1/4.

A small hint: In real life things may END in Houston, but WA is fiction ... :cool:

All the best!

Ok, another, probably simpler question; you need to answer both questions in order to receive the rep!

a) How long took it the zombies to swarm the whole USA?
b) And after what period of time did Commander Kimmet loose contact with the East Coast?

All the best!
Liam

Already answered.

That's correct, my dear Sir.
Sadly I have to share some rep elsewhere; I will give you your credit as soon as possible. :)

Not a problem at all good sir! I'm beginning to give some thought to your other very difficult question now!

Chicago
Detroit
Hawaii
Houston
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Miami
New York
New Jersey
Oregon
San Diego
Seattle
Washington

You know them rules: First serving the correct answer gains +1 rep ...

All the best!

New Jersey, Miami, Washington, Las Vegas

Two words:

Co-ol!

Another saved rep for you. So, I am in debt of +2 Rep for you.

For anyone wishing the solution for this one:

Quote:

---

#1-3 - news broadcasting
LA
San Diego

#2-3 - recorded News found by Lizzy
Detroit
New York
Houston
Chicago

Khalani speaks of Hawaii.
Hawaii

Kimmet mentions some of the above and adds these two regions explicitly.
Oregon
Seattle
He also mentioned the "Bay Area"; but as a none-US-guy I have no idea what exactly is meant with it - the seas around Chicago, the bays at San Francisco, the Gulf of Mexico? No idea, which is why I did not include it in this question.

So not mentioned are these four cities; yep, I made them up:

Las Vegas
Miami
New Jersey
Washington

All the best!

Ok. Another one - another two-questions task. Answer both correctly and you earn a rep:

a) Who was on guard duty and had to keep an eye on the trucks? (I want his name.)
b) And what exactly happened to him, when he met Scratch after his duty?

All the best!
Liam

a) Charlie
b) Scratch tortures him into confessing that he lost the truck. She cuts him to match her scar, after which he "confesses" that he fell asleep. She then breaks his nose. Latch then shoots him so he he doesn't turn when the z's come.

Very well done!
+1 for you.

All the best!

Here's one of my own...

Only answer ONE of these for a rep...so a chance for 2 people to earn one rep each please.

a) Who gets killed by a "guy in an orange jumpsuit" on May 11th?
Correct LiamKerrington with "chips and soda".

b) over what is he killed for?
Correct SammyD with "Jeff".

Actually I'll give you that one because of how quickly you answered I can only guess that it was by memory, so to remember soda, good job

Chips and soda

Now if someone else can tell me who that was.

edit: you ninjaed me when you edited your first response ... :) (And I know the name, but leave it to others to answer ...)

edit 2: I will take you as a good example - splitting questions for spreading rep. I think, that suits the purpose of this thread much better, right? ;)

All the best!
Liam

Just a word to any admins out there, this is confusing and chaotic. Is there anyway a new folder / category could be made for it? People could then post questions in individual threads and when they're answered the thread could be locked. Just a thought.

Two part question, rep for each part available...

1) Name the 3 types of helicopters that speaking characters pilot during the scenes in the show (either military designation or 'nicknames' acceptable).

2) Name at least 3 characters that we witness (i.e. hear) piloting a helicopter in the show.

Go!

=============================================

UPDATE: Red Shirt got this one already. Answer is here.

That would be: Pegs, Chief Muldoon and Kalani AND the HH3 Pelican (AKA Jolly Green Giant and Sea King), UH-60 BlackHawk and the Bell 412 Huey.


Only one other chopper was in the show, the CH-47 Chinook. That pilot may have had lines, but I don't think s/he was named.

When I post a question and someone answers correctly I edit the original with an UPDATE that says that the question was answered. I also include a link to the correct answer posted by the person answering it.Here I then post that the question has been answer and by whom. Here and Here

I started doing this so when someone new joins in and they sees a question, they'll be able to see if t was answered already before submitting a late answer.

Winner, winner chicken dinner!!!

Good job, Red Shirt. You nailed it. Rep coming your way! (1 now and the second after I spread some around...)

Ok, so the game is fun but it could be a bit more streamlined, I'll agree. Witch Doctor's solution may be an alternative but it seems a bit laborious to be going back and linking all this stuff. Pretty much any questions that are from more than, say, 3 pages back are going to be answered anyway.

What about just going back and deleting the question once someone answers it?

Yeah, two bets from me. But this is waht I could think of ...

All the best!

There's a lot of maybe's in there, you might be on the right track, but you need to be more specific.

I like just going to the original post and adding the given answer and who gets credit for it. Just a thought...perhaps all question posts can be in red and answer posts in normal white but has to include the original question (Reply with Quote) like I see mostly everyone already doing??

It still is a little clumsy. I'll give it a while then ask Nick about it.

Give me 6 call signs (avian related) and who they belong to?
Rep for all 6

These were exactly what I was looking for:
Broken wing - Michael
Penguin - Saul
Albatross - Kalani
Vulture - Kelly
Chicken Little - Pegs
Raven - Burt
Toucan - Angel


Good job RedShirt. +rep

This raises a pretty good question on forum etiquette and forum "house" rules... when jumping into a thread already in progress, how much of it should you read up on? My general rule of thumb, depending on info density, is <10 I'm going to read all of it. <20 heavy skimming and >20 sampling & light skimming, both I'll read all of the previous 3-5 pages.


Then again that depends on the importance of the subject... For the chapter 36 discussion, I read all (then) 36 pages of it before jumping in.

There are way more than 6, but you are probably looking for:

Broken wing - Michael
Penguin - Saul
Albatross - Kalani
Vulture - Kelly
Chicken Little - Pegs
Raven - Burt
Toucan - Angel

but then there is:

Nest - The Tower/Tower guard room
Hen - Bell 412 Huey
Rooster - HH3 Pelican
Blue Jay & Robin - Jakob and James (don't think which is which is specified)

I could go on and on with these but I'll limit myself to this last one for today:

Who did Kelly call an "ass" and for what reason?

Edit: because I thought adding this would be fun...

Who did Angel say was an "ass", and why?

If I can get an answer for each by someone different, 1 rep each, much appreciated.

What were Victors first words?

sorry, robzombie you posted while I was typing.

Question: What is Riley's call sign?


UPDATE: RobZombie correctly answered this question. See his answer here.

Question: (This is an earlier question that has been re-phrased) What is the likely reason that Burt has the call sign, Raven?

Try to guess without the hint.
Hint

SPOILER 

You are gonna need a little knowledge of American Literature for this one

Because Edgar Allen Poe who wrote The Raven had worked at a place called Burtons Gentlemans Magazine???
or is it because Burt always quotes...just like the Raven ..."quoth the Raven"

Oiseau...french for bird

Sorry if I'm hogging. I'll try to contribute equally.

An easy one:

"an angel gets his wings" -when?

and a harder one:

What recording devices (edit: that actually recorded, not monitored or anything else) have been used by WA characters, by whom, and under what circumstances (what was going on)?

+1 rep for each
