Six degrees thread ... rebooted

[NorthernPA4U]

Just for the summer (no later than November, in all likelihood), I'll reboot this thread as well ... moon seemed to like it ...


A reminder of the VERY confusing rules:

*I will post an initial picture, a string of pictures in the middle, and then a concluding picture. The first person has to use the initial picture, and one of the pictures in the middle string, and "connect" them when they appear in the same movie. The next person will take the second performer listed in the previous response, and select one of the remaining pictures in the middle string, and find a film those have in common. This continues until there is only one picture in the middle string, which then has to be "connected" to the end picture.
*There may be more than one correct way of navigating through the set of pictures. However, not every choice will let you get all the way through the list. If you think that is the case, and you find yourself stuck, you may back up as far back in the response list as you like and restart the list at that point.
*A person can only post to a particular set once every 24 hours; that is, you may post again 24 hours after your last post on the same set. The clock also restarts with every new set of pictures.
*Only posts in the string that finally makes it to the end will count for points for those that posted on that set.
*The strings will get longer with each correct set of answers (up to a point).
*One last note, these are all film connections ... not television.

Yes, that is exactly the way, assuming those are the right people. If so, then someone else now has to find a link between Ms. Dukakis and another performer in that middle set.

OK, I will remind you last two of the rule you didn't notice -- 24 hours between YOUR answers.

I did bold the rule on the original post.

[NorthernPA4U]

you posted another set, so I guess that answered my question. thanks for starting again.

no problem -- I think the other would be allowing for TOO much sharkish behavior.

 

[mrtnmoon]

1. Sharlto Copley was in The A-Team with Patrick Wilson

 

[BradBigBrain]

Oopsie. I saw newbie's post and thought 24 hours had passed. Is it 24 from when the individual posts or from when the thread starts?

24 hours from the time you post, to the next time you can post.

That may change at some point when the strings get long enough, and depending on how many people get involved in the thread. (It won't get longer, but it could get shorter.) If and when it changes, I highlight the new time interval in red when I post the set.

With a new set the clock starts again.

 

[mrtnmoon]

all sharkishness aside, and to the eternal consternation of mr. nor, I have always seen this game as more of a team effort. can we figure out a path through what his devious mind hath wrought? so, while I like to win, I'm also happy to help if anyone has trouble identifying someone, etc. I can't always figure out who everyone is, but I do pretty well... and I'm finished with this one. just sayin'.

Yes, well, the shorter ones are designed to bring in people who might have an interest. They aren't SUPPOSED to be the tough ones.

That's my line, and I'm sticking to it.

Besides, I've had times when y'all navigated through the list using a different set of films and order than I did it.

Added note: I think 25 points is where we go in each round here.

Second note: Both threads should be up-to-date ... I am out for the day.
