Love Iron Maiden? Love Maidenfans.com? Bored? If you answered Yes to any of those questions, then this game is for you!
It’s the Maidenfans official scavenger hunt! Here’s how it’ll work: I’ll ask a variety of questions, some related to Iron Maiden, some related to Maidenfans.com, some having nothing at all to do with anything.
Anyone who wants to participate will try his or her best to answer as many questions as possible. When you’ve done all you can, send your answers to me via e-mail. (Posting them here would kinda defeat the purpose of a competition!)
Points will be awarded for each answer, and the person who gets the most points wins a prize. I haven’t quite decided what it’ll be yet, but I have a few ideas. That’ll be part of the fun!
Why am I doing this? Because I think it’ll be fun and help us get to know one another better……and I have too much free time.
Here are the rules:
1. Judges’ (there may be more than one) decision is final.
2. No assclowns. (excepting Maverick)
3. You have to be a member ‘in good standing’ of the Maidenfans forums.
4. One entry per member, please.
5. Void in Quebec. (just kidding)
So when you have all the answers, send them to silentthorn@hotmail.com in an email with your screen name at the top. (please include both the questions AND the answers; it makes things easier)
Some questions will be straightforward, some will require some thought, some are quite bizarre and completely subjective.
Without further ado, here are the questions:
1. Name all the current members of Iron Maiden in reverse alphabetical order (according to their last names) (3 points)
