We were mostly regular TTT players though we had Bigwolf in only his second TTT and a new player  (introduced by Stanolli) Kazzie1. At 20.00 hours we had a full 12 players and a watcher, Salem (?) Hello to you too. The regular players were sent off to play and Stanolli played Kazzie. Himbo, who had registered 30 mins before the start was not yet with us. A 13th player asked to join, but I'd run a 14 player TTT yesterday as a experiment ad I wasn't keen to repeat the performance; 12 is ample players in an online TTT.

Game 1 produced our first gammon - great start Grant. Incredibly by game 6 we had another 3 gammons for gandp, SaeedVali and Bigwolf. Nina was thrilled - she beat gandp.

Game 10 saw Bigwolf win another gammon. Stanolli joined the gammoners on game 15. Kazzie was getting lots of practice reporting losses. Whiteman dropped in to say hello and there was still no sign of Himbo. Did I mention that Nina beat gandp ? Meanwhile I had got my player numbers wrong and we actually only had 11 players registered. 

In my report of yesterdays Tric Trac Tourno I pipped BigWolf as a possible future TTT winner. I Game 17 he won his 3rd gammon. Elsewhere things were going well. Jenie looked in, grabbed a bottle of Blue Nun that she was offered and the announced she had to leave ! Salem was still with us, watching on, AbbyCaz also looked in but didn't drink us dry. Himbo still had not showed up, so I took him out of the Tourno. gandp quipped "Him b-----ed off." What else ? Oh yes, Nina had beaten gandp.

In game 28 Bigwolf was living up to his name and picked up his 4th gammon. Would anybody catch him? It wasn't going to be Kazzie even though he had now recorded a win. The same sort of win that Nina had recorded over gandp.

But others were upon the gammon trail - SaeedVali won his second gammon and Mazdaen his first. In game 8 gandp had lost to Nina.

Then things started slowing down. Or rather Funcom did. Kazzie had been having connection problems and Stanolli was now too. gandp also became a stuck at 5% victim leaving  BigWolf and GyngerSnap staring into space and netmusen longing for her bed. Kazzie, now many games behind,  decided to make my job a lot of fun by playing a non tourno player that snuck into the 1600+ Lobby while I was busy doing reports. Grant had a good giggle. I quickly sorted out the problem, but all of Kazzies unplayed opponents were either playing other TTT players or had crashed so she created a 19 pointer. I jumped on my keyboard and. in red, wrote "No Kazzie!" After that my n stopped workig !

etmuse maaged to collar Kazzie ad havig played slipped off to bed. The last few games took a while to be played. This gave me a rare chace to actually watch some games and it was very interestig to watch gadp save beig gammoed by Grat ad wiig to boot.  

Game 40 saw yet aother gammo for Bigwolf - a terrific score of 5 gammos from 9 games. Kazzie completed a much iterupted game with gadp. GygerSap could at last leave havig played Kazzie ad Staolli who the completed with gadp. We were all played.  

So Bigwolf romped home a comfortable wier ad ia beat gadp.

Thanx to all the players who took part and to the spectators who dropped in.
