The Name Game - April, 2023

The Name Game.gif

Following on from last month’s Name Game, shown in both the cover gif and my signature below, are thumbnail photos of Local Guides here on Connect. Your challenge, should you accept it, is to name these Local Guides (from left to right).

The Rules & Conditions of Entry

So we don’t have a bust up at the end, here are the rules of the game!

  1. Hit this link,
  2. Add “The Name Game - April, 2023” as the Message Subject
  3. Add your answers in the form of a list numbered 1 to 8 with your guess for the name (Connect usernames without the @) of each Local Guide shown in both the cover gif above and my signature gif below. Name the 8 Local Guides from left to right as they appear in both the cover gif and my signature gif.
  4. Select the Send Message button.
  5. Each name you get right earns you 1 point but you must get the order right so for example if you say that the 2nd person in the gif is me but in actual fact I’m the 6th person then you don’t get the point.
  6. If you get all 8 names correct and in the right order you will earn a bonus of 2 points :slightly_smiling_face:
  7. Once your entry is received and checked, your points will be added to the table shown below.
  8. Points are carried forward through to the end of the year and the Local Guide(s) with the highest points at the end of the year will be declared the winner(s) and get the final kudos :wink: Local Guide points to date are also shown in the table below.
  9. Entry is open to all Local Guides but only one entry per Local Guide is allowed!
  10. Entries of anyone caught cheating, like copying someone else’s answers or colluding will not be counted and would lead to your instant disqualification from the round :joy: :rofl: :sweat_smile: :sunglasses:
  11. Entries close at the end of April.
  12. These rules can change at any time :wink: !
  13. The judge’s (moi’s) decision is final.

Notes:

  1. If you want to be one of the “face” participants in The Name Game, you must be a participant on the Top 100 Leaderboards (hint, hint). To learn more on how to register, see this How-to post by @AZ_2021 .
  2. Before you submit your entry, I suggest you wait until Connect updates the GIF in my signature :wink:
  3. I hope to introduce a different twist to The Name Game later in the year :heart_eyes:

@AdamGT From left to right or right to left?

Excellent question @SanjayBDLG . Let’s do it left to right. I will update the post so that this is clear.

@Trail_blazer was first to submit his entry for April’s Name Game and immediately moved to #1 spot being the top of the 30 total points group.

Later that day @Mo_TravelleerX submitted his entry and moved to the top of the 20 total points group.

Just now on 13 April @MelTG submitted her entry and moved to position #2 the second position of the 30 Total Points group.

It’s still a very tight race :slightly_smiling_face:

My votes are in. I’m not taking any chances this month trying to calculate the time differences. I know OZ isn’t 3 days ahead of the US :joy:

With only a day or so to go @JustJake moves to the top once again as he did in February although @EvaBar could be a likely challenger with @Stephanie_OWL a potential member of the leading pack

During the next round we’ll introduce clues to help in the name search :wink:

Well at the end of April we see that @JustJake and @EvaBar retain the lead but others are still not far behind and once again there’s not much between the players in terms of total points to date which means it will be interesting yet again through May. All it takes is for one slip and the whole order of things could dramatically change.

For completeness, here is the April gif with the featured Local Guides tagged so that you can verify the answer:

  3. @kasunaaa
  4. @Teana_K
  5. @Goodytom
  6. @Bere_Marichi
  7. @MattGatlin
  8. @SoniaK

Now I did say that in the next round we will introduce some clues, so stay tuned :wink:
