Basic Info
Name:The Gory Bacon Game
Bio
Currently the time limit per round is approximately 24 hours after the initial posting of the names, depending on when get to this.

Rules of the game...

It's a cross between the Kevin Bacon Game and Scattergories.

First, two actors names are "drawn".

Now, like the Kevin Bacon Game you must connect these two actors within 6 steps (movies). The catch is... if someone else uses the
same movie connection you do, you do not receive any points for that movie - so it could be beneficial to use ALL 6 steps to get the most
points. (One strategy being, either you cancel out other people's points and you can earn more points).

If you do happen to use 1 step and NO ONE else uses that step, you get a 5 point bonus (6 points being the most to score in each round) - but if someone else uses it, you get NO points in that round.

Post your submission as a comment to the round's actor list. The comments are screened until the end of the round.

Only movies are counted (including voice acting roles in movies) - not television shows or made for television movies.

Only one submission per person.

Example...

Chosen - Tom Hanks and Richard Gere

Player One -
Tom Hanks was in Philadelphia with Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington was in Ricochet with John Lithgow
John Lithgow was in The Twilight Zone: The Movie with Dan Aykroyd
Dan Aykroyd was in Coneheads with Jason Alexander
Jason Alexander was in Pretty Woman is Richard Gere

Player Two -
Tom Hanks was in Joe Versus the Volcano with Abe Vigoda
Abe Vigoda was in Look Who's Talking with Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis was in 12 Monkeys with Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt was in The Mexican with Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts was in Pretty Woman with Richard Gere

Player Three -
Tom Hanks was in Joe Versus the Volcano with Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan was in Courage Under Fire with Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington was in Ricochet with John Lithgow
John Lithgow was in The Twilight Zone: The Movie with Dan Aykroyd
Dan Aykroyd was in Coneheads with Jason Alexander
Jason Alexander was in Pretty Woman is Richard Gere

Scoring -
Player One had 5 movies listed and 4 were 'repeated' so only receives 1 point

Player Two had 5 movies listed and 2 were 'repeated' so only receives 3 points

Player Three had 6 movies listed and 5 were 'repeated' so only receives 1 point

Note: Player Three could have connected Tom Hanks and Denzel directly, but used an extra step to earn another point (good thing as
well, since the rest were repeats).
