Bermuda Daily - Issue #100: Lend me your ears

Here we are. Number 100 arrived at last. When all this started I didn't think I'd posted a Issue #100.

As an entree, lets suggest a song to listen to. For today we chose an old pirate song from 1975. On air on the best (yet only) Pirates Glory Radio, Radio Bermuda, performed by George "Pirate Bob" Harrison his The Pirate Song.




But, but, there's also the "Lend me your ears!" Contest!

The Lend me your ears Contest is set as this: the prize is

100 credits

split as 50-30-20 among the best three contestant.


It's very simple to join in. There are nine questions to answer.
Some of the questions are easy, and they're only worth a few points. Some are difficult (and one, I believe, is extra difficult) and they give more points.
There's no need to reply to all of them.
An exact answer will receive a Yes with the amount of points scored.
A wrong answer will only receive a No, but no further hints.
One partecipant cannot reply twice exept to question 9, which can be guessed multiple times and each time I'll post an hint more.

There's one week to reply. At the end of the week the player with the most points wins.
Guesses/answers will be accepted till next Tuesday midnight (in the night between June 9 and June 10, gametime).

But beware: don't post your reply here in forum. Send it in game via pm to me, Dejanira, and to Meliva (she accepted to be a judge to be sure no one would cheat, not even me). Thank you Mel.

Okay.

8. Name at least three references to people or events of Pirates Glory.
(5-7 points, bonus point if the easter eggs were so well hidden that no one else named it)

9. What is my favorite album (not a song, must be the whole album)?
(7 points, for each guess I’ll post an hint. The first hint is: I never tell anyone and this artist has never be on air on Bermuda Daily)

The higher right answered question will break ties, if any.

Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all

<edited>

<sorry dman, don't post your answers in forum please, send a pm to me and/or Meliva>
<anyway I'll consider your answers valid, I can't tell the points in public before the end of the contest but your guess on number nine worths a further hint>


----------------------------


<edit again to repost the original text, with answers in red>

1. I didnt see a contest in 50 but in 51.5 there was one with a clue in the title and you were supposed to use it to guess the album you were thinking of

(ok, 1 point)

2. 105 unless double issues dont count and i think there was 3 of those which would make 102 in that case

(ok, +2 points, total 3)

3. yes in issue number 8 seems he liked cotton eye joe lol

(good, +2 points, total 5)

4. the missing issue was number #5

(nope)

5. in issue 7 giorgio by moroder and i guess in 50 with jim carrey but not sure the disappointment qualifies as a thumbs down since it was in relation to a missing artist someone would have liked to seen in the listing carried on in that issue

(I didn't read those two as a disappointment so... wrong)

6. 50 because it contained an index issued up to that issue

(good try but nope, as I meant actually suggested songs not just links)

7 no answer

8. left blank in hopes of the easter egg

9. 2pac all eyez on me lol because its not but ya gotta start somewhere

(nope, but that's the spirit)

lol i hope my entry encourages all you haters to go out and steal those credits from me because dejanira has been consistant with posting
and due to all the complaints of poor forum discussions you now have an opportunity to be positive and beat me as well as perusing some good music and return the favor for her work ... can a topic or issue get any better?

Thank you

Here's an hint on question number 9: it's not about Bee Gees

(not a big hint, but maybe someone might think they were)

Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.

Here's another clue for number nine question: it's an album published before 2000.

And here's another clue for question nine: it is an album by a band, not a solo artist (even if the band tied its story to mainly a single person, as it happens many times)

Extra clue: even if I keep repeating number nine, it has nothing to share with The Beatles vey peculiar piece based on the number nine
(but the Fab Four were out of the Contest for I stated that the answer is a band that never appeared in a previuos Issue, while The Beatles did).

Congrats o the #100!

I have no idea on any of those question! I remember once thinking: "isn't there missing one #?" But I just can't remember which! It was like a year or two ago!

Anyway, nice contest!

Hello Axy, try your luck Many of the questions can be answered by info-digging the forum. I guess the only one really difficult is the last one, I admit, but I'm giving clues

Today's clue about question nine: the album name is not exactly the same as the band name, but reminds it.
