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.
November 22, 2013 at 4:47 pm
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.
November 22, 2013 at 9:41 pm
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.
November 22, 2013 at 10:14 pm
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.
November 23, 2013 at 11:07 am
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.
November 23, 2013 at 11:22 am
Just depends on how quickly people sign up. I’ll be mindful of holidays, don’t worry.
November 23, 2013 at 11:28 am
Well, I’ll be out of town Wednesday through Tuesday. If it’s happening then, I’m out.
November 23, 2013 at 11:00 pm
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).
November 23, 2013 at 7:38 pm
I’ll play
November 24, 2013 at 2:20 pm
Wait. When does this start? Am I too late!?
November 24, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Too late! Someone won it with their answer in Childhood Memories, Letter M with “Melissa’s Marvelous Middle School Mammaries”
November 24, 2013 at 3:01 pm
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!
November 24, 2013 at 3:10 pm
Beau’s Bangs. Get it right
November 24, 2013 at 3:12 pm
I thought we agreed never to bring up our home videos again.
November 24, 2013 at 3:11 pm
Colin’s the one with the bang fetish.
November 24, 2013 at 2:27 pm
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.
November 24, 2013 at 3:49 pm
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
November 24, 2013 at 4:27 pm
Am I too late? Because if not, count me in.
If so, I blame you making the rules specifically to exclude me.
Because rivalry.
November 24, 2013 at 5:44 pm
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.
November 24, 2013 at 6:11 pm
Like you need to assign fake categories. Ask spooky what my last Scattergories board looked like.
November 25, 2013 at 10:57 am
This seems fun. I’m in.
November 25, 2013 at 9:48 pm
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.
November 25, 2013 at 10:31 pm
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.
November 25, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Sounds fun! Thanks!
November 26, 2013 at 8:24 am
I’m in, of course.
November 26, 2013 at 8:32 am
Nice effort, but you’ve been eliminated. Thanks for playing!
November 26, 2013 at 3:18 pm
It sounds like fun! I currently have 15 free minutes a week, so count me in.
November 26, 2013 at 3:50 pm
Make that 0!
November 27, 2013 at 11:23 am
In.
November 27, 2013 at 11:31 am
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.
November 27, 2013 at 11:46 am
<– Shatnergories?? Sign me up!
November 27, 2013 at 11:47 am
oh, wait. well, too late now — okay Alex, I’ll play your little game.
November 30, 2013 at 10:46 am
Oh good, Erik and I are judges. Kelly’s answers don’t stand a chance.
November 30, 2013 at 12:24 pm
Mike, if you value your championship, I swear to you…
