Initial Time We Play A Game With Two Letters For Four Consecutive Weeks

141 Comments

Just in case the guy on KFAN has got his intellectual property ducks in a row with his Kickstarter thing, I will not refer to this game by the same name he has given his version. Instead, this will be the initial time I "host" a game for the second on this platform with the following rules:

1. I will give you two letters (for example, "K.P"). All the items that week will be a two-word answer in which each word begins with letter in the appropriate spot. The answer can be a person, place, thing, or other two-word phrase. For example, if "K.P." are the letters, then one answer might be Kirby Puckett. Another answer might be "Krakow, Poland." And so on.

2. I will provide six clues for each answer. The clues will be provided one-at-a-time.

3. If you believe you know the answer, make a Spoilered guess in the thread. The point will go to whomever correctly identifies the answer first. If you submit an incorrect response, then you can no longer submit for that particular answer.

4. The participant with the most correct answers at the end of the week wins. (If there is a tie, then I will have tiebreakers for only the participants in the tie.)

5. You're going to be on the honor system, but you should not be using the internet or other resources.

The letters will be revealed, and clues for the first phrase will commence at 9:00am.

  4. First phrase clues:
    1. A song
    2. A world champion

    Next clue at 920

          2. I assume that today's was two different people. The song wasn't about the Giants' closer.

          3. They all refer to things in which the answer would have been Brian Wilson. Clue one was the BNL song, two the closer, and they were about to move to the Beach Boys

      2. Bah! I had this answer typed out, but was too unsure to pull the trigger before the next clue.

        1. I had an inkling the next clue was going to give it away, so if I was going to guess, I might as well.

    1. Usually falls seven to ten percent

    Next clue at 210

            1. heh.

              random update: i had ordered CIV6 for $20, and then they made it free (not that one). thankfully it was a PC copy which i hadn't opened, so i just returned it.

    2. Not being able to figure out the answer was making me crazy over here...

      I kept thinking it had to be an animal like blue whale, but that wasn't working.

      1. My sister-in-law was fuming when she couldn't solve it the other day.

      2. I literally said "Bow Wow" in my head with the Boynton clue and I couldn't connect it to the first two clues at all. I still can't. Have never heard of Ciara.
        Goes to show you should just guess

        1. She's currently married to Russell Wilson.

          Performed songs such as "1, 2 Step" and "Like A Boy"

        2. Bow Wow was in a movie called "Like Mike", about a kid who gets Michael Jordan's shoes, and they grant him Jordan's basketball powers.

          He was also in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.

          1. The only opportunity missing from this game is a peppering of deliberately bad answers among the actual guesses. Or a simultaneous throwaway answer thread.

  32. Spreadsheet's up-to-date as of right now.

    The Club now has 5 members:
    Me
    Pepper
    Rhu_Ru
    Philo
    Nibbish

        1. Hmm...this might be an easier to-do list than I thought. Better move up the difficulty to medium so the bosses are more difficult.

  36. Ninth phrase clues:

    1. A movie
    2. A song
    3. A video game

    Next clue at 1100

      3. This was my guess, at 1. I'm not aware of 2/3 named that so I got confused fast. Should have gone w/ the hail mary right away lol.

  39. Phrase ten clues:
    1. An annual festival in September

    Next clue at 240
