Decades '17 Guidelines

#1 Post by I Love Decades! » Wed Sep 27, 2017 8:52 pm

Please follow these simple guidelines when playing Decades '17:

1. Decades '17 begins October 2 and ends October 16 with perhaps another bonus day thrown in.

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.

3a. Decades '17 will 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

3b. There will be typically be four or five categories per day with a varying number of points available each day (around 22 to 30).

The following ten-year periods will be covered:
1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s

4. Please use the =spoiler button to hide your answers and use only one per post. Please don't make me unspoilerize every answer. Also, the use of spoiler space is not sufficient. Cover 'em up.

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!

9. Everyone is invited to play. That means everyone. Really. Even you.

Is a dink anything like a dotard?
