We're Alive REP-ivia!!!

[Red Shirt]

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!

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.

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.

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?

Maybe he was involved as a driver of exceptional skill.
Considering his relation to the pipe-bombs and therefore assuming that he might have some skills in chemistry, I could also think of him being a expert-drug-producer.
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??

[Solanine]

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

[Robzombie]

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.
