I didn't realize this was a standard edition Word Link (instead of the Scoring Edition) when I posted totals at the 175-post mark. Since folks may be interested in how it turned out, here's an unofficial tally (not checked for continuity, no penalties for any modified threads, etc.) for all 326 posts, using the extra point per post algorithm:
You did it Vanessa, congratulations!! And a fine effort from Rod, congrats to you as well!! One more high-scoring post for anyone in the top ten might have made the difference, as close as that round was (most points for a single post I've seen yet was 98 for 'integrity')...
With some encouragement from Erik, and noting the request for a 'provisional result' during the heat of battle in the first WL Scoring Edition, with furious typing and browsers hanging :)), I'd be happy to keep posting provisional results (unless I'm in the heat of battle) :)
Oh yeah, here's how the thread evolved:
