I remember seeing this show as a young boy on the GameShow Channel.

Oh, I see how you got the name redface...

Right now Uber-Tanuki, I can see the answer going two ways depending on outlook.

Little clarification on how the game works.

You are given three hints.
The hints give you a basic idea of the answer.
The answer is always one word.
The answer is always a noun.
The hints are never specific.

This is meant to be a tricky game people. ;)

How many people have answered? I am just curious.

Everyone has answered aside from _Truth_/-Alex-.

You know, the Hints & Answers are supposed to be getting tougher as the rounds close in on the final.

Just thought I'd mention that.

Well, general english, if you paid attention in school. PH can be pronounced many ways, including pronounced as F.

Phoebe
Pharlyn
etc etc

So 'phthys' would be pronounced like 'fths'.

Well, can I ask you what username you thought I was talking about? Ofcourse I was speaking about that alias. =S

I have the sound files of Nephthys saying my name on iTunes.

what?

Well well well now.

I know ya'll will hate me, but it's only going to get worse from here on out. The Hints and & Answers will only get tougher to solve.

Final notice, elimination will now be the first wrong answer, and the last wrong answer. Keep this in mind, and don't rush your choices.

First Hint: I stink while alive...

Second Hint: I smell good when dead...

Third Hint: I am a sin for some people to eat...

Now, let me explain, before the answer is revealed. The last hint, literally points to a food as the answer, not an animal, and yes it's still vague. Rushing guesses without the full picture will be the downfall of the lot of you.

The answer is:

Bacon

Pig... lol... close guys. Soooooooooooooooo close.

The last two teams to answer are eliminated, minus _Truth_/-Alex-, who received immunity along with KungFuCow/ Nephthys / DrWurm.

Eliminated:

BananaBreadMuffin / Tommy
DaSadGirl / ExtraLife

Fifth Round Contestants:

Hierophant / Minion777
KungFuCow/ Nephthys / DrWurm
_Truth_/-Alex-
-Metaldart-/Anderson

Final notice, elimination will now be the first wrong answer, and the last wrong answer. Keep this in mind, and don't rush your choices. Take your time, think about your answers.

After the Fifth round, Teams are dissolved, and you all compete against each other.

Good luck to the remaining teams.

NOW WHAT?! =O

K, people have pronounced "Nephthys" in a number of ways, from "Neptheese" to "Nep-this" to "Neffthis".

Hehehe, silly Newgrounders. =)

Of course, it doesn't really matter how you pronounce it since we're all online anyway, but a bunch of people have still asked me how to pronounce it.

Nah, true, I'm still curious to know if some people actually like to think of my name as being pronounced like "Anderssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
ssssson". Hahaha. XD

Damn I got serious connection problems. =(

HOORAY!!!!! :D :D :D <3 We can do it Andersson. This time, I won't be so hasty.

And, that was a tricky one Tanuki. :) But how can bacon be alive/dead?

Organic matter.

Hopefully we'll get the right answer aswell. =P

Well, that makes it that pig should be the right answer anyways... sorta?

At 6/19/06 08:59 PM, Nephthys wrote: And the last clue points it to be a food OR an animal. The first clues certainly point it to being an animal, as the pig is the thing to be alive and dead, bacon is just... bacon.

Organic matter, once again.

Did anyone get it right?

Nope, would have posted that.

This is why I don't think outside the box. I'm afraid. I'm perfectly safe inside my box. :)

*checks back*

Ok, no knifes yet.

Fifth round to start at 10 pm EST (NG time, or one hour from now, give or take a few minutes)

I don't know about you guys, but dead pigs don't smell too good to me. It's not until it's bacon (or whatever other derivative food product) that it smells good. So I guess that would negate the blunder made by saying that bacon smells bad while alive, and the last clue would have been the deciding factor for bacon.

Shenanigans.

I always pronounced it as 'Nef-thes', BTW.

I'm also sorry I missed the initial signup for this thing, as well, since it's turned out to be pretty fun to follow along with and think about.

I know. It was kind of a weird answer. Like placebos, they have sugar, so you sometimes taste it. Or railroads, they don't move you, trains do. This is why I stay inside my thinking box. :)

At 6/19/06 09:11 PM, Captain-Jack wrote: Like pork, Evark? LIKE PORK?

Right, but you guys were questioning bacon vs. pig. Could be ham, canadian bacon, rinds, etc. There's a bunch of different pig-foods to consider. I guess this contest is supposed to be a little bit of knowledge and a little bit of luck all rolled together.

Haha, don't mind me. I just don't like losing. ;)

You so crazy.

PIGS SMELL REALLY FUCKING GROSS WHEN THEY'RE DEAD, GUYS.

Until they're fried. 8)

Exactly. Shenanigans.

All hints point in the right direction but can and are misleading. It would have been a four hour round if it was Pig.

Yeah, I've definitely decided I want to do a second game in the future, and probably with a little more unique prize this time, like signed Alien Hominid Post Cards from Tom, which are hard to come by in the first place. I have mine, but for the game, since this one was a success I will part with mine.

Like I told Evark, Misleading on purpose, but not completely wrong. Like Railroad, it does move you, since you move on it by proxy of train railcar, etcetera.

Sounds cool, I put mine down in the office and totally forgot where I had left them, so I had to just part with them when I left in order to get home at a reasonable time. :-( Maybe I can win yours off you. :-)

Plus, I know I'm not the only one moved by railroads emotionally.

Seriously, they're beautiful. :'-(
