Sorry for the long delay, everyone - or, at least, Agent Skulder and JoseChung.

No S's, but there are two C's:

__ E T E / C A __ C A __ __ __

Letters used so far: A, T, E, R, S, C

Two letters left to guess.

by **JoseChung** » July 24th, 2012, 4:26 pm

I'm going to take a guess here since the first name could only be Pete. Only a few characters in the X-Files with that first name and only one with a Ca_ca___ surname.

Pete Calcagni. He was in Die Hand Die Verletzt (got to love that Mrs. Paddock) as the school psychologist who dismissed student problems when speaking with Agent Mulder. Possessed, he killed two of the other Satanists and himself, saving Mulder and Scully.

You are absolutely correct, JC! Well done!
It's your turn next. Also, how about giving our other games a try? :sun

by **JoseChung** » July 25th, 2012, 8:32 pm

I'll branch out into more games. Which would you recommend?

As to the next puzzle, I'm thinking of a character name:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _

This one's going to be pretty easy. Next time around I'll pick something more like SWAT team member number 4. ;-)

by **Agent Skulder** » July 25th, 2012, 9:38 pm

OK... (cracks knuckles)... Is our friend Mr E among the letters?

As for other games in progress, try this - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2122&start=0
"You what, mate?"

It looks agonizing but it's fun and deceptively simple. Each question results in a word or part of a word, which in this puzzle is part of a quote... I'll try to bring "where we left off" up to the "top" - see what you think.

Because London Lady listed so many questions, a couple of us were just taking a handle of questions each, to leave questions for others to join in. The middle of summer everything slows down, and this year is no exception... :sun

by **JoseChung** » July 26th, 2012, 2:12 am

I like that one, it looks nice and complex. I'll look into it more in the morning, I just wanted to give you your letters.

_ _ _ _ _ _ E / _ _ _ E _ _ _

Jose Chung

by **Agent Skulder** » July 26th, 2012, 2:30 am

I'm always glad to get the E's out of the way...

To make your "Hangman" life easy, a good "trick" for this game is to keep copying & pasting your basic "format" from one post to the next. The basic format should look like this, with correct and / or "used" letters filled in:

A character (as posts and comments accumulate, new players don't have to search to see what the category is if we supply it)

Letters used: E

_ _ _ _ _ _ E / _ _ _ E _ _ _

by **LondonLady** » July 26th, 2012, 4:36 pm

Next letter guess: are there any R's?

by **Agent Skulder** » July 26th, 2012, 5:07 pm

... Or A's?

by **JoseChung** » July 26th, 2012, 6:06 pm

No Rs, 1 A.

_ _ _ A _ _ E / _ _ _ E _ _ _

Next letter will probably crack it.

Jose Chung

by **Agent Skulder** » July 26th, 2012, 6:28 pm

.... So then, to carry forward...

Letters used: E, R, A

How about "T"...?

by **LondonLady** » July 26th, 2012, 7:34 pm

JoseChung wrote:Next letter will probably crack.

Oh, I'm not so sure, JC. This one might be harder than it looks.

Next letter guess: S

Also, don't forget to list which letters have been already used. Thanks

by **JoseChung** » July 28th, 2012, 2:29 am

Letters used so far: E, R, A, T, and S.

S _ S A _ _ E / _ _ _ E S _ _

What is it 6 guesses max? So 6 letter guesses and then you can only guess the name or what?

Jose Chung

by **Agent Skulder** » July 28th, 2012, 6:56 am

Jose - Most games rules appear in the first, or oldest post of each game...

Here's a recap and my guess at the end:

For Hangman, there are 8 guesses. In rare cases, like a very long quote it is up to the Games Host if they want to extend the guesses to 10 or an even dozen.

So 6 letter guesses and then you can only guess the name or what?

Once the total guesses are used, players (even one who never guessed letters) try to guess the answer. Each host decides how many solution guesses they'll allow. Sometimes the host says "You have till X-day to guess..."

If no one guesses correctly, the host "wins" & can pass that turn to a specific player, or anyone who wants it, or, they create a new puzzle themselves.

Exception: some players (... me) guess words as they go along. Single word or even complete solve "guesses" do NOT count as 1 of the 8 letter guesses. If a player guesses the word "deed," and that's confirmed, the host does NOT automatically fill in any other d's or e's. That's why it's not counted as a guess.

Are there any N's?
(... And now there are 2 guesses left.)

by **JoseChung** » July 28th, 2012, 4:20 pm

Plenty of guesses left then and a lot to my discretion. Well N clears it up a lot though so full name guesses will probably follow shortly.

Letters used so far: E, R, A, T, S, and N.

S _ S A N N E / _ _ _ E S _ _

by **Agent Skulder** » July 28th, 2012, 5:48 pm

How about an... M?

by **JoseChung** » July 28th, 2012, 7:28 pm

There is an M. Letters used so far: E, R, A, T, S, N, and M.

S _ S A N N E / M _ _ E S _ _

One of my favorite minor characters.

by **Agent Skulder** » July 28th, 2012, 7:36 pm

Very exciting... Just 1 letter left to guess, y'all! Who's going to guess it??? cancer]

by **LondonLady** » July 30th, 2012, 12:48 am

Agent Skulder, I bet you knew this answer!

The answer is: Susanne Modeski.

by **Agent Skulder** » July 30th, 2012, 12:52 am

Yes 'um! Chief Cricket Fogerty was trying to direct a newbie to this puzzle, but alas, he and Cricket Cook got soused on moonshine.

by **LondonLady** » July 30th, 2012, 1:01 am

Yes, indeed!

I'm going to wait for JC to confirm, just in case my answer is incorrect!

by **Agent Skulder** » July 30th, 2012, 1:45 am

Sounds like a plan... Fogerty and Cook, XFU's CCR crickets, concur!

by **JoseChung** » July 30th, 2012, 3:22 pm

Yep, right on the money. John Fitzgerald Byers' love interest, Susanne Modeski. She got him, Langly, and Frohike started on their Lone Gunmen work and reappears in the Las Vegas episode "Three of a Kind."

Your turn, LondonLady. byers]

by **LondonLady** » August 1st, 2012, 1:41 am

Hurray!

Next is an object, because we haven't had one for a while. :sun

__ __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ __ __ __ __

by **Agent Skulder** » August 1st, 2012, 2:25 am

How about.... T?

by **LondonLady** » August 1st, 2012, 2:36 am

No, T's, although right now, I am drinking tea!

__ __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ __ __ __ __

Letters used so far: T

by **Agent Skulder** » August 1st, 2012, 2:56 am

So how about an A since it's part of 'tea?'

by **JoseChung** » August 1st, 2012, 12:12 pm

How about the letter S?

JoseChung

by **LondonLady** » August 3rd, 2012, 2:56 am

Two A's, but no S's:

__ __ A __ __ / __ A __ __ __ __ __

Letters used so far: T, A, S

by **Agent Skulder** » August 3rd, 2012, 1:58 pm

Any R's?

by **JoseChung** » August 3rd, 2012, 9:55 pm

I'd like to buy a vowel. I'm going to go with the letter E to finish off the word "Tea."

by **LondonLady** » August 5th, 2012, 8:47 pm

No R's and no E's! :mrgreen:

__ __ A __ __ / __ A __ __ __ __ __

Letters used so far: T, A, S, R, E

Here's a cup of fine English Earl Grey tea for you, JC, as a small consolation.

by **JoseChung** » August 5th, 2012, 10:18 pm

Shoot. This is tough one. So many guesses have flopped so far.

How about the letter L?

by **LondonLady** » August 8th, 2012, 9:58 pm

Good choice, JC! There are two L's:

__ L A __ __ / __ A __ L __ __ __

Letters used so far: T, A, S, R, E, L

Two letters left.

Surely now the answer is obvious! I love saying that! LOL

by **JoseChung** » August 9th, 2012, 12:00 am

An object, huh? I'm starting to think its a boat name yet I have no idea what the name is.

The letter B?

by **LondonLady** » August 11th, 2012, 1:15 am

Another excellent choice. Two B's, and they fit into crucial places:

B L A __ __ / __ A __ L B __ __

Letters used so far: T, A, S, R, E, L, B

Only one letter left to guess, but I really think that someone will guess the answer before then.

by **Agent Skulder** » August 11th, 2012, 2:28 am

The vowel I?

I think w#1 is black or blank...

by **LondonLady** » August 16th, 2012, 1:53 am

One I coming up:

B L A __ __ / __ A I L B __ __

Letters used so far: T, A, S, R, E, L, B, I

All the letters have now been used. I'll now give everyone 30 seconds to solve the puzzle! Not really! I'll give everyone until tomorrow evening. I think that one of you will solve the puzzle by then.

by **Agent Skulder** » August 16th, 2012, 2:25 am

BLACK MAILBOX ???

by **LondonLady** » August 16th, 2012, 2:31 am

Yes! Do you remember which episode features this object?
