SCAVENGER HUNT BINGO DEADPOOL RULES

 

This is a new game and there is a prize but it may not be to everyone’s liking – You get to run the next game!!!!!!

 

Each player picks five selections in each of five categories (for categories see below).

 

There are three ways to win

 

1. You get at least one hit in each of the five categories

2. You get all five hits in one category

3. You get three unique hits across the whole game.

 

There is no fixed duration you play until there is a winner.

 

Obits will not be stringent (more akin to Deathrace requirements). However the Game Controller will be checking that picks meet the category criteria at the start of the game.

 

A unique pick is considered unique in category. For example if two categories were Conservative MPs and Contestants on Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars and three players picked Edwina Curry in the first category and the fourth player picked her in the second category. If she eggspired then Player 4 would get a unique bonus.

 

As Game Controller I will not submit a team but when a winner is declared the Game Controller passes to the victor and they get to select the new categories. (However I shudder at Sir C’s picks of College Presidents and Baseball Players)

 

The Categories for the first game are

 

1.Actors (generic term covering M & F) who have appeared in Doctor Who

2.Current or retired members of the UK House of Lords

3.Participants in the US presidential elections (Presidents, Vice Presidents First and Second Ladies, Challegners and their running mates)

4.International Test Cricketers

5.Artist who have had a UK No. 1 Hit single (either solo or as part of a group)

 

Please PM me your teams to avoid revealing those unique picks. This will also help because I am going to China next week.

 

Starting Date is 01 June 2016.

Oh my, here we go...thank god for a spoiler sig!

I like the idea, but wow, these categories are tough.

[Bibliogryphon 9,592]

You only need five names for each though.

 

Wikipedia/IMDB will provide friendly advice.

 

Even though I am not playing I came up with six names in every category without reference to the internet.

Actually, this sounds unique and possibly fun. I take it #3 is all time, and not just this year?

 

Luckily, Google exists for #4.

Yeah anyone whose names was on a presidential ticket. Not the people vying for the nominations. So George Bush x 2 Yes, Jeb Bush No.

[Deathray 2,941]

Thank god for the internet with those categories.

[RadGuy 1,614]

I'll join. After a long time on Google.

[Switch 141]

Sent. Hopefully I'm the first one to send it in and my picks are unique.

[ImNotHades 207]

I can do 3 and 5 easy....the rest is a mystery to me, especialy 4 (I dind't know cricket was that important)......so I'll probably skip this one

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

Aside from the fact I don't really fancy running the game, this sounds like great fun! And, like you Biblio, I could come up with enough names off the bat for all categories. But if you don't mind, I'll do a little research and get back to you. But I'm in!

[YoungWillz 21,076]

Ok, so my team YoungWillz Tombola Topplers sent to BiblioG.

 

Hopefully they will survive to the start date and I won't need to think of subs.

[Death Impends 8,008]

Sounds like an interesting game. Will turn something in later this month after a shitton of Googling.

[Toast 16,156]

I shall be having a go at this, but will need to give it some thought.

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

I'll do it and your mom but this as well!

If you don't know the subject there is a cricket thread on here and you can always go for obvious ones e.g. Geoff Boycott which might just scupper someone else's uniques.

 

You might get lucky.

You said that......

Oh, ok also didn't know there's a cricket thread gracias

 

edit: I'll give it a try later today

[RadGuy 1,614]

Not a fan of any of these topics really, except the US election participants.

 

So I basically just picked a bunch of old people. I guess I should have research if there's a cricketer with cancer, or a former lord with dementia. But that takes up time... and you know... ugh...

[Bibliogryphon 9,592]

I have picked topics close to me. I did try to have some that weren't too Anglocentric but even International cricket is a bit English. Who knows what the winner will choose?

I can promise you these topics are going to look particular generous if I ever run the game.

[ImNotHades 207]

Do I post it here or just send it to you?

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

I'd suggest post it here or else we'll end up picking the same people.

[Toast 16,156]

Bibliogryphon specified in his opening post that teams were to be PM'd to him.

[time 8,626]

My team is duly PM'd!
