Coldplay Game #2... Win a set of magnets!

[Novah]

So what did you guys do with your day off? I played around with Flash and made something for you...

An absolutely infuriating game I call...

The Great Coldplay Song, Album, and Video Identification Game!

Last time I gave the winners a couple of CD singles but I'm afraid I have no extras at the moment, so this time the prize is a set of magnets like the ones I showed here (http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2920482&postcount=349). I haven't made the magnets yet but I will this week and the winner's set will include a miniature Left Right Left Right Left. :)

I managed to put this together without breaking my hiatus, because I put iTunes on mute to get the video grabs. Run through the official Discography (http://www.coldplay.com/disco.php) before you start if you're not familiar with album covers. There are also video stills and a few lyrics to identify.

I've run through it twice so I'm pretty sure there are no bugs, but it's infuriatingly difficult. 50 questions, and TIMED. You're not allowed to miss one or you go back to the start. My first game I got a lot of complaints about it being too hard so this time it's EVEN HARDER.

Good luck!

Whoever posts the final answer in this thread first wins, and should send me a PM, too. :) I'll confirm the winner here!

--edit--

We have a winner! (already? :o)

Lore has won, Aleluvscp came in at a close second. Guess I shoulda made it 100 questions long. ;) Good job everyone who finishes!

How dyou know people won't do it more than once?


Love the magnets btw, awesome.

I tend to confuse the X&Y singles.. aren't there about a million of them? :confused:


:lol:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:clap: for everyone especially Lore and Aleluvscp

[Lore]

the x&y singles are easier for me because of the different colors...

but the arobtth singles, man.. that's hard!

[Prospekt.]

Crap... The LRLRL quesiton screwed me up. Lol, I'm an idiot.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2ngsi12.jpg

This should teach us all that we know too much about Coldplay.

Or not enough. muahaha. :\

[BerrymanGirl1]

:disappointed:defeated:(

[coldplayisawesome]

NOOOOOOOO!

oh well. congrats Lore! :)

[Aleluvscp]

:clap: for everyone especially Lore and Aleluvscp

Thank you :nice:


Second place should get a prize :sneaky:

[Novah]

can you someone send a magnet?:angel:

I'd love to say MAGNETS FOR EVERYONE but, well... I guess I could make them /smaller/... >.> I'll see how many I can fit onto a single sheet.

Supplies cost about $7 per sheet and I needed two to make the whole set... maybe I can figure something out. I'll let you know tomorrow how many runners up I can send magnets to. ;)

[BerrymanGirl1]

Lore the arobtth were seriously hard :lol:

[Prospekt.]

the x&y singles are easier for me because of the different colors...

but the arobtth singles, man.. that's hard!

I'm good with the AROBTTH singles now that I know they're or each member because I can just recognize their faces on the cover now for the most part.

And now you just have to now which member goes with each song.

Jonny is IMP because of his riff.

Chris is Clocks because of the piano.

and so on. :P

[Lore]

maybe you could create a tutorial or something :) the magnets look so pretty :bomb:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:hug:thanks Novah!so about $14?

[Aleluvscp]

Guy is God Put A Smile.... because he's got style and grace?

And Will.. process of elimination. :P

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

yay! i got through it! :D
i dont know how you guys decoded that, but since you all have posted the answer already, i know what it is anyways :lol:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:nice Prospekt^^the list helps!

[BerrymanGirl1]

:)did everyone have a good game,yes?

[BerrymanGirl1]

:P

[Lore]

luckily I found my x&y cd quickly :lol:

[BerrymanGirl1]

well it was great!

[BerrymanGirl1]

Lore:lol:should have done that!!!

[BerrymanGirl1]

:clap:

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

yes, that was fun! and i definitely learned some stuff :)

[BerrymanGirl1]

congrats Lore:hug:good job!

[BerrymanGirl1]

yes,it was very CP educational

[Novah]

maybe you could create a tutorial or something :) the magnets look so pretty :bomb:

I can do that! I'll post the pdfs tomorrow (they're at work where the good printer is) with instructions.

I should be able to send out magnets to the top three winners: Lore, Aleluvscp, and Prospekt if I change them to be 1" x 1" ... maybe bigger! I'll have to see how many I can squeeze onto a single page. :)

And I'll have to print them up after the boss has gone home. :inquisitive:

[Lore]

thanks :blush: congrats to Novah because the game is really fun!

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:we should have more games likes this:lol:

[Aleluvscp]

[BerrymanGirl1]

Novah is made of awesomeness:D

Novah is made of awesomeness:D

Aww. :blush: Well, I'm glad you guys had fun, and I learned how to do timed movie clips in Flash. (I really did learn a lot of good Actionscript today ;))

[Prospekt.]

Wow, really?! I never knew that! :D

Yeah... There was a thing about it in the Web Extra's from LIVE 2003. It was pretty cool... but I can't find the link now... Does anyone else have it?

Btw, awesome quiz.

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

With the X&Y booklet

you know what i always thought it was? i thought that they were trying to make the little code look like pictures of the singles names, or something to do with the single. like on the talk one for instance i thought they did it like that because of the robot in the video. because the code for the talk one looks like a little robot to me :nice:

[Prospekt.]

I can do that! I'll post the pdfs tomorrow (they're at work where the good printer is) with instructions.

GFAHIUGLAH. DEATH to TIMEZONES.

AMEN

[Novah]

GFAHIUGLAH. DEATH to TIMEZONES.

Mental note: I promise to post the next game in the morning instead of after dinner my time. ;)

edit: and to make it way harder so Lore can't come in and win 10 minutes after I put it up. Teehee

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

That was a good theory anyway :D

haha yah....too bad none of the others made sense :lol:

[Lore]

noooooo I don't exist in the mornings :lol:

[Aleluvscp]

Mental note: I promise to post the next game in the morning instead of after dinner my time. ;)

edit: and to make it way harder so Lore can't come in and win 10 minutes after I put it up. Teehee

I'll be watching out for it :dance:

[Prospekt.]

look i just found another cool site that does the code but it has more options


http://www.coldplace.co.uk/xygen.asp

Lol I just remembered this.

When I was only kind of into Coldplay around when X&Y came out... I used to go on their site. And it was full of the code and other stuff. I had absolutely no idea how to work it.

Maybe I'm just stupid... but it was difficult. Lol, so I gave up and closed it.

That's how you lose fans COLDPLAY!

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

ha, back when i was only kinda into coldplay i never even considered going onto their site.

[Aleluvscp]

ha, back when i was only kinda into coldplay i never even considered going onto their site.

Wow... that was the first thing I did as soon as I heard a song of theirs for the first time :lol:

[blue_girl]

:lol: i played it anyway just for fun :lol: pretty cool game. unfortunatelly i was late to see this game :( lol maybe next time hehe oh btw cuuuuuuuuuuuuute magnets :D

[iPsy]

Why did i miss this? :P :(

[Novah]

I hope no one minds if I bump this from page #2... Just this once! (promise!) I spent a lot of time after all and I want to make sure everyone has a chance to play even if the prizes have been given. ;)

p.s. Aleluvscp, still need your contact info. :D

[Lore]

I can hide everyone's anwers in spoiler tags if you want to :)

[Novah]

Nah, that's not necessary. ;)

Any thoughts how I can make the next one harder, though? You would know! ;)

[Lore]

I just received the magnets :bomb: the pic is really bad but the magnets are awesome :bomb:

thanks a lot Novah :bigcry:

Yaay! You're welcome! :dance: :D I'm glad you like them!

As long as this thread is on the first page, I might as well mention that I've decided Game #3 will be my 1000th post, so watch for that, but I don't know what the prize will be yet. Oh, and it's going to be really, really, really hard this time. ;)

edit: Actually scratch that. 448 posts might be a long time to wait if I get bored one day and feel like playing in Flash again. But I will give everyone a head's up this time so that those in different time zones have a fighting chance. :)

[but a dream]

They are so lovely :wacky:

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

ooh Lore those look great!

novah, you should make another game/contest! it's fun!

[*Perrine*]

Woow these are like the most beautiful magnets I've ever seen ! :wideeyed:
Can't wait for the next game :dance:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:DYeah I hope to win a set of those magnets they're just amazing!!
Cant wait for next game;)

[Ohemul]

Is it possible to play the first game still, I mean, without competition? :smiley:
Very good game btw :D

[gotcheese2768]

i want some magnets like those! make me some.

[RedGirl76]

Just seen this thread for the first time... is the game over? Can we still play even if the prize has been given out.

I'm confused :confused:

[BerrymanGirl1]

I think the games over:(

[BerrymanGirl1]

i want some magnets like those! make me some.

:rolleyes:god Erick so demanding

[Ohemul]

I played the game earlier today and it worked :D

I think I'm going to steal that idea with the magnets.. Hope that's OK :rolleyes:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:
but it still works??:D:D

[Ohemul]

Yes, click the link in the first post. :)

[Ohemul]

got to the part with the cardboard thing lyrics:(:(:cry2:

It's Only superstition :D

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:thanks:D

[aniskywalker]

I would sponsor a shirt for a new quiz... Novah???

[BerrymanGirl1]

:Doo that would be awesome!!
I dont think shes online:(

[aniskywalker]

Okay, I can wait for tomorrow :D

[BerrymanGirl1]

okay;)

[Clocks In My Place]

That was a very nice competition, Novah. A shame that I only saw the thread now. :\ I love the magnets. :)

ha, back when i was only kinda into coldplay i never even considered going onto their site.
I didn't either. :\ I probably would have been a huge fan ealier if I did.

[RedGirl76]

Just had my first 5 turns... so frustrating :veryangry2:

Lore winning proves the power of the Mods ;)

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:yes the power of mods!!

I have to find coldplay game#1!!!

[Lore]

I'm just a coldplay maniac sometimes :wacky:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:sometimes;)

[Lore]

yes!

coldplay is not my favorite band

:P

[BerrymanGirl1]

:stunned:
:confused:
w-wh-what??

[Lore]

it's true


I :heart: the beatles





















but coldplay is the 2nd favorite :P

[Novah]

:lol:
but it still works??:D:D
I left the quiz up in case anyone still wanted to play. I'll leave it up as long as I have the space and bandwidth. :)

I would sponsor a shirt for a new quiz... Novah???

I'm actually here!!! I just JUST got home from my vacation-within-a-vacation and was very surprised to see this thread not only on page 1 but at the top! :o

(To those of you who knew I was going to be sleeping in a sailboat, yes I got a photo of myself "clinging to the mast" but I won't be able to upload it until I'm home-home.)

A new quiz--I can do that! A shirt would be a great prize. I ebay'ed a copy of Left Right Left Right Left for the next game but maybe I can give that away some other way. :) I'm moving at the end of the month so I might be busy but I'll see about doing another even-harder quiz for August sometime. :D

[Ohemul]

That'll be great :dance:

[aniskywalker]

Okay, you do the quiz and I sponsor the winner a shirt in his size and a unique design ;)

[Novah]

Sounds good. :)

Okay I have a question to those of you who want to play. Do you like the format of Game #2 --flash based rapid fire questions? Or would you rather have the game occur right here in a thread?

If I do it the 2nd way, I'll post a single question, and the first person to answer right will get a point, then I'll post the next question and the person with the highest score at the end of it will win.

Which method do you guys think would be most fair and most fun? :)

[Ohemul]

The flash version is most fair and most fun! :D

[BerrymanGirl1]

:Dyes the flash version please!!

[Sleep]

FLASH

When will the next game be out?

[BerrymanGirl1]

:D

[Novah]

Flash it is, then!


When will the next game be out?

I'll aim for mid-August. And this time I'll give a 24-hours' notice before the game starts to give people a more fair advantage. I felt bad for those who found the thread two minutes after Lore had won, hehe. ;)

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:
but was there a game 1?:)

[Novah]

Yes, but I think the thread's been deleted and I've taken it offline, anyway. It wasn't nearly as cool, so don't worry; you're not missing much. :)

[BerrymanGirl1]

ok thanks Novah:D

[alexman331]

Phew! That was stressful! But I made it!

[Clocks In My Place]

Sounds great. I can't wait. :)

Flash definetely, to answer you question, Novah.
