Let the games BEGIN!​

(If any moderators feel this needs to be moved to another forum, please feel free. I just didn't know what this counts as, and erred on the side of allowing the most people to play...)

Very good! And the spoiler tags are a good idea for people who want to try to beat them without help!

You have won two prizes from the list. Your picks?

 

[FoolishFrost]

Tinner: You answered 4 correctly and first. 1, 2, 5, and 10

Sadly, the theme was grabbed up first.

 

[Mark Hope]

Oooh, I got one!
[sblock]#6 Chi Heap Try Hick = Cheap Trick[/sblock]

 

[FoolishFrost]

Oooh, I got one!

Aye! Want to try for another?

 

[Pielorinho]

Aw man, that's funny. For #6, I was really trying to find the band Solomon Try-hick, but I just couldn't make it work.

As for my prizes, I'm kinda thinking as a mod I shouldn't participate in that aspect of it; would it be okay if I donated my prizes to the next person down?

Moderator or not, you didn't have access to the answers. You figured them out fair and square.

Mind you, if I don't have any items you want for now, then you can choose who gets the prizes, but they're yours until you pick a replacement.

 

[Mark Hope]

Aye! Want to try for another?

Sure. But I think this one might be wrong.... Here it is anyhow:

[sblock]#4 Our Shanty Day Less = Ashanti Douglas[/sblock]

No? Hmmm....
