Necro's Christmas Safari - Necro - 27-12-2023
Time to try and bring some Christmas spirit to the forum and maybe get some life back into the old girl ahead of the new year.
As part of this I decided to run a Christmas Trilogy! Kinda like Die Hard but with less people dying and much much more swearing.

In traditional Necro mind-bending fashion, we are playing...
ELEPHANT!!!

RE: Necro's Christmas Safari - Necro - 27-12-2023
PART 1: ELEPHANT
Elephant is a game where the start of the next word must begin with the end letter of the word before.
Like a line of elephants walking along holding each other, trunk to tail. The Elephants get upset if their tails are not being held.
e.g.
elephanT
TigeR
RhinO
OctopuS
Seal
Simple enough, but it can end up being a total train wreck. Once you step off the path, getting back on again can be a mindmelt.... not that there is any set path
What you had to do was connect the tails for these set of questions....
An country in Asia
A breed of cattle
An English Premier League team
A TV show
A Stranger Things character
A snooker ball colour
A 90s song
A capital city
A Stephen King novel
A Christmas song
RE: Necro's Christmas Safari - Necro - 27-12-2023
Question 1: A country in Asia
Many options here but what would be best elephant wise?

RE: Necro's Christmas Safari - Necro - 27-12-2023
Kangaroo is like sheep except your answers have to be factually wrong.

If I ask for a comedy movie starring Tom Hanks then you could answer:
Cast Away (not a comedy)
Old School (not starring Tom Hanks)
Bosom Buddies (Not a movie)
you could also answer anything random like "Banana" or even "Bruce Willis' Jumper"
but the aim of the game is the same as sheep where you want to match others. This means answers like the first 3 are probably better than a totally random answer.
Anything that is correct scores 0 for the question.
Highest score wins.
