American Amber?

BOOM! First guess. Very nice.

It's Silver Peak's Sierra Amber.

Man are those glistening granite counters at your brewpub? Way classier than what I have to work with...

HAHA yup. And the "J.J Abram's Star Trek" style glare is attributed to the granite glare from the indoor lights and the street. It's not all neon-style like Vegas... they've just been lighting the hell out of downtown in order to make to seem safer. It's not like Washoe County isn't super safe already anyway.

K, can we agree on some sort of criteria for when people forfeit their turn to throw a picture up?

Last night (Saturday night/Sunday morning) I got the right answer right before putting HBT away for the night, and then before I even woke up — and therefore before even learning I won — bottlebomber posted the next pic. And he DID give it about 12½ hours, although the understanding had been to wait 24 hours. This particular example doesn't bug me much, but I've actually been sitting on a picture for a while now (granted, not a very good one) and I seem to be the only person who is having my turn repeatedly hijacked.

What's the rush to get this game to the point where it's old and stale and everything is a repeat ? It's going to happen sooner or later, but everybody (including me) seems to be way too damn impatient! Heck, the original rules called for only one hint - and one guess - every 24 hours... one guy recently was so impatient that he just gave away the answer after s whole 6 hours!

For instance - not one, but TWO guys were unaware of the rules and just went right ahead and posted a picture. But at they just had no idea that the winner gets to post next, so even those weren't nearly as annoying as just a few days ago when heferly waited all of *1 HOUR* before declaring me too slow, and posting his own pic! And then of course there's a whole bunch of much less extreme examples (like the one I originally mentioned) that I've been fine with individually - bottlebomber's been one of the cooler guys to play - but when combined with everything else (and the fact that it seems to happen almost exclusively to me) gets a bit frustrating at times.

Like I said, I'm an impatient myself, so if people want to kill the game faster by giving people 12 hours instead of 24, I'm fine with that. But I just want it to be clear... so are we going to agree on 12 hours? Also, it'd be nice if people spoke up when somebody is clearly out of line, either for reasons mentioned hefe, or something such as a person throwing out a way-too broad guess (eg, "cider, lager, etc), as the person whose turn it is can't even address it without giving out a major hint that they might not want to we're not playing 20 questions

I apologize for the length of the post, though the ironic thing is that the people who will have the biggest problem with that are probably the ones who need to read it the most!

 

[heferly]

I just meant mine as a quick place holder, since we both had the answer and mine was easy...should've stated you were next regardless...but, i guess it's getting out of hand...pull out that wedgie and let's get back to our regular programming (with rules)

 

[bottlebomber]

No no emjays right.... we need to get this back on track. I tried getting the OP to lay down some rules but he didn't. So let's agree on what to do to keep it going

weekday rules, we should stick to the 24 hr cycle.

the weekends are a bit more active and impatient. i think for the friday/saturday shifts a 6-12 hr gap is a bit more fitting.

 

[FromZwolle]

No no emjays right....

now you've done it.

So your saying that no action for 24 hours means someone else can step in?

now you've done it.

He's already a smug little b@stard. There's not much I could do to make it worse

that just means we have to guess correctly more often to keep it going :fro:

 

[Germelli1]

Haha I got my turn taken taken this weekend for not posting in 2.5 hours as well.

 

[LVBen]

one guy recently was so impatient that he just gave away the answer after s whole 6 hours!

If you are talking about me, here is why: 3 people claimed to already know the answer (including one that PMed me with the correct answer, so I know for sure that he knew the correct answer.) Plus, I was getting ready to leave and wouldn't have been able to check for 18 hours or so.

In that time someone would've definitely gotten the answer, but I wouldn't have been able to tell that person. It would've just delayed the game for everyone that wanted to play.

 

[bottlebomber]

Im pretty sure he's talking about me though. However im guilty for the same reason. I was going to be away from the forum for an undetermined number of hours, so I just wanted to let that one go, since I came by it dishonestly anyway

 

[mcbethenstein]

As a non offender, I just want to say, let's get the game on! Be prompt and be respectful. Since I've almost posted as many pics as emjay (I'm at 7 or 8 now), I'm probably the next target!

whose turn is it anyway?

 

[heferly]

jaythebassist, but he still has until 1:18a to post

 

[jaythebassist]

okay here we go.

 

[BenS]

Robust porter

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Milk Stout

 

[bottlebomber]

Dry Irish Stout

 

[heferly]

brown porter

 

[mcbethenstein]

Coffee stout

 

[Vongo]

I agree with milk stout

 

[LVBen]

okay here we go.

Back from the beach, looks like I missed some action! Just my input into the rules...I think the weekday/weekend rules would work best. The only time it gets really slow is like 3am on a weeknight, and thats to be expected. Most people are good about at least checking the next morning.

Now for my guess, a too dark american brown ale

 

[jaythebassist]

so far no one has hit it.

Here's a hint: this is a relatively new style (damn, too easy).
