Well, more than halfway thru another month, and things are hotting up a bit. 
I'm trying a fresh approach this month. My first full month I was up to 60 or 70 within the first week ... but... strangely ... by month end this had dwindled to under 20.
The next month, much the same. 
In June I aimed to NOT waste time taking 'easy' scores early on, but then the site enhancement of messaging u when u lost a top spot started, so I HAD to go get lots, just to check that system was ok.
(Hmmm, it sure was - I got lotsa messages!)
But THIS month I'm trying to make my top spots STICK - even revisiting some of them to push them even higher. So far it's working - I'm hardly LOSING any, though still nervous about the last days to come, when the big bullies come around desperate for more pickings.
Anyway, I'm keeping tabs again, and find the Big Movers over the last 15 hours have been:
+7 Bedem
+5 Neeraffa
+3 Joker
- 9 GaryOak
So - what is this - everybody steal off Gary, eh ? ROTFL
(And Bedem - u r looking good there - hope you can arrange a PayPal setup before month end !?)

Yes, it certainly looks like that is EXACTLY what is happening here. I can only hope that changes as it gets closer to the end!  |

Up 2 u, buddy - but your late flurries usually work a treat, don't they ? 
Anyway, the last 18 hours saw:
KTWorld - go UP by 9 (Gosh, watch your back, Neeraffa!)
MissPriss - go UP by 3
xDonnaX - go DOWN by 5.

The last 21 hours saw:
+3 Bafusa
+3 Eagle
-4 xDonnax
and interestingly, I looked at GaryOak's 30 (down from 46 four days back) and notice 29 of those are in the A-G part of the alphabet!
"So?", you say !
Well, I reckon his usual late charge is yet to come of course, but in meantime he just grabbed a few points from a list of games, but got tired at 'G' so is leaving all the 'H-Z' ones for later!
Right, Gary ?

+7 KTWorld
-3 Mel2Win
Those are the only moves of more than 2 over the last 20 hour period.
Surely noone can catch Neeraffa at this stage, though KT's trying!? |

Hmmmm, you had a 15 point cushion over 3rd place a few hours back, but that's now down to just 6.
I think Bafusa means business!!!
Last 30 hours - biggest movers :
+8 Bafusa
+4 Wickuzo
+3 Mel2Win
-3 KTWorld
-4 Bedem
-6 Joker
Another notable feature is GaryOak - over the last 7 days he's been falling steadily, from 46 down to 28 ... but ... he's stopped the rot, turned the corner (maybe!?) and gone UP a couple in the last few hours!
(Is this the start of the Last Days' Onslaught ??)
... and nice to see Zeus having been here only a month sneaking into the bottom prize spot - though I don't think "9" will stand up in a week's time.
And Aussie and Eagle are having a little private South Pacific battle in the middle of the pack - my favourite sports team is always New Zealand; my second favourite is anyone playing against Australia.  |

Yes, you read me perfectly so far! I was just taking it easy the past week. I'm still not sure if I would call it turning the corner...just yet though! |

Strewth!
Neeraffa's just hit 110.
Doesn't this guy ever slacken off ?
Does he understand what an "unassailable lead" is ?
Or maybe he just wants to finish the month with DOUBLE whatever the 2nd placegetter has !?
Well, I reckon - apart from old pros like NiteStalker, Starman etc - there's only one who could stop or even slow him, and Gary, surely you've left your run too late this time!?? |
