FEDERGORIES

Thursday April 17
by Angelfowl

We had an excellent turn-out for this weeks Federgories as five players joined me on this evening: Andrew, Drizzt, Mistert, Stiddleficks, and after a round or two, Davidh joined in.

This week I decided to try a difficult category (even for me!) Geography; I decided it would be fun to see who could come up with the most interesting answers.

The first one was US Cities starting with S. Well, apparently everyone likes Seattle because both Mistert and Drizzt said that, and Andrew got the only point for San Antonio.

The next category had some confusion, European Countries starting with B - for some reason half of the players thought I mean European Cities. Mistert said " Brussels" and Andrew said " Bologna" so they failed to score. Only Drizz got a point for " Belgium."

Then we had a Fed round, Fed Players starting with A. I didn't know whether to give Mistert a point or slap him because he said: "Angry Angelfowl." Andrew said, well, "Andrew" and Drizz came in with "Armani."

After that Davidh showed up and decided to join in the fun.

The next category, I thought would be fun, US Presidents starting with J. I told them they could put First or Last name. Well, to my shock they all matched each other except for Stiddleficks who came up with "Andrew Johnson." Everyone else sent in either "Lyndon Johnson" or "John F Kennedy"

Then we did Mountain Ranges of the World, and Stiddleficks had to leave after that, but at least she got herself a few points before she left!

Next we did a Fed round involving Systems starting with D, Then Seas of the world starting with B, Then Common Street names starting with H. We followed up with our final Fed round which was Fed planets starting with S. Two people said Sumatra, and Davidh got two points for "Stormy" and Mistert also got two points also for "Somewhere."

Finally we came to the Bonus Round, and after a quick review of how it worked we started. The Category was "Countries in Africa."

After the 60 seconds were up, it took me another 10 minutes to weed through it all and finally I gave them the score everyone got for the round plus their answers:

Davidh, "Zimbabwe, Zambia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, Grenadine"
Andrew, "Somalia, South Africa Egypt, Mozambique, Libya"
Mistert, "Cote d'Ivoire, Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Sudan, West Africa, South Africa"
Drizzt, "South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Congo"

Davidh got 4 points that round, Drizzt and Andrew got 3, and Mistert got 2!

The final scores were:

Stiddleficks in 4th with 2
Drizzt in 3rd with 8
Andrew and Davidh in 2nd with 9
And finally Mistert in first place with 13 points!!!

Congratulations to the winner, and thanks to everyone who played. Join us again next week for another game of Federgories, every Thursday at 10.00pm eastern.
