It was a cool evening at Como, the day following a monster heatwave, and there were seven gamers to play Sherlock Holmes <\/em>and Greed<\/em>. Nicole was the only absentee, but perhaps we’ll see her in April. My apologies for the marauding doggie called Daisy who usually gives everyone a good sniff then takes herself off to bed – I think this time the smell of popcorn was the reason she continued to sniff. Eventually we used the gate that normally deters her from sneaking upstairs to confine her to upstairs instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scoreboard shows that Matt<\/strong> has finally come to the end of his winning streak by scoring a WHP. His phenomenal February winning margin has now been reduced from 175 to a more digestible 50 points. This reduction is entirely due to Tara<\/strong> getting a double helping of points by coming first and second in the main and backup respectively. So now there is Matt<\/strong> still at the top, with a 50 point gap to Tara<\/strong>, then a big 125 point gap to the rest of the pack. It was good to see Pete<\/strong> win Greed<\/em> – I believe that’s his first win since his rookie start last year. Wayne<\/strong> and Genelle<\/strong> both scored placings in Sherlock<\/em>, and Louise<\/strong> was the only other WHP apart from Matt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Genelle<\/strong> took us by surprise with her announcement that she might have to consider resigning due to the possibility her family commitments might make it hard to get to games, especially when it’s her turn to host. There were unanimous howls of protest that it should be possible to work around the situation, and we hope those protests will cause her to reconsider – we don’t want to lose Mother Theresa<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally – the champ WHP!
