    Nearly time.

    Were your answers sharp and precise like methods of killing in The Running Man?

    Or perhaps the questions made you feel like walking The Green Mile at times :D

    I definitely haven't a clue what I submitted, since it was nine months ago.

    It must be the longest open game here.

    By a long shot I'd say Ted. I never expected it would finish after not much interest in the beginning unfortunately.

    Ok let's get started with


    Category 1: The Dark Tower

    I'm in serious contention for the wooden spoon here.

    Hon the spoon!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,759 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Question 1: Name a gunslinger that features in the volume Wizard and Glass.

    There were a number of correct answers in this category possible if we were scoring this via Peehs as it was initially devised....

    Roland of Gilead
    Jake Chambers
    Eddie Dean
    Susannah
    Cuthbert Algood
    Alain Johns


    But actually we only had two answers here...


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,759 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And its a big sheep for the main character Roland, probably to be expected.

    Hello 2D gives Roland's lover as an answer which is technically not correct... but no wrong answers in Sheep!

    Choc Chip and Covid Choccy are on the same page here... for now.

    Question 1: Name a gunslinger that features in the volume Wizard and Glass.

    Question 2: Name a member of Roland's ka-tet.


    Again it's very similar answers for this, Roland theoretically had two ka-tet's which I would have accepted, one as a youngster with Cuth and Alain, and of course the main stories one. Again though I'm talking Peehs, let's get Sheepin here!

    Just to note: I will give the scores after each Category is completed :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,759 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And indeed the youngest member sheeps here by two points, Again Choccy in sync with her past self. Interesting to see if that keeps going.

    Ecto trying to rhyme her way into my good books but it's only worth an ace I'm afraid!

    Question 2: Name a member of Roland's ka-tet.

    Question 3: Name another Stephen King novel referenced in any of the volumes.

    How long is a piece of string? The better question would probably be how many works of King do NOT get referenced by The Dark Tower...

    As you can see by this, they all lead back.

    The Stand sheeps and rightly so, the two are linked in a number of ways.

    Choccy and past Choccy have a difference of opinion for the first time however.
