Match game #3
 

Signups begin now!

Reply to the thread with an "I'm in" message and I'll put you on the roster!

Gilda

The rules:

Here's how it works. Each day, I'll post a category, and those who are playing the game will PM me something that fits that category, For examle, if the category was COLORS, you could send me blue, or green, or red.

Scoring works like this: You score one point for each other person whose submission you match. For example, if 6 people pick blue, each person would score 6 points.

Scoring will increase each day, with two points on day two, three points for round three, and five points for the final round.

In addition, I'll choose a special secret response, and if you get that one, you get 5 extra points per round, 5 in round 1, 10 in round 2, 15 in round three, and 25 in round 4.

Well, after the last one I need to try again, this time to get the edge on Flyman and his hairy ass.

I'm in.

It's fun... I'm in :)

0 for 2?

You bet I'm in.

I'm in! fun fun fun :D

Me too :) :)

I...am in...

see..........it's all about the ass baby............:thumbsup:


........and hell yeah........after that last round i'm in.

:D


i even missed round 2 and still came up on top..........it's a game that can turn so quick that you'd wish it was last sunday.


"more gamers needed".........."more gamers needed".........

I'm in.

And then in.
And then out and in and out and in and out and in.

Carpe Carp! Seize the fish!

Fly, how do get your ass a mention in threads where we least expect it?

Count me in too please.

I'm in :icare: (and a lot of other things too) ;) :suave:

sweetpea

as i............and my good chum Nancy have stated before..........


it "IS" all about the ass......


and it ain't my fault all the fucking wierdos in here talk about my ass all the time.......that's Nancy's fault..........she made me do it.


now the pantyhose.........that's a whole nother matter.

*bet you don't know about the hose do you fredweena?*



:D

See now you've got me thinking of Nancy's ass. Ah...the memories.

I'm in, sho' nuff!

A likely story. You boys and your "She made me do it." Not familiar with that one (support or fishnet? whoa... nevermind!), but the horrors that can be conjured up with the thought of fly and pantyhose....
/shudder.

Gilda's going to knock us around for derailing her thread here, bucko. Sorry, Gilda. It was an Amtrak.

Pantyhose and hair does not mix. Er... not that I'd... know.

I'm in... hopefully I'll remember.

im in. totally

im in and hopefully i wont miss a day this time dammit. and i wont miss the meaning of the question either! haha.

Topic 1
 

Our first topic this game is:

Cold Cuts (sandwich meat).

PM me with a type of cold cut by tomorrow at around 6:00 pm, and I'll tally up votes for everyone!

Gilda

I'm in... please.

i'm going to start putting my choice in the PM title...maybe it will be easier for you to count

Is this true, Gilda? If there is an easier way for you that we submit our answers, I can't think anyone would disagree. Up to you sweet lady. :icare:

Did I miss one of your votes in the last game? I notice you had no score for round 2. If I miss your vote, which might happen, though I am as careful as I can be when counting, just PM me again and notify me of the mistake and I'll get it fixed right away.

If I've missed anyone's vote, I apologize, and I'll try to do better. Please notify me as soon as possible of my mistake so that I can fix it.

Gilda

It doesn't make any difference to me, but you're certainly welcome to put it in the title if you like.

Gilda

I'm deffinately in

no, you didn't miss anything. i didn't mean to lead you in that direction.
i thought it might be faster for you, but maybe it really doesn't matter.

It's cool, go ahead and put it in the title, it will make it a little bit easier.

I have some business tomorrow afternoon, so it is unlikely I'll be able to get to tallying scores until late; thus, I am pushing back the deadline to 10:00 pm.

The category for round 2: Snow _____

PM me with a response by 10:00 pm tomorrow. Answers are worth 2 points per response and the secret answer is worth 10.

Gilda

What the hell is bologna? :confused:

it's what the bush people try to feed us on a daily basis...

I thought that was 'bollocks'?

A lunchmeat with more rat droppings in it than you care to imagine.

If you take the stuff used to make hotdogs and fill sandwich sized sausage casing with it, then slice it thin like sliced ham or salami, you have bologna.

Gilda

http://www.kraftfoods.com/om/bn/c_Pr...CC_Bologna.htm

it's a very processed meat... with god knows what in it :hmm: I'm not a big fan... but it's popular with little kids ;)

sweetpea

it's pronounced... Baloney...

"My baloney has a first name, it's O S C A R..."

Ah... baloney, I've heard of.

It's not something you see much of over here, unless it goes by a different name. Doesn't sound like anything I've ever had in a sandwich though.

a dollar short and a day late?.............I'm IN :thumbsup:

Bobby'll probably snatch it in the last round now.

bologna is made from lips and assholes....


my bologna has a second name... its m-a-y-e-r.

:icare: welcome... we needed an extra hottie to play :D

As usual, if you see I've made a mistake, please PM me or just put a post in this thread to rub it in my face and embarrass me in front of everyone else, and I'll do what I usually do which is go pout and whine about how much everyone hates me . . . no, wait, I'll just fix it.

Since this update was very late, we get extra time--PM me your response to this category by midnight tomorrow:

Computer Program

I'm looking for a type of softeware, a common noun,not a proper noun.

Gilda

AS much as I would have liked snowblind being the bonus answer, I'm glad you had no real reason to use snowblind.

Let's see who gets that old song stuck in their head all day. :evil:

HA I'm on the current standings list twice :lol:
Must mean I have multiple personalities. :D
By that thinking I can multiply my scores
......Yea I have 36
[/delusion]

# 3 ...I'm in? xoxoxoo

My wife kept . . . distracting me as I was typing that up, lying in bed, by running her fingers lightly across my legs. And arms. And back. And other things. I'm going to have to start doing this someplace other than lyining in bed.

Gilda

Hahaha! You two are completly adorable!

hahaa You shorted me 3 points and Alpha phi 6 I think. Unless that was just the total for that round :crazy:

you know what.......after hearing that........you can take all my points and add them too whomever you want to.


i could have the score of 0 and i still would've won.


thank you very much Gilda.


.....and yes.......it is that easy.


:D

Priorities my dear Gilda. This rabble can be put on hold. :D

Thanks for the heads up. All fixed.

Gilda

willravel is in the lead, but will it last one more round? Find out Sunday!

Blimey. Got to pull something special out the bag here.

*limbers up*

fuck . i dont think i can make it to the top now. let's hope my answer kills everyone elses!

Heh, heh, heh. I'll take second place. Take us to warp speed, Number One.

Scrolling down the long list of matches different than mine was like getting picked last on for kickball. And then I see that I got the super secret mystery choice. Yippee! Hooray for team Spreadsheet!

it's game on!

Guitar was by far the most popular answer this round, with 8 respondants. sbscout hit the special bonus answer with saxophone, for a big extra 25, but it wasn't enough to overcome the big scoring guitar. Our big winner is . . . you'll have to scroll down to see!

Congratulations fredweena! The winner of match game 3 squeaks out a 1-point win.

I'm not sure when I'll have time to start a new game, as I have a very busy week coming up. If someone else wants to put one together in the mean time, just post a message here and I'll be happy to hand off the reins.

Until then, I hope you enjoyed The Match Game.

Gilda

awwwwwwwwww! so close! 5th. i didnt think i would come so close though! good game! thanks for putting it up for us.

This was fun, even though I lost!!! Congrats fredweena!!!

Yea!!!! 7th......Thanks for hosting a great game! :icare:

Thanks, Gilda, for the fun of your Match Games. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but don't you think Ms. Fredweena should take on Match Game #4, while Gilda takes a break? :D

Heh, that should be the prize. Whoever wins, runs it next.

Thanks, Gilda. Really enjoyed it. :icare:

I'm #2! I'm #2! Yaaaay Me!

Thanks Gilda, for organizing this. :)
