A Christmas ITFC/TWTD game idea... 13:37 - Dec 15 with 8331 viewsNthQldITFC

Alphabet tag - Player's first names in sequence going through the alphabet.

Initiator names a Town player from any era whose first name starts with the letter A.

Whatever letter that player's surname ends with (say 'r' in the example below), a TWTD poster whose username starts OR ENDS with 'R' has to give the next player name (i.e. first name beginning with 'B')

Player's names can't be repeated in the thread, and see how long it goes on for?

So, if I say...

Allan Hunter

...we're waiting for a user whose name starts with an 'R' to give us a player whose first name starts with a 'B'.

Any good?

Edit - rule changes:
Poster's username can now start OR END with the last letter of the previous player.
To allow for awkward starting letters for players' first names, the following letters can occur anywhere within the player's name: Q, X, Z (other's could be added if necessary)

----------

Player chain so far:
Allan Hunter > Brian Talbot > Carlos Edwards > Darren Ambrose > Emyr Hughes > Frank Yallop > Gavin Johnson > Hermann Hreidarsson > Ian Westlake > Jermaine Wright > Kevin Wilson


Users (only one go per loop):
NthQldITFC > ringwoodblue > Tangledupin_Blue > SlippinJimmyJuan > eireblue > PhilsAngels > Nthsuffolkblue > EuanTown > flatlettuce > You_Bloo_Right


Next poster: Username starts or ends with 'N'
Next player: First name starts with 'L'

I think certain posters have quite a good point, maybe a slight refinement to the rules would help.

So rather than

we're waiting for a user whose name starts with an 'R' to give us a player whose first name starts with a 'B'.

How about

we're waiting for a user whose name starts or ends with an 'R' to give us a player whose first name starts with a 'B'.

This would help Urbanblue, and ummm, yea a few others possibly.

Now obviously, certain posters with the same letter at the start and end would have to have, some form of points added at the start, to compensate, you know, less chances to play obvs, but I am sure NthQldITFC will come up with the details on how that could work.

So now we are looking for a person with a username that starts or ends in a T to name an Ipswich player with a first name beginning with a C (I think)

Blimey, I thought (hoped?) this was dead!

OK, I'm good with eireblue's proposed modification.

So yes, following your post we're looking for a poster with a username that starts or ends in a T to name an Ipswich player with a first name beginning with a C.

Not sure there's many Town players who's names end in I, so that rules me and a few others out.

Unless I wait for a F to turn up. Someone throw me Ian Juryeff....


Fashionably late to the party as usual.

You throw me an Ian Juryeff and I'll lob a Freddie Vesselli back to you.

I am fairly sure you have misunderstood.

Although, to totally confuse everyone, you could start another thread where each player starts with the last letter of the username and the next username should start with the last letter of the player.

In fact, if I were to start that I might go with Ed Sheeran from our current squad! After that I can't think of another "self-pass" so would probably go Eric Gates.

So if I posted Eric Gates, now, that would be okay, just wondering if I should hold back for the proper round and go with Emyr Huws just for the practise one.

Hard to decide which one would be best here.

Okay I’ll go

Emyr Huws.
