British army?
Is it possible for anyone to beat the British? And live to tell the tale?
Is Pengy sabre rattling? Of course ... and shamelessly, for I am only an impartial, simple, harmless penguin.

My bomb pod is dusted out and ready for me to dart in and hide.
But first ... hot from HQ ... who were January's war winner.

The Challenge
The USA fielded 29 players and grabbed 8807 points = 51.8% of the spoils of war.
The UK & Co army fielded 31 players and won 8164 pts = 48.2% of the soggy teabags out of Boston Harbour.
Yes! The American rebels won Januarys Challenge by 3.6%. And wasn't it a close run thing? The USA won this battle in December too by 1.6%.

But if you thought that was close .... wait for this next one!
In the past we've had results so close I could only just slide a kipper bone between the two armies. I'm waving a kipper bone here ... ready. You shall feel it tickling in a minute.
The Titan
The USA fielded a small crack squad of 8 players who stashed 6591 points = 50.03%
The UK & Co fielded 14 players who grabbed ... wait for it ... grabbed 6583 points ....
= 49.97%
How close can it get!
The fabulous Americans won Januarys Titan battle by the tinniest .... 0.06%!
Thank goodness my techno abacus can deal with fractions! That's 6 hundreths!
What a fantastically close battle and a well deserved win for the USA. ..... Just.
I'll just pause here to wave at these amazing American Titan heroes.

With the USA slightly ahead we come next to the Mogul.
Ah ... and I can see many scalps nailed to totem poles ... and as they waft about in the wind I can see writing on them. And it reads ......
Made In The USA.
The USA Moguls wriggled under the 60 second guillotine, shaving their scalps, and stashed 2640 bonus goodies = 36.6%
The UK & Co ... slithered under nimbly and grabbed an awesome 4570 points = 63.4%
It's all down to martin cube's isotronic nibbles! They worked.
The UK & Co army won the January Mogul by a massive 26.8%
And what can a garrulous Pengy add to that?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Can the Americans survive such a hammering?
With Stars & Stripes draped over my back I limp and hobble over to the Survivor battlefield.
The USA snatched 3715 points whilst eluding Piranha's jaws = 47.5%
The UK & Co won 4110 points before been devoured in the Pit = 52.5%
The UK & Co won Januarys Survivor battle by 5%

I'm rattling my abacus with excitment here .... enough to make my teeth rattle.
The overall winner over the 4 battles and winner of the war is
The USA = 46.5%
The UK & Co = 53.5%
The UK & Co win the January war by 7%
In December they won by 2%

Hmmm ... Pengy asks sadly .... where is WorldB? Where is mos623? Guys ... your country needs you ... and needs you now ... and needs you badly.
To the UK & Co I say ... you are fabulous! Yes it's true! Well done!
But will you sleep easy in your beds at night now ... for there is nothing more fearsome than a defeated American.
