# 1-- Correct.. Bill, I see you took only one guess.. Which is fine 2 pts

# 2-- Wrong.. (PRECIPITATION). You were on the right track Bill.. In the winter time when rain changes to sleet or snow.. He may say there is an 70 % chance of Precipitation today.


# 3-- Wrong. (CLAUSTROPHOBIA)..

# 4-- Wrong (PLANOGRAM)

# 5-- Wrong (BROCCOLI). I can see Where George was going with that one.. Some people do put cheese on Broccoli..

# 6-- Correct .. I see you did one Guess again . 4 pts


Bill and George you got 4 points that round..



Shederick and Kevin you have 28 pts,, Kevin and George you have 21 points.


Kevin you will be giving to Shederick.. Kevin here comes your set of clues.

[EaglesWings1975a]

While we wait for Kevin to give Shederick the clues. Let me mention a few things.

Depending on how many clues Kevon and Shederick get, this may be the last round.. 


Kevin and Shederick, if you get 3 correct answers that will give you 34 points you will win the game..

If there is a round 3, if George and Bill get all six for 12 pts, that will give them 33 points.. There will be no way for them to catch up.. 


I would like to bring this game to the forums.    Be thinking about any changes (If any), I should make..    

I have thought about a couple of changes  I may make..    



I hope you guys are having fun.. Thanks so much for testing this out. I know I am having fun

10 more points..


After two rounds of three , Shederick and Kevin you have 38 points.. Bill and George you have 21 points.

Bill and George there is no way you can catch up, so that means our winners today are Shederick and Kevin

(audience cheers).


Bill and George thank you for playing.. George, I will be giving you $ 500.. Hope you and Bill had fun.. Both of you gave great clues.. Hope you are able to come back on a future episode.

Shederick and Kevin thank you for playing... Kevin, I will be giving your $ 1,000 for winning.. Hope you and Shederick had fun.. You also gave great clues.. Hope ya are able to come back on a future episode..




Thanks again for helping me test this out.. I appreciate it very much

I would like to start this as a series this week if possible.. While doing this, here are my my changes

#1- Having 5 sets of words instead of 6.

#2- Changing Celb. partners after the first half

#3- If the player says one of the Taboo words give them a $ 100 cash bonus (Kind of like how they did the Cash Word on Super Password).. That is there's to keep no matter if they win or lose

If I do this, should it be more?



# 4 Give $ 500 for playing and $ 1,000 to the winner (Plus any bonuses they get, if the players say one of the TABOO words)

# 5- Show the Taboo card to the audience or do not show it unless there is a question.. Kind of like how earlier in the game when I show the Card on Tsunamis.

# 6- # I know we have not done the bonus round yet, but have a progressive jackpot that starts out at $ 10,000.. If it is not won add $ 5,000 each time. Kind of how they do it on Super Password..

The Bonus round will be played just like the main game...   I will give $ 500 for each word they get right,, Get all 5 or 6 win the progressive jackpot.




Also if it's ok with you we will by pass the bonus round this time..



Everything else stays the same



Also.. I would like to have all four of your back in the series premiere later this week (That is if you want to).




I would like to hear your thoughts/suggestions.   Shall I leave it as is or make the changes as stated above.. 

I loved during the test run of this..

[billmcdee]

Overall not too bad.

Some of the subjects though were way too hard in my opinion (e.g. Paisley, Kiowa and Planogram).  Some of the words were challenging but gettable at least.

I'm still half asleep as it's not quite 7am on a Monday when I'm typing this, but overall not too bad a concept.

I'd also suggest maybe having it where only 4 or 5 subjects are in play during a given round instead of 6.

[bighornbattle]

Bring it on.

[EaglesWings1975a]

Yes I will admit some of them were challenging. Kind of like the Cashword on Super Password.. Some of them were easy

I was also thinking about doing 4 or 5 subjects in a given round

Everything else will stay the same.

I will wait a few days before I hear form Shederick and Kevin to hear their thoughts

Thanks for the feedback so far

[koopakid17]

I thought this was fun.

I think there ought to be a limit as to how many clues we can use for each attempt.

Some of the topics were pretty obscure, like Buckbeak. You're either familiar with Harry Potter or you aren't.

Do you mean limit it to 4 or 5 clues per round like Bill has suggested? 

And limit it to guesses per clue?

[djshadowwolf420]

Correct
