Last day of Month 1. I’ve been lax in Feb giving y’all a chance to get a head start on me. (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!) Come March, no more Mr Nice Guy!
Remember that articles must be edited and published before the end of the day in order to count towards your February score.
If you do post an article today, make sure to do so with enough time to allow someone to check it. And if you do see someone asking for an edit and you have 5 minutes, help a fellow contestant out - you might need an urgent edit sometime down the line too.
Remember to add the article title, and any new topics you create today, to the February score sheet please.
I will probably do the comment counts pretty much at midnight tonight.
February is done and dusted! Congratulations all round - everyone managed to get their first points on the board!
February’s Top Performer was @czc who takes the Gold medal and a healthy 8 point lead into month 2. @DarthMol takes Silver for the month, and yours truly, charming and delightful, pockets the Bronze.
Brute Force Challenge 2023 - Month 2 (March) Scores
The second month of BFC23 is complete and two clear front runners have emerged. It’s still early in the Challenge year though with another 8 months still to go. Plenty of time for the others to climb the table.
Gold medal winner for the month is @Moi with a solid 43-point haul. I intended to have at least one month where I score the maximum points possible in one month. I was 6 short this time. Silver medal this month to @czc who adds another 33 points to his February tally. @DarthMol adds a Bronze to his medal collection.
On the Overall Standings then @CZC holds onto the lead by the barest of margins. His comment count of 150 was exactly enough to get him 2 points for Comments. That puts him at 51 points in total, the same as me. @czc retains the lead though because he has posted more Articles than me: 8 versus my 5. Stay sharp @czc, I’m coming for you!
Behind us @Darthmol is comfortably in P3 on 18 points, @Wyvern holds her spot in 4th, and @DieGrootHammer and @Beo share 5th, equal on 3 points. (Hammer takes that tie-breaker with his 1 New Topic over Beo’s none.)
Month Three of BFC23 is complete! A generally slow month to be frank, but some decent content created at least and points in the bag for most again.
Gold medal winner for the month is @MeMyself with 20 points for the month. Nowhere close to the 43 of last month Silver medal this month to @czc who picked up 14 points. @DarthMol adds another Bronze to his medal collection with 9 points.
On the Overall Standings, I slot into first this month with a 6 point lead over @czc. Now in a clear third, @DarthMol is a solid 20 points ahead of the trio of @Beo who jumps up to 4th place, @Wyvern in 5th, and @DieGrootHammer now bringing up the rear.
