Match game #2!
 

It's time for our second edition, with everyone having a chance to get in for the first round this time. As with the last round, signups are easy, just post a message saying "I'm in" and I'll add you to the roster. This game, I'll put the roster and standings here in the first post and keep them updated here. I'll post the first category tomorrow at 6:00 pm EST or whenever I get around to it. No PM's necessary at this time.

Do we have a topic yet Dr. Gilda? :)

* me anxiously waits ;)

sweetpea

Bring it on... I'm ready to repeat my dismal performance in the last one.

Our first topic for game two:

Cookies

Voting closes tomorrow at about 6:00 or whenever I get around to tallying up the points. I'm updating the player roster now. If your name is not on the player roster, let me know in this thread, and if you join late, put in a post to tell me.

Have fun!

Gilda

i wanna play....

oh yeah...........i'm on the list................




woooooooohoooooooooooo...................

fuckin' eh.............i've always wanted to be a cool kid.

You're in. PM me with a kind of cookie! Make the name of your PM "Match game" and put your response in the message. That's all there is to it.

Gilda

I don't think you're allowed to put yourself down in this game :p ... esp. not since you're brillirant :)

sweetpea

yeah man, join the club :icare: :D

We're all cool kids now. Gilda made it possible! We're living the dream!

Yea, it's a terrible habit of mine. I'm trying to give it up for new year, though. It's harder to kick than heroin.

Round one results!
 

Chocolate chip was the most popular answer, with 12 responants, followed by Oreos with 5. fremen guessed the secret bonus answer, oatmeal raisin.

The category for round two: Computer hardware

I'm talking type here, not name brand. Name me a piece of computer hardware! Gaming closes at 6:00pm tomorrow, or whenever I'm able to sign on and have time to tally results, which usually takes me about 20 minutes. Lately it's been 7 or 8.

Have fun!

Gilda

Woohooo Bonus!

I keep doing this. Hard drive was going to be my other choice. Dammit.

How do you like it now Flyman... i'm gaining on ya! :thumbsup:

Maybe i should stop being so competitive and just light one up with ya :cool: :D

sweetpea

These match games... who knew they could evoke such frustration? :lol:

sweetpea

Heh... I'm such a computer idiot that I wasn't sure "hard drive" was a real term. "Dayum, is it real? I'm gonna look like an idiot!" No frustration here. :rolleyes:

hehe, i thought the same thing.. i even had to ask someone if it was a real term ;) hehehehehehehe

sweetpea

I take my match games seriously, yo. I'm playin' for keeps. :cool:

alrite this is starting to look fun, count me in yo

Thank you, sweetpea. I'm not the only one, then? :)

i missed the last damn question.........oh well.


i'm always in to lighting up sweetie......
:thumbsup:

GAH!! I've been busy and haven't been on much the past few days...

Round 3 Results!
 

There was a good spread of answers this round, with Ivory and Dial each getting four responses, and Irish Spring getting three.

The bonus answer was Dove, congratulations sweetpea :love: :icare: and flyman!

Remember, only one vote per round, and only the first vote counts!

And fredweena gets her vote in as I'm previewing, giving the Dove people another match, and herself 24 points! Good timing!

The final round category is _____ storm. PM me a word that fits in the blank.

Gilda

fuckin' eh brother.........i even missed the 2nd round and look at the score


WOOOOOOOOOOOO"FUCKING"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........



*sorry sweetpea........i had too*


:D

*BASTARD* :D

DOH!.....I was going to say Dove too :lol:
I decided Ivory was more common

It's crazy-making, isn't it? "Storm" had me going "this, no that, nope it's gotta be...."

I'll be kicking myself for over-thinking it. :)

I felt at a bit of a disadvantage there to be honest. I've never heard of half of those soap brands. And not because I don't wash, either. Because I'm in the UK, and we don't have half of them.

EDIT: That said, I almost plumped for Dove... sigh. One day, I'll get this right.

you are kinda cute when you gloat, i don't know how you manage that :hmm: :)

and my dear... i'm gaining on you, next round and you could be finished! :p

sweetpea

:icare: kisses...

did that make it better? :)

and just trust yourself and go with your first instinct. Although this game isn't about points, it's about playing around and havin' fun :)

sweetpea

Oh yea, I know :) I like posting about it though. Helps with my mighty frustration :)

frustrated????


you should be at the titty board then.



:D :lol:

ahahhahhahahhahaha..........right on




thank you for that



:thumbsup:

Wait a gol dern minute! No money, no prizes, no door #3? What a gyp!

I blame Gilda for fueling my neuroses. :crazy:

Woo hoo! Skin of my teeth. Got home late... I'm sorry, Gilda!

/dancing the silly Safety Dance around the kitchen

Hey, where's my points? I answered Dove.

EDIT - Forwarding the timestamped PM as proof.

EDIT # 2 - Nevermind, apparently PMs don't timestamp.

My apologies. The score has been adjusted.

Gilda
