1FF Grandstand

[markpvfc]

A good second place by team Kournikova to go with first last week in the golf.

 

[Spirederman]

Very pleased with this morning's outcome. Despite losing out on several drivers we only really put in serious bids for Rosberg and Vettel. We always wanted Hamilton, and were confident Grosjean, Perez and Maldonado were capable back up.
Perez under achieved IMO, but still scored points.

Have to admit though that Kournikova's line up was a real worry.

 

[Techno Natch]

Yeah disappointed with our points total but happy to take second in the end.

 

[Spirederman]

Just so everyone knows we didn't fluke that and we had the idea of who we wanted all along (Already had Grosjean at this point) I'll give you exclusive access to the Kahn PM..........



3 that I think we should place bids on in later groups are Maldonado, Perez and Sainz (Fastest in 1st practice).

Obviously not throw coins at them, as we need money for Lewis, Seb or Nico.

Spirederman, Friday at 9:1

It was 9:17pm btw but missed the end off!!

This week will probably begin on Wednesday night but will have to check a few things first so watch this space.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Good news: I'm not working Wednesday night.

 

[MagpieBee]

Very very tight.

How many events are there again Magic?

 

[Leewilson]

Haha, we're fucking awful. But still.....................IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER!

 

[Magic]

Very very tight.

8.

 

[Spirederman]

Joint leaders. Happy with that.

*Shakes hands with all team Kournikova*

 

[Spirederman]

Team Olina Kahnikova....

In cahoots since forever

 

[Magic]

Gonna upset people here but this week could be in a bit of bother. I'm out now tomorrow night and working Thursday/Friday nights. I'll try find a way around it...i.e. a game where I can leave you to it in your teams, or we work towards a midweek sporting event next week.

Apologies but it's hard to predict what my life is going to hold from week to week/day to day!

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Fucks sake

 

[Magic]

Crisis averted. We're on for tonight. Will be around the normal time.

 

[Veggie Legs]

As in Bake Off time.

 

[Magic]

And football time, yeah [emoji38] I'll try avoid fastest finger first stuff.

 

[Magic]

At around 8pm I will post a short piece of text in lines. The information will help you find the answer. You will not have to venture too far for these.

The first team to pm me with the full correct answer will win and the second, third etc.

Not sure how long this will take but that's the fun of it!

Yes it's cryptic but its meant to be. Good luck.

 

[Magic]

Joe first got off to a cracking start in his quest for glory.
Oh to be a fly on the wall of his great life.
His dulcet tones graced all around him.
And his peers wondered if he should be honoured with a change of name.
His critics would suggest they'd rather have him killed.
With his blood leaving his body at will.
But that was not Joe's style. He would dispel the dissidents and win the great race.
His search deep inside himself beared the fruit needed to succeed.



Ok good luck. Might be clueless at the start but once you get the idea it should get easier.

 

[Magic]

Each sentence is separate by the way. On my phone so can't tell if the lines are clear.

 

[Leewilson]

I never have a clue where to start with these.

 

[markpvfc]

Do the 8 lines need 8 answers or do they lead to one answer?

 

[Magic]

The answer is a two sentence verse.

I promise you once you get the first bit, you'll know what to do. I did say you didn't have to venture far...

 

[Magic]

I know it's not obvious people but if we'd rather have a quiz where everyone scores 10/10 then fair enough...

All this about the structure of the answer is irrelevant because the structure is clear when you find the first piece of information. Where will you find the information which makes up the answer? It's not in that post or even in this thread but certainly in the vicinity.

FWIW I wasn't expecting anyone to get close within an hour or anything. I created this idea so I could let everyone get on with it if I wasn't going to be around. There's no rush...

 

[Leewilson]

Just to confirm Magic, as you wanted each sentence separate, can we assume there are 8 pieces of information to collect so to speak?

Correct. The lines are clues to where to find pieces of the answer.

 

[Magic]

Think this week's game will be playing towards the Boxing Day test match at the MCG

 

[Oaf]

I bet this is how everybody felt with my riddles and things in NOTW. Not even sure of how to start to approach that

 

[Magic]

A few people are on the right lines but need to make the breakthrough. They are pretty gettable with a bit of effort. I'd rather see people struggle than walk through things anyway.

 

[Magic]

Gonna have to write this week off unfortunately. Just hasn't worked...it was a risk trying something different but it failed so there we go. Will try something more familiar next week.

 

[last request]

We've been discussing it in our PM, just haven't managed to get anywhere with it. What was the solution out of interest Magic?
