h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Another date for the Annals of the Telegram Game! Well done!

The All New, Telegram Game Results can be viewed at A17880474, while the Rolling Roll of Honour can be viewed at A17880906.

Any amendments required, please advise me.

Thank You, and please keep it growing. There are 13 members missing, some of Long Standing, and some Newbies who are high on the Leader Board to date.

I'll the scores in Lunar Fashion, and we are currently in 4/4, so full results next weekend.

all, some very impressive results, and Telegrams.

Since I don't understand how you count the vtes, I couldn't suggest any amendments, even if I wanted to.
But then again, I'd be stupid if I did, wouldn't I?

each person votes for their chosen Telegram, giving a first, second and third option.

First = 3 points
Second = 2 points
Third = 1 point

So if a telegram is given a first, 2 x second and a third, the total number of votes will be 3 + 2 + 2 + 1, = 8 votes. I then just sort them into order.

Each subsequent week, I just add the new results to the rolling result, giving a Total Score.
it seems fairest, unless anyone can think of a better way!

MMF

Well done, MMF

Looks good to me

Absolutely super! 3 Votes, eh? I'd better upgrade the quality of my grams!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1813449?thread=420590 we do have a space for the league table already allocated. Someone as recently as 2004 asked when we were going to begin using it.

I would have done, if I knew, at the time how to do it. Just seems easier to use My Space because then, if I make a mistake, which I do regularly, I can correct without looking like the utter that I am. Or at least it means that players are less likely to create over errors.

Could you put a link in then, for any newbies?

Will do!

And here it is.

Can you put the links on the telegram_sam homepage, Vestboy? It's much easier to look for them there than anywhere else.

Thanks MMF - and I see you're the first 4-week winner!

I don't have to wear this silly hat any more, thank goodness.

Congrats MMF
I knew this place when it was just fields.

Thank you folks. It is a shame that an unpleasant piece of news should give me first place.

I reckon it will be the only time.

But it just shows it is worth posting and voting.

Thanks!

Hello Folks.

Just a query, as I have been known to have mental aberrations in the past , but can someone clarify whereabouts the game is WRT the new 4-game plan.

My recollection is that the last 4-gamer was based on the Telegrams ULTRA, JOURNAL, UMBRELLA and CRISPS.

This makes the new 4-gamer telegrams CANDLE, LOTION, SLEIGH and TURKEY.

However, as I was adding up the scores for the update, I came across this:

>> Post: 910 - My votes for CANDLE (4/4)<<

Have I miscounted (wouldn't be the first or last time ) because if so I need to amend the results accordingly.

Many Thanks...

MMF

No, I guess this time it was me who didn't count right.
So this would mean we're at word 2/4 with POETRY, I think. Must have been one of my moments, I'm sorry.

Thanks, B'Elana. It's not a problem.

You know how often I get it wrong .

I just thought I might have started the new game too early.

Thanks again.

MMF

I'm glad I am the living proof that you aren't the only one getting things wrong.

Hello folks,

Just thought I'd advise you all that I have updated the Results thread (A1788090) and the Roll of Honour thread (A17880474)

Well done all of you. Most impressive results.



MMF

I hate to be a pain so late in the proceedings; but I think I've just spotted a typo. Can MMF tell me what a POTROL is please!
