FCCUK Bingo

The rules:

Cards are available from me and will be PM’d to anyone interested/bored enough. If you don’t have a card, you can’t win.

Each card will be made up of 36 squares. Each square will have a number that relates to one of the numbered events below. Each card will be randomly generated so no two cards should be the same.

You can only score using threads/posts that post-date this post (2.10.06). You can score using posts/threads that pre-date when your joined in. The posts don’t have to be where I have suggested they may be found to count.

You can’t score where it is your own post or if it is your post that makes the thread qualify (eg. by containing one of the oil recommendations – unless there are at least three other recommendations within the thread)

Placing (or encouraging others to place) a post to deliberately get a "score" will not count and may result in your forum posting rights being withdrawn.

You may swap up to 8 of the numbers on your card for numbers that are not on your card. All 8 do not need to be swapped at the same time. You must post on here each time you swap a number and what numbers you are swapping.

There will prizes – I guess! Leave it with me.

The outright winner will be the first person to complete their card and post the word “CASA” on this thread with a link to the thread/post that gave them their last number.

When you have completed your first horizontal vertical or diagonal line you must post on here and say whatever the Italian for vertical horizontal or diagonal (as applicable) is with a link to the thread/post that gave you the number that completed your line.

There will also be three other winners – for the first person to post in relation to each of the three possible lines, vertical, horizontal and diagonal.

Current players:

a) GraemeC
b) Ed
c) carlt
d) Turbo_Verde
e) Petep
f) mitch
g) stan
h) wishy
i) skins
j) bockers
k) Phil B
