    Default Kvothe's Movie Star Competition: Cryptic Edition


    Kvothe's Movie Star Competition: Cryptic Edition



    The Competition section has been looking a bit bare recently so this will be the first of a few that I'm hoping to run over the coming weeks and months.

    The Idea:

    This is a cryptic clue competition. The basic idea is that I give you a clue and from that you guess the movie star (if you can).

    How it works:

    Over the next few days I will add the clues. Each clue is for a different movie star. If you think that you know who the clue refers to then you PM me your answer. The first 10 people to give a correct answer for that clue will each receive 1 point. Once ten correct answers for a given clue have been received that clue will be marked as CLOSED. Up until a clue has been marked as closed PMs will be accepted for it even if further clues have been posted.

    The clues refer solely to the actor/actress not to characters they may have portrayed in films. All of the clues are puns and wordplay based on the person's name.

    Clues will be posted at various times of day in order to not give people in any given timezone a particular advantage.
    New clues can always be found in this post

    The competition will end 24 hours after the final clue has been posted regardless of whether enough correct answers have been given for that, or previous, clues.

    Over the course of the ten days the person who accumulates the most points will be declared the winner.

    Rules:

    Do not post your answers in the thread
    Do not seek additional clues, and do not offer additional clues, help, or answers to other people
    Only two guesses allowed per clue
    Competition is open to all members 10% and upwards
    In the event of a tie a tiebreaker question will be set.

    Prizes:

    The winner can choose from one of the following:

    - AwesomeHD 80k bonus
    - HD-Torrents Invite
    - HDVNBits 50GB upload + Custom title
    - ComicBT 10k bonus
    - HDMKV Invite + 50GB upload + Custom title
    - ScanBits 2k bonus
    - PTM invite + Custom title
    - SceneHD heart

    Invitation prizes still require you to produce two speedtests for me. You're not eligible for an invite if you have previously been a member of that tracker regardless of why you lost your account. If possible I will add more prizes as the competition progresses.

    Competition update...

    As you can see a second clue/person was added a few hours ago. The first clue is still open for guesses and at the moment, despite some valiant attempts, no-one has guessed correctly. So fire up the pun-tastic part of your brain and get thinking...

    More clues added, so keep those guesses coming in... you never know what you might win.

    (well actually you do because the prizes are listed in the first post)

    24 hours left...

    Final clue has been posted, so whether you've had a go up until now or not, it's definitely time to pull your finger out and start guessing. All of the clues are still open so try to get as many as you can

    Good luck :)

    Well Kvothe it is quite criptic.
    I could only manage to get 1 :-(..... So you work in the NSA cryptographic department ?

    I'm curious as to why no-one has responded via posting your say that they have entered.

    Well that's it folks, 24 hours have passed since the final clue was posted and I can now reveal that the winner is...


    Confused


    (which is particularly fitting given the nature of the competition)

    Confused managed to solve a very impressive 7 of the 10 clues and came fairly close on a couple of the others. I'll be getting in touch with Confused shortly to arrange the handover of his prize.

    Which leaves only one further thing to be revealed... the answers

    Triumph by backing a jockey
    Winona Ryder

    Blossoming flowers of Florida
    Orlando Bloom

    Steve seems like an odd name for a Scottish monarch
    Steve McQueen


    Person 4:
    Caviar of Arabia?
    Laurence Fishbourne


    Person 5:
    Writer of the psalms of complaint
    David Morissey


    Person 6:
    Small soft plants grown on dead meat
    Carrie-Anne Moss


    Person 7:
    A Robin who bears a heavy cake
    Christopher Eccleston


    Person 8:
    An apostle who spoils the home of a lion
    James Marsden


    Person 9:
    "Why?" says murphy, "what did Ian do to deserve that?"
    Cillian Murphy


    Person 10:
    Descendant of a Toronto Blue who's brother(?) doesn't want to fall in love with you
    Jason Isaacs

    Wow, that's great! This was a great competition and I'm glad I took part.

    There was no way I was going to get the other two, but I swear I had actually typed Jason Iaacs as a possibility. I had looked up some notable celebrities with the name Jason, and I was contemplating PMing you his name (Bateman was another one). However, I chose not to, cuz I'm still confused about the 2nd part of the clue. Ishmael is his brother, but how does this connect to not loving [me]? Excuse my horrible lack of biblical literacy (and I fear that once you tell me how it makes sense I'm gonna slap myself for being so stupid).

    That one was non-biblical and the second half of the clue was a reference to the Chris Isaak song Wicked Game which features the line "No I don't want to fall in love with you"

    Yeah, I'm not really surprised that no-one got that one
