Six players have their board virginity taken by Ales, but it took a while to find one of them, as he mispelled the name. Two others already on the board also didn’t spell correctly, but I have found and credited all 41 now. | 1 | Loach | 247 | 8 | 1 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2 | phungi | 223 | 6 | 2 | | 3 | RobotDevilDog | 208 | 8 | 1 | | 4 | CAMJAY77 | 196 | 5 | 1 | | 5 | Registered at Last | 183 | 6 | 1 | | 6 | Happy Lendervedder | 177 | 7 | 1 | | 7 | melondeca | 147 | 6 | 0 | | 8 | Queen Anne’s Lace | 143 | 5 | 0 | | 9 | GIGObuster | 134 | 5 | 0 | | 10 | Little Nemo | 133 | 4 | 0 | | 11 | The Vorlon | 131 | 6 | 0 | | 12 | Jeep’s Phoenix | 119 | 5 | 0 | | 13 | candide | 116 | 4 | 0 | | 14 | carnivorousplant | 112 | 4 | 0 | | 15 | Crease Munky | 107 | 4 | 0 | | 16 | RTFirefly | 103 | 3 | 0 | | 17 | jeezums | 102 | 4 | 0 | | 18 | Dung Beetle | 101 | 5 | 0 | | 19 | standard deviation | 99 | 3 | 0 | | 20 | 42fish | 97 | 4 | 0 | | 21 | Superdude | 91 | 5 | 1 | | 21 | It’s Not Rocket Surgery | 91 | 3 | 0 | | 23 | Hoopy Frood | 89 | 4 | 1 | | 24 | AiM33 | 86 | 4 | 0 | | 25 | FavreCo | 72 | 3 | 1 | | 26 | Mahaloth | 70 | 4 | 1 | | 27 | Maus Magill | 64 | 2 | 0 | | 27 | J-P L | 64 | 2 | 0 | | 29 | Snowboarder Bo | 58 | 3 | 3 | | 30 | Oredigger77 | 53 | 3 | 0 | | 30 | Dolores Reborn | 53 | 3 | 0 | | 30 | ataraxy22 | 53 | 3 | 0 | | 30 | amarinth | 53 | 3 | 0 | | 34 | sweetpapalapa | 48 | 2 | 0 | | 35 | Team Dirt | 47 | 2 | 0 | | 35 | Mean Mr. Mustard | 47 | 2 | 0 | | 37 | irritant | 46 | 3 | 2 | | 38 | Dancer Flight | 45 | 4 | 1 | | 39 | RollOutTheBarrel | 42 | 3 | 0 | | 40 | Lsura | 40 | 2 | 0 | | 40 | Kitten Mitten | 40 | 2 | 0 | | 40 | Biotop | 40 | 2 | 2 | | 43 | arara123 | 39 | 1 | 1 | | 44 | stockton | 35 | 1 | 0 | | 45 | rosemurray | 34 | 5 | 0 | | 46 | MrKnowItAll | 33 | 1 | 1 | | 46 | Cazzle | 33 | 2 | 0 | | 48 | KarlGauss | 29 | 2 | 1 | | 49 | copmputergeek | 29 | 2 | 0 | | 49 | Bayaker | 29 | 2 | 1 | | 51 | vivalostwages | 26 | 4 | 0 | | 52 | zamboniracer | 25 | 1 | 0 | | 53 | Personal | 23 | 3 | 0 | | 54 | swampbear | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 54 | Spoiler Virgin | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 54 | imthjckaz | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 54 | Dr. Girlfriend | 20 | 2 | 0 | | 54 | DarrenW | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 54 | Catamount | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 54 | bibliophage | 20 | 1 | 0 | | 61 | zadscmc | 18 | 2 | 1 | | 61 | Lamoral | 18 | 1 | 1 | | 63 | lel | 15 | 1 | 1 | | 64 | UltraVires | 13 | 1 | 0 | | 64 | Prof.Pepperwinkle | 13 | 2 | 0 | | 64 | Paul in Qatar | 13 | 2 | 0 | | 64 | kayT | 13 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | TruCelt | 10 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | gwendee | 10 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | GuanoLad | 10 | 1 | 0 | | 68 | Baker | 10 | 2 | 1 | | 72 | Czarcasm | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 72 | Annie X-mas | 8 | 1 | 1 | | 72 | Allecher | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 75 | Rico | 2 | 1 | 0 | | 75 | commasense | 2 | 3 | 0 | | 75 | a35362 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | 78 | Meeko | 1 | 1 | 0 | ---
