Kobold King he/him Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 WLIU Name 10 times that a Doctor Who companion has died. Yes, you can count the same companion multiple times. Major spoilers, so beware. Adric in that classic series Cyberman episode. Captain Jack Harkness in The Parting of the Ways. Captain Jack Harkness in Utopia. Captain Jack Harkness in The Sound of Drums. Captain Jack Harkness in The Stolen Earth. River Song in Forest of the Dead. Rory Williams in Amy's Choice. Rory Williams in The Hungry Earth. Amelia Pond in The Angels Take Manhattan. Rory Williams in The Angels Take Manhattan. ...Wasn't there a recent death I'm overlooking? Eh, I'm sure it'll come to me. Name seven different planets the Doctor has landed on. 2
+Slowswift Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Gallifrey Earth New Earth Raxacoricofallapatorius Skaro Karn The one with the fish guys from Season 3! I can't remember its name... WLIU, name all of the episodes from Season 8 of Doctor Who. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Deep Breath Into the Dalek Robots of Sherwood Listen Time Heist The Caretaker Kill the Moon Mummy on the Orient Express Flatline In the Forest of the Night Dark Water Death in Heaven Last Christmas (Christmas special) That's probably not the right order, but fortunately I wasn't told to give them in order. I'm pretty sure that's all of them, though. Name eight individual Doctor Who villains. (Meaning specific villainous characters, not entire races.)

Not only is it correct, it actually is in order, as far as I can tell! I actually considered asking for it in order, but that might've been a bit much. Anyways: The Master Rassilon Omega Davros Cassandra The Devil (dunno if that's what he's actually called) The Siren The Fisher King WLIU, name all the episodes of BBC's Sherlock.

Elbereth she/her Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) 1. A Study in Pink 2. The Blind Banker 3. The Great Game 4. A Scandal in Bohemia 5. The Hound of the Baskervilles 6. Fall of the Reichenbach 7. The Empty Hearse 8. The Sign of Three 9. Charles Augustus Magnussen I'm not totally sure about all of these, and I may have replaced the tv series title with the title of the Doyle short story in some cases. And I'm pretty sure the last one is wrong. Edited November 25, 2015 by Elbereth 1

But hey, there's worse things to replace them with that the originals! Edited November 25, 2015 by Ookla the Ineffable
Kobold King he/him Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 You didn't give a new challenge, so I'll go ahead and post one to keep the thread alive. Without looking it up, give the real names of four Sharders. Only if their names have been made public, of course. Don't go revealing anything confidential.

You cannot name yourself (if you live in Utah). Edit: Does it help at all if I say that I worded it that way intentionally to give two freebies in the form of people who aren't technically Sharders but have accounts on the site? (*cough*PeterandBrandon*cough*)
little wilson she/her Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Well, since no one's even attempted to answer this, I'll answer it: Seonid Maill firstRainbowRose Rubix Herowannabe Zas Slowswift Lyssie mckeedee blademaster WLIU, name 10 countries that are part of both the UN and the EU (bonus points if you can name their capitals as well).

Plaeggs he/him Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Or not. Just to resurrect this game, name the three dragons of Aegon the Conqueror and his two Sister-Wives, Visenya and Rhaenys. (Kind of a GoT nut, I know. You'll probably have to have read the books in order to get this one)
Landis963 he/him Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Balerion, Maraxes, Vhagar? Or am I misordering them (and their kin) somehow? Without looking them up, name all the mad scientist characters you can, and their stories of origin. Top 3 above 10 characters gain a rep boost. Edited January 1, 2016 by Landis963 1

Landis963 he/him Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 HRW- London Heathrow LON - Gatwick JFK- JFK International NWK- Newark OHR- OHare International CDG - Charles de Gaulle (Paris) SIN - Singapore TYO - Tokyo LAX - Los Angeles IND - Indiana International Airport FLO - Orlando, Florida ATL - Atlanta VEN - Venice ROM - Rome HEL - Helsinki MCH - Munich SFO - San Francisco.

little wilson she/her Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Not quite, on that one, Landis. You've got half right, but you're wrong on the other half. Namely, Heathrow, Gatwick, Newark, OHare, Orlando, Venice, Munich, Zurich, Geneva, and Vienna. (Also, IND is for Indianapolis, but I assume that's what you meant)

(Also, IND is for Indianapolis, but I assume that's what you meant) LON is Heathrow, GTK is Gatwick, NRK is Newark, CHI is Ohare, ITA is Venice, VNA is Vienna? Still haven't looked those up.
little wilson she/her Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 LON is all London airports. Heathrow and Gatwick start with an L, but the rest is based on their airports. That should help you out a lot. Newark, OHare, Venice, and Vienna are still wrong (you're really close with Vienna though).
Retsam Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 As a Chicagoan, O'Hare is ORD: I believe it was originally called "orchard"?
