[MeMyselfAndI]

How on earth do you work these out? They're impossible!!

[Kate!]

Some of these haven't been alternating vowels and consonants ?

[Shaun]

they're factually incorrect statements now

No-one? This is a theatrical direction, House left up stage



*MUSICAL FANFARE*

And as I am up-staged by the music we have reached the end of the quiz. Time to see how everyone has fared after that battle royale of missing vowels.

Just narrowly missing out on a medal position it's Shaun with 9 points, terrible luck, just another point would've got you to third.

Leading us into 3rd place, out bronze medalist is *Kate* with 10 points, a fantastic opening to Missing Vowels got you back into the running, and again, you could've taken a higher position with just a few more points.

Our silver medalist, due to blazing through the earlier rounds, is Livia with a very impressive 12 points, my connections just don't stand a chance against you sometimes, I do need to up my game :L Very well done to Livia.

But the winner of the second game of Only Connect, by sheer might and determination, is Marc with 16 points. Excellent performance by Marc, consistent through all the rounds, some points by skill, some by luck, and some simply by waiting it out (Livia may be bitter), you have taken the crown from GiRTh. 16 seems to be the score to beat these days!

• Marc: 16
• Livia : 12
• *Kate*: 10
• Shaun: 9
• Zee: 2
• GiRTh : 1
• Everyone Else: 0
• Cuda: -0.5

So, lets accumulate those scores with those from game 1 to see how you've all fared over the course of the past 30 pages!

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD

• Livia: 24
• Shaun: 20
• Marc: 18
• *Kate*: 17
• GiRTh: 17
• Zee : 2
• Everyone Else: 0
• Cuda: -0.5
• Smithy: -1

It's safe to say we have some really excellent quizzers amongst your ranks, and Livia may start suffering from "Always a Bridesmaid" syndrome if she doesn't win the next game :L

Speaking of the next game, I'd like to propose a format change, potentially. TiBB does enjoy it's games to be events rather than the sort of passive game I've been using, so I might like to host an OC tournament. In teams of 3, players would play against another team in 2 semi-finals and 1 grand final. This would of course need 12 players (4 teams of 3) and I'd need to get proper permissions and write up 3 new quizzes, but is this something you'd all be interested in? Or do you prefer the format we are currently using?

Of course, I could run the tournament as well as the current thread, having the tournament as a one off, it's all good!

Anywho, it's been a wonderful game. I'm currently in the process of writing more questions (I always am!) so hopefully the wait won't be too long before you get to fire up those neurons once more.

Join us again for Only Connect, the quiz that's so hard, it tells Peggy Mitchell to get out of it's pub. Goodbye

*credits roll*

Well thank you very much for the kind words

Also very nice to see people would like the tournament format, I'll get to writing and planning!

[Livia]

Thanks for the hard work Tregard. I'd be interested in taking part in a tournament... except I will be less available during the week than I have been owing to work and study. I'd like to think I could work something out though.

[T*]

Its over?! And I'm at the bottom... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
