The Luck of the Draw - Brought to you by DB & Razzy

[Guest]

Hi folks

I hope this takes off. It's a simple idea, but may take some strategy.... but it's mainly down to luck, and MAYBE how well you know us.... so if you don't, please try to.

The basic premise is: -

Razzy or I will post a subject in big bold letters.
We will then PM the other FIVE things from that subject, so we both know the answer.
The subject could be narrow.... or very wide.
You have to try and match the five things we PM to the other.

You only get 5 guesses and one post per subject.
So you will post one post with 5 things in it
Example: The subject is numbers between 1 and 10
I PM Razzy with 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9
You all guess 5 numbers.....
FB guesses 1, 2,,7, 8 & 9.... she gets 3 points
MH guesses, 1, 2, 3, 5 & 9..... she gets 1 point
nauti guesses 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9.... she gets 10 points
maggie guesses 2, 5, 6, 7 & 8.... she gets 3 points
You get 1 point for every one that matches
You get a bonus 5 points if you match all 5.

When we reach 30 points, the scores will be reset to zero and the top 3 go into the hall of fame.

I hope that is clear. Any questions please PM me, and I'll try and explain.

Hall of Fame.

Bump for the new game..... c'mon people, let's play!

 

[geronimo_appleby]

quick question, Bear.
are there any oblique angles to come in on, or is it a matter of naming US Presidents? i'm guessing it's naming, but ya never know, there could be a little twist to the game?

sorry for being a goober.

Nope... no oblique angle..... it's a matter of guessing who or what Razzy or I might pick.

I may at some point decide to bring in a rule that ONE of the five answers is worth 2 points..... but thought I'd start fairly simple..... and I need to talk to my sexy partner in crime about it first.

So you'd all better get busy getting to know us.

Thanks for trying Azul.

Think it's more to do with who started the thread rather than what it is.

I disagree DB.
You have many fans on here and I think you starting it isn't the reason it is slow.

I don't think so sweety I'm late to arrive because I often can't post on Lit during the day.

Here are my five guesses:

G. Washington
A. Lincoln
T. Roosevelt
F.D. Roosevelt
Bill Clinton

I like this thread very much -- so please keep it going!
