Seven Clues in Two Minutes

#1 Post by SportsFan68 » Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:28 pm

Right after I post the rules for Shade and others who don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

This is mostly to see what kind of aftermarket response there is. I see a few veteran faces around, so I'll post the rules quickly.

This entire first game will be played in this thread so as no to annoy the Bored Sweeper.

The most important rule is NO outside sources.

Guess only once per clue.

First player to guess correctly wins the game.

Before the Common Era.

Common use is trying to move away from "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini" (in the Year of Our Lord).
