Introduction

Welcome to my second YouTube Video game! This time, instead of guessing the video by the thumbnail, you are given everything else BUT the thumbnail! Can you work out what video it is based on the view count, comments or related videos?

Gameplay
I will be posting one clue at a time about the video. Each clue will take you one step closer to working out what the video is. For every clue revealed, the maximum possible score is decreased. Clues can include the number of views it has (as of post), related videos, recent/top comments and more!

Scoring
100 points is given to anyone who makes a guess before any clues are given out. It would be VERY unlikely to guess it correctly at this stage
For each clue given out (one per day), 10 points is taken off the 100, so 1 clue is 90, 2 is 80, 3 is 70 and so on. When all 9 clues are given out and still no one has made a correct guess, there will be a time limit of 20 hours after the ninth/last clue is given, where every 2 hours the 10 points decreases by 1, so 2 hours after last clue given would be 9 points, 4 hours 8 points, and so on. Any delays on posting clues will only put you (the players) at an advantage, meaning more time to think of an answer before more clues decrease the score.

No need to PM me, as players are able to post their guesses straight into the thread.

Hai hotchoc :hello:

I think I understand the game so look forward to it

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 02:41 PM

Game 1

OK so I've announced the first game. You have until I post the first clue to make a random guess as to what it is. I will try to post it around 24 hours from now

You may keep guessing but only one guess per post. You cannot make another guess until I have replied to it.

Pinocchio

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 02:44 PM

No! Not technically a clue, but it is a music video!

Rixton - Me and my broken heart

Posted by: Dobbo 31st October 2014, 02:50 PM

PSY - Gangnam Style

Posted by: Neil. S 31st October 2014, 02:51 PM

Sounds about right actually

Posted by: Dobbo 31st October 2014, 02:54 PM

Oops I didn't even see you've edited in all the clues...

Rixton - Me And My Broken Heart

Posted by: Mack 31st October 2014, 03:02 PM

Shouldn't this be moved to "The Lounge" forum by the way.

Posted by: ► ▲ N 31st October 2014, 03:04 PM

I got 'Me And My Broken Heart' at clue #3 although that's only the example so I won't get any points for it

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 04:34 PM

Guesses all wrong so far (surprisingly )

Posted by: Neil. S 31st October 2014, 04:35 PM

Really? Sure looks like Rixton to me

Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing

Posted by: M¤th 31st October 2014, 04:43 PM

I just looked on Me and My Broken Heart's statistics and that, in fact, is the song.

Posted by: Neil. S 31st October 2014, 04:49 PM

does that say, HotChoc?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 31st October 2014, 05:08 PM

I have to admit I did think it was me and my broken heart as well

Is it wait on me- rixton

Posted by: { bré } 31st October 2014, 05:09 PM

The clues posted are for an 'example'. hotchoc is currently asking people to guess based on no clues at all. I'm not sure what the point of that is but that's what I understand is happening.

Posted by: Neil. S 31st October 2014, 05:40 PM

Oh well then my guess would be: Pinocchio

Posted by: { bré } 31st October 2014, 05:42 PM

I guess Pinocchio

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 06:03 PM

Yeah it's basically a pot luck thing but still better chance than the lottery

Rixton's MAMBH is right but that's the example

I meant the guesses are all wrong for Game 1 (Which has no clues yet, which is just a stab in the dark thing until I post the first clue )

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 06:05 PM

What is with this Pinocchio craze?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 31st October 2014, 06:14 PM

Is it "Auld Lang Syne" by Gay Gordon and the Mince Pies.

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 06:19 PM

Nope.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 31st October 2014, 06:20 PM

Otherwise I am forced to guess I Predict A Riot (When This Song Is Revealed). Or you know, to be stereotypical, Owl City.

Naturally. I'm sure that'll point one of us to the right answer.

Posted by: hotchoc26 31st October 2014, 07:14 PM

Hmmm... Maybe someone might guess it correctly after all...

Most of these guesses are quite recent hits. Of course I'm neither confirming or denying whether or not it is a hit, nor recent

Keep guessing!

Posted by: hotchoc26 1st November 2014, 06:09 PM

OK, here's the first clue. Guess correctly using just this first clue within 24 hours and 90 points is yours!
