Wrong thread?

Nope.

A Musical Number Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies Drinkin' dirty big pints of stout Blue is the colour of all that I wear She is balled up on the couch This is where the road crashed into the ocean Not concerned with the sick amongst the pure Just making rhymes of yesterday Boys and girls collide to the music in my ear How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable I need you like a heart needs a beat I'm so terrified of no one else but me And a whole lot of space to breathe I leave tear stains on the ground Handed out some flyers at the show How his kisses taste sweet like wine You can't stand where I stand Just smile and let it go Answer: _ _ _ _ _ _ _

We can try the clock-point-thing Seinfeld -- Raymond + Brady Bunch -- Full House - 9 The Brady Bunch - 6 Happy Days - 3 Seinfeld - 2 Everybody Loves Raymond - 2 Worst Sitcoms 6. Family Ties 7. The Cosby Show 8. The Big Bang Theory 9. Friends 11. The Simpsons 11. Family Matters 12. I Love Lucy 13. Cheers 14. M*A*S*H

It'll be rocking again when the list is something people are very opinionated/passionate about. Like best superhero or something.

That's an idea, but who would be responsible for carrying that out? I think this list has just revealed a variety of opinion more so than other lists are likely to.

But he has no accumulated winnings. (Or if you prefer, the amount added to each subsequent bet matches that of the accumulated winnings, nullifying them.)

These eight hints get more revealing as you go...

Seinfeld -- Cosby Show -- Friends ++ Full House - 13 Everybody Loves Raymond - 13 The Brady Bunch - 13 Seinfeld - 13 The Big Bang Theory - 11 Happy Days - 11 Family Ties - 11 The Cosby Show - 9 Family Matters - 5 The Simpsons - 5 Friends - 5 I Love Lucy - 2 Worst Sitcom 13. Cheers 14. M*A*S*H

Seinfeld -- Full House ++ Friends ++ How can anyone think Friends is funnier than Seinfeld? Full House - 13 Seinfeld - 13 Everybody Loves Raymond - 13 The Brady Bunch - 13 The Big Bang Theory - 11 Happy Days - 11 Family Ties - 11 The Cosby Show - 11 Friends - 7 Family Matters - 5 The Simpsons - 5 I Love Lucy - 4 Worst Sitcom 13.

Yes. It's the fourteenth worst sitcom from the list.

The logic is circular round, As you say, "this quaint riddle's not sound." Respectfully, I still rebound, Deflecting that critics abound. May I take all the slings and those darts, For all riddles are beauty--an art. Judge not with intellect but your heart, Or hinted message at core falls apart. But 'fore you're giving words much credit, Quit thinking said answer's inherent. Complain, no mercy, you have merit Suggesting I fix, delete, 'n' edit. Gone will be the verses and quatrains. Purged will be the cryptic campaigns. Hack apart even all words it contains. Kick 'em out--maybe little remains. Now go doubt all or part of my pretense: Initially, this problem'll make sense. Lastly, solve the question hence: Enlighten what game I try to dispense.

Okay, so I've rewritten small parts of the poem to add an extra, but hidden, clue on how to solve this puzzle. I hope I haven't lost too much of the original flavor (though the meter's all ****ed up... for a reason).

Ah! "Fleet thinking" = battleship. Another of the puzzles was battleship. The solution for THAT puzzle, laying the ships' placements over THIS puzzle, leaves us with another cryptic. And THAT answer should be a board game.

Nicely done! If it helps, the "final" answer will be the name of a board game.

Forgot to mention I got one!

And now for something completely different... I have another cryptic puzzle from another puzzle hunt. And as I'm not yet talented in this style of puzzle, I call on you! Have at it.

Well, I'll spoiler the answered grid and let PG post his answers and explanations when he sees fit.
