My reason for not participating in most the games (with only one exception, the Baker’s Dozen) is that I can’t understand the rules for the others — they hurt my brain!paul-mccartney

Now today I find, you have changed your mind

I lost my creative mojo for the “Name the song that goes with picture” game.  Even if I could guess something, I can’t come up with a new one.

My favorite is Baker’s Dozen.  But my knowledge of lost songs is nonexistant.  For the previous holiday category, I was under the impression that only Beatle songs were eligible, not solo material by the way category name was phrased.  Next thing I know, the category is finished.  If I knew solo songs were ok, I would have added Ding Dong Ding Dong for New Year’s Day and Scared for Halloween.

I am just laying low until a new category starts.

I’ve completed the Baker’s Dozen round and started a new one, hopefully that helps.

I’m not really into the games and will randomly post whatever comes into my head at the time. I’m not as prolific as I once was life is busier plus I’m not much for talking. Apologies.

Hate to say it, but the traffic in forum games is terribly slow.

The picture guess game is dead in the water, first by me and now by Richard. so sorry.

And the Baker’s Dozen died with the “lost songs” shambles.

 

I wouldn’t think or say or hope that either of those games are “dead”, as far as my own personal participation is concerned, just because I don’t feel the need or desire to join every round. I added nothing to the picture-guess round with the “Friends” screenshot because I never watched that sitcom and so wouldn’t have anything to contribute. And I did kinda derail the “Baker’s dozen” undocumented-songs round with my repeated wrong answers, sorry; which is why I didn’t try to add any more answers to that particular group of thirteen. 

These games have been going for years! They become inactive for a week or a month, or several, but they usually get revived eventually. (You want an example of a dead thread that deserves some love? I submit “Turn It Up Or Down”)
