The 12-Step Garth Game Program:
*********************************************************************
1) THE INTRODUCTION:
The Pen is Mightier than the Quiz
_____________________________________________________________________
2) THE SONG: (Vocals by Fats Waller)
I'm gonna sit right down and WRITE myself a Garth Game
And make believe it has no Gaffes
I'm gonna WRITE links that are neat
To knock the players off their feet
A Bonus Round down at the bottom
They'll be glad they solved 'em
I'm gonna wish for the Interns to do much better
And hope they make the D-D-C
I'm gonna sit right down and WRITE myself a Garth Game
Only this time I'll collect a fee
_____________________________________________________________________
3) THE QUOTE:
"For some men nothing is WRITTEN unless they WRITE it."
-- 'Sherif Ali' (Omar Sharif) in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
*********************************************************************
4) THE SET-UP:
-- Alphabetically/numerically listed below in BLUE are 60 Initialed career OSCARED (Winning or Nominated) FILM PERFORMERS (labeled 'P').
-- Alphabetically/numerically listed below them in PINK are 60 Initialed REAL PEOPLE made famous in WRITING careers (labeled 'W').
-- Careers could be as NOVELISTS or JOURNALISTS, POETS or PLAYWRIGHTS, SCREENWRITERS, etc. -- anyone who scribbles for a living.
-- One PERFORMER in BLUE can be linked to a real WRITER in PINK.
-- The career Oscared (W or N) PERFORMER has portrayed the actual WRITER in a FEATURE FILM.
-- Theatrical Feature Films only -- no TV-Movies allowed in here.
-- Film Titles used only once, no repeats.
-- Initials are two letters only and are the First (or Prominent) and Last Names (Ex. 'F. Scott Fitzgerald' would be listed as 'SF').
-- Roles in the Film can be Leading or Prominent.
_____________________________________________________________________
5) THE CHALLENGE:
-- Match and Label ('P' and 'W') the PERFORMER with the WRITER and identify the FILM TITLE.
-- A posting example is given below.
-- Just ONE ANSWER per post, and only THREE CONSECUTIVE RESPONSES allowed before another player participates.
-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
-- Duplicate posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
-- The INITIALED PERFORMER and WRITER will be reunited in RED, along with the FILM TITLE and the clever player who linked them.
-- A BONUS ROUND will immediately follow the completion of the regular Quiz (and will be worth 2 Points each)
**********************************************************************
6) THE EXAMPLE:
P64. PH / W76. TC
Place both NUMBERS and the FILM TITLE in the Message Box first.
Ex.: P64/W76 -- CAPOTE
Place both PERFORMER and WRITER (FULL NAMES, please) with their respective LABELS ('P' and 'W') in the Message Box second.
Ex.: PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN ('P') as TRUMAN CAPOTE ('W')
**********************************************************************
7) THE EQUATIONS:
a) Questions -- 30% Easy / 30% Challenging / 30% Difficult / 10% Impossible
b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advance Apology Extended)
8) THE NOTATIONS:
NTA = Not the Answer / KP = Keep Pursuing (On the Right Track) / QS = Quit Searching (Down the Wrong Path)
** PLAYER'S NAME!! = Double Digit CLub (DDC) Membership Post / LLS = Last Link Standing (Final Answer)
9) THE STATISTICS:
60 OSCARED (W/N) FEATURE FILM PERFORMERS / 60 REAL WRITERS (NOVELISTS, JOURNALISTS, PLAYWRIGHTS, etc.) / 60 FILM TITLES
**********************************************************************
10) THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- The QM will always offer warm welcomes to incoming players, helpful hints for incorrect answers, and DDC acknowledgement.
-- Beyond that, the Quizmaster may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more efficiently by keeping the Scoreboard Up-To-Date (UTD).
-- Besides it's too boring to keep responding 'Yes' to every answer, and too many posts may scare off potential players.
-- The Scoreboard will tell the tale, but be patient about those updates as the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- Do you want 'em fast or accurate? (I don't do both)
-- Comments on Correct Answers (a player's first and sometimes after several attempts) will always be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- Only one matchup can be correct (MINE -- it's good to be the Quizmaster) in order to avoid creating 'Orphans.'
-- When posting traffic is heavy, SCORES will be entered in groups of five, and incorrects (NTAs and 'Halfers') will be bundled.
-- Be sure to number correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered Staff.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post, as this vehicle cannot make U-turns.
