    So if you see me walking all alone, don't look back. I'm just on my way back home.

    From the rules of the game:
    However, there will be a point deducted from your score if you give an incorrect answer.

    Think that answer should actually have five points deducted for incorrect spelling.

    Okay folks – I think it’s time to do a recap of the scores. I tried to import a table in my post, but I couldn’t get it to work, so I’m going to just have to post the results like this …

    Key:

    # QA – Number of questions answered
    # CA – Number of correct answers
    # IA – Number of incorrect answers
    # IQ – Number of inaccurate questions


    EagleLady – # QA – 5, #CA – 5, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +5

    EaglesFanatic – # QA – 3, #CA – 2, # IA – 1, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +1

    whitcap – # QA – 9, #CA – 9, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +9

    tequila girl – # QA – 8, #CA – 8, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +8

    Glennhoney – # QA – 1, #CA – 1, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +1

    Freypower – # QA – 4, #CA – 4, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +4

    pueblo47 – # QA – 3, #CA – 3, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +3

    TimothyBFan – # QA – 6, #CA – 6, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +6

    MikaA – # QA – 1, #CA – 1, # IA – 0, # IQ – 0 = Total Score +1

    I counted one question as being answered incorrectly: The question about which Eagle was a big environmentalist was answered as Timothy B. Schmit. While I’m sure Tim must care about the environment, I'm not aware of him being an environmental activist or being labeled as an environmentalist. Therefore, I would say the obvious answer to this should be Don Henley.

    Be sure to check your score to make sure that I calculated it correctly. Unless I hear from someone that I made an error, this is going to be the official score at this point.

    Here are a few reminders about the rules:

    • I had originally said that every statement must start as “This Eagle is …” However, since many players aren’t following this, I’m going to change this and say that your statement must start as just “This Eagle …” You can choose the verb you want to use. I’m going to amend my original post for anyone who may just be reading this.
    • I didn’t include this in the rules, but as with most of the games that we play here, the rule is that you are not allowed to edit your posts. So starting now, no changes to any of your questions or answers. If you make a typo or misspell anything, it will count as long as it is obvious what you meant. However, if there is any question about what you meant, it will not count.
    • I made an error in my original post about how the score would be calculated. I said that 1 point would be deducted for an incorrect answer. I meant to say that you would not receive any credit (0) for an incorrect answer, and I would deduct 1 point for an inaccurate question. However, I’m going to leave it the way I originally posted it and calculate the score as I posted. I don’t think that the way the final score is going to be tallied should be changed in the middle of the game.
    • For those who may want to participate, but aren’t interested in competing for the win, that is fine. Please feel free contribute to the thread as often as you wish.

    If you have any questions about the game, please post it here. Chances are if you’re unclear about something, then somebody else is as well.
