Seems correct
1. I’ve been trained many times for just this situation ...
2. ... and I’m following the standard operating procedure to the letter ...
children are taught from an early age not to talk to strangers and run away from danger
3. ... Which is more than can be said for Bond in this instance
pulling a gun on an innocent child isn't usual policy
4. I have my hands full on this occasion, literally
holding balloons and his mother's hand
5. This is turning into the opposite of what it is supposed to be
less a fun fair, more of a fright fair
6. I’m caught in an act of affection with a member of the opposite sex
holding hands with mother
7. Bond, myself and Bond’s companion are all seen doing the same thing within seconds of each other
Bond, boy, Kara all running
8. Bond and I share the same feeling on first meeting, but for different reasons
shock - the boy thinks he’s about to be shot, Bond because he wasn't expecting a child
9. If you’re on the right track, you’ll find me close to Agatha
the John Barry track for this scene is Murder at the Fair, reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s well known story, Murder at the Vicarage
10. Both Bond and I do the opposite of something we have just done seconds before
the boy runs back the way he has just come, and Bond holsters the gun he has just drawn
11. It seems Bond has a problem with heights
the hedge prevents him seeing who is holding the balloons
12. I’ve seen Bond doing something he’s never done in any other Bond film ...
13. ... and it’s something I’m sure Bond would never want to do again
aiming a gun at a child
14. Bonus picture clue
the flag is made up of the four colours of balloon that the boy holds
15. I’m determined not to let go no matter what
keeps hold of balloons even when running away
16. Those around me seem to have no situational awareness whatsoever
the people walking past don't pay any attention to what is going on
17. I’ve got three more of these than Bond had and mine are still working!
18. ...although his had an extra feature that mine are lacking
the boy holds four balloons, Bond had one but burst it, and that one had the message 'Spiert Spionem' written on it
19. I’m wearing something that connects me to the villain of the scene, but it’s not Bond’s style
(the boy wears a denim jacket, Necros wears denim jeans)
20. I don’t give Bond the chance to introduce himself ... or apologise ... or say anything at all for that matter
runs away before Bond can say anything
21. You only see me at night self explanatory
22. And always in the company of another self explanatory
Congrats and over to you! :)
Interestingly enough, every time I thought I was on to something clue #6 stopped me in my tracks. I just couldn't make it all fit. Finally, when you provided the last set of clues, I started going through all the night scenes I could think of and wouldn't you know it, I saw those balloons and connected all the dots.
Okay, I'll get the next round going as soon as I can.
There are more great scenes for me.
Fascinating how you could find so many interesting (and still very trick!) clues for such a short appearance @Max_The_Parrot
Well done @pachazo. This means that the next round will be a tricky one, too.
Yes the Pushkin scene. I definitely prefer the cargo net action compared to the finale against Whitaker.
I always thought that you and Tokoloshe2 dominate this thread. But then suddenly a bird landed...
One possibility could be adding a ‘waiting list’ to the ‘characters played list’ that @Birdleson posts. If you want to be on the waiting list you just post a message asking to be added (some people might like to permanently on the list until further notice). Every time a round is won, the player at the top of the waiting list is next and we can see where we are in the list when the ‘characters played list’ appears every other round (of course someone else could maintain the list, it wouldn’t have to be @Birdleson - I just used him as the example).
No worries if people don’t think it’s a good idea, just thought I’d throw it out while we wait for the new round - this is my favourite thread and I enjoy both setting and guessing clues so it just got me thinking!
Keep it as is.
I'm definately not a top tier player here, but I've managed to secure awin at least twice, which gave me an increadable kick (and panic, to come up with a riddle myself! ;-) )
It wouldn't be as rewarding ( to know I managed to outsmart the top players :-D ) if the system was altered.
On to the next round!
If someone has several wins in a short time, there is still the possibilty to give someone else the chance to step in for once. Tokoloshe2 did this a few month ago.
Curriculum Vitae: when there is a job you are interested in, then you have to write where you worked before your special talents...like the master of guess the character sounds good on everey paper ;)
How do you call a CV in the US?
Once again I’m sorry if my comment came across as a criticism, it really was just meant as a friendly thought, if it came across as any other way that’s my fault.
I was the beneficiary of one of @Tokoloshe2’s ‘passing the shoe’ occasions, and you were all kind enough to accept my request and give me the first opportunity to set clues. It was an appreciated gesture that allowed me the chance to feel like a ‘part of the team’ rather than a newbie gatecrashing the party - and I hope I’ve repaid that favour by taking it seriously and trying to set challenging puzzles.
Thanks and hope you’ll still have me around! :)
Yes, resume seems to be the american description for a CV.
You certainly don't need to apologize @Max_The_Parrot . I definitely see it as a friendly and good thought and your points are legitimate.
Do it, this is definitely impressive and proves your quality!
And you can add us as your references, we’ll give you a glowing report! :)
As for my two cents, I'd also prefer to keep things the way they are. I actually remember trying to pass my turn off one time because i was busy and there were no takers, so it's not always guaranteed that someone new is chomping at the bit.
This thread has always and will always appeal to only a small portion of forum members for a variety of reasons and that's okay. For those of us who have been playing for years now, we have seen many faces come and go. There are the regulars, the semi-regulars and those who play for a short while and never return. I really wish some members would come back and then there's a very select few who... well, the less said about them the better!
Anyway, all are welcome here. I'm glad a new suggestion was brought up for discussion. The game might be intimidating for new players, but I'm not sure what else can be done about it. They just have to jump in and see if they can swim in the deep end.
Alright, let's get back to it!
Can you guess this Eon Character?
1) I'm not Naomi, but is it time to say goodbye?
2) Bond will leave me to tidy up.
3) Goldfinger had a song about this situation.
4) I came close to touching something I shouldn't be touching.
In fact, I just might have.
5) We are in the same place and also different places at the same time.
6) Even though my goal wasn't accomplished, there was a consolation prize.
7) I'm definitely not curious about what's in the basket.
8) Backing up before I leave is a must.
9) Take a good look at my hands.
10) Someone else decided to give it a go after me.
11) It's safe to say that I didn't go out the same way I came in.
12) Two out of the three of us who began the scene together will be dead by the end (of the scene).
13) Absolutely perfect timing from Bond.
14) Spinning.
15) I wasn't able to appreciate the fruits of my labor.
