Decades '16 Guidelines
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 6:03 am
Please follow these simple guidelines:
1. Decades 2016 begins May 4 and ends May 20.
2. Each game will typically be posted early (0700-0730) Eastern time on weekdays and remain open until the results are posted, usually the next morning. All Friday games remain open through the weekend. Please use spoilers for all answers.
3. I'll be using the same structure as before. You'll see these categories:
KINGS & QUEENS
FADS & CRAZES
WINNERS & LOSERS
ACTORS & LINES
SLOGANS & SPOKESMEN
COMING & GOING
CATS & DOGS
WORDS & MUSIC
WILL & GRACE
AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS
TV SHOWS & THEME SONGS
BEFORE & AFTER
LOVE & MARRIAGE
The following ten-year periods will be covered:
50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s
4. As before, games can be one topic, different decades, different categories, same decade, different categories same year, mix and match. The points will vary from day to day.
5. No outside sources allowed, this includes previous posts on the board. Don't cheat, it's not becoming.
6. Humorous posts and retorts are encouraged for the good of the Bored, but I don't give out humor points. I have a hard enough time just getting the regular scores somewhat correct!
7. I try my best to avoid ambiguous wording in the questions. Please don't be a dink if the wording is not perfect.
8. Have fun!
