Score,UserID

The tension is rising as we work our way through the contest. <Penguincw> is still hanging on to a shot at a Quadruple Crown. He leads in 3 Rankers. Everyone's favorite contestant, <lostemperor> holds a narrow lead over <Pengo> in Bonus Ranker.

In other news, <OhioChessFan> was whining so much about his puns not being selected Pun of the Year for 2018 that a non-contestant entered the playing arena to shout his congratulations to <OCF> for having the Pun of the Day today, in a vain attempt to get <OhioChessFan> to quit whining so much about his puns not being selected for Pun of the Year for 2018. In response to <OCF> whining about Kramnik all the time, it was rumored that all the contestants took up a collection to bribe Ding not to beat Kramnik so that <OCF> wouldn't start whining about Kramnik all the time again. <bubuli55> apparently had the great idea of the winner of this contest riding in a float and waving to the crowd.
