Long time OC! (Long time no-see, you see). Hello again and welcome back to Only Connect! Yes I've been away for a few months, attempting to pay for heating in the house and figure out how to make things move around on computer monitors but now I'm (hopefully) back to play Only Connect once more, now with a new format I hope will make the game slightly more fair. Think of it like New Coke, without the horrible taste of razorblades.

First, some housekeeping, here's how out hi-score table stands after the horribly abrupt end to our last game:

THE GREAT OC LEADERBOARD

• Livia: 73
• Ammi: 62
• Shaun: 51
• GiRTh: 35
• Marc: 28
• *Kate*: 27
• Zee : 6
• Jords : 4
• Everyone Else: 0
• Cuda: -0.5
• Smithy: -1

Now, onto the shiny new format! In previous OC games, players would all be guessing at connections one at a time, meaning only one person ever scored points on each question. This really slowed down proceedings and caused some players to dominate the game. In this new format for the connections round, you will all see all six connections at once, and they will all receive clues at the same time (usually once every day or two).

Whenever you think you know the connection to one of the groups, you PM me that connection, and if you're right, when all the connections have been revealed, you'll receive points (5 points will be scored if you get it with one clue, 3 for two clues, 2 for three clues, and 1 point for all four clues). However, you can only PM me once per connection, so if you PM me "Places in America" after seeing Brooklyn and Romeo, but then the next clue is "Harper", you can't change your answer, you're locked in.

For the sake of time restraints this first game won't have a music question, rather two picture questions, and all will be going up later today!
