EDIT: Ok so I'm seeing that people are saying that they don't wanna play this game, so so far its not looking good, but If you're saying no without even looking at the game and trying it, please just take the time to check it out. It's a hella addicting game. Even getting a score of 4 with kevin bacon is hard.

Okay, before I run this game I wanna see who would play it. If you don't know what the oracle of bacon is, its a game where you type in an actor/actress's name and it links them to kevin bacon through movies they were in. It then gives you a score based on how long the link is. For example (taken from the oracle of bacon site):
The Oracle says: Sean Penn has a Kevin Bacon number of 1.
Sean Penn was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon
Sean Penn has a number of 1 because he was in mystic river with kevin bacon. The site also has an advanced version of the game where you can connect any two actors, not just one to kevin bacon. So, heres how the game would work:
Entry: Entry will be 25 geos.
How to Play: After the entry period i decide on is over, I will post the name of an actor or actress and a target number. Then, those who entered will try to find an actor/actress that has a bacon number equal to or higher than the target number. When someone gets one that works, they will PM me with the answer and if they are the first person to find a person that works, they win.
*NOTE: ANY GUESSES BY SOMEONE NOT ENTERED WILL NOT BE COUNTED*
Prize: The winner will recieve 90% of the pot (I will keep 10% and any interest accumulated). So, if there is 500 geos in entries, the winner will recieve 450 geos, a profit of 425 geos (450 prize minus 25 entry fee). And remember, the more people that enter, the higher the pot will be.
If I do decide to run this game I will do many rounds, possibly 2 or 3 a week.
So tell me what you think guys, and if you need any more info just ask.
