This guy should be in 1FF Wars

While I've not played Grim Fandango so I don't know what he's all about... I do intend to play the remaster at some point. If I play it prior to running 1FF Wars, I don't see any reason he shouldn't be in it.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Oh dear.

 

[Spirederman]

Great. So we're back, with all the data lost.


Aaaaawesooome.

 

[Cardsfan]

Well shit.

 

[Ciderhead]

Well, this is awkward...

 

[Spirederman]

Okay, so this................

Is now............

My..............

 

[Spirederman]

1000th Post. Woooooohoooooo.

 

[Rammy]

Seems some little saddo likes to attack forums. Obviously the start of the final has been lost, although I know where we were up to/what answers had been revealed.

I've already told Magic and Jon that this won't continue tonight as I was told it'd be off all night, so I'm thinking we do this another day? To then get taken offline mid-game again probably.

The forum could have at least gone back in time to a point where L1&AL were still in the Gameshow Marathon FFS....

 

[Spirederman]

When we restart on another night James, will it still be our turn, and have the lifes left, and the correct answers in place.

I think starting on a fresh night is now a good idea.

Same question, same answers already revealed, still Harv's go.

This is frustrating, but some people will have given up and like I say I told two people it would be postponed.

I could do tomorrow, but I want it to be on two consecutive nights I can do just in case it overruns. So Wednesday, 7pm. Ugh.

 

[Spirederman]

Ok mate, sounds good to me. Extremely frustrating that some lone knobber keeps doing this!!

I had 83 points ffs. Back to 63 now, although the 20 should be added pretty soon for again hitting 1000 posts.

Family Fortunes

What better way to end the GameShow Marathon than with everyone’s favourite classic. It’s been a long journey, but today we will find out our winning team as Jehovah’s Five and Team Tinpot go head to head.

The Game

You will be presented with a question. The aim is to correctly guess all answers (some are the top 5 or 6 answers, so therefore don’t add up to 100) before you lose all three of your lives. If you lose all three lives, then the opposing team have the chance to steal. They will have one guess…if correct they win the points, if not then the other team win the points.

Before we begin, you will need to choose a team captain, and the order in which you will step up to the podium. When we start a round, the first person to say the word ‘BUZZER’ after the question has been asked, will then be asked to give me an answer. You must not answer the question until prompted to do so. Once prompted, you have 2 minutes to give me your answer.

Once a team is in play, we will run through the team in the order you give me, and only that contestant can give me an answer. As before, you can not answer until prompted, and again you will have 2 minutes.

Who gets to play?

In the real show, the team who got to choose whether to play or pass were asked the question for that round. The quickest to buzz in would get that choice if they picked the top answer. If not, then the other team got to try and find a higher scoring answer. Now I don’t want you possibly starting off with two answers already on the board, so your choice to play or pass will come down to a separate question.

When you see the question, do not immediately answer. Type out the word ‘BUZZER’, and the first to do so will then be prompted to answer the question.

I had to watch the real Family Fortunes on ITV because of the site going down. It just wasn't the same.

 

[Rammy]

Right, all of J5 are here (minus Harv who wasn't online anyway), so we're going to finish this question...

Before the forum died, these were the answers revealed. JonBCFC had just found the bottom answer 'Throw Away'. Harv's turn had been randomly assigned to Oaf, who now has two minutes...

Name something you might do with an unwanted Christmas present

A clean sweep for J5, and 100 points on the board. Absolutely astounded that Team Tinpot chose to pass on that one.

To be fair at that point I naively thought we wouldn't be able to confer like in the show so it would have been harder but oh well. Well played.

 

[Cardsfan]

We all agreed in the PM that I had made the right decision

4 more rounds to go, we can do this.
