As an exercise in movie/TV trivia, I have decided to make a 10 round challenge. The game is played as follows: two actors are given and must be connected through appearances in television shows or movies. The object is to connect the two actors with the fewest connections possible. Please READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING! ROUND I Danny DeVito to Joe Pesci Set point value = 6 (see below) Some rules: 1) You may only post a connection of an actor to a movie/TV show already established in the list. For instance, you may say "Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump" only if either Tom Hanks or Forrest Gump have been previously mentioned. 2) You may NOT double post. You must wait for someone else to make a post before posting again. 3) You may NOT build off your own connection until at least 24 hours after you post it. The exception is if your connection completes the list. 4) Once the actors are connected, you may post a list of all the connections regardless of any previous rules. The next round will begin in approximately 24 hours after the original connection is established. During this time, a shorter connection may try to be established. 5) You may only use movie appearances or TV show appearances. The exception are TV shows which regularly have guest appearances as part of the show (Saturday Night Live, Jay Leno, etc.). However, a guest appearance on, say, M*A*S*H* would be acceptable. 6) You may NOT use cartoon voices, directing/production roles. The actor must have actually appeared in the movie to be valid. 7) You may NOT use IMDB or any other refererence/database to assist you. There is no way to enforce this, but let's keep the game honest. Points are awarded for each person having a piece of the shortest connection. The number of points awarded are determined by an established value for each round minus the number of connections (not to be less than one). -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Sample Post: Danny DeVito in the TV Series Taxi *** You may now build on to and list any actor who appeared in the television show Taxi, in addition to (of course) any other appearances by Danny DeVito or Joe Pesci.

It's so much easier connecting people to Kevin Bacon. That being said, Danny Devito -> Jack Nicholson (Hoffa) Jack Nicholson -> Kevin Bacon (A Few Good Men) Joe Pesci -> ... nevermind, I'm not sure where to go on this one, but I'm sure it's possible... I suppose that route could be used to connect the two, but I suggest using the movie "Be Cool". As for the Taxi thing, I think that show is too old for most of us...

Philosophical question: If an administrator starts a posting game in the forum and there is no one to close it, does it make a noise? Uh... you know what I mean anyway. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I'm confused. So it's not my job to connect the actors, just to provide one step in the connection? Then who gets the points? What if you know of a shorter connection, but someone already threw in one that will be alot more difficult to complete? Posts: 81 | Registered: Sunday, June 6 2004 07:00 |

Start working on the shorter connection, or complete the longer one if you think that can be done faster. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Ok I think I get it. The best I can do it in is 8 so here's hoping 7 other people know where I'm going with it. Danny DeVito was in Batman Returns with Michael Keaton Posts: 81 | Registered: Sunday, June 6 2004 07:00 |

Every 24 hours, you can post another link in the chain. You just want to make sure you post the last one. >_> Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Lt. Sullust wins with 2 connections for 4 points each. Thank you to all who played. The best my friends and I could do was 5 on this one. I will post another challenge shortly. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
