FCCUK Bingo - it starts now! - 02/10/2006 15:59
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others to place) a post to deliberately get a "score" will not count and may result in your forum posting rights being withdrawn.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
l) Emjay

I dont understand that one atall and sadly i have that one
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 14:48
TV - that is the sort of thread that is likely to crop up in the anything else section and be posted by coupecraig. You need a title that does not fully explain the topic, a reference somewhere to ginger hair (usually vickster supplies this) and craig saying "ha" or even "ha ha" or perhaps "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha". True story!
Hope that helps.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 14:49
Can i clarify the rule below
'You may elect at any time to swap up to eight of your numbers for ones that are not on your card. You must post on here when you swap a number and what you are swapping.'
So i can see a thread that is on the list, but not on my bingo card and make a swap at that time, and i can do this to a maximum of 8 times?
Or it it a one time only swap of anything between 1 and 8 numbers?

"So i can see a thread that is on the list, but not on my bingo card and make a swap at that time, and i can do this to a maximum of 8 times?"
That's the fella. You take one you think you are not going to get and swap it for one you have spotted. You can do this up to 8 times - all at once or separately.
I have now clarified the rules

Thanks MJ
Sorry if I'm being thick, but can't we just swap the numbers over to make a line when the relevant posts are posted? Or is there a date when the swaps have to be in by?
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - it starts now! - 03/10/2006 15:28
Skins - you can indeed do that, but if you use your swaps up early on to do that you increase your chances of not completing your card first. And it is the person who completes their whole card who gets the stupendously big prize - probably.
Add to that that when you post up that you are swapping, you are alerting your rivals to the fact that there is a post that matches that number somewhere - a number they may have without needing to use a swap.
What a dilemma!

I don't think that should be allowed either, especially as technically I haven't deleted it, therefore any mods can still see it and score from it
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:10
It was petep's post and it definitely counts - but not for petep as he posted it. If you spotted it before it was deleted, you can always keep it in reserve for a future swap.
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:14
Ed, I was in a bit of a dilemma there - I felt deleting it would be obtaining an unfair advantage, so I left it. It has now been deleted and the fact that mods can see it in the deleted section does not mean that they can still count it if they failed to spot it whilst it was "live".
Posted By: Ed
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:21
Hee hee, I deleted it because I assumed it would force you to discount it because it would give mods an unfair advantage.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:23

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:27
Ooh a bit of controversy and so early on. Okay, okay, I'll say it doesn't count. This is for two reasons
Firstly, it will annoy skins! Only joking!
Secondly, it's only a matter of time before we get a new all caps post! I can bide my time!!!
Just to be clear from this point on, though - deliberate posts do count.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 03/10/2006 19:52
Skins, you don't need to prove all of them - there has to be an element of trust. You only need to post links to the contribution that completes your first vertical horizontal and diagonal lines and completes your card - so this could mean posting up to links each at different times.

Can we swap ones we already have to complete a line?
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 18:06
Skins, if what you mean is can I swap one on the second row with one in my third row - no!
Any swap has to be swapping a number you have for a number you don't have and the swapped number must be put in exactly the same position

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 20:16
Mitch, I've got you (and me) down as being in the lead at the moment, followed by skins and Ed, then carlt and turbo verde, then stan, GraemeC, wishy and petep with bockers trailing in our wake.
And I've got all my swaps still so technically I think I am winning - unless you bu66ers have spotted ones I haven't

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 20:21
I've got six so far, is that right or am I cheating? It's probably not a good idea for me to reveal how many I've spotted, but there's a long way to go...
I haven't seen any not on my card.
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 20:27
6 !! Pants, I only had you down for 4 - and that's with having spotted another one in the last few minutes!
I'm going to have to up my game.
I'm on 5 and I've spotted 3 more not on my list. So that means there are at least 10 out there to be grabbed!

I am also keeping a note of the urls of all those I spot just in case.

Can we search for post numbers? That's the only thing I'm recording, I just stupidly assumed they'd be easily traceable.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 20:35
Don't think so.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 04/10/2006 20:40
That's weird, JimO's post vanished - but he was right.
If you check the url across the top it has a post number oin it. Replace that with the post number you want and that seems to do the job

Can I swap 43 for 54 please?

Is
this a Powerfiat thank you post? He is *obviously* posting to say thank you but doesn't actually mention those words. Naturally players without this one on their cards will object and those with will agree
Is this still going BTW?

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 09/10/2006 18:50
This game has come at a very bad time for me unfortunately. I'm still logged in most of the day but only really have time for the odd quick post let alone check my scorecard.
Would you believe I'm having to work for a living at the moment! It's not fair </me stamps feet up and down and storms off to room>.
Hopefully can restore normality in a couple of weeks.

It really is a shame that there's now less competition, unless, of course, you're bluffing
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 09/10/2006 19:19
Well I marked that one off as a definite thank you to Powerfiat (and I do wish you hadn't flagged it up
).
I have spotted 14 (of which I have 9) in total now out of 36. I have no doubt that there are more. I keep seeing ones that I think are okay, only to spot that the thread predates the game (when the thread is required rather than just a post)
Game on!

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 09/10/2006 20:24
I could flag up a few more if you like?
Can I please swap 31 for 56

Yeah, got that one as well.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 13/10/2006 17:03
It's good but it's not right (and that was my conclusion on originally spotting it).
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 13/10/2006 17:05
So, how is everyone doing?
If I did all my swaps, I'd need 14 more.
Posted By: Anonymous
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 13/10/2006 18:43
I've only really been looking for ones on my card
- 17 filled. I'll need to learn Italian soon I think.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 14/10/2006 18:47
As it seems it's only Emjay and myself playing this now and I'm pretty sure he's going to get them all first, I'm going to be a spoilsport and make the following swaps:
51 for 23
8 for 31
14 for 66
I believe this leaves me only 3 swaps left
I'd also like to say:
DIAGONALE! (thanks JimO
)
VERTICALE! (thanks garydivney) and
ORIZZONTALE! (thanks ali_hire).
I've only 13 left to fill now - 10 with swaps.

Let me have an address to send your prize(s) to.
By way of revenge, and to try and annoy you back.
Number 14 was there already

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 15:50
Don't be silly - I didn't do it for the prize(s), just to wind you up
Didn't spot that one, Doh!

I've just been to busy to check Was a great idea though and would have loved to have been more involved.

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 17:53
Perhaps skins would be so kind as to post up all the ones he has got so we can start on a level playing field again
Skins, I am baffled by your diagonal. I can see neither the 49 and 4 you would need nor the 15 and 20. I completed a vertical this morning without any swaps, so your timing was annoyingly impeccable!
Posted By: Ed
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 18:11
I was still playing, had 17 but didn't do any swaps, which probably didn't help much
Had a couple of lines where I only needed 2...

You can't have number 4 i'm afraid.
The rules state 'You can only score using threads/posts that post-date this post (2.10.06). '
My post about not attending due to rugby was made on the 2/10/06 before Emjay had finalised the list. I remember at the time it would be just to early to be used in the FCCUK Bingo games

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 18:56
31 was posted on the 7/9/06 also
I'll let Emjay adjudicate though lol

Bogey boy is right. I also can't give you 49 until we have confirmation it was a meta. Does your 24 have a recommendation not to use t-cut?
There is a valid 31 out there, by the way
Game on for the vertical and diagonal I say!

Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 19:55
Bogey Bastardo more like
For 4 I didn't look at the time
and as for 31: I used the search function and it pointed me to the end of the thread.
How about
this one for 31?

So you have the nerve to say my 31 is invalid, as it starts on the 07/09/06, and then you list it as one of yours!
Does my amended 31 count?
Posted By: Emjay
Re: FCCUK Bingo - 16/10/2006 20:38
Borlz! Wot an idiot! Sorry skins. I was sure I had seen a valid 31, but you're right. I don't think the other one counts either.
