(FOFC Game) Initial Impressions (8/20 game at Post 247)

[SirFozzie]

Things have quieted down again, so I've decided to run a quick game over the next few days.

The game is called Initial Impressions, and this is how it works. I will post five categories, and five entries in each category. For the category, and the entries, they will be identified ONLY by the first letter in each word. For example

Category: AS

DLLAL
TKAR
IDWTMAT
ETR
WTW

From this, you have to identify the category and the items in each category:

The sample would be:

AS=AEROSMITH SONGS

DLLAL= Dude Looks Like a Lady
TKAR= Train Kept a Rollin
IDWTMAT = I Don't Want To Miss a Thing
ETR = Eat The Rich
WTW = Walk This Way

For identifying the category correctly, you receive 10 points. For each entry, you get five points. (so there's normally 35 points available per category).

However, if you do a clean sweep (get the category and all the entries right without anyone else identifying any of them beforehand), you get a 15 point bonus.

All guesses are public, and correct answers are taken off the board:

Game 1:

Category 1: CMQ (This Category is Rated PG-13 for Language) - Category Guessed, One Entry Left

F MD IDGAD - GWTW - OFF THE BOARD
ILTSONITM - AN
MTFBWY - SW E IV ANH - OFF THE BOARD
TNCIB - ALOTO
ITKOTW - T - OFF THE BOARD

Category 2: BJS (Get These Songs right, and you'll go out in a blaze of glory, if you get my meaning) (OFF THE BOARD)

IML
LOAP
BOR
KTF
YGLABN

Category 3: WWL (Will Smith approves of this category) (OFF THE BOARD)

WE
DH
BTK
WBH
BC AT SK

Category 4: USP (This group would have access to a shiny red button today) - OFF THE BOARD (lcjjdnh, clean sweep!)

FDR
USG
LBJ
DDE
HST

Category 5: (The Easy One): CSS (seriously, FOFC? do you need a hint here? I thought many of these would be recognizable) (Category Guessed, One Left on the Board)

EWB - OFF THE BOARD
PMF- OFF THE BOARD
SOM - OFF THE BOARD
HOT
EHM- OFF THE BOARD

[DaddyTorgo]

aren't you on vacation?

[DaddyTorgo]

feel like there needs to be a hint of the category to keep the game moving quickly?

[SirFozzie]

Alright, I'll give a small hint for each category.

[lcjjdnh]

Category 4: USP = U.S. Presidents

FDR -- Frank Delano Roosevelt
USG -- Ulysses S. Grant
LBJ -- Lyndon B. Johnson
DDE -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
HST -- Harry S Truman

lcjjdnh wins with 130 points

lcjjdnh can either post a set of five of his own, or pass that back to me or another player for another round

[lcjjdnh]

Thanks! It was fun playing.

I'd love to post my own set and think I can finish one up quickly. However, I need to step away from the CPU shortly. Would you mind moderating the game if I need to leave?

[SirFozzie]

Sure. Everything's packed up, and I'll moderate :)

1. TV Theme Song Lyrics

ITUSTMELSF - (Another line is ITUSTMRSAS) - 70s-80s show, famous stars referenced

The E in the first line and the R in the 2nd line are the famous stars. Both are now actor-directors and have both won Oscars for directing.

[Autumn]

I"m good at thinking these things out, out loud but not getting to the answers. Anyone want to collaborate? lol

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

I tried. Couldn't get happy days or laverne and shirley (Ron Howard being the Oscar winning director). If they've both won oscars, there aren't a whole lot of options, but I have to run rather than see this through.

[larrymcg421]

E has won two Oscars for directing and Morgan Freeman is in both films.

[stevew]

Eastwood?

[larrymcg421]

Yep, so...

ITUSTMELSF

The E stands for Eastwood.

[Radii]

I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine, from the fall guy, thanks google!

Yay

Ok, it's time to start up the next game!

Remember the rules:
"For identifying the category correctly, you receive 10 points. For each entry, you get five points. (so there's normally 35 points available per category).

However, if you do a clean sweep (get the category and all the entries right without anyone else identifying any of them beforehand), you get a 15 point bonus."
