Three Clues To Solve Game

[supermario]

With the success of the quiz games, the load the boats game, and the A-Z band game, I've decided to make my own twisted game with many more possibilities...

In this game, a person will give a topic, and three obscure clues about an unknown place/location/thing (depending on the topic)... make them hard but not impossible... the person who gets the previous answer correct will make the next post after the person who wrote the question tells them they are correct. If you post clues with a topic that has been closed or never opened, then your question will be replaced. Also, if you post a question, and nobody can get it in a reasonable amount of time, post a fourth clue to keep the game going...

EXAMPLE:

Topic: Geography

Clue #1 - Think South
Clue #2 - Home of Many a Penguin
Clue #3 - Bring a Parka

Answer: Antarctica

THE CATCH!!!! The answers must be in alpha order.... Antarctica, Burma, etc. and when we reach Z, we cycle backwards, Z to A

CLOSED TOPICS: History

VIABLE TOPICS (Can be added to, post any suggestions on the forum):
Geography, Gaming, Computers, Science, Movies (Drama), Movies (Comedy), Movies (Misc.), Television (Classic), Television (Current), Sports, Music

[HinesDaMan]

Sweet, great idea...I think you oughta start it Supermario, as the inventor of aforementioned game

[supermario]

Here we go with question #1... remember that the answer to this question will start with "A"...


Topic: Geography

Clue #1: Marchia orientalis ("Eastern Border" in Latin)
Clue #2: From Caesar to Hitler...
Clue #3: Großglockner up High in the Sky...

[HinesDaMan]

Austria, I would assume from the Hitler reference...am I correct?

[supermario]

Yes, all yours for the next question... :)

Remember it has to have a topic, three clues, and an answer starting with "B"...

Good luck to everyone, and once again, if there are any additional topics you want considered, let me know by posting on this thread...

[HinesDaMan]

SHWEET!

Topic: Diction

Clue #1: This one's "obvious"
Clue #2: Opposite meaning of the word spelled (incorrectly) when the first letter is eliminated...
Clue #3: It's rude and celebrated, depending on the context

[supermario]

Sorry, but Diction is not a category in the questions (yet)... if a lot of people want diction, I can add it... the intention of this thread is to have multiple topics, and if one gets overused, it can be "closed", forcing people to come up with new and creative things...

I'll go ahead with "B" for now, just to keep things going...

TOPIC: Gaming

Clue #1: Baby Blues
Clue #2: Think Parka, Folks
Clue #3: What do you think, Nana?

[Mick]

Sorry I have no idea... i'll have to think about that one...

Good idea for a game supermario:)

For new topics.... how about Movies, Television, Sport, Flora, Fauna... just a few suggestions:)

[supermario]

Definitely Movies and Television, can't believe I forgot those.... gracias...

NEW TOPICS OPEN: Movies & Television, Sports

LIST OF ALL TOPICS NOW OPEN: Geography, Science, History, Sports, Movies & Television, Computers, Gaming...

Although I understand that IGN calls him Bobo... The name of the other Ice Climber is 'Popo'.... I am the vey essence of Nintendo... do NOT deny my authority :D!!!

[supermario]

Bobo is the answer that I am looking for... after doing some quick research into your answer, I discovered that on some sites, he is referred to as Bobo, including IGN, while some others refer to him as Popo, but either way, that is correct...

ANSWER STARTS WITH "I"

Topic: Science

Clue #1: Watch out for Decay
Clue #2: Gonna get blood drawn today?
Clue #3: Mmm, salty...

[Freakums]

the forts thing that occurs to my mind ios the chemical iodine.
but thats probably worng . . .. can;t imnagine how that would fit the first clue. or the third, really . .. . .

[supermario]

That is correct!

With the first clue, there are radioactive isotopes of iodine, used as tracers...
The second clue, it gets rubbed on your arm before getting blood drawn...
And finally, most table salt has iodine put in it, in addition to the normal NaCl (sodium chloride)...

All to you for "J"... remember the open topics are on the first post...

[Freakums]

your turn hines

[HinesDaMan]

Topic: Gaming

Clue #1: He poisoned Doma
Clue #2: Obnoxious Laugh
Clue #3: Isn't it odd how 6 is 3 in Japan?

BTW...I was thinking that maybe Pop Culture and Music should be added as catergories?

[supermario]

Kefka... idk, I figure it must be final fantasy because of the japan connection, but that's the only k name that i've heard, never playing them myself (yet).

EDIT: Yay, I'm a bunny smasher now, lol... I will keep those categories in mind and use them in the future... gracias

[HinesDaMan]

Impressive for never playing Final Fantasy, but yes, it is Kefka, the villian of FFVI

[supermario]

STARTS WITH "L"

Topic: Movies & Television

Clue #1: Uno, Dos, Tres... still in the Dark?
Clue #2: Sailing Away to the Future
Clue #3: Three, Seven, Nine... what's next?
Clue #4: Whatamonga?
Clue #5: May Elessar Rule All!

[HinesDaMan]

Wow...I haven't a clue...I can think of a lot of things that fit just one of those clues, so I'm going to venture an extremely random guess...Lost in Space?

[supermario]

nope.. not quite...i figured this one would be a challenge

[Shaggy]

I'm clueless also.. :p

[supermario]

If nobody can get it in another day or so, I will post a fourth clue... I think I'll make that a rule, so the game doesn't die with an impossible question...

EDIT: Also, due to a lack of people using it and imo having too large a scope, the category "History" has been CLOSED. However, due to multiple requests, the category "Music" is now open, starting with the next question.
If anyone can think of any history related topics, albiet with a smaller scope, lemme know, and I'll add it.


Full List of Open Topics: Geography, Gaming, Computers, Science, Movies & Television, Sports, Music...

[HinesDaMan]

Hey, Supermario, I'm a huge fan of history, so how about adding War as a topic? That's a narrower view of history, but history nonetheless.

BTW...add another clue, I cannot get this question for the life of me

[supermario]

Ok... here we go...

Clue #4: Whatamonga?

Clue #5 will be added if needed...

[Freakums]

alright, i thought i had it, but nevermind, .... . . dang that fourth clue!:rolleyes:

[supermario]

Time for the fifth clue....

Clue #5: May Elessar rule all!

#6 will be posted if needed, but this should give it away...

[HinesDaMan]

Oh snap...Lord of the Rings?

But how does that fit clues 1-4?

[supermario]

That's right (Finally!!!) It was the only "L" I could think of at the time, but I wanted to make it not a giveaway. I guess I make it quite challenging.... :p

Here's the "answer key":

Clue #1: There were three movies, hence the "uno, dos, tres"... and involves the "darkness"/shadow...

Clue #2: Bilbo and Frodo closed out the movie by sailing away on the Sea to their futures

Clue #3: Check the poem, three rings for elven-kings, seven for dwarf lords, nine for mortal men, and... the one to rule them all...

Clue #4: Whatamonga is a place in New Zealand, where the movies were filmed

Clue #5: Elessar is the formal name for Aragorn...

[HinesDaMan]

Ok...M to me...

Topic: Music
Clue #1: Seven seems important...
Clue #2: Similar life to Jesus...
Clue #3: Died on Death Row...but he was never sentenced to death...

[supermario]

Is it Morrison, from the Doors? Wild guess, but it does start with M...

[HinesDaMan]

Nope, definitely noy Jim Morrison...wrong direction

Similar to yours, Supermario, I think this one might be pretty tough

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, no one seems to be posting, so to alleviate a little difficulty, I'm going to post a fourth clue...

Clue #4: Still can't get it? Well, Keep Ya Head Up

[supermario]

still no clue... maybe time for a fifth clue, or at least a bump to the top of the forum with this post... lol

i guess this definitely isn't my question...

[HinesDaMan]

Ok, Clue number 5 will reall give this away, so I guess it's a race to see who reads it first....

Clue #5: This artist "saw no Changes," so he became...

[Every1sHero]

The answer is Makaveli; the alter-ego of Tupac Shakur.

By the way, HinesDaMan...Both Changes and Keep Ya Head Up were released under the name of 2Pac, so those wouldn't help the Makaveli clue, would it?

Computers
Clue 1- For that music lover on the computer
Clue 2- Aarrhh, matey
Clue 3- This program ain't crazy

[supermario]

Every1sHero, welcome to the game! I really don't know this one... it's supposed to start with "N", but not making any progress on this end...

EDIT: yay, my 222nd post...

[Every1sHero]

Yep, I gathered that from the rules, and this does in fact start with N

Thanks for the welcome

[Arkacia]

Is it Napster?

it sort of fits the first two clues, don't know about the third one though :)

[Every1sHero]

Nope, sorry, not Napster...

Clue 5- Emperor of the CD world...

[HinesDaMan]

OH! I see, it's Nero, right?

[Every1sHero]

Yep, your turn

ANSWER KEY
Clue 1 - It's a program used to burn CD's
Clue 2 - Often used for music piracy, since it eliminates copyrights
Clue 3 - Nero was insane
Clue 4 - Nero was an Emporer of Rome

[HinesDaMan]

Topic: Music

Clue #1: Today's gonna be the day that you get this question
Clue #2: Drunken fights are a great way to keep a family together
Clue #3: What's the story? When's the new album coming out?

[supermario]

The Osbournes?

[HinesDaMan]

Nope, that only fits one of the clues.

[supermario]

oh well, it was worth a shot... :p

[Every1sHero]

Our Lady Peace?

[HinesDaMan]

No, but you're getting closer to the time period

[Every1sHero]

Of A Revolution (OAR?)

[HinesDaMan]

Nope, time for a fourth clue...

Clue #4: This desert paradise would fill you with tea and beer, not water

[Every1sHero]

Clue 1 - ____ Driver

[HinesDaMan]

Gomer Pyle...

Is anyone else playing this game?

[supermario]

[Every1sHero]

Yeah, Pyle was definitely the answer I'm looking for.

Q to you: have fun with this one.

[HinesDaMan]

Topic: Sports

Clue #1: Married to Brandy
Clue #2: Pa hoe nicks?
Clue #3: Drafted by the LA Clippers, too bad they lost him

This one is rather easy, I'm trying to get people more involved in this game again; the only one I think is entertaining in the forum games section (Oh yeah, the people-connections one is cool too).

[Shaggy]

I can't think of the basketball player.. :p

[supermario]

Quentin Richardson, isn't it?

(btw, thanks Hines for the compliments on my games, appriciate it... if only I could get the people-connection game jumpstarted :D)

[timmy]

hmm im at a bit of a disadvantage because i dont know any american basketballers

[supermario]

Since I know it's Quentin Richardson, I'm gonna take "R" since Hines hasn't replied yet, to keep the game going...


Topic: Computers

Clue #1: Listen to the Music
Clue #2: Fake, but it's not...
Clue #3: Drive the new G2...

[HinesDaMan]

Yeah, sorry there about not replying to ya Supermario...

Is it Real Player? (only fits one of the clues...)

[supermario]

Correct!

RealPlayer is a music player, not fake is real, and it was RealPlayer G2 before it became RealOne...

S to you...

[HinesDaMan]

Topic: Movies

Clue #1: "What do I know about" this clue?
Clue #2: "I f****in' hate pykies..."
Clue #3: Not a grab

[supermario]

Ok, I've decided to make some rule changes to make this game a bit easier, and hopefully, give it a jump start...

First, the Movies & Television category, after this past question by HinesDaMan, will be split into the following: Movies (Comedy), Movies (Drama), Movies (Misc.), Television (Classic), and Television (Current).

Many of these new categories will be closed soon to keep the game fairly limited, and keep it new in the future.

These changes will take effect after HinesDaMan's last question, but if he wants, he can change it to fit the new category, but that's completely up to him.

[HinesDaMan]

Hmmm...well, I'm going to call this movie a mixture of comedy and drama, with some action on the side. Would that be Miscellaneus?

The question will stand, but for an added hint I will say that it was made after 1999

[supermario]

The extremely sad part about this is that I just made the game easier, and I still have no clue, lol.... :angry:

Just a heads up, I'll probably be (at least temporarily) closing two or three topics in the near future to keep the game specific, but still expandable...

[pollovivo]

Snatch? Hopefully...

[HinesDaMan]

Yep, Guy Ritchie's amazing movie Snatch was the correct answer. T to you

[pollovivo]

Topic: Gaming

Clue #1: Technodrome
Clue #2: SNES
Clue #3: Half-shell

Clue #2: "Have no fear..."
Clue #3: What The Detroit Lions would be when they play the New England Patriots

[supermario]
