The goal this week is to match up 20 "couples" from the 60 game characters shown above. Most are love interests, but some are simply partners and may be of the same sex.

Choose the pairs that match best. There are 20 characters thrown in just to throw you off. There is no need to identify the game/series, simply give me the two numbers that make up each pair.

Due to the ease of using process of elimination based on artwork, accrued point values will decrease as shown below.

5 points - Guesses 1-20
3 points - Guesses 21-25
1 point - Guesses 26+

The point values are based on total guesses for the entire week with a maximum possible 100 points for the week.

Send guesses by forum PM or by email ([email]agtournament@comcast.net[/email]) ONLY!!

Don't forget to check the Official Tournament Info thread for any general tips and guidelines and Good Luck!

Bastich Instant Win #3: How many computer games do I own (4 digit number)? Submit your guess and the person whose guess is closest to the actual number instantly wins a game to be collected as per the tournament rules.

Hopefully, I didn't mess anything up this week...

That is part of the design to throw you off. There is only one best answer.

If we were talking movies and there were pictures of Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon 3, the correct answer would be Mel and Danny as they are the two characters that make the best pair as they are partners in the film, while Joe is just a side character.

The key this week is to know the relationships between the characters, not just match people from the same game....

Very few have submitted a guess for the Instant win. I don't know if you just didn't see it or what, but this week requires an answer in order to have a chance at winning.

As far as this week is concerned, due to the unlimited guesses and the fact that you always get a least one point for a correct answer, there is no reason why everyone can't eventually get every single answer correct. All you have to do is spam me with every combination and you're guaranteed to get at least 20 points, and that assumes your first 25 guesses are incorrect which is highly unlikely...

That's true... hmm... perhaps after 30 or 35 guesses you should stop giving points?

But what about the side character then? I found couples in which there is a side character with no one to match with  :-[ This character must be matched with somebody too right?

Nope. If there is more than 2 characters from the same game then one or more of them isn't going to be used. It is just a decoy. Always choose the BEST answer as well.  

Remember, there are 60 characters and only 20 pairs, so 20 of the people don't match to anything...

Just wondering (sorry if it's obvious and I just missed it) but can the pairs be from two games in the series, or must they be from the same game. ie. Mr X from Best Game 1, and Mrs X from Best Game 2 are a pair?

This week is based on relationships, not specific games, so if a relationship between characters spans multiple games in a series, so can the character pics I have posted above. They don't have to be from the same game within the series.

To reiterate, a picture from game 1 of a series can absolutely be a match with a pic from game 4 of the same series.

What game has the characters 22 & 34?  I guessed it right, but only through eliminating a bunch of others.

You are definitely King of last minute guesses. I don't think you've submitted a single guess before the last couple minutes each week.

I enjoyed it, too, although I am a bit balder because of it.

Done.

Some of the characters are listed by series, and not by specific game.
