The Name Game - February, 2023

The Name Game.gif

Your Challenge, should you accept it!

|

You may have seen that in The Name Game post last month, I introduced a little light hearted fun in the form of a two-part trivia quiz where in part #1 of that quiz, Local Guides were invited to guess the names of the Local Guides displayed in my signature gif. Last month’s gif is shown here on the right.

You will see here that a number of Local Guides got the right answer, YAY!! However, sadly, no one got the right answer to part #2 of the trivia quiz! Okay so dropping it back a notch, in this month’s Name Game we’ll keep it simple. You can see that in my signature shown below, I have now changed the photos of the people that are shown in the gif. Yes, once again they are all Local Guides just like you and me here on Connect and your challenge is to name these Local Guides (Connect usernames without the @), from left to right, in a list numbered 1 to 8.

Now realizing that the gif is animated and so the faces are whizzing past at an amazing speed, and not wanting anyone to be disadvantaged, the photos have also been added on the cover gif of this post, and yes there are 60 photos in the cover gif but only of 8 in the signature gif so there are a number of duplicates in the cover image and sometimes the duplicates are facing right and at other times they are facing left…and some are not so right and not so left…but I just wanted to throw in a few curve balls in there and make this a little more interesting. Plus we don’t want this to be too easy do we :joy: :rofl:

The Rules & Conditions of Entry

Well it’s all very simple really but we do need some rules so we don’t have a bust up at the end :wink: OK so this is what you have to do:

  1. Hit this link and send your entry in the form of a list numbered 1 to 8 with your guess for the name (Connect usernames without the @) of each person shown in my signature gif.
  2. 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.
  3. If you get all 8 names correct and in the right order you will earn a bonus of 2 points :slightly_smiling_face:
  4. Once your entry is received and checked, your points will be added to the table shown below.
  5. 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.
  6. Entry is open to all Local Guides but only one entry per Local Guide is allowed!
  7. 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:
  8. Entries close midnight February 28 (AESDT)
  9. These rules can change at any time :wink: !
  10. The judge’s (moi’s) decision is final.

A nice game to challenge one of other-awareness and to practice inter-relational skills. Thanks for the challenge @AdamGT

After the comment made by @Mikeinthefalls and now your comment, I will definitely do some thinking to make it not so difficult but still interesting and still with a bit of a challenge.

@AdamGT I didn’t say that to make you feel bad or like you have to go easy next time. There were just a LOT of new names/faces I hadn’t ever seen before.

Phew @AdamGT , I have to agree with @Mikeinthefalls AND @MelTG :slightly_smiling_face: Not complaining, but I was not as familiar with the faces and had to do some leg work :slightly_smiling_face: Of course, I don’t expect them all to be easy lol Otherwise it would be boring!

Oh I didn’t take your comment badly @MelTG , but yes you and @EvaBar are right, in this round there are faces that we haven’t seen so regularly here on Connect before but that just makes this a bit more fun and interesting, while adding a little challenge :wink: I love getting to know more about the Local Guides, including those silent achievers, that we exchange with month after month.
