The 12-Step Garth Game Program
********************************************************************
01) THE INTRODUCTION:
Two-time Losers -- Oscar Style
____________________________________________________________________
02) THE SONG: (Vocals by Ezio Pinza)
One dream in my heart
Two chances at Paradise
I've been nominated twice
This nearly was mine
Close to my dream I came
Then I was taken aback
When both presenters claimed
"The Oscar goes to JJ-AA-CC-KK"
Now the final shame
Instead of achieving fame
I'm stuck in some dumb Garth Game
This nearly was mine
___________________________________________________________________
03) THE QUOTE:
"You men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actor!"
'Hedley Lamarr' (Harvey Korman) -- BLAZING SADDLES
*******************************************************************
04) THE SET-UP:
-- Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are 120 career OSCAR-WINNING Performers.
-- Half of them (60) are Oscar-winning ACTORS and the other half (60) are Oscar-winning ACTRESSES.
-- Two Winning ACTORS can be matched in a unique manner.
-- Two Winning ACTRESSES can also be linked in an unusual way.
-- Both Actors were WINNERS when the same Actor Performer lost to them both on two different occasions.
-- Both Actresses were WINNERS when the same Actress Performer lost to them both in two separate years.
-- Losing Performers were only Nominated TWICE in their careers.
-- Losing Performers with 3 or more career Nominations are not eligible (ex. James Mason -- 3 Noms; Ed Harris -- 4 Noms)
___________________________________________________________________
05) THE CHALLENGE:
-- Match the two WINNING ACTOR or ACTRESS PERFORMERS, name the LOSING ACTOR or ACTRESS PERFORMER, and identify BOTH TITLES.
-- 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.
-- WINNERS and the LOSING PERFORMER they beat will be reunited in RED along with the name of the clever player who solved them.
********************************************************************
06) THE EXAMPLE:
124. PETER FINCH / 136. MARK RYLANCE
Place both NUMBERS and the LOSING PERFORMER they beat in the Message Box first.
Ex.: 124/136 -- SYLVESTER STALLONE
Place both LOSING PERFORMER TITLES and LABELED ('W') WINNERS (last names will suffice) in the Message Box second.
Ex.: ROCKY (Finch-W) / CREED (Rylance-W)
********************************************************************
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 NAME!! = DOUBLE DIGIT CLUB (DDC) POST / LLS = LAST LINK STANDING (Final Answer)
09) THE STATISTICS:
120 OSCAR WINNING PERFORMERS / 60 OSCAR WINNING ACTORS / 60 OSCAR WINNING ACTRESSES
30 TWICE-NOMINATED LOSING ACTORS / 30 TWICE NOMINATED LOSING ACTRESSES / 120 TITLES
********************************************************************
10) THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- The QM will always offer warm welcomes to incoming players, helpful hints for incorrect responses, 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 U-T-D (Up-To-Date).
-- Besides, it's just 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 U-T-Ds as the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- Do you want 'em fast or accurate? (I don't do both)
-- Comments on Correct Responses (always a player's first and sometimes after several attempts) will be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- 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 and label correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered staff.
-- Please follow the EXAMPLE directions that facilitate scoring while maintaining Player harmony and Quizmaster sanity.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-Turns.
