"Name That Eagle" Game

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay folks – time to try out a new game to test our Eagles knowledge. This one has pretty simple rules and is not heavily dependent on a moderator. The way it works is that each player will post a fact about one of the past or present members of the Eagles, and the next poster answers with the correct Eagle. The trick is that the sentence must start with the words “This Eagle …” i.e.

“This Eagle is the lead singer on the song Those Shoes.”

The next player answers the question (in the above example the answer is Don Henley), and then posts their own question starting with “This Eagle …” and so on. If the question has more than one answer, you only need to give one name, i.e.

“This Eagle has a writing credit for the song Earlybird.”

Answer: Bernie or Randy

Each player will earn 1 point for every correct answer. However, there will be a point deducted from your score if you give an incorrect answer. In addition, there will be a point deducted if you post an inaccurate question that can’t be answered, i.e.

“This Eagle is the father of six children”.

I will periodically update the thread with a recap of each player’s score. The game starts now, and will end at 8:00 p.m. EST on Friday, August 27th. At that time, the player with the highest score is the winner. Soda will be donating a prize to the winner, which is a “Very Best of Don Henley” CD. I am going to participate in the game, but will not be eligible to win.

If you get stuck on a question to ask, just visit one of the online sites in the EOC network. You’re bound to be able to find something to ask. :wink:

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.

I counted one question as being answered incorrectly: The question about which Eagle had released two self-titled albums was answered as Timothy B. Schmit. The correct answer is Randy Meisner. In addition, I counted the question as to which Eagle is a vegan as an inaccurate question. None of the past or present Eagles is a vegan to the best of my knowledge.

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.

It’s not too late for anyone to participate, so feel free to join in. I may have made a mistake to let the game go on for two weeks, but, hopefully, we can keep the game interesting for the duration. If not, just like always, I ‘live and learn’ as the saying goes. :thumbsup:

Now, Tequila Girl - you'll have to help me out here. I don't know if the answer given to this question of yours is correct or not.


This Eagle said "I have no regrets for the period we were young. It was OK to be crazy. But now, man, you can't do most of the things we used to get away with."

The answer was given as Glenn Frey. Since I don't know if that is correct, please tell us. If not, please let us know which Eagle it was, and when did he say that?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Now - to continue with the game ... the insidious troublemaker is ...

Joe Walsh

=============

Now, Tequila Girl - you'll have to help me out here. I don't know if the answer given to this question of yours is correct or not.



The answer was given as Glenn Frey. Since I don't know if that is correct, please tell us. If not, please let us know which Eagle it was, and when did he say that?

The Answer is Joe Walsh - I'll have to retrace my steps to find where it came from - please bear with me!

[timfan]

Don Henley

----------------------------

This Eagle has horses on his property

[tequila girl]

I'm going to guess at Don Henley - simply because he lives in Texas

This Eagle said recently

"At this point in time, we really enjoy playing with each other. It's a love hate thing. But we've learned to forgive and respect each other's spaces."

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well the game is officially over, but to wrap things up here before I post the results, I believe that Timothy is the Eagle that has horses on his property. As far as your quote TG - I have no idea who said that. It sounds like something that any of the four current members would say. I tried to do a search on the sites, but nothing came up. :shrug:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

So now - for the final results of the game...
