FEDERGORIES

Thursday September 21
by Angelfowl

Arrgh! This week's theme was Pirates, due to Talk like a Pirate day (which was on Friday). I had five join me for the piratical game of Federgories: Kalandra, Andrew, Fancy, Gandolf, and Nimat. Since the theme was pirates I decided to bend the rules and none of the categories this week had starting letters!

The first category was a simple one: "A Famous Pirate." The players' answers were rather funny. Kalandra, Fancy, and Andrew said "Blackbeard," Nimat said, "Bluebeard," and Gandolf said, "Redbeard" (they all like beards apparently).

Then we had "A Pirate Movie." They came up with: Kalandra, "princess bride ;)" Gandolf, "The Goonies," Nimat, "Captain Blood," Fancy, "The Pirate Movie," and Andrew, "pirates of the Caribbean 1."

Then I asked for "A crazy Fed player." And I like some of the people they came up with: Fancy said "Monodefuego," Kalandra said "Kalandra ;)," Gandolf said "crazywolf," Andrew said "Thug" and Nimat, "Ron."

Then was "Something a Pirate would steal." There seemed to be a theme for most of the players' answers: Kalandra said, "beautiful women," Fancy said, "rum," Andrew said, "a maiden," Gandolf said, "booty ;)" and Nimat, "A woman's heart."

Then we had "Something Pirates eat and/or drink." They came up with: Fancy said, "rum," Andrew said, "fish," Nimat said, "Yo ho ho and a bottle of RUM!," Kalandra said, "chicken legs" and Gandolf said, "leg of lamb."

The next Fed round was "A strange Fed Planet" and they came up with: Fancy said, "The Lattice," Andrew said, "recipe," Kalandra said, "terra," Nimat said, "Rainbow" and Gandolf, "Phlax."

Then we had "Name a Ship term" and "Name one of the 7 seas" and the last Fed round was "An insane Fed system."

Finally it was the Bonus Round, which was "Things Pirates say." The answers I recieved were:

Fancy said, "Avast matey!; Ahoy!; Ye landlubber!; Fire at will!; Which one is Will?; Land ho!; Hoist the mizzenmast; Batten down the hatches; Avast ye scurvy sea dog, Ye filthy bilge rat."
Kalandra said, "starboard, leeward, trim the sails, thats a fair maiden, burry my treasure, kill the scoundrels, feed me, more ale wench, beer for everyone, set sail!"
Andrew said, "argh be garr matey, land ho, wheres the rum, wheres the gold, avast, we want the red head, pilage, plunder."
Gandolf said, "prepare to be boarded, plunder and pillage, boys, ouch, load the cannon, fire, avast, ahow, arggh, where be me booty?, anyone have the map?"
Nimat said, "shiver me timbers ... aye, matey... avast! ... Aaargh ... land ho! .... yo, ho, ho."

Which made the finals scores be:

Gandolf in third with... 16 points!
Fancy in second with... 17 points!
And in first with a grand total of 20 points was... KALANDRA!

Congratulations to everyone and thank you all for playing. Join me next week for another Federgories!!
