I've been wanting to call this game for a while. I LOVE 80s music. Especially punk, post-punk, new-wave, and progressive music. Here's my take on an 80s music themed bingo.
Rules for Game 71
1. Sign-ups are open today. You may still sign up after the game starts (if you want to play catch up). The first call will take place on Monday, 9 June 2025. Cards will be sent out by Sunday the 8th, via PM.
2. You must be a TSC member in good standing, with at least 1 meaningful post.
3. Spirited banter is highly encouraged, but please be a gentleman/lady in all interactions.
4. Calls will NOT be The Standard American Bingo Hall calls. The calls will be the names of 80s bands. The Call-List will not be published. (The seasoned player should be able to easily derive the call list once their card is received and work with the other players to ensure everyone has what they need.) Most of my actual calls will be clues that lead you to the name of a band, or a song by that band. (See rule 6)
5. There will be 4 calls per day (based on the Central Time Zone) unless otherwise noted (Weekends included). The calls will be found in one of Spider's posts/activities for the given day, anywhere within the TSC Forum.
6. The calls can occur in a variety of ways:
- Plain Text calls, typed directly or hidden within a post.
- Photo, Video, numeric, code, alternate Languages, or graphic representation of calls may be employed.
- Calls may be encoded or hidden in puzzles, requiring the player to decode or solve to determine the actual call. (If at any point you are stumped, please talk with the other players (Start a Consortium). If, after that you are still stumped, you may contact the caller to resolve any questions.)
- Additional tips/tricks/hints can be found in the following thread: (BINGO SECRETS REVEALED)
8. To win, you will need to complete the pattern below, which is the logo of an 80s band. Extra points if you know who it is without looking it up!.... Once you believe you have a bingo you must type "TSC BINGO" in this thread. The first person to call TSC BINGO wins the game (There are no ties). Then you must submit a photo of your card in this thread, for verification by the caller, before it is official. If it is not a good Bingo, play will resume.
9. The winner of this game will receive the following:
- The highly coveted Bingo Wizard Badge and bragging rights!
- The honor of being the caller of the next Bingo game (to be started within 4 weeks of winning--no bogarting the badge!).
- An additional prize may be offered at the discretion of the caller (callers are not required to offer a prize)
- The winner will receive the following shave soap pack from Southern Witchcrafts and The Cajun Blade.
10. Recaps of calls will be provided, on a daily basis, in the "What's blasting in your headphones?" thread. Hence the 4 calls per day, as that is the daily limit for posts in that thread. I want everyone to listen to and experience this music with me!
11. These rules must be posted by the caller before each game, edited for the specifics of their game.
12. If you have any questions, or if any rule needs clarification, let the caller know. The caller has the final say in any questions, disputes, or clarifications regarding calls/rules.
13. Have Fun! Or, Go Crazy! But..... Why Not Both??
