Please do it again Tregard, It was lovely fun!

[Tregard]

Just letting everyone know the questions for the "Tournament of Twelve" are coming along very nicely! I have 2 of 6 walls done, 13 of 18 sequences, and 12 of 18 connections! And some of them are my most fiendish yet, even worse than that seed one that pissed you all off.

I would suggest you start looking at forming teams of three, because I'll be getting applications ready as soon as I get the go ahead for the tournament

GAME 3 (Warm up game)

It's been a while, hasn't it? Oh don't look at me like that, we've both been busy, we've haven't made time for each other, but we shouldn't fight. I can see in your eyes you still feel the same, so why don't we just set our anger aside and quiz like we used to?

Yes Only Connect is back on TiBB, and this game is hopefully going to act as a warm-up to the "Tournament of Twelve" I'll be running afterwards, this game will allow folks to get back into the swing of the game and hopefully organise some teams of three.

So, we'll recap over the rules: In this first round, Connections, you will all see up to 4 clues, I simply need to know what connects them. You get 5, 3, 2 or 1 point depending on how many clues you need, and you can guess once per clue. Please don't Google, Bing, or Ask Jeeves, as it will simply ruin the game for everyone!

So, let's start at the beginning, scoreboard is wiped

Everyone: 0

Here's connection 1, and your first clue:

[Kate!]

Things that happen after death/ a death.

[Livia]

White smoke?

[Tregard]

[Livia]

Black smoke becomes white smoke when a pope is chosen, a black disk is flipped in Othello to become a white disk... so things that turn from black to white?

[smudgie]

White.

Yeah that's basically what I was looking for



Gandalf turns from Grey to White but all the rest are from black to white, we have the "fumata bianca" when a pope is chosen, the black disks in Othello (Or Reversi) become black, Gandalf the Grey becomes Gandalf the White at Moria, and of course, a Black Russian becomes a White Russian when you add cream.

So, Livia takes an early strike with three points.

Connection 2, clue 1:

Irony?

Don't you mean the black disks become white?

I do indeed, apologies, I've been up for quite a while :L

[Livia]

The Gandalf thing would have lost me completely...

Knew I should've put that second

[Tregard]

[GiRTh]

Spike Jonze videos

[Livia]

Ohhhhh... the dance group did the Praise You vid.

Time for bed... I can't compete with GiRTh when I'm sleepy.

[Tregard]

Have another go, GiRTh

(Anyone can still guess btw, just feel quite bad for GiRTh as I can't accept that answer)

[GiRTh]

I'm lost now.

[Livia]

I'm going to guess... Fatboy Slim [edit] music videos.

[Tregard]

Livia steals it



I really wanted to twist that for you GiRTh, but only 2 of those 4 are directed by Spike Jonze, Praise You (Clue 2) and Weapon of Choice (Clue 4), Right Here Right Now (Clue 3) was produced by Hammer & Tongs, where as Ya Mama (Clue 1) was directed by Traktor. The link was they are all videos for Fatboy Slim songs.

So, 2 points to Livia, and GiRTh is now seeking vengeance. Onto our third connection, here is your first clue

[GiRTh]

Half a point?

[Livia]

I'd never have got that if it wasn't for GiRTh... feel a bit bad. Sorry G. I'd be happy to share the two points with him if that was allowed.

Off to bed now, nice to see this back Tregard.

[GiRTh]

You win some you lose some.

Good to see this back though.

That can be arranged, one point to you GiRTh!
