Adobe’s Gameshow Signup

Ok, so not really a gameshow this time. We’ll be playing Scattergories. Same point reward structure I imagine, with a loser’s bracket again for those interested. This will play very similarly to regular scattergories, with a few scoring differences and category changes between letters. There will also be a small puzzle/clue element for extra points in each round.

If you are not big on Scattergories but you do enjoy judging people and controlling their fate, then sign up to be a judge, as I will need two of those. I imagine Kelly would give you some CJ points for that too.

    I’m biting off more than I can chew at this point, but I love this game and will definitely play.

    I hate Scattergories and the most enjoyment I get out of it is judging people’s answers so I will be a judge if you still need one.

    I’ll play. But so help me, when the category is “name something that is a certain color” then the thing named must be almost always, and exclusively, of that color. You can’t just name something that is any number of possible colors.

    I’ll play, but only if there’s a “name something that is a certain color” and I can just name whatever I want and claim that there is definitely such a thing as an orange grape.

      If you’re going with orange, then you have to pick “poop dinosaur” as your thing, right?

      When does this start? I might play, but with the holidays coming up, I’ll probably be out of town.

        Just depends on how quickly people sign up. I’ll be mindful of holidays, don’t worry.

          Well, I’ll be out of town Wednesday through Tuesday. If it’s happening then, I’m out.

      Look, there’s a reason that actual Scattergories doesn’t have very many of the “color” topics (only black and white, if I remember correctly).

      Too late! Someone won it with their answer in Childhood Memories, Letter M with “Melissa’s Marvelous Middle School Mammaries”

        They were definitely not marvelous in middle school, so this must be some other Melissa. Besides, I thought it was my BANGS that so enthralled everybody!

            I thought we agreed never to bring up our home videos again.

    I’ll play, so long as we’re not really getting into it this week. I just need about a week of sleep right now.

    I’m not a huge fan of on-line Scattergories, but I’m currently undefeated in Ryan’s Cutthroat Junction games, so I better try to keep up that streak

    Am I too late? Because if not, count me in.
    If so, I blame you making the rules specifically to exclude me.
    Because rivalry.

      Like I would try to exclude you. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to assign you fake categories and make you look foolish when your answers didn’t fit the real categories whatsoever.

        Like you need to assign fake categories. Ask spooky what my last Scattergories board looked like.

    This seems fun. I’m in.

    Will there be any backstabbing or other tomfoolery in this game? I like scattergories; I’ll play! But like others, I’m about to be out of town for Thanksgiving.

    1. adobery’s avatar

      I’ve considered a couple non-standard Scattergories features, but no backstabbing, tomfoolery stuff. That’s what pretty much every CdL/CJ game is so keeping it mostly just your own performance in these.

      I’ll likely make the boards available over the holiday weekend for those avoiding family, but the due dates won’t be until after.

      Nice effort, but you’ve been eliminated. Thanks for playing!

    It sounds like fun! I currently have 15 free minutes a week, so count me in.

    Huh, I thought I’d signed up for this already. I can’t lose if I don’t sign up.

    So sign me up, already.
