Results from HQ for February 2012

Pengy Reporting from HQ
The abacus has been rattled ... vigorously with enthusiastic gusto!
Until it smouldered with flying sparks!

There's only the two indivudual battles now in this great war between two great armies.
And the fighting was as ferocious as ever!
Still .. less of the ramblings of a senile penguin, and onto the deadly important victory determining final stats.

The Challenge
The USA fielded 27 courageous troopers .. and my beady eye spotted a few new enlistments wriggling under the wire and scampering onto the battlefield. I miss nothing.
USA nabbed 6621 grenades to stash in their arsenal = 47.4% of the war spoils.
The UK & Co army, also of 27 diehards grabbed 7352 war goodies = 52.6%
The UK & Co army won the February Challenge battle by 5.2%

Hmm .. I say, my American buddies that's not so bad. Not good. A defeat is a defeat, true, but not shameful! It was a riproaring good scrap with only 5% of the spoils of war in it but those old empire builders are tough to beat ... though as we all know ... it can be done.

The Survivor
This is where the food scraps from the smorgasbord now get requisitioned as lethal missiles creating dangerous skid patches.
The USA romped home with a collective 3410 points = 37.2%
The UK & Co dominated and vanquished the enemy ... bagging 5749 points = 62.8%
The UK & Co won the February Survivor battle by ... gulp ... 25.6%

The combined result AKA Who won the war? ...
The USA = 42.3%
The UK & Co = 57.7%

The Uk & Co won the February war! By 15.4%
A quick rifle through HQ war history stats tells me last month, January 2012, it was an annihilating 32%.
Hah! My American friends are turning the tide .... starting to reel in the UK ... and not before time either else they'll start to believe they're invincible. Come on USA ... I'll dance like a cheerleader on the sidelines .... but not in one of those flouncy, skimpy outfits ... just my tuxedo.
I feel a pengy prediction coming on. Yes ... soon the USA will return as conquerors.

Time now to shake out the victorious Union Jack ... and go hoist it proudly up the flagpole.
And as this has seemed so short and quick , before jogging off (in my tuxedo) to the new months battlelines I shall dust of the thrones and wax lyrical for a while in reminisce of February's scrap.

Crowning Champs Day. February 2012


Dusted off ... plugged in and set to gentle massage mode!
Our hi-tech throne for out champs. Champ. One.
Fabulous and surely now famous jules44 ... will you please take a bow and come on up and claim your reward. A fishy hug from moi! Two in fact! One for winning the Challenge and one for winning the Survivor. Yes, sadly, there is a penalty to pay for been such a supreme champ.
Well done too for the top scoring and closest generals from the opposing army.
A round of applause for hammerdjh ... top American challenger the Challenge and who came closest to deposing our Queen of Quiz, jules. And Clamking ... top American in the Survivor. I confess here dear Quiz Queen that at one point I thought Clamking had you beat ... was going to trample over you and steal victory. The Americans are very good at some of those more obscure questions so I'm wondering just how long jules will be able to hang on to her Survivor throne.

We have new Invincibles to stand in awe of too .... fearfully and sycophantically cheering, as the evictees clamber down from Mount Olympus and the newly honoured bungey jump to live for this month on the lofty ledges.
Demoted and reduced down to mere mortal status are twosleepy of the USA and flopsy and strum of the UK & Co. Bet that won't last long ... and a word about strum. Well done .. this pengy salutes you for having got up there so fast!
And speaking of speed and fast work .... All Hail Anton! He's proving pretty Fearsome. Already he's scurried up the trenches and gained Invincible status .... along with Dr Gas and martin cube who've reclaimed their old homes on the lofty heights.
These fabulous , best players are our new reigning Invincibles ... and remember ... fear them for they are Great.

And an unusually short list it is too. Shorter than usual. A moments quiet contemplation whilst I figure out why tells me this is due to an influx of cracking good players ... new recruits or returning vets who are joining in the fight. Watch out ... take care Uk & Co ... your days of undisputed reign might be drawing to a close.
Do you know warmongering and inciting patriotism is hungry work, so time to visit the smorgasbord where it's arguable whether Qmel's kind provision of frogs legs will enable the USA army to run faster ... does that rate as a performance enhancer? Indeed, do martin cube's beans on toast? Will either priovide added impetus? I'm rather partial to muching beans on toast. Very nice thank you martin. Don't forget the brown sauce.
