Since most of the games have ended, I will be starting a game.
This game will be similar to the past few games (like AM's, koalagurl's, Nikki Smiles') that we (or most of us) have played. There will be 10 rounds. Each player will start out with 100 points.
Rules:
I will post the rules for each round. I will probably add/change some as we go along. I will specify how many answers to post in each round and how many points you may earn for each answer/set of answers.
If a player answers incorrectly or does not reply within a day or two, points may be deducted. Points deducted will vary, depending on how many points each answer/set of answers are worth.
For the bonus rounds, you cannot post back-to-back, but you can post after 2 hours after your own post (two-hour rule instead of one-hour).
Also, you do not have to go in the order you registered.
If you would like to participate, please register now or as soon as possible because registering late will be to your disadvantage and because I would like to start the game soon. Good luck to all!
Wow! 7 participants! I didn't think there would be this many. Anyway, I will start the game soon, maybe tonight (if I'm not too tired).
AM: You seem so excited!
Well, I have thought of some questions to ask but many questions have already been asked, since there have already been a few games played. I don't know if my questions will have a lot of answers or not (I didn't bother to check if they do or not), but I sure hope so. There will be a few rounds that is similar to others' games like AM's. (Sorry, AM, for copying your ideas). Again, good luck to all!
Just trying to raise enthusiasm :) Ideas are ideas, just as long as we get to have a lot of fun games to play :) In the future, I'll probably copy someone else's game if it's a good one. Hope you start tonight!
Round 1 Name an actor/actress (including the series) who has acted as or pretended to be a monk/nun. (10 pts)
Rules: 1. Name only ONE. After all players have gone once, you can post more (only TWO max per post) for bonus points (15 pts/30 pts). 2. Extra bonus points received if you could give an explanation of why that actor/actress became/pretended to be a monk/nun. (10-20 pts) 3. You will lose 10 points if you give an incorrect answer or fail to answer. 4. For the bonus rounds, you cannot post back-to-back, but you can post after 2 hours after your own post (two-hour rule instead of one-hour).
he was a bad person just like Benny Chan... so he was placed in the watchful eye of a monk who raised him up to follow the monk ways of life but he eventually became jealous of Benny Chan.
Nikki: I know your answer (Joey Leung in Journey to the West II) is right because he did become a monk (though he didn't shave his head), but your explanation is incorrect. Your explanation sounds more like Derek Kwok.
Anyway, I hope we can start the bonus round soon, since we only have one player left to reply :)
Okay... Joey is a Bear. He lived in the wild and killed (ate) many innocent people, until one day, he met a monk who he was going to kill. The Monk then preached to him, but suddenly some large rocks begin to fall from the hills above, and the Monk pushed Joey away, and was hit by a rock and died. As a result, Joey decided to find a Monk to be his master. So, Joey began to journey across the land finding monks. He wanted to find a 'good' monk like the one who saved him, so he decided to scare all the Monks that he meets to see if they are frightened or not. If they are not, they must be a brave/powerful/good monk... Because of this, Joey scared a lot of Monks to death over the years. Then one day, he had the chance to scare Felix Lok (a greedy/deceitful Monk)... When Joey scared Felix, Felix didn't run away, but not because he wasn't scared, but he was too scared to move... and because of this Joey thought Felix was the 'One' and asked to be his disciple. Felix thought this would be a good chance to promote his temple. Felix then made Joey appear in Villages to scare people, and Felix would come to 'tame' him, which made everyone think how good and powerful Felix was. Felix convinced Joey that by doing this, Joey was making the world a better place, which made Joey happy...
Later on, Benny Chan, Kong Wah, Wayne Lai and Evergreen Mak came to their temple, and Felix Lok was jealous of Kong Wah's 'Monk' robe (not the one that he usually wears, but a valuable one that is usually hid in the trunk that Evergreen carries. The Robe was given to Kong Wah by the Female Buddha - Sorry I know that's not the right term)... Felix then convinced Joey that the Robe is his, so Joey decided to compete with Benny, Wayne and Evergreen to 'Win' back the gown...
After all the fighting and etc... The 'Female Buddha' preached to Joey and told him that everything he did was wrong, though his intentions were correct. As a result she took him away to teach him... Felix Lok was also punished.
-This was basically everything in this part of the series. But Joey did appear again later on, opening a temple with Rain Lau, Law Lan, Marianne Chan, the Lion Beast, and the Elephant Beast.
Nikki: I think your explanation sounds a bit more like Derek too.
AM: Thanks for your explanation!
YingYing: I don't really have a definition for a monk. I do think monks are bald, but there are some that aren't. What everyone has mentioned so far are fine. Are you worried about me taking off points? Don't worry! As long as it's acceptable, I won't take off any or many points.

Round 2 Name 2 actors/actresses (including the series and relationship) who has acted as Charmaine Sheh's family member (also includes cousins, in-laws; will also count adoptive parents). (30+ pts)
ANSWER USING FORMAT IN EXAMPLE
Rules: 1. Name TWO actors/actress (10 pts each) and also name the series (5 pts each) and the relationship between that person and Charmaine. Try to name all series. If an actor/actress has been a family member of Charmaine in more than one series, list them separately (as if they're a different actor/actress), but this will only count as one actor/actress; you must still name another actor/actress.
EXAMPLE: Paul Chun in Golden Faith (father) Paul Chun in Family Man (father)
Raymond Lam in Golden Faith (brother)
(NOTE: The example was not for Charmaine.)
2. You may name the actor/actress (even if that person has been named) if there is a series (in which they played as Charmaine's family member) that hasn't been named. 3. After all players have gone once, you can post more (only TWO max per post) for bonus points (20+ pts/40+ pts). 3. You will lose 10-20 points if you give an incorrect answer or fail to answer. 4. For the bonus rounds, you cannot post back-to-back, but you can post after 2 hours after your own post (two-hour rule instead of one-hour).
