Cathy!!! Good job!! Great game! Hope we can do it again sometime.

ETA- I really learned a few things while researching some of the stuff here. Here's an interesting tidbit for someone like me that LOVES her vinyl---Did you know that the original pressings of Eagles Live has phrases engraved on the carryout grooves? Now of course I want an original pressing. Here's the wiki article that I found about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagles_Live

and the part about it....
Vinyl record notes

• The record labels were custom, showing a birds nest filled with eggs and hand grenades.

• Original pressings of this double-album had text engraved in the carry-out grooves on each side:
• Side 1: Is it illegal to yell "movie!" in a firehouse?
• Side 2: "Hello, Federal?...Ship it!"
• Side 3: Not Tonight, Thanks...
• Side 4: ...Ive gotta rest up for my monster"

• The carry-out groove of the fourth side did not fade to silence as was customary for the vast majority of records. Instead, the crowd noise continued, even into the final-loop groove. Thus for those listening on manual turntables, the applause would not end until the listener removed the stylus from the disc.

Pretty cool huh? I always loved the last part about the carry-out groove on the fourth side never going silent till you pick up the needle.

Thanks everybody! I thought I'd lost there for a couple of rounds! Unlike the real game, timing is very important in this game and I just lucked out at the end. Also unlike the real version, we were able to research our answers before posting. Would I have won an actual game of Eagles Trivial Pursuit against all of you... NO WAY!!!!

LTL, you tied up with me the last couple of rounds because I didn't get here in time to answer the questions in the categories I needed. I thought for sure that you were going to pull it off. All you needed was blue, and that last blue Eagles question was hard! I couldn't find the answer! So kudos to you for almost coming up with the win. Again, timing eventually worked in my favor.

Thanks to Soda and Dreamer for coming up with the game and the prize. It was a fun game to play.

Congrats PM and enjoy your prize!!!

This was really fun...I agree with everything everyone else has said, including thank you to SS and Dreamer for setting up the game!!! I had a hard time getting to the board for the first couple of questions, but looked forward to playing each day...this was the first thread I looked for when I signed in to the board

Great idea!!!

Glad you liked the game, guys! Maybe we could do more of these!

So, in that spirit, do we have any feedback? Anything you think might work better to make the game more fun?

For instance, were the questions too easy or too hard?

Should we allow more people to answer, maybe have two cards per round?

Should we allow people who have already gotten a certain color piece to answer that color again?

Should we make the rounds a different length - perhaps one day instead of two?

Any other feedback?

[EagleLady]

I like the Idea of having two cards per round, that way we don't end up answering the same Color Question again

Congratulations Cathy! Well done!

Thanks to Soda and Dreamer, too, for putting it all together. I didn't think I would make it to the board to play much, but I actually did.

As far as changing anything, I liked it just like it was.

Congratulations, Prettymaid!!!

I'll send you a PM later about your prize. I must say that I was very impressed with everyone's knowledge about the band.

Thanks everyone for your participation and nice comments. However, as I said earlier, Soda really did do most of the work once we figured out how we thought the game should work. (Ask her how much fun making all those little color wheel combinations was). Hopefully, everyone had a lot of fun with it, and it will be interesting to get feedback for any future games.
