*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 :)

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 :)

*Credits roll*

Hahahahahahaha **** you Smithy and Greg HAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks Tregard! Great game but sometimes a little difficult for my small mind!

thanks Tregard, was really good fun (if somewhat torturous :laugh:) well done everyone who had a go :D

Impressive stuff Girth, congratz.

Yay me. What do I win?

Great quiz Tregard. Can we have another please?

Thanks. Good effort from all the...erm...losers. :pipe:

Well done G! (Smartarse). And everyone else.

Thanks for your hard work Tregard, it's good fun.

Well done Livia. :hugesmile:

Girth's prize

:laugh2:

:joker:

:amazed: a podium finish

looking forward to future editions of this, Tregard, it's been fun (if frustrating :laugh:)

Haha... perfect.

Game 2
 

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:

Unwinnable games?

Holy hell, give me a chance :L

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:

Submarines or naval vessels?

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