I’m good with d1 and Eleanor and I think pc so I’m pretty good voting borninabin and ending early without spewing

I’m okay ish with pc but definitely need more from borninabin

Yeah i'm good with waiting for borninabin to elaborate which he said he'd do, best to be quiet until he's around

My clue is not directly related to the sport of the athlete.
It is linked to an existing person or fictional character who
- has something in common with this athlete, or another athlete of the same sport that is ± as famous as them.
& has something in common with a fictional character, which has something in common with the athlete.

There is a third, more direct connection that may or may not be related to the other two.

I'm trying not to be too spewy but can still be less vague.

If you know enough to see the same connection to D1's clue as I have in mind, you probably have done enough research before giving your clue, to also be able to make a connection to bouncing.

My answers is now pretty much locked in and unlikely to change

This makes me either think you know the word/have a good read on Eleanor and D1 seeming trustworthy, or PC94 or even D1 got lucky with their clue. Hard to tell which one, though
Can still spew more if asked btw, better be too spewy than not find the chameleon. Eleanor, you do trust nich?

PC your clue can hit almost all the board, with your sport knowledge, why so vague?

Around five-ish hours left?

Having too much knowledge on a subject can be a burden in this game, previous games confirm that lol and besides 'solo' is a pretty confusing clue for the chameleon to understand considering one of the sports person name is Solo

Little over an hour to go

Votes are in. Everyone voted borninabin except himself and he voted nich.

Bornabin is NOT the father.

Sorry, chameleon. He wasn't the chameleon.

Good job, pc

Guess on the athlete for fun?

Think the fact the whole thread was quieter than a usual game helped me out lol

Haven't got a clue who it is, can make connections to nearly everyone

If I had to guess would probably go with Hope Solo, hilarious if it is, Japan for the WC, subway for the American connection, PlayStation for FIFA? And goalkeepers like to bounce the ball before releasing it

I was so close to switching to PC but lost track of time haha. Borninabin way of clearing was the vaguest thing ever but “solo” hits everything. Should have gone with gut.

Good job PC

It was Tony Hawk, which made it hard since I don’t know a lot about him or skateboarding


Tony Hawk 1,2,3 are all in top 50 games sold on original PlayStation, thus my clue


Skateboarding is a solo sport which is why I gave you a somewhat pass but you were next after borninabin if he had cleared himself

From signup thread:


outdrawed
nich
D1ab
eleanor
borninabin
PC

So I’m up next to mod

Haha of course it's the guy who I know the least about

Sorry, will try and do a better job next time. My clue was referring to what wiki describes as 'excessive energy' of Hawk. Tigger is like the personification of that, hence the choice of wording. Thought the word would convey a lot of energy.

When you mentioned fictional character I actually thought

Tigger -> Owl -> Hawk

But I didn’t think i was actually right

Well, that was unfortunate. First reaction from the clues was PC, but your posts made it almost impossible not to vote for you. Tony Hawk is one of the biggest PS franchises of all time, so not understanding Nich's clue was already strange. But my clue was also directly related to the game (Japan Air), so you couldn't really undertand mine and not his.

Yup, this was pretty much my thought process. Honestly I also thought my clue was too obvious and a chameleon would get it, but borninabin took any heat off pc which would have led him away from my obvious clue

Oh haha, really didn't know about the franchise. Only thing I did know was he was a skateboarder and probably US. Did skim the wiki before cluing and learnt that he was born near the pacific ocean, but failed to read about the famous ps franchise.

Sooooooo
