 Topic: I spy...Posted: 20 July 2007 at 7:12pm |

Right, the spy, says 3 facts and a picture about an INTERNATIONAL cricketer, past or present and the other players have to guess who it is.
5 points for a correct answer within 12-hours
4 points for a correct answer within 24-hours
2 points for correct answer on second guess
0 points for an incorrect guess
only 2 guesses are allowed

This game is way too easy. I thought you would have hidden part of the body in the picture or just give the clues and let them guess.
It's Aravinda De Silva though.

Monty, It's your turn.
That was only easy because was an example. No points. Only 1st person gets it correct and gets the points. I've changed the score system. |

I'm afraid I cannot see this game working - need some modifications -- not such a bad idea though.

From the looks of it there are too many clues.
Reminds me of the very popular game "Guess the duckhead" which is probably what Spin Wizard was reffering to. |

Yes, true. I suggest you use players who retired long ago (e.g. an old commentator - a person we know the name of, but not the face?) --> remove all clues, or leave just a few.
Something like that. Aravinda only retired a few yrs back and he is still active in the game (works for ICC) --> So I suggest putting an older player, or somebody who didn't play many games, or somebody who we know of, but now looks a bit different due to age and the like.
Just suggestions, I like the idea of the game.

Cricketluva has a point. Maybe make it so that only person posts the picture as well. To avoid confusion.

ok then, how about you can ask the spy for a pic after 12 hours, the spy then PM's you the pic so that you can guess. BUT instead of 4 points, you only get 2. Understand?

Come on fellas, just give about 3 clues for e.g, he played for India, had an average of blah blah blah and is a big idol in cricket. Something like that can work. Giving the whole picture of the person makes it too easy. You can either give half a head of the picture or just the body of the person and remove the head.
