Battleships X5_IMPOSSIBLE!

[pe'rigin]

Seeing how my last effort lasted all of one post.... try this one.


If you get this in ten, well I change my allegiances from Blue to Red and buy a season ticket at Southampton. What a horrible thought!

Here we go again, somewhere in this image is a Black-headed Gull.

Choose the square you think the bird is in!

New rule to apply, Dimitris and Teamsaint can only register their choice after the tenth go.


Good luck everyone.

PS. I know that there is a BHG aready there.

[Marcus Conway - ebirder]

Is it D10?

[mini-colster]

I'll try C4

[ayasuda]

How about G4

[Ian Hamiltan]

i,ll go for E7

[ayasuda]

Hmmm...C6

[jocateme]

New rule to apply, Dimitris and Teamsaint can only register their choice after the tenth go.
At least I'll have a chance with this rule! :brains:

Hi Jocateme, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yes, I did have 2 goes on Sunday and 1 yesterday (Monday). I didn't think I was the first to have 2 goes, but I'll leave it today so it squares it with you.

Sue.

[jocateme]

My guess is........... E4

My second guess will be E9.

João, are you going for E2?

Well, actually I wasn't thinking of E2, but since you asked, yes, that's my guess now! ;)

[jocateme]

Hi Jocateme, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yes, I did have 2 goes on Sunday and 1 yesterday (Monday). I didn't think I was the first to have 2 goes, but I'll leave it today so it squares it with you.

Sue.

It's OK, Sue. It's squared now! :t:

P.S. Sorry if I sounded rude or something similar, that certainly wasn't my intention.

[Sue Wright]

P.S. Sorry if I sounded rude or something similar, that certainly wasn't my intention.

That's alright then, I'll forgive you, but it's now Wednesday!;)

So E8 please

[pe'rigin]

Good morning one and all,

[dafi]

Morning all i supose i should have a shot so lets try A7 and see what happens

[pe'rigin]

Morning Sue, Dafi and everyone,

Well, you certainly gave that a good old broadside didn't you!

What you need is a fall-of-shot indicator, not really going to give you that today.

Ayasuda, come on let's have an American win.

Michael, it was a bit early for hanky-panky.

Dafi, spot-on, it's so easy to have answer.

You'll all boycott the next one, when you see the answer to this one........ouch!!!!!!!


P

PS; Dafi A7 is wrong as well.

[ed keeble]

I like the look of I9 although tempted by I10..so a shot at I9 if new players allowed at this stage

[teamsaint]

18...

[John Eaton]

How about D8, next to its mate?

[pe'rigin]

Welcome aboard Ed,

Sorry Teamsaint, (good luck against Derby).

Sorry John.

You will hate me with this one!


PS: Sorry John, I've just seen you are from Derby, I have to say it, good luck against the Saints, I did enjoy writing that.

[Sue Wright]

..so a shot at I9 if new players allowed at this stage

Of course you are Ed....after all, he'll need as many new competitors as he can get if he reckons we'll boycott the next one as well as hate him for this!!!:C :-C ;)

I'll try F10 please P....and pray!o:D It doesn't take up about 4 squares does it?????

[John Eaton]

Welcome aboard Ed,

Sorry Teamsaint, (good luck against Derby).

Sorry John.

You will hate me with this one!


PS: Sorry John, I've just seen you are from Derby, I have to say it, good luck against the Saints, I did enjoy writing that.

Guess we're not going to end up friends after this thread;)

D7 then I give up

[pe'rigin]

John,


If you beat Southampton, you'll have my undying thanks. You might even win this competition as a thank you.

Not D7, though don't give up.


No Sue it doesn't, no cheating allowed.

But remember I learnt my lesson with the Little Tern, so I would take my time with altering images.

[michaelmacey]

Is it J1? If we dont get it soon, the tide will drown em both!!!

[dave123]

j9 then

[ayasuda]

I'm just a simple California girl. B2

[teamsaint]

grrrrrrrrrrr.. I guess I'm just going to have to guess at every opportunity from now on.

H6

[dafi]

better have a shot before there all gone lets try F2

[jocateme]

OK... if the most plausible ones are not correct, then let's guess the impossible. F10 for me please.

[dafi]

morning all no one got it yet? lets get guesing then.....A4 for starters i will be back later for a rain induced second go...

[ayasuda]

A4 for me please.

[teamsaint]

how about an update pe'rigin

and about this afternoon.....:storm: :-C

[bitterntwisted]

A10 is mislabelled as F10. I'll have A10, hoping there's a cock-up.

Graham

[Sue Wright]

D9 for tonight please Pe'rigin. I reckon you're right with your thoughts about the hate part, trouble is I reckon it's already happened:frog: :storm: I go with Tom for an update asap please.

[dafi]

Evening all i think i might just try J7 for this evenings shot.

[jocateme]

OK... if the most plausible ones are not correct, then let's guess the impossible. F10 for me please.

A10 is mislabelled as F10. I'll have A10, hoping there's a cock-up.

Graham

Thanks for that. That's what I meant.

Let's try G8 for now.

[Sue Wright]

It might sound crazy, but how about

D8

[jocateme]

That's great guess, Sue.

I'll try C1 today.

[nick patel]

B9?

Nick.

[Sue Wright]

D7 I reckon Pe'rigin's flown the nest!

[jocateme]

Where are you Pe'rigrin???

G2 for me, BTW.

[ed keeble]

Good grief- still going!

Now question is- why would the same bit of mud appear in two squares..

[jocateme]

Hmmmm.... Well noticed, Ed!

[dafi]

well whos going to jump in the mud then?

[pe'rigin]

Morning one and all,

Morning Sue, I'm back.

Sorry, the storms took out the lot.

Plus, Teamsaints right, I'm depressed over referee Graham Pole's decisions, I think both of us were hard done by this weekend.

I took some pictures at the Pompey match, I was thinking of finding the referee for the next quiz, with one rule change, ungrading you all to 16" guns, that'll wipe the smile off his face.

As for this one.....you guessed it......... keep going.

Ed, strange how mud gets like that!!!!!!!!!

I'll post the updates of your fall of shot a bit later.


P

[PaulK]

I'll try E1

[pe'rigin]

Hi, Ayasuda, not this time, Your sights are set too high.


P

[jocateme]

You gotta be kidding us P!! 56/100 already guessed

I'll guess G1 for now.

[ayasuda]

Ok, I'll lower my sights to D4. Ed Keeble! I was thinking along the same lines, but I think Pe'rigrin has that covered as well.

[teamsaint]

[dave123]

[dafi]

Dafi, yep, I'm loving it.

[jocateme]

G10, for me please, P.

P.S.: more than 3/4 of squares guessed!!!! We're horrible guessers!! (well, except for Tom and Dimitris when they are in good luck)

[dafi]

a quick shot of G9 .[THE BEST BIT OF THE A9 IS A THE END OF IT]

[Sue Wright]

F7 please P. I reckon Pe'rigin kissed it and it's turned into something that's burrowed:frog:

Sue.

[pe'rigin]

Morning Sue, you could be right, I had too much garlic last night.

Morning everyone,

We are down to the last knockings now. The last few squares are there and the number of players is bigger than what's left.

OK.

To be fair to those across the Atlantic, time wise in guessing, I going to have a rule change.


I will reply 24 hours from now with the response to your shots.

OK.

You have used up all your 15” shells and now it’s the Tomahawk Missile, you have one shot only, you can chose the same squares if you wish.

Dafi, I do not want to see a new competitor called Bugs Bunny from Orkney, it’s a one shot deal.

To be ultra fair, I will only accept attempts by those who have entered previously.

Good luck everyone.

P

[Sue Wright]

Hi P, sounds fair enough to me...,.so long as mine is correct!;)

I'll go for B3 please

[dave123]

j2 then

[ayasuda]

Good Morning everyone! B4 for me please.

[teamsaint]

J1................ I'm So Nervous!!!!!!!! Must Win!!!!!

[nick patel]

J4?

Nick.

[dafi]

Ok then last shot B7 bombs away.....back to the mess chaps.

[ayasuda]

I must say this has been the most excruiating game so far. Hats off to you pe'rigrin. Where ever you are now....PLEASE...PLEASE someone pick more squares so we can be mercifully done with this one!

[jocateme]

Good evening, Pe'rigin and all...

My last guess will be G7.

[Lisa W]

HMMMM, bombing out on H9. Ooops meant to say Bombs away on H9.:gn:

[dafi]

A dozen shots left in the war. It will all be over by christmass.

[pe'rigin]

Morning everyone,

The pain goes on, and on and on, another 24hrs please Bob.

Just think Keifer Sutherland can save the western world in 24 hours, and you lot can't find a Black-headed Gull!

Right the missiles go out the window, as in the film Sparticus with Kirk Douglas, the drums are sounding......it's ramming speed.

Same rules folks. One go only.

Good luck everyone.....you'll need it.

[Marcus Conway - ebirder]

H2 for me

[teamsaint]

J8!!!

[Sue Wright]

A2 please P.

[ayasuda]

Egads people! Sepuku is less painful than this round. B6.

[dave123]

i2 i think it's already gone and your stringing us all along pe'rigin?
feed him to the birds i say???????????????????????

[nick patel]

J5? (as my last attempt)

Nick.

[dafi]

Ok then just one more shot. I reckon it has to be in the water so A2

[jocateme]

Am I supposed to guess yet?

[John Eaton]

There has always been a catch in this one P, but I'll give it my last shot (again)
B1

The result on 28 May is far more important anyway.
John

[jocateme]

I guess I am now, so I'll guess I8.

[pe'rigin]

Morning everyone,

No catch John, well done!!!!!!!!! good ramming.

Two successes in one week can't be bad.


You can join my crew.


The rest of you......well in clapped in irons and think yourselves lucky, all bar you Teamsaint, your walking the plank, I can't have a saints supporter on-board my ship.


I did say this was a tough one, a flying bird and out of focus!!!!!!!!

Well done everyone.

P

[teamsaint]

please pe'rigin. I beg you for forgiveness. Mercy from the blue side of the force

[dafi]

So thats it then. Over so soon. Just when i was getting in to it.

[Sue Wright]

So thats it then. Over so soon. Just when i was getting in to it.

He'll be back Daf - and look out then!

Well done John.

Sue.

[ayasuda]

Congratulations John!

[dave123]

well done john,

[jocateme]

Woww!!! That certainly was a tough one! Look forward to more rounds, P.

And of course: congrats John!

[John Eaton]

Hi

Just signed on for first time today and what a shock. Two successes in one week is too much (for the uninitiated the Rams go through to the play off final).

I'd like to say it was down to my brilliance and birding skills, but no one would believe me.......and they would be right.

Thanks P for a good competition.

John

[jocateme]

A have to say, though, that seven (six, actually) pages of pure guessing and only in the 96th try getting it correct is rather shameful, isn't it? At least you GOT it right, John!

[John Eaton]

Joao,

You are right, but by the time it came to my final shot there were only a mere 3 squares left.
