Eagles Trivial Pursuit

Time for a new game...
Eagles Trivial Pursuit!


Prize:
A copy of Tim's new CD Expando (donated by Ive always been a dreamer)


Structure of the game:
This game has the same basic structure as Trivial Pursuit. There are 6 categories with 6 questions on each card, one per category. Each category is represented by a different color. If you get that question right, you get a wedge of that color. The object of the game is to correctly answer one question from each category and end up with six colored wedges. The first player to obtain all 6 wedges will be the winner.


Game Play:

I will post one “card” of six questions every other day. I will not always post the card at the same time of day, so keep checking back!

The first person to answer a question correctly from a category gets that color wedge. Once someone has answered a question correctly, it's "off the table."

When posting your answer, please put the category that the question pertains to. For instance, for the blue question "What was the Eagles' first album" you'd answer "Blue: Eagles LP."

You can only answer one of the questions on each “card.” If a person has already answered a category’s question correctly for that card, you must choose one of the other questions to answer. For instance, if one person answers the pink question on the card correctly, someone else can still try to answer a question from one of the other color categories.

This continues until each category’s questions have been answered or until the round is over, whichever comes first. Thus, up to six people can gain a color wedge per round. On the other hand, no single person will be able to get more than one color wedge per round.

I won't say if a question has been answered correctly until the end of the round. If you think that a person has gotten a question wrong, you can also answer that category's question with what you believe to be the right answer. For instance, if someone answers "What is Tim's middle name" with "Jean" and you know that's incorrect, you can post your answer - "Bruce."

When you answer a question correctly, I’ll put that color wedge in your pie. For instance, if you get a pink question right, I’ll have this image next to your name:

If you then get a green question right, this image is next to your name:

And so on and so forth until you get this:

Don't be discouraged if you fall behind - with this kind of game, a person can get stuck on a certain category and even though they start out way ahead, wind up not winning the game!


Here are the categories:

Oops! Forgot the 'I'. Hope it doesn't disqualify me!

Joe Walsh: Lucy was on the show Rock The Cradle

Just a couple of notes about the rules for everyone:

Typos and spelling errors won't disqualify an answer as long as it is clearly obvious what the answer is supposed to be.

Also, please remember that each player can only answer one question per round and the category or color should be included in the answer. Therefore, we will accept bernie's bender's first answer in the green category if it is correct. The blue category is still up for grabs this round.

Yellow: They're not here, They're not coming

Orange: Tom Petty

Eagles: On The Border

there is no answer for the green category because bernie´s bender has changed his post (previously, he has replied to both questions) after Dreamer and I have written our post!

Hmmm - not sure what's going on here. But Koala is right. bernie's bender had answered the questions for the green category first, and then also answered the blue category. So I was going to let his first answer stand, and let someone else answer the blue category, which is what Koala did. Not sure why bender decided to delete his first answer, but I guess that opens the green category back up if someone wants to answer it.

Green: Parrotheads

I assume edited posts are also not allowed. That's why I didn't edit my spelling error.

Well, PM, I think that is a good assumption. That's the way we play the Survivor games. It's not specifically stated in the rules here, but perhaps we need to add it if we play this game again.

sorry gang, I saw the rules post and realized I'd erred! so, I took one out...

didn't want to cause trouble... but, sometimes it just finds you!

New games are bound to come with confusion. Hope it doesn't stop you from playing!

Yeah, this is our first time out so there's going to be some kinks. Looks like folks around here really have their act together with their Eagles knowledge!

True, it is a new game it can not all be perfect!
By the confusion that through benders delete one of its answers originated ,
I get now naturally no wedge although I answered the question duly (because at this time, the blue question was open again)
but that's okay!
