Just like the popular television game show except that you won't have to compete against Ken Jennings.  Someone asks for a specific category and then someone else thinks up a question for that category.  Just like Who's Line is it Anyways? the points don't count for anything.  If a puzzle has gone unattended for more than a week, assume it's dead and start a new one.

Here's the first statement, come up with the question for it...

Al Pacino and Burt Reynolds both turned down this role in Star Wars.

Who is han solo, next.

he was shot here while on Cloud City and blew apart, where was he shot(on his body)

<Doulos's guess>
His groin.

What is a chest?

who is han solo

That was my next guess.

So, are we right?

Zeldi has until monday to answer, then it will be a week, and he forfeits his turn.

Ding Ding Ding!!! FL knows his Star Wars, 3PO was shot in the chest and blew apart(poor guy)

I'll take movies for 500.

This movie, featuring Val Kilmer and his wife together is my favorite movie and it features the word "Peck" many many times.

I have no clue...

what is Clue?

Is it old?  I've probably never seen it.

It's from the late 80s

What is Willow?  (No, that wasn't a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that was the question/answer to the previous answer/question.)

Correct!

I'll take Australian marsupials for 15,000, please.

This australian marsupial was so popular that they created a video game after it.

What is the bandicoot?

Yes!

I'll take Australian marsupials for 25,000, please.

Umm ok gotta give me some time then, that's a bit of a hefty total for this category.

I'm willing to wait.

what's a bandicoot?!?

That was the answer but Fourlegged already got it.

No, I'm asking what is a bandicoot?

Oh.  It's a marsupial.

when you come up with one for FL, I'll take flight history for 1 (I want to start off small. :P)

The Wright brothers invented this.

what is the airplane?

Ding!  Yes!

and how about trees for 3.

Kids usually colour trees this colour.

What is whatever color is on hand at the time?

What is light urple?

wrong and wrong

What is no color?  (Young goats usually eat trees, not paint them.)

I am sorry this is off subject but BOOOO!!!

Um, eeek?

Did you at least have the self respect to feel guilty about that one?

Uh, what is Poo brown?

brown and green

what is dark green?

Ohh yeah, in the form of a question.

What are Brown and green?

I'll take posters past for 50 please.

This woman's poster was on young men's walls through out most of the late 1970's.

Who is Rachel Welch?

Not who I had in mind.

Who is Hiedi Klum.


Her hotness time travels.

Does no one remember the red bathing suit, the big blonde curls, and the striped blanket?

This message was last edited by the player at 14:49, Fri 27 July 2007.

So, who is Farah Fawcett?

Yes.  It was Farrah Fawcett.

Okay, then I can I have planets for $72.

This is the smallest planet in our solar system

What is pluto?

If I'm not correct we're all gonna die!!!
http://www.ugoto.com/pictures/poor-pluto.html

Officially, no.

Only according to the International Astronomical Union. Liars and Fools all of them!

Okay, what is Mercury?

Next you'll be telling me that Neptune isn't covered with water and doesn't have a vast underwater civilizaiton 10,000 years old.

That would just be finning.  Pick again, Golden Flea.

How about colors for $83.

This is Golden Flea's favorite color.

Serbia.

Please ask that in the form of a question.

Weren't the answers supposed to be in form of the question?

And the questions in the form of an answer.

The current question/answer is:

This is Golden Flea's favorite color.

What is red?

Sorry.

Answer: What is Mr. Brill's most common word.


Literature for $200 please!

A: What does clueless say in library?

Q: Serbia.

in answer to FLs post as I think we are a little off here.....

What is Blood Red?

OOC> I am confused again.

Me too, and I like blood.

Good for you.

Hmmmm, since everyone is confused enough, I'll pick a new catagory.


How about books for 83 yen?

This children's book, written by CS Lewis, was made into a movie in 2005.

What are The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

You forgot a ? in there but you are correct, you may guess another question/category

Well I agree that I'm correct, but I think the poster of the question's gotta tell me. I think that's the rule, but who knows?

If you know you're right you may post the next question without waiting.

Okay... I'll take books for 102.

That's not very much money, so I'll make it easy.

A movie based on a George Lucas script (he also made the movie).  The movie was great but the following trilogy that Lucas had someone else write for him was just really annoying, in my opinion, since pretty much none of the characters that we'd grown to love were around in it.  Amazingly enough, the question to this answer wasn't "What is any of the Star Wars movies or anything to do with Star Wars".

What is young Indian Jones?

No, sorry, a different movie -- actually, only one movie.  He never actually made movies of the trilogy that followed.

Give up?

What is THX 1138?

What is Bourne?

What is the answer?

*Echoing FL*

I agree with Dragon.

Wow, such harmony! This is amazing! We get along great!

"You want a crate?"

*gives Dragon a create of Dynamite*

Who is Howard the Duck?


Who's creater Steve Gerber died today. Make by Lucas in 1986. Though I don't remember any sequels...

No, the answer is, "What is Willow?"

The president who I dislike the most.

There was a trilogy to WILLOW?!!!!?  Why have I not heard of this?@!??!?!%%%

New answer:
This custom map for Blizzard Entertainment's most recent real teme strategy game, Warcraft III, is the most popular user-made map available.

What is DOTA?

I've never played it but many of the kids I work with have.

Correct!  I play it all day most Fridays.  So fun.  I was even in a league for it for a while, but I wasn't really good enough.

Yeah I have heard it is very fun.  A few kids have been telling me to install it but to be honest since I removed WoW from my computer and deleted all of my characters I am very hesitant to put anything like that on my computer again.

I sympathize with that sentiment.  I did the same thing with my WoW account.  The nice thing about WC3 (and DOTA) is that it comes in one hour chunks; there is no continuous build up, just start at level one and play a game for an hour to level 25 and you're done.  The next game will start over with new teams at level 1 again.  It's sorta like the battlefields in WoW, but without the overarching progress between battles.

Well I may yet try it at some point.

As with most games worth playing over and over, DOTA has a bit of a learning curve, so be ready to spend the first games sucking.

If you ever go on battle.net US West, put Yoss on your friends list so you know when I'm online.

Do I need to be really good at World of Warcraft 3 in order to be any good at the game. I've only played through part of the Campaign and that was a few years ago.

So I installed DOTA today and gave it a whirl.  I died endlessly with no clue how to even play the game.  Most of the time when I would ask for help people would complete ignore me.  Not impressed.

I'm sure it's fun, but I have little patience for something like that, and I had forgotten how annoying people on Battle.net can be.

Yeah, I was afraid that might happen.  If you set up a time with me I can help train you.  After one or two training sessions you'll be fine.  I had never played the regular WC3 when I started DOTA; there's not much carry over.

One of the first things to learn is the items system that the map uses.  Unlike the normal game, items can be combined to form better items.  You may have noticed that there are shops with items and other shops with recipies.  The recipies tell you what items combine with what in order to create certain stronger items.  Let me see if I can dig up a beginner's FAQ from the web.

Try this:
http://forums.dota-allstars.co...php?showtopic=119608

You're right that many people on battlenet are a-holes.  I know you're comfortable with using your computer and mouse for games (you beat me at all the 1001GG stuff), so I know you can be a great DOTA player if you want to be.  Getting over the newbie hurdle is the hardest part.  Once you have the general idea, you can start to learn the details of different heroes.

I recommend that you pick one hero to learn, read up on that hero at dota-allstars.com, and then only play games with the mode "-apem" so that you can always pick the hero you chose.

If you'd like help picking out an easy starter hero, let me know.

Thanks Yoss,

I'll give it a go again either later today or more likely next week.  It'll be a good primer for me as I get ready to start playing Starcraft 2 once it comes out!

My friend just got hired at Blizzard as a tester for SC2.  I'm a little jealous.

This hockey player is projected to be the #1 overall pick at this years NHL draft.

Steve Stamkos of the Sarnia Sting?

Ask me in two weeks and I'm certain I can tell you the right answer.

Who is a canuck?

Boo, I was hoping to know the answer to this one, too.  Guess it's been over a week, so we're moving on?  Can just anyone pick a category, then?

I think so.

go ahead.

I'll take Circle of Life for $400.

ummm... how does one see what the question is?  or do I get to make up one that fits the category?

In reply to Kendrah (msg #115):

Hmmm... let me see here, Circle of Life for... $400 yes? OK, here we go, strange it is a bunch of random letters..... oh *turns card rightside up*. Here you go folks. "The food chain is lined up in this order."

what form should the answer be in?

What is biology?

What is predators, herbivores, autotrophs?

What is carnivores > heterotrophs > autotrophs?

what is a hit song from 'the lion king'?

Been over one week.

New answer:

This actor was a hairstylist in his families hair salon.

The same guy in your Trivia Questions question.

(Danny DeVito??)

Wait...didn't this already get answered somewhere?  I think I guess Mel Gibson!

Who is Mel Gibson!

when did it get answered somewhere?

Did it ever get answered in the Trivia Question thread?  I think that's where I read it.  Last I remember someone had also guessed Christopher Walkin. Remember?  Gosh, I'll have to go back and try and find it.

ookla never told us whether we were right or wrong.  I say we do a new question.  (a different one for each thread plz)

No, I want my answer!!!!  Doesn't it bug you when a question is asked and then you try and answer and the read answer is never told!!!  Unanswered questions should be outlawed!!!

I still say Mel Gibson

Are we still on:

This actor was a hairstylist in his families hair salon.


if so, my guess is also:
Whos is Danny Devito?

Ooohhh.. WHO is Mel Gibson

but, I think Santo is correct.  Not sure. WE NEED AN ANSWER

it was answered over in trivia questions.  danny devito is the answer.

give us a question santos...

Bump so Santos can give us a question.

you know what?  I think I'll start a petition to close this thread.  we already have trivia questions game.  its the same thing, but with some number (possibly) involved.

No, maybe we shouldn't say start a new one after a week. I say like 3 days. I mean, after 3 days of inactivity, things seem to get closed or something. Or at least page 4.

i still think its too much like trivia questions

Eh.. You do have a point there. Isn't that what Jeopardy is all about though?

Duh.  Where's Santos? *plays Jeporady music*

missing.

I'm just saying that everything done here is exactly what is done in Trivia Questions.

Sorry, didn't realize it was my turn to provide an answer since i wasn't the 1st to guess D. Devito...

Answer:
A praying Mantis is the only insect to have just one of these.

No.
BAD KION!!!  BAD!!

*sulking*

At least I'm an honest Kion!

Category is US Geography:


It's 277 miles long; 18 miles wide; 6 million years old & temps. within it can vary by 25 degrees.

What be the mississipi river?

Incorrect, but good guess.

What is the Grand Canyon?

Correct!  That was an actual Final Jeopardy question, and one of the contestants also guessed the Mississippi River.

So we start the second round of the game then?

OK, pick a category, we have.

Life Magazine:        Movies and books:           Gardening:         Medicines:

Movies and Books please.

It's a Double Jeopardy question.

In 1992 a very successful movie was made in adoption to this book.

That's extremely vague.

Umm.

Pride and Prejudice?

No

What is King Kong?

Nien

What is Mein Kampf?

You are 0 for 3 now boy :)

What is 'Who's Searching for Bobby Fischer?'

No

What is 'Rain Man'?

You are way off bat boy :)

Hint, it is an animated movie

What is Lion King?

Lion King is 1996, this is movies of 1992.

What is Beauty and the Beast?

You just time jumped backwards four years to 1988, this is 1992, but you ARE close

Hmm, trying to remember what was in between.

What is Aladdin?

Correct!

Alladin was based upon and also a movie adaption of Arbian Nights, the story in particualr Alladin and the Magic Lamp.

it was also made into a trilogy of movies that were direct to video.

Took you so long to guess though, you may pick another category of the three remaining ones.

(I can't remember them though :()

I'll take Life Magazine please. (I love Jeopardy!)

OK

In 1998 this Life Magazine featured this man because of something he said on stage, four years later he was interviewed again by the same writer of the last interview. The topic in question was, "How did he know?".

Hmm Who is David Letterman?

Close, but no

Who is Conan O'Brien?

Who? No

Who is Steven Colbert?

Good Ole Colbert, I like him, close againbut no, the poor man died this year. But you are close.

Hmm died.  I'm not sure.  Who is Jerry Falwell?

Who used to have a stage show for HBO I wonder now myself....

and sadly no, I jhave no idea who he is/was

I'm going to have to pass on this, my wife always makes fun of me because I can never get celebrity names/faces straight.

Very well, the correct answer was George Carlin.

In 1998 He spoke of things that he would like to watch on TV, fire truck tires and pieces of buildings falling from the sky. TV he would like to watch. three years later 9-11-01 happened, one year after that he was interviewed and asked, "How did you know?" Carlin had predicted 9-11 to the minute of what would happen in that small bit of his show

You are a good guesser.

Would you like to take a break or continue with one of the last two categories?

Ooh I was thinking talk show hosts.  Good one.

I'll take Gardening please.

Gardening it ias and it is a nother Double Jeopardy:

When planted this seed is the smallest of seeds, but when fully grown it is the largest of trees.

What is a mustard seed?

Correct!

Final category is Medicine:

Final Jeopardy question: When used the least, it actually helpes the most. However when used it must be taken at least fifteen minutes before or fater any food or drink has been eaten or drunk. However it is not a common medicine. This medicine is used mostly by small offices that put their work into cheper and more resourceful forms of medicines. Yet this type of medicine is overlooked.

What is opium?

and then....

What is methamphetamine?

What is Marijuana?

PIA: nope & nope

Doulos: correct

Marijuana is used in natural remedies, remedies that are in fact over the counter yet more effective in curing common ills, sore throat, burns, and mucle pains are helped by this drug.

FINAL JEOPATRDY QUESTION category is!! News Papers.

Of all news papers and internet sites for them, this paper is currently most read by those that stay at hotels.

U.S.A. Today

Correct!!

USAToday is number one hotel read newspaper, it comes free with with the room.

And that ends current game! Shall we do another round?

sure.  this is much better with an Alex Trebek wannabe.

I'm up for more Jeopardy.  This is probably my favorite game at ASWoT.

OK, another round of Jepoardy, the categories are as follows.

Automotive. Military Life. Plants. Space. and lastly. Wedding Goods.

Doulos, PIA and I believe Santos, do you all wish to begin?

Ooh Military Life please!

In the begging stages of WWII, soldiers used to do this each night, and after buring the dead of the group.

What is 'Sing Amazing Grace?"

Correct. Each night the soldiers would sing themselves to sleep, while also singing the dead to a greater place, as was said during the Battle for the Pasific.

You may continue under Military Life or chose a new category

Let's stay with Military Life - you're a good question asker.  Not too hard but still requires some thought.

soo..... yeah.... zeldi appears to be on....

why don't you ask the question zeldi?

In every war there are those that do their effort to help, either at home, in the movies or right there on the battle front. However many soldiers during this war got the chance to see and personally meet with, Bob Hope.

what is the Vietnamese war?

Coreect: Bob Hope was one of the few Hollywood stars to actually support the war

You may pick one of the four remaining categories that I listed about six posts ago as I can't see them

space!

its like earth but better because its in SPACE

OK, Space it is

Until its discovery in the early 1930s to late 1940s, this planet has been recently (June 10 2008) classified as a drawf planet along with three other plants

Boooooo.  What is Pluto?

Correct! Pluto was sighted in the early 1930s, possibly late 1940s, it was not until three smaller planets known as Drawf Planets were sighted, one of whom was sighted in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Earth.

Doulos back to you for category

I'll take Space please!

He wrote about being shot to the moon from a giant cannon.

Wow no idea really.  Who is Evel Kineval?

Oi Sailor I'm asking the Q's here :)

What Sailor asked, and..... I'm stuck. Was busy last night

Oh, I know, I know!  But I'm not playing in this round (pouts)

The rules dont say anything about only one person can ask the questions.

I thought I'd have to wait for a new round to start.  Cool.

Who was Jules Verne?

no its not.  I wrote about that.  for a latin project.  2 yrs ago.  no really.  the guy in the story was named Sid.  (SIDSPACE is an pneumonic for the ablative pronouns in latin)

I really have no idea.

Question dead as I habv no idea either so instead we will go with a different question in the same category....

In late 2007 this drawf planet was sighted between Mars and Earth.

What is Quasar?

What is 'Doulos keeps googling answers'?

imcorrect, guess again.

ok.  guessing random astrological bodies from books now.

(Ender's game)
What is Eros?

(Children of the Mind.  Part of the Ender's Game series)
What is Lusitania?

yeah... those are about the only books space-related I've read.  Ever.

Both are inccorect

i have no idea, and I don't wanna cheat by googling it.  so I guess we wait till some cheater does want to.

Firstly, what happened to my answer (Jules Verne "From the Earth to the Moon" 1865)?

Secondly, a dwarf planet has to have enough mass to distort it's shape to round and the only body in the asteroid belt that big is Ceres and that was discovered 200 years ago.  What the Hell?!!

Mac is correct, however it was not until late 2007 that Cres itself was set as a dwarf planet, at the time it was thought of as a lasrge asteriod in the belt between Earth and Mars.

Hey I havn't googled an answer yet!  I have said when I had no idea.

You were close, one of the four dwarf planets is Quasar

mac, your last question I am unsure, as I had no idea what thetrue answer was before I posted mine, which you answers with Cres, which is correct.

You may pick a new category or continue with this one

The reason I said Quasar was from an old trivia game called IQ 2000, in which you travelled across all of the planets and then beyond Pluto there was a planet called Quasar.

And there is, a Dwarf Planet by the same name, not far from Pluto to be exact. Pick a category somebody!

Wow, playing that board game must have helped.

I'll take Cartoons please.

I'd like the other category please.

Guess we're waiting for Zeldi now.

The answer to mine was Jules Verne.  Just to let you know.

Ok that's what we thought.

*ksshhhhht*  Jeaporady to Zeldi.  Come in Zeldi.

Till Zeldi gets back from china, maybe we should play wheel of timewasting instead.

ZELDII!!!

Noooooooooooooo <gasp> ooooooooo

anybody wanna start another since zeldi seems to have gone poof from this thread?

sure

But I've seen him... he's around.

He's being a ninja.

ZELDI!  you're online aren't you?

Nope, but I am.

It's been more than a week someone can do another puzzle.

I'll do it if no one else volunteers

Go for it.

Current categories in this round.

TV Shows     Medival Weapons      Famous Celebreites

Sure, I'll take weapons.

This weapon was primarliy used during the time of the Three Kingdoms of China as a infantry weapon. Now it is only mostly for show, but also fo self defense.

I don't know the name but is it sort of a pike like weapon?

That is for mounted infantry, the polex some called it, foot soldiers however used this weapon as a means of close attack.

Yeah no idea then.

Correct answer is Chinese Thinblade sword, mostly know used for Tai Chi training and combat.

Doulos, back to you

Hmm, ok I am clearly toast on that category.  Let's try TV shows.

This TV series from the sixties had its premire episode in black and white, the rest of the series was in full color.

Hmm interesting.  Shot in the dark here.

I Love Lucy?

I'm sorry that is incorrect, the series starred Edward Platt as one of the main cast members

The Outer Limits was the only other show I can think of - I'm not much for older tv shows.

I'm sorry the correct answer was Get Smart, it ran from early 1965 to mid 1970, starring Barbra Feldon, Don Adams, and Edward Platt as the main three characters of the sereis.

Doulos, back to you

Yikes, well let's try the last category - Famous Celebrities.

He coined the phrase "It's bad for ya" four months before his death

I want to guess Bobby MeFerran (or whatever the guy's name is that wrote Don't Worry Be Happy)

Some tough questions Zeldi, I honestly don't know the answers to them.

I have begun a quest to get on Jeopardy one day, but the content is so very different then most other shows.  A lot of American stuff that I never grew up on as a Canadian kid.

Close, the answer was George Carlin, he very last HBO show was exactly four months and ten days before his death at age 71, or as he liked to say "69 and two fingers up my a**"

Now if you want we can go through the other two categories again, (I'll try simpler questions if you like)

Ahhh Carlin.  Nice.  I couldn't connect that phrase to him, but that makes sense.


Okay I'll try my luck at the Weapons again and see how I do.

Yes Carlin coined that line and added to it by saying "Its all bulls**t and its bad for ya" mostly because of how the world was and is these days.

OK weapons it is.... i hoope you are good at D&D....

They are used primarliy for a type of soldier, but also for other soldiers.

I've not really played much DnD.

Hrmmm.

The way the answer is phrased is throwing me off a bit, but are you looking for Billmen?

Close, but incorrect, let me give you a hint, long ranged

What is a longbow?

Correct, (maybe I should have gone LOTR instead for that last question), Longbowmen, also called Bowmen were a set type of soldier, however all soldiers were treained with the bow as well.

Doulos back to you.

Ahh ok gotcha!

Ok back to Televison then!

Thess three men over the course of 23 years had six members, however totaled only three at any given time.

I gotta go with The Three STooges?
