THE 12-STEP GARTH GAME PROGRAM:
*************************************************************
01) THE INTRODUCTION:
The Search For Real Men Begins
____________________________________________________________
02) THE SONG: (Vocals by Nelson Eddy)
Give us some men
Who portrayed two REAL MEN
In the kind of a Quiz we adore
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll move this Game's Boulder
And sail on to D-D-C's shore
___________________________________________________________
03) THE QUOTE:
"John Wayne as 'Genghis Khan' in the role he was born to never play."
--- Sacramento Bee Film Critic David Barnes reviewing THE CONQUEROR
************************************************************
04) THE SET-UP:
-- Alphabetically & numerically listed below in BLUE are 100 Feature Film CHARACTERS.
-- All of the CHARACTERS are the names of ACTUAL PERSONS.
-- Two of the listed REAL MEN can be linked in a unique way.
-- They were both portrayed in two different Feature Films by the same ACTOR.
-- ALL of the ACTORS are career OSCAR WINNERS.
-- Theatrical Feature Films only (no TV-Movies allowed in here).
___________________________________________________________
05) THE CHALLENGE:
-- MATCH the two REAL GUYS, NAME the OSCAR WINNING ACTOR who portrayed them, and LIST both FILM TITLES.
-- ALL of the CHARACTERS are real -- no composites or 'based on.'
-- Roles may be LEADING or PROMINENT or even CAMEOS.
-- A posting example is given below.
-- Just ONE ANSWER per post, and only THREE CONSECUTIVE RESPONSES before another player participates.
-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
-- Duplicate posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
-- The matched REAL GUYS will be reunited in RED when discovered along with the ACTOR portraying them and the clever player linking them.
_____________________________________________________
06) THE EXAMPLE:
104. IDI AMIN / 116. CHARLIE PARKER
Place BOTH NUMBERS and the career OSCAR-WINNING ACTOR in the Message Box first
Ex.: 104 / 116 -- FOREST WHITAKER
Place BOTH FILM TITLES and the full CHARACTER NAME in the Message Box second
Ex.: THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND (Idi Amin) / BIRD (Charlie Parker)
************************************************************
07) THE EQUATIONS:
a) Questions -- 30% Easy / 30% Challenging / 30% Difficult / 10% Impossible
b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advance Apology Extended)
08) 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)
09) THE STATISTICS:
100 REAL GUYS / 50 OSCAR-WINNING ACTORS / 100 FILM TITLES
***********************************************************
10) THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- The QM offers welcomes to incoming players, hints for incorrect answers, and DDC acknowledgement.
-- Beyond that, the Quizmaster may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just using the time more efficiently by keeping the Scoreboard Up-To-Date (U-T-D).
-- Besides, it's too boring to respond 'Yes' to every answer -- and too many posts may scare off 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 do you want 'em accurate -- I don't do both.
-- Comments on Correct Answers (a player's first and after several attempts) will be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- To avoid creating 'Orphans,' only one MATCHUP can be correct ... MINE! (It's good to be the Quizmaster).
-- When traffic is heavy, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and incorrects 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 post, as this vehicle cannot make U-turns (re-post it instead).
