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

SirFozzie · 08-11-2009, 01:08 PM

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 · 08-11-2009, 01:13 PM

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

SirFozzie · 08-11-2009, 01:15 PM

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

lcjjdnh · 08-11-2009, 01:17 PM

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

SirFozzie · 08-11-2009, 01:18 PM

50 points for lcjjdnh! (I'll give it to him even though it's FrankLIN Delano Roosevelt

)

Bastard.

SirFozzie · 08-11-2009, 01:41 PM

And lcjjdnh finishes the game in dominating form, clean sweeping category five and stopping the BrianD clean sweep in category 1!

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 · 08-11-2009, 01:49 PM

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 · 08-11-2009, 01:50 PM

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

lcjjdnh · 08-11-2009, 01:54 PM

Will PM shortly
