MortalCaso 1,630 Posted September 25, 2023 A sad hit, but a hit nonetheless. David McCallum is the first hit for @TheSpinosaurus with the show Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. It had been 2 months since the last hit in this pool. Somehow the host chose NCIS and didn't pick the aforementioned...alas the world turns. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,630 Posted October 2, 2023 Congratulations @Toast! Not only are you the winner of this pool with 3 hits, you were also the only one that managed 2 hits! I'm not sure whether you winning says more about your skill or the lack of competition. Perhaps both . I will be updating the List of the Missed as best I can over the next few days as well as providing some commentary of this pool and how it played out. Expect a new thread for the second edition of this pool shortly. We had 27 entries for this one and I appreciate you all participating. Please feel free to let me know of any changes you think are needed before round 2! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts on getting rid of the rule that a Tv series must have 5 living cast members to be allowed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason I have that rule is because you need 3 cast members to enter + 1 sub. So basically you need a minimum of 4 cast members alive to begin with. Originally I wanted 2 subs and switched to 1 before I created this game, that's where the #5 came from. Can I ask why 5 is an issue? I'm definitely open for discussion on any rule changes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,062 Posted October 3, 2023 I think the rules are fine. Obviously I think it should be explicit that news broadcast programmes are excluded. However, discussion programmes such as Question Time or Peston for example should be allowed. I mean, Toast won with a panel show effectively! Anyway, there's such a vast sweep of stuff on the telly, there's no telling what crafty entrant might try - until they try it, so no doubt the game will evolve. Huzzah for Round 2!

I figured there are a good set of TV series that have only 3 cast members alive, so they'll be good picks. But I forgot about that sub requirement so never mind.

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted October 3, 2023 Congrats @Toast What is to stop us just reentering our teams from the first game if they are still in tact? Will there be a banned list? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will there be a banned list? I have referred MC to the relevant rule in the Silver Screen pool which keeps the game fresh, so we will see what he decides. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
