ABBA Songs In Pictures!!
Just thought of a new idea for a game as I was drifting off to sleep- let's see if it sounds as good now that I'm lucid......... :lol:

The idea I had in mind was to post a pic that (hopefully) describes an ABBA song; your job would be to guess the song that each pic describes.

For instance:

















.........would describe The Winner Takes It All.


Another:

















..........would describe Ring Ring.

First to guess puzzle puts up next one, as is custom.

Sounds good? Let's go, then!! :thumbup:

First puzzle to follow, underneath this post-

Matt

Fire&Ice - 30.04.2007, 22:42

That would be Two For The Price Of One!

Lammer - 01.05.2007, 08:32

Matt,
GREAT IDEA! A+ for you! :wink:

Ivana's could also be "Our Last Summer," which is set in Paris.

Bruce, could it be "Sitting in a Palm Tree?"

Okay, I know how to post ABBA pics, because I copy them from other threads, but I don't know how to post other pics, although I'm sure it has something to do with Photobucket. However, as I should be doing some work right now and not playing, I'm not going to figure that out now. :oops:

Soooo, if I may have the liberty-- Picture this:
A dancing banana with a headful of fruit.

(I'm sorry for not following the rules, but I wanted to play.)

Yup- Get the link of the pic you want, paste it here, highlight it, and click Img up top. You're good to go.........:D

Quote: Soooo, if I may have the liberty-- Picture this:

Chiquitita? :wink:

I'm not sure, because I believe the bananas-on-the-head girl is "Chiquita," so will wait for Official Confirmation before posting next one......... :P

LoveAngel - 01.05.2007, 16:05

Waterloo....
Happy new year..

and....

blauwbloempje - 01.05.2007, 16:38

First 2 are correct, last one not :D It's my favourite!

Lammer - 01.05.2007, 19:04

Matt, Yes, it was Chiquitita, which sounds close to Chiquita (Banana)

I don't mean to step in when it's not my turn, but I want to try posting, as explained:



IT WORKED!! Thank you Ivana and Matt!!!!!
Sorry, gillxx, for taking your turn... :oops:
:)

ABBAnator - 01.05.2007, 21:50

Yes, it would be nice to have only one clue at a time otherwise it's could get a bit confusing to follow the thread. :wink:

I think you folks robbed Gill of her turn ...

(Bruce practicing his moderation skills :P )

Oh my goodness my post count is "666" :shock: I need to quickly make a legit post! That's bad luck! :? :lol:

kitty-cat - 01.05.2007, 22:13

No, its ok, someone else can do it. :roll:

Gill xx

Fire&Ice - 02.05.2007, 10:15

Correct Bruce!

Yes you are right, you can tell it from the URL but I was too lazy to change the pic name and put it into photobucket.. :P

Nantes - 02.05.2007, 15:30

Bruce could it be Bang-A-Boomerang!

Fire&Ice - 02.05.2007, 16:39

Well, this must be I Saw It In The Mirror, (though I doubt that was what BJORN saw in the mirror :lol: :lol: ) but let's wait for Bruce to confirm the Boomie picture. :wink:


:lol: :lol: Look what I found for Sitting In The Palmtree: :lol: :lol:



Bjorn among his coconuts, or have they all fallen on the ground! :excited:

PeopleNeedLove - 02.05.2007, 22:48

Matt

Lammer - 03.05.2007, 22:20

Is it a stage light? As in "Super Trouper" :?:

Lammer - 04.05.2007, 07:04

Wooooooo! and now I know how to post pics, too! Does the day get any better?

Okay, but no fair looking at the img description!


:)

Lammer - 04.05.2007, 10:17

Good one, Bruce, however I was being more direct. What's the name of the show?

:)

PeopleNeedLove - 04.05.2007, 11:38

^^ Shoot, John- You beat me........ :lol:

Matt

Lammer - 04.05.2007, 17:52

Yes, that is correct, JE! By the way, does anyone remember who really did shoot JR, in probably one of the first season cliffhangers ever?

Your turn John. Better luck next time, Matt! :wink:

Lammer - 05.05.2007, 06:16

*gasp* You were watching Dallas at the tender age of 3? :shock:
Yep, JR was messing around with his wife's younger sister, Kristin. It was so hard to believe this was the same man who played astronaut Tony Nelson!

Doubt it, or at the very least, I don't remember it. My parents, particularly my dad, did indeed watch it, though, so maybe......

I do remember the absolutely insane hype around the JR thing, so it probably stuck somehow- or maybe I read/heard it after the fact.......

FWIW-

Matt

Toni - 05.05.2007, 13:01

Or is it "Lovers"? or "Kisses Of Fire"?

Toni :wink1:

Fire&Ice - 05.05.2007, 16:42

I think I know which one it is, but I'll let Toni answer! :wink:

Lammer - 05.05.2007, 18:35

(What does FWIW mean a few posts back?)

Nantes - 05.05.2007, 20:19

Sorry Ivana but Toni is right. It was Kisses Of Fire.

Ok Toni now for your picture.

Toni - 05.05.2007, 22:18

Thank you John! Here is again something for Dallas Fans! What song is it?




Toni :D

Toni - 06.05.2007, 09:14

Yes thatŽs right!

I give you "green light" for the next one, Laura!



(this is not an ABBA song, just the green light for Laura)

Toni :D

spong - 06.05.2007, 11:30

hello

yes , lets stop talking in riddles eh? fwiw etc...we have already been told not to.

anyway:..I let the music speak?

Lammer - 06.05.2007, 23:05

Yes, John!

"So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good-bye!"

Your turn, John!

Nantes - 08.05.2007, 18:42

Laura your second picture didn't come through,
Could it be So Long!

Elaine waving and to empty chairs ?????

second picture just came through so I think I maybe wrong!!!!

PeopleNeedLove - 08.05.2007, 21:56

Elaine!!

Shoot, though- You took my idea for the next song. I was going to use the exact same idea.......... :lol:

Just watched the one when they pitch the idea to NBC about the guy with no insurance becoming the other guy's butler. Sorry to those who don't watch Seinfeld; I can't explain it with more detail without taking up 52 paragraphs......... :lol:

Anyway- Laura took Plan A; here's Plan B.........



Matt

Toni - 09.05.2007, 08:43

Cassandra (because the actress is Cassandra Peterson!)


Here is the next one:




Toni :wink:

Lammer - 09.05.2007, 17:36

Elvira was the character's name. The actress's name is Cassandra, and I think she has red hair. Well, that's what I would notice, anyway. :roll:

:)

Lammer - 09.05.2007, 20:06

Well, Toni, do you mind? We are having a very important conversation here. :roll:
Anyhow, I'm not sure about your pic. It looks like Romeo and Juliet, so the first thing that came to mind was Hamlet III, with the Shakespeare connection. I can't think of an ABBA song about star-crossed lovers or double-suicide. :?:

Toni - 09.05.2007, 23:49

Yes Ivana, you are right! :applause: :applause:


ItŽs your turn.

Gary, you can go on!


Toni :D

ABBAnator - 16.05.2007, 16:27

C'mon Gary, if your going to guess you have to be prepared to post another clue!

I think this is implied in the game rules.

(OK there aren't really any game rules ... but I'd like to get in on the game ... :P )

You are correct x 5!
Your turn, Ivana!

Lammer - 18.05.2007, 18:14

:roll: What's your wife's cell number, Bruce? I need to have a talk with her.
Anyway, regarding their masculinity, well, I included pics of the wedding. I can't help what may or may not have happened on the honeymoon. :wink:

Now be nice and let Ivana take her turn.

:lol: Well Laura ... I've been married for 21 years (in June) there's really nothing you could tell her that she doesn't already know. However, I refuse to give you her cell because the last thing I need is two women conspiring against me. (one is enough :wink: )

Lammer wrote: Anyway, regarding their masculinity, well, I included pics of the wedding. I can't help what may or may not have happened on the honeymoon. :wink:
Ahem ... I did say "masculinity", not "manhood". :? :lol:

OK back to the game:

If Ivana's guess is incorrect, then since that appears to be a mother and daughter, I guess "My Mama Said" or "I am just a girl" or "Mamma Mia".

Ok 3 guesses is cheating but I'm gonna get in this game one way or another! :twisted: :D If I can't I might get "Disillusion"ed. :rotfl:

while you are enjoying yourselves I am busy with doing the daddy's, housewife's and janitor's job. I am quite busy reading a whole lot of topics even if I find them totally boring, talk to people to explain things, sweep up after some who need help to post pics or quotes, remove and lock topics, discuss with the moderator staff how to handle things, play Mr. Bad Guy for the naughty children, in short, do all the things your mother has done for you when you were a kid happily playing on your playgrounds.

The fact is that I simply do not have the time to play.

But it's ok. Never mind. I'm not complaining. It's a self-chosen fate.

Nice lyrics (a la Bjorn) but can you compose a melody (a la Benny) to go with it? It can be our official site song. I think a lot of violins would sound well.

I'm not really "biting the hand that feeds me;" I'm just teasing. We all respect and truly appreciate your work, or we couldn't be here!

Thank you, I thought that was rather imaginative (all puns intended). I got the picture (without ABBA enhancement) from the internet. :D

No I don't play The Sims (when would I have the time? :P ), but my daughter was a Sims fanatic. She has all the original series games. Frankly I don't quite understand it because all they seem to do is work, watch TV, eat, sleep, use the bathroom ( :roll: ) and argue with one another. That's more or less real life, where's the game?? :lol:

I think that game was probably geared for women. :wink:

Maybe this game should have specific rules..

I am playing a "guess the screenie - which game and level" game in my beloved Tomb Raider Lara Croft Community forum, and what makes that game even more interesting is giving points. It is a kind of competition which starts from the scratch every week, with a new topic "guess the screenshot week 34"...

If the person who guessed the game correctly is prevented from posting a new screenshot within 1-2 hours, someone else posts it and gets 1/4 point. That is just to keep the game going. There is even a prize - the winner of the week carries a title "Keen Eye Of The Week" and a smiley of a cute blinking sheep called Gigi! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Which means that when Europe sleeps, people in America/Australia/New Zealand etc can have their share of fun as well. It works in that TR forum perfectly.

Joe's stealing 1/4 point from me! I didn't post yet, because Gary didn't give me the "green light."

Ivana, what is the penalty for stealing?



:)

ABBAnator - 13.06.2007, 06:09

Gary,

In the interest of moving the game along I would like to suggest a couple of things (These suggestions would be universal to everyone participating in the game):

1. Please be prepared to post another clue when a confirmation of a correct guess is made.

2. After posting a clue, please check back with the game to confirm a correct guess if one is made.

These suggestions are made only to keep the game moving along as many members have shown an interest to participate. We as moderators endeavor to make the site enjoyable for as many members as possible.

Ivana,

I'm not sure I completely understand your "scoring" system. I'm not sure whether turning the game into a competition of sorts is the way to go or not. It would however be a way to move the game along for those that cannot for whatever reason post a clue or confirm a guess. Since Matt is the author of the game perhaps he can add his opinion as well. A "poll" might not be a bad idea also as the game (of course) is meant for the entertainment of all that participate.

Thanks to everyone for understanding and cooperation.

And oh yeah, Have Fun! :wink:
Bruce

2/.2/5 won't work...have to keep it even and make it 4/10 so it goes with 1/4 and 1/8.
3/.i have actually answered within 24 hours and 2 mins...do i only loose 2/5 (or 4/10) or just the 1/8...if i know i'll loose points i will answer.

Laura, you sound just like the game-master over there, and this is just a fraction of an explanation as the game over there is more complex:

Quote:
(Clues/hints will be given if folks don't seem to be progressing so well , so if any poster of a screenshot will not be able to monitor people's guesses themselves, could they please PM the answer to me so that I can help provide the clues, as necessary.)

* Fine print subtleties (or do we mean complexities? ) about the 'Half-point rule':
(1) If 2 players guess correctly within a minute of each other, the second will gain half a point.
(2) If one player gives most of the correct information, only for another to give the rest of it (eg, a missing level name/number), then it is likely that the first player will be awarded ٠of a point and the second Πof a point.
(3) Sometimes a person may be deemed to be very close to the correct answer but not correct - eg, a guess of "game 4" of a series when the answer is game 3. Then a second person gives the complete correct answer, later. In this case the first person will receive half a point for being so close and the second Ÿ of a point (not a full point, despite the correct answer) because the first person's answer is deemed to have 'helped' a great deal. (Unless the second answer is within a minute of the first. In that case a full point will be scored, as the first answer couldn't 'reasonably' have been 'seen' by the second person .)
(4) On several occasions people have been unable to post a screenshot after having 'won' the previous point. (See discussion about players 'A' and 'B' above.) To 'reward' those in the position of 'player A' when this occurs (from now on) a Πpoint will be awarded for every 2 screenshots someone adds on behalf of others.
(5) The only people not allowed to guess a screenshot will be those who have scored at least half a point from the previous screenshot (as well as the builder of the game in question and the person who posts the screenshot, naturally, as stated above ).

And so it begins!

I am not sure I understand this system as well!

Mind, Lady Croft is sharing the third place in that screenshot game! :D

Anyway, I am not counting points etc etc as I have stated before as I easily make mistakes. I have just made a suggestion. Besides, it is recommended that a moderator does this job, and since this is incidentally Matt's topic, he should have a final word on everything. (Bruce is also a good candidate for the game-master thing :wink: )

If people don't want any point system, fine with me.

Plus, this scoring thing looks like a mathematical nightmare and my Calculus is rusty. :P

I, personally, think it would be a LOT more trouble than it's worth, but I'm certainly not going to be a party pooper and shut the door on the whole thing.

Just as long as I don't have to do that whole 1/4 point scoring thing......... :P

Matt, you don't have to deal with quarters of points - just one point for the correct guess!

There should be some rules as to what to do in case someone can't post a picture for a longer period of time.
