I think no one should use Google or anything else to look up lyrics, period. But Xen has proven time and again that he is incapable of that. So in that respect I doubt a new thread would be much fun. Grojlach has a good point too, although I am not as forbiddingly elitist when it comes to types of music. ;) Nevertheless it is true that there may not be enough people of every musical taste participating to make it possible for all quotes to be guessed within reasonable time. And I don't think it would be fun to have seperate threads or strands within a thread for guessing metal/rap/indie/pop/etc quotes.

Still, if there is a new thread I would participate, but it would probably boil down to the same small group of people answering, and the threads going slow. That doesn't have to be a problem if all participants bookmarked it and exercised some patience with regard to posting of new quotes... and we could also make a rule that when a quote proves too difficult, the one who posted it should provide a new quote after say two days have elapsed. And we could all try to choose a bit more mainstream lyrics, although of course that is a bit of a subjective grey area as well.

You can google all you want, just don't post any answers you've found with them - especially not if you haven't even heard the song before (or anything the band has ever made, for that matter). </font>[/QUOTE]Exactly.

So what about a new thread with several (let's say four) quotes running at a time and after a certain time if a question isn't answered then whoever asked it should ask a new one?

Don't look at me, I listen to classic rock so I know pretty much anything old. However, it is the new stuff I suck at unless I've heard it on the radio or if it is System of a Down.


I also hate the googleage usage here. I mean, only if it has been unheard of, then use google. But most can be answered.

Bit of a risky statement there... ;)

That it is SecretMaster.

Well, Im in the same boat as the rest of 'em, I can only guess if I know the answer! I don't like to google, because that spoils the point in the game, it's not called, the fastest googler! And Xen, we all know you use google, I think someone should have your big mistake in their sig, that truly was a classic!

So, I would be in for a new game, but why not refine the game to a certain genre, or sub genre. That way it would work better, with more people taking part, and if others wanted to play with a different Genre, then they could start up their own thread. Personally I think that is the only way forward because, as has already been pointed out, different people have different tastes in music.

So what has been proposed? Multiple quotes, timeouts, and a general good attitude?

We need to post that CLEARLY at the top of the next one, when/if it is started...plus all the traditional, anti-googling stuff

Yeah I used google. But I said myself that I will not use google anymore just to post the answer but only to learn who the singer/group is.
I`m sorry but I don`t quite understand this one. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, I come over here to test my knowledge and all I get is a steenkin debate.

Well, if you guys really want to play these sorts of trivia games then come to the Miscellaneous Game forum and join the Game Trivia thread. We only have about 6 or 7 consistantly-participating players right now, we need more input guys! :D
