[Shaun]

Bite, whistle, call and roar - can be preceded by the word 'dog'? Or wolf?

[Tregard]

Bite, whistle, call and roar - can be preceded by the word 'dog'? Or wolf?

Nope, keep trying though!

[Marc]

I'm so confused

[Kate!]

Me too.

[Kate!]

Is there just one connection of four on this wall or four groups of four?. But can't be the latter cos then there would be no red herrings.

Idgi?

[GiRTh]

Vol , Goto , Call and path are operating system commands.

[Marc]

Bite, Whistle, Roar and Blow. All ways animals fend off predators..?

[Kate!]

Snow Charlie Flake Blow.

Cocaine

[Kate!]

Nvm that's not right ... Shaun already tried it.

[Tregard]

Vol , Goto , Call and path are operating system commands.

That's correct for 2 points, MS-DOS commands to be specific

[Tregard]

(Off topic, in an amazing coincidence, the actual Only Connect just used the Hunger Games district sequence!)

[Tregard]

Bite, whistle, roar and blow - pokemon moves?

I'm afraid not :/

We're going to have to call this now, I have fully solved the wall, 1 point to anyone who gives me the connections of the remaining three groups.

http://i.imgur.com/UoWX4cS.png

[Shaun]

omg i don't think i tried charlie, toot, snow and flake as a group :laugh: i'll assume that's the drug slang connection then

[Tregard]

omg i don't think i tried charlie, toot, snow and flake as a group :laugh: i'll assume that's the drug slang connection then

That it is, Street names for Cocaine, to be specific :) 1 point for that

The other two are a bit of a bugger, I will leave it overnight and let you all in on them in the morning, when we go to wall 2!

[Shaun]

I think the first group are portmanteaus of something but idk what

[Tregard]

Time to put you out of your misery. Two groups went unfound, time to find out their connections.

http://i.imgur.com/6xNKIbX.png

If you've never heard of Ricky Gervais' Flanimals, this group was impossible. This is what a Honk (http://images.wikia.com/flanimals/images/2/25/Honk.jpg) looks like, and this is a Sprog (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110428194924/flanimals/images/3/34/L.jpg).

http://i.imgur.com/Nd80kPY.png

This was a word-based one, you can describe the wind as doing all of those things. Blow is obvious, Roar is when it's very loud, the wind can be "Biting" and it can whistle.

So, Shaun earns 1 point, and GiRTh earns 2 points (Plus a bonus point for finding a group).

Onto Wall 2, have a go at this:

http://i.imgur.com/JYdoN0h.png

[Shaun]

Abed, Troy, Britta, Pierce - Community characters?

[Livia]

Cats, Annie, Kismet, Book of Mormon. All stage musicals.

[Livia]

Dion, Alexandria, Troy, Argos - ancient cities or civilisations?

[Kate!]

Abed Jeff Britta and Pierce - Community.

Troy is a red herring for this set. It's a civilisation as already guessed ^

[Kate!]

Tomis
Howl
Night before Christmas
Mulan

Castle connection ??

[Tregard]

Cats, Annie, Kismet, Book of Mormon. All stage musicals.

That is correct, all Tony Award Winners “Best Musical", to be precise. Two points :)

Abed Jeff Britta and Pierce - Community.

They are indeed 4 of the 6 main Characters in “Community”, two points to you as well :)

All other suggestions are so far incorrect, here is the wall currently:

http://i.imgur.com/SOn9KFv.png

[Livia]

Mulan, Howl, Troy, Nightmare before Christmas

All the stories are taken from, or inspired by, a poem.

[Tregard]

Mulan, Howl, Troy, Nightmare before Christmas

All the stories are taken from, or inspired by, a poem.

That is correct for 2 more points, all based on poems.

That leaves one final group, the light blue group, please give me the connection for a final point.

http://i.imgur.com/zjZBe3u.png

[Livia]

Ancient cities.

[Tregard]

Ancient cities.

Well yes, Ancient Greek Cities is what I was looking for but that is all I need, and all you need to score an extra point. So at the end of our second wall, Livia scores 5 points, *Kate* scores 2, they both score a bonus point for finding groups (so 6 and 3 points respectively), meaning, as we enter missing vowels, the scoreboard looks like this:

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD

Livia: 12
GiRTh: 10
Shaun: 8
*Kate*: 5
Marc: 2
Everyone else: 0


And with a potential 16 points up for grabs in our final round, it's still anybody's game!

[Tregard]

So we move into round 4, Missing Vowels. Here you will be shown clues, with the vowels removed ("disemvowelled") and you simply have to give the correct answer to score a point. Give a wrong answer, however, and you will lose point. There will be at least 4 clue groups, and if there is a tie after those groups we shall continue until the tie is resolved. Good luck everyone, the first group is:

The rest is correct though. Maybe the quiz master will accept it as an answer.

Good stuff Girth :)Thanks

*MUSICAL FANFARE*

And ending on that delicious note we have reached the end of the quiz, so, after round 4, the scores look like this.

Taking up the rear and our only negative scorer it's Smithy with -1 points, Missing Vowels can be a cruel mistress. Also special note to Zee who lost a point but reeled it back in, putting themselves squarely back on 0 points.

In 5th place, with a complete guess in the sequences round is Marc, with 2 points.

An honourable performance by *Kate* earned her 4th place, with some terrific play in the final round and great lateral thinking throughout.

Coming ever so close to a silver position but narrowly missing it in 3rd place is Shaun with 11 points. One of the most consistent player of the game, Shaun managed to get some incredibly tricky puzzles, its just a shame the first wall was such a bugger :L

In second place with 12 points it Livia, who managed to knock me for six by deducing the Pi sequence (which I considered the worst puzzle in the entire game) effortlessly. Thoroughly deserved 2nd place :)

But the champion of the first TiBB Only Connect game is GiRTh with a fantastic 16 points. GiRTh gained points in every round, solving some of my most fiendish puzzles (Monopoly corners, Fire extinguisher codes, etc.), but the real Tour De Force was during missing vowels, GiRTh was unstoppable and managed to take the lead. Very very well done and well deserved :)

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD - Game 1 final standings

GiRTh: 16
Livia: 12
Shaun: 11
*Kate*: 7
Marc: 2
Zee (And Everyone else): 0
Smithy: -1


So, all that's left for me to do is to say thank you to everyone for playing. I wasn't sure how well this would be received but I was delighted to see it was enjoyed by all :) Now to get to work on Game 2! Hopefully it shouldn't be too far off :D

I've been Tregard, your quizmaster, you've been bloody good at this, and this has been Only Connect, the quiz that makes MENSA look like a Kindergarten club, goodbye :)

Haha... perfect.

[Tregard]

A lot can happen in 5 days. Loves lost, battles fought, puzzles written. But I think we can all agree there has been a void, a wound nearly a week old, left by the ending of our first Only Connect game. So, in a shocking twist, Game 2 is starting earlier than everyone (Myself included!). Yes, same format as before (retooling may occur at a later date), freshly baked questions, and a good dose of rapier wit, provided by yourselves. Consider it a BYOB sort of quiz, which of course stands for, Bring Your Own Belittlement.

So, can anytone beat GiRTh? Will I ever be able to remember which letters are capitalized? Will anyone care that I used a 'Z' and not a 'S'? All these questions and more will be answered soon enough!

But before those questions, it's round 1, the Connections round. You will see up to 4 clues, guess what connects them correctly and score some points. That's the rules, let's get going. Here is your first connection:

http://i.imgur.com/11sBMGX.png

Unwinnable games?

[Tregard]

Unwinnable games?

Holy hell, give me a chance :L

http://i.imgur.com/tiNep5b.png

Snakes & Foxes is the board game from the Wheel of Time series, which cannot be won without breaking the rules.
Kobayashi Maru is the simulator from Star Trek which is only beat as Kirk hacks it.
Global Thermonuclear War is the game from "Wargames".
And of course, Head I win, tails you lose is pretty self-explanatory. So, 5 points to you, and a red face to me. Guess I'll have to crank this difficulty up a bit.

Second connection, here is your first clue:

http://i.imgur.com/vIo20Y2.png

Numbers of addresses of fictional detectives? :tongue:

[GiRTh]

Religious books? 221 is the Tanakh in the Dewey Decimal system.

[GiRTh]

Religious books? 221 is the Tanakh in the Dewey Decimal system.what are you on about?

[Livia]

It's the book classification system that libraries use. 221 is the Jewish Tanakh.

And don't take that tone with me, young man... LOL

It's hard to tell whether you guys have got it or not yet. Where are you Tregard :D

Is it something to do with religious calendars? We are currently in the Hebrew year 5773.Haven't you got work to do? :idc:

[Tregard]

Is it something to do with religious calendars? We are currently in the Hebrew year 5773.

Once you mentioned the Tanakh I knew there was only one way this was going :L

http://i.imgur.com/q9LkaZ0.png

(Clues 1 & 2 have swapped here, FYI)

http://i.imgur.com/Y2QmlyP.png

We are currently in the Persian Year 1392, Tir 31
The French Republican month is Thermidor, year 221 (Glad to see some fell for the address red herring)
As Livia said, the Hebrew year is 5773, and, as I'm sure you're all aware, the current year as the Gregorian calendar goes is 2013.

So, that's another 2 points to Livia, sprinting ahead here at this early stage.

Onto connection number 3, here is your first clue:

http://i.imgur.com/XVfW8yl.png

Oh are they songs they recommend doing the beat to for CPR?

[Shaun]

although I doubt anyone's suggested Work It for that rofl

[Livia]

Okay... Missy Elliott is the sticking point here again, but I'm going to say it because I can't think of anything else... the name of the bands are derived from the proper names of members, or a member, of the band.

[Marc]

ROFL Shaun pls be right

[Marc]

Family Relations?.... Hanson brothers... ABBA.. married?.... Bee Gees brothers..?.. umm.. I don't know about Missy :p

[GiRTh]

I have not got a clue. I was relying on you. LOL

I cant think of anything obvious so its got to be something extremely obscure. Cant wait till Tregard tells us cuz I sense a roll eye emoticon coming on. :joker:

[Kate!]

are they all film themes on soundtracks??

[Kate!]

MMM Bop in Hangover 2
Dancing Queen in Muriel's Wedding and Mamma Mia
Stayin' Alive - film of same name
Don't know bout Work it? (goes to google)

Edit : Work it was the title track of an obscure film called Stick it.

[Livia]

Yeah, I looked at sound tracks. The Smurfs apparently covered Dancing Queen and Mmmbop... couldn't quite see them covering Missy Elliott... although I kind of wish they would.

[Kate!]

:D that would be quite amazing.

[Tregard]

Oh are they songs they recommend doing the beat to for CPR?

That's bang on the money

http://i.imgur.com/5wr7k8G.png

While they aren't exactly 100 BPM, they are all close enough to 100 BPM that they are effective aids to performing CPR. I believe Work It is 107 BPM, Mmmmbop is 103 BPM, Dancing Queen is 101 BPM and Stayin Alive is 104 BPM. All four songs are on the suggested list of songs to use as an aid, very well done for a point there.

So, onto connection number 5, this is going to be picture clues, what connects them? Here's the first:

-would never have gotten this one, only recognised Blinky-

[Livia]

Well done Shaun and Zee... I'd never have got those if I'd sat here all night.

[Z]

Well, no confirmation from Tregard yet so hold onto your horses lol... but yeah I saw Blinky the fish from the Simpsons and Pacman immediately popped into my head.

[Marc]

[Livia]

Do you know a good one?

[Shaun]

i think the only connection going on at the moment is between Livia and Marc. *growls*

[Livia]

Angry sex...

[Z]

I would hate **** all of you

And I wouldn't call you back

[Shaun]

i would send you a snapchat of my dick and it would be a ten second one rather than a three second one

....i've never been good at flirting

[Marc]

:joker:

I'd rather another bath one tbh

[Kate!]

WELL DONE ZEE!!!!!!

[Shaun]

[Z]

i would send you a snapchat of my dick and it would be a ten second one rather than a three second one

....i've never been good at flirting

you silly mare, you're just going to intimidate them all and get drunk and announce your love for them outside their house and get yourself another restraining order x

[Marc]

Angry sex...

If you weren't Jewish I'd rip your labia clean off with my teeth.

Too far?...

[Z]

"status" (genuinely might steal this and post it as a status tomorrow) (hope that's okay) (don't care what you think)

[Z]

This is what happens when Tregard doesn't confirm the answers straight away :joker: his poor thread! Sorry Tregard!

[Shaun]

(i don't mind) (just don't credit me in it) (i'm ashamed)

[Marc]

[Z]

[Tregard]

Good lord, I leave for one minute :P Glad to see you all busies yourselves while I was away.

Names of the Pacman ghosts

There we go, for 2 points.

We have Inky Mouse, from those old phonics books. Blinky the fish from the Simpsons, Clyde Chestnut Barrow of Bonnie & Clyde fame and finally you would've seen a pinky finger, but you didn't need to! Very well done.

Onto our final connection of the game, what connects these? Here's your first clue:

[Livia]

Things that are called the same in different countries.

[GiRTh]

Things that are called the same in different countries.I was about 5 minutes too late. I think Livia has got it again.

[Shaun]

things immensely more satisfying than Marc

[Tregard]

[GiRTh]

[Smithy]

Opposites

like a big mac is meat whereas a fillet o fish would be veggie, bittorrent you download, youtube upload, world cup is global whereas fa is local?

:shrug:

At least you'll be fed that way tbh

[Marc]

Is it something to do with Patents?

[Marc]

Or what Kate said.. Only available in certain regions/countries?

[Smithy]

Biggest part of their selective industries

[Marc]

Oh good shout

[Marc]

Most and Second favourite?

[Tregard]

I don't think anyone is going to get this, which is unfortunate, my first connection which has slipped past. This may be the nastiest one I've ever written.

Here is a Big Mac:

Here is a Filet O Fish:

Notice a difference in the buns?

BitTorrent contains an uploading function once a download is done called "Seeding", where as YouTube does not use that whatsoever (Nor does any other service like that, it's basically exclusive to BitTorrent)

The World Cup is a seeded tournament, whereas the FA Cup uses a completely random match selection.

And of course, Apples contain seeds, whereas Banana seeds become those small black speck inside the banana itself, no longer actually seeds.

So, no points, but I can hardly blame you, that's a real bugger of a question, as bad as it gets, folks.

So, at the end of round one:


Livia : 7
Zee: 2
GiRTh : 1
Shaun: 1
Marc: 1
Everyone Else: 0


And we move onto round 2, Sequences, same format, just tell me what comes fourth. Here is your first clue:
