SANTAGORIES!

Saturday December 17
by Doggah

Santagories! was the holiday version of our popular word game Feddergories! with a twist of Christmas. Santagories! was broadcast live from the Urban Spaceman Bar on Venus, and six players attended the event: Catspaws, Fancy, Jessecka, Robius, Ronin, and Sycorax. We used the holiday rules that we used for November's Turkeygories!, awarding special ornaments to especially clever or creative answers, to be used later in the bonus category.

Our first category was Kinds of Candy starting with W. Fancy received the first ornament of the night with the following answer: "Wrapped-in-gold-colored-foil chocolate coins."

Our second category was Stocking Stuffers starting with L. Sycorax received an ornament here for "Legions of tiny G.I. Joes."

Round three category was Someone You'd Like to Catch Under the Mistletoe, starting with M. There were some creative answers all around, but Robius got the ornament here for "My 11th grade English teacher."

Your comm unit relays a message from Robius, "woohoo!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Sycorax, "cough* awesome *cough"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jessecka, "yes, and he can kiss that ornanment tonight too ;)"
> xt Not THAT ornament Jess
Your comm unit crackles with a message from Ronin, "haha"
Your comm unit relays a message from Robius, "and just where will I hang it?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jessecka, "DOGGAH!!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "Not big enough to hang...."
> xt Hmm... moving on? :)
Your comm unit relays a message from Jessecka, "bad kitty, LOL"

Round four was our first Fed-related category, People/Places/Things: Venus, starting with C. Catspaws scored two points with "Catspaws," Fancy with "Cream-filled donut," Jessecka with "Crappy donuts," and Ronin with "Curator."

Fifth round was Alcoholic Beverages, and then we checked the scores. Catspaws, Ronin, Fancy, and Jessecka were all tied for the lead, and so far Sycorax, Fancy, and Robius all had an ornament.

Round six was Holiday Dinner Menu Items starting with F. Jessecka got an ornament here for "Funny little Jello stuff with fruit in it."

Round seven was another Fed-related category, Fed II Players starting with H. Robius was the only one to score here with "Hflashman." Four players matched on "Hitman."

Round eight was Things to Do in the Snow, starting with D. Sycorax scored an ornament here with "Dunk snowballs in water before throwing them."

Round nine was the last Fed-related category, Fed II Companies starting with K. Ronin scored with "Kernel Pleasures" and Robius scored with "Knitted Socks Inc." Two players matched on "Knossos Enterprises."

The last category was Toys, and then we checked on the scores again. Robius had the lead, with Ronin right behind him. Sycorax had 2 ornaments, and Fancy, Jessecka, and Robius each had one.

The bonus category was Christmas Carols. Due to the length of the answers 60 seconds were allowed for this category instead of the usual 45. Each ornament players earned during the game would allow them "match protection" for one answer - one matched answer would still score them a point. Here are the unique answers given by each player; answers with an asterisk are matched answers that scored with ornaments.

Jessecka - 3 (white trash christmas, grandma got run over by a reindeer*, 12 redneck days of christmas)
Catspaws - 5 (rocking round the christmas tree, santa claus is coming to town, jingle bell rock, walking round in women's underwear, santa claus is watching you)
Robius - 3 (deck the halls*, ava maria, walking in a winter wonderland)
Fancy - 6 (joy to the world*, good king wenceslaus, away in a manger, we three kings, angels we have heard on high, little drummer boy)
Ronin - 4 (earth and heaven, merry christmas, here comes santa claus, rudolph the red nosed reindeer)
Sycorax - 2 (jingle bells*, grandma got run over by a reindeer*)

And here were the final scores.

Sycorax - 9
Jessecka - 11
Catspaws - 13 (tied for third)
Fancy - 13 (tied for third)
Robius - 14 (tied for first)
Ronin - 14 (tied for first)

Robius and Ronin tied for first place and are co-winners of Santagories! In addition, Ronin is the winner of a valuable slithy tove! Feddergories! is played every other Saturday night at 10.00 pm eastern (alternating with Magellan Cup). Join me for the return of Feddergories! on January 14 2006.
