All Caps Scores & Answers

Thanks to all and sundry who played on the blog, on buzz, or on facebook. The very fact that I have my blog content propogated elsewhere made tracking scores a bit more complex than it should have been, and there might be an error or two in the final scoring, but I'm pretty sure it holds to the standard of everyone getting points for first mentions in their chosen mediums. If, not, they're only Fake Worthless Internet Points, right? Without further delay:

  1. (43 Fwips) Davey Cruz
  2. (40 Fwips) Eric Cooper
  3. (32 Fwips) Rob Greene
  4. (31 Fwips) Michelle Younce
  5. (25 Fwips) Kenneth Yee
  6. (20 Fwips) Anne Austin
  7. (15 Fwips) Geary Younce and Matthew Crowley
  8. (13 Fwips) William 'Wam' Atkins
  9. (10 Fwips) Frank Manna and Nick Renfroe
  10. (9 Fwips) Gabriel Soll
