The Return of Six Degrees of Star Wars — Page 51

I didn't falter. The system did. The principal tenet of the Six Degrees theory is that anybody in the world can be linked in six steps or less. The variation I employed in this game is that anybody with a legit FILM acting credit can be linked to the SW films in six steps or less. Thus far, we have linked EVERYONE that had a legit FILM credit (unless I overlooked a failed challenge). However, we have now found the kink in the system. The six degrees theory has failed. That's all.

How about my blog-buddy Shane Nickerson (not using The Thin Pink Line)?

My apologies. You are, of course, correct. And, when I think a little more about it, finding someone who cannot be linked to Star Wars by anybody playing the game is actually the equivalent of winning the game (because nobody was able to 'beat' your challenge).

No need to apologize, YIYF. You did nothing wrong. I was just clarifying.

So I guess I can say... I WIN! I WIN! Woo hoo!!!! DEAD THREAD!!! NO MORE CHALLENGES!!! BOSSKY WINS!!!!!

Just kidding. I can't give up this thread. And I don't think any of you would, either.

I'm not a big Firefly/Serenity guy, so if I misused the term "Browncoat" or got it wrong entirely, let me know.
