This...is...Jeopardy: The progressive rock edition! I have six categories of five questions each. The rules are fairly straightforward (especially if you've seen the show): 1. The first person to reply can choose a category and a point value. 2. Once I give the clue, anyone is welcome to reply with their response (you must phrase the answer in the form of a question!) 3. I will keep track of points. If you answer correctly, you get the points and must choose the next category and point value. If you get it wrong, the points will be deducted from your score. 4. For the sake of simplicity, there are no daily doubles (I couldn't think of a feasible way to implement this). 5. When all the clues are exhausted, the game is over, and I'll announce the winner. If there is enough interest, I'll continue creating new boards for play. I'm unemployed right now, so I have all the time in the world to handle this. The categories will be in my next post. Once they are posted, anyone may jump in and take their pick. |

Yes, my bad. I edited it. I'll get used to it after another post or two.  -------------

Ha! I actually meant to make a rule about editing posts. But, ex-post facto and all that. So from now on, you can't edit your posts, or your response doesn't count! So, Moving Pictures, it's your board. Point for you. |

Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 16:42
Sorry about that. I forgot about the whole question thing while I was posting my response since I wanted to get it in quickly.  Hmm... Gentle Giant again. We'll do 2 this time. -------------

Then you'll get this. Gentle Giant - 4 The work of this French author, who died in 1553, inspired some of Gentle Giant's songs. |

Gentle Giant - 5 This is the first proper noun sang on Octopus. HA! |

Yikes. Let me think about that one. Now I'm going to be mentally going through the lyrics of each song. Thanks! -------------
|
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:16
Wait, first proper noun? Well, the first song is Advent of Panurge so wouldn't that just be Charaton Bridge? Does that count? I'll go with that and see what happens.  What is Charaton Bridge? -------------

|
I hope. Hmm... crap. I'm not so sure how I'll do on any of the others, but I'll go with the one that is seemingly containing the questions I'd be able to expect the most. Foxtrot for 1. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:20

Easy enough. Foxtrot - 1 This is the first instrument heard on Foxtrot. |

Zeuhl for 5. Crap, that's not there. Ummmm...... H2O for 5. ------------- |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:24
|
He should seriously make a Zeuhl category. Though I think a Rush category would give me much better odds. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:29
|
That was weird. For some reason I only saw King By-Tor's response at the time. Weird. I'll make the correction. Anyway, H20 Music -5 He wrote the score for the movie Quicksilver starring Kevin Bacon. |

No clue there. Oh well, I assume King or Jake will get it.

Yep, I'm a Zappa freak. How about Greek Mythology for 3? -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:42
|
You must be. Sheesh! Okay, Greek Mythology - 3 The subject of "The Fountain of Salmacis" is the son of what two deities? |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:44
|
Bah. I should know that, but I can't think of it. I'll let someone else have it, as I have to leave for a bit anyway. Be back later! -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 17:45
| All right Alex. You've got 19 points. By the way, I'm EST, so I'll be in bed around 10pm and be back some time in the morning. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 18:46
|
I'm EST as well. No one's still gotten it? Hmm. I think David would know though. When he'll be online I don't know. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 18:55
| Well, I'd thought of this before, but should I make something of time limit? I mean, it may very well be that no one knows the answer. Although this one's pretty easy. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:00
Possibly... it all depends on how many other people attempt the answer to this question. I know someone else must know it, and I'd very well think David would. I still am thinking I know the answer deep down but I can't think of it. Mythology never was one of my strongest suits, though. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:01
|
Nuts to it. Let's keep going. (Buzzer sounds) The correct answer is "Hermes and Aphrodite." Hence, "hermaphrodite." Go ahead Alex. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:02
|
Alright. Hmm... H2O for 1. Edit: Typo -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:04

No prob. You weren't answering. H2O - 1 He worked with Robert Fripp before becoming a "Lucky Man" with two other musicians. |

Foxtrot for 2. And this really was a good idea, by the way. I know I'll be contributing to it.  Fridays are always slow, so I think you should get some other people participating quite a bit soon as well. -------------

Well, before the county closed the school where I worked, I used Jeopardy every Friday, both as an incentive and as a means of reinforcing content. It made me incredibye popular among my students (who were in my school because they'd gotten kicked out of regular school). I love making up Jeopardy questions. Foxtrot - 2 "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" is a song about this Danish king. |

|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:43
|
Nobody's going to steal it from you. Good guess. Still your turn (I'm seriously thinking about providing prizes, even though my album won't be out until about Christmas- would that appeal to you and others, do you think?). |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: October 24 2008 at 19:46

Seriously? Wow. I just shot in the dark there. That sounds like a good prize, I think. Other people will have to input their opinions too once they start playing. Day for 4. -------------
