Wormfarmer - 56 (+5?) 2. gcreptile - 56 3. Joey Russ - 52 4. Captain Chorizo - 51 5. Death Impends - 50 6. Perhaps - 44 7. Banana - 43 8. msc - 40 9. HDS - 38 10. Book - 38 11. wannamaker - 33 12. theoldlady - 29 13. Baby Blue - 27 14. Great Uncle Bulgaria - 26 15. MariNisia - 26 16. Hell - 23 17. Yvonne - 22 18. Yorkshire Banker - 20 19. bibliogryphon - 19 20. Joe Moneypenny - 18 21. Grimgrass - 17 22. Funeralopolis - 17 23. Toast - 16 24. WEP - 15 25. Stuart Beck - 8 26. GuyFromFuture - 0   A late 10 points puts gcreptile in a high score tie with wormfarmer, but tie breaking procedures specify the team reaching the highest score first secures the win.     If a number occurs in parenthesis after your score, that reflects a hit without a QO yet.  So far that only applies to wormfarmer . . . .
