Pogaphant - Reveal 18th Jan Pogaphant - Reveal 18th Jan

01-17-2018 , 11:45 AM
I don't see a reveal for tomorrow so I guess I'll fill in this gap.

Elephant is a game where the last letter of your answer must be the first letter of your next answer.

e.g.

1). Food
2). Singer
3). Language
4). Sport

could yield the answers:

Caeser Salad
Dione Warwick
Korean
Netball

The reason it's called this is because it's kinda like a chain of elephants with the tail of an elephant being held by the trunk of the elephant behind it.

The scoring is just like sheep with the only difference in the game being the start/end letter requirements.

The worst thing about a game of Elephant is when you get out of step with other people then it's very unlikely that you get back in step with them and you ACE your way to the end. It's a minor miracle when you get out of step and find your way back. To try to combat this I'm going to give you a middle point to aim towards and then lead off from. This gives you two separate chances to match other people.

I want you to give me the names of 8 Poggers. You can use full usernames or abbreviations/nicknames (whatever you want to fit the start/end letter requirements).
Example: I could be "xander biscuits" "xander" "xb" or even "biscuits" if you needed those letters in that place.

Edit: But I'm actually fixed in place as "xander biscuits". I just used myself as an example of what you could do to other people's usernames.

Summary:
#4 must end with an X
xander biscuits
#5 must begin with an S


RESEARCH OK
NO DUPLICATES

List of Poggers
1).
2).
3).
4).
*). xander biscuits
5).
6).
7).
8).

PM ME A LIST OF YOUR 8 ANSWERS WITHOUT THE NUMBERS (YOU SHOULDN'T PM ME MY NAME)

Should be easy enough to follow if you've played elephant before, but if you're unsure of anything then don't hesitate to ask.

So I assume we include what version of your name we are using so an entry has 9 lines.
01-17-2018 , 12:15 PM
Send me 8 lines (not xander biscuits)

I'm fixed in place as exactly xander biscuits and I've edited the OP to hopefully make things a little clearer

Thanks

in and instaresubmitted because I can't follow directions until I read them

FAIL expected.
01-17-2018 , 03:02 PM
ok
01-17-2018 , 03:06 PM
In and only read some of the OP; I regret the title of my PM which shows I failed to read the entire OP. LOLME

Are you grouping "xb" with "xander biscuits"? (Just using that as an example, I understand your clarification)
01-17-2018 , 06:46 PM
Just hoping to avoid a last place finish here.
01-17-2018 , 09:48 PM
In with an entry I think is at least technically correct. Coming up with an entry, especially working backwards from the seed, was a royal pita
01-17-2018 , 09:55 PM
Every so often I think I'd like to play a sheep variant.

Then I click on the thread and realize I can't possibly concoct a passable entry, so I bow out in silent shame.
01-17-2018 , 10:00 PM
Don’t let that stop you VR, some of us are here to ensure you won’t finish last

Do DarkMagus's then. Surely you can concoct an entry in 30 minutes.

it's pretty tough to match people in elephant so yeah I will

Must have the same start letter to be grouped but you don't need the same end letter will be my ruling on this
01-18-2018 , 02:49 AM
16 in so far

20 for a turbo elephant perhaps?

ack, this would have made coming up with a failing entry a LOT easier. I assumed the strictest interpretation. (I think this relaxed one might make it even harder to match though)
01-18-2018 , 08:11 AM
Ya, not sure relaxed grouping is a great idea for this. Leaves the door open for some serious angling.

Doesn't change my already submitted entry anyway
01-18-2018 , 08:35 AM

01-18-2018 , 12:03 PM
in
01-18-2018 , 02:49 PM
in... at least I got Q4.5 correct...
01-18-2018 , 03:01 PM
In. I did not see too many other good options, but I am sure I missed something.
01-18-2018 , 03:54 PM
We have reached 20 entries and you've still got at least 3 hours before reveal time to get your entry in
01-18-2018 , 04:27 PM
in, could well be last
