Give the order to deploy the glaive.

Same rules applied as CJ's version.

Posted Image

1. Mountain/Swamp/Forest/Plains - Guessed by CJ, Reasoning correctly given by CJ (4/5 MTG lands)
2. Dig/Flamethrower/Earthquake/Psychic - Guessed and Reason by TCDP (Pokémon moves)
3. Duck/Mouse/Rabbit/Pirate - Guessed by CJ, Reasoning by CJ (disney characters, Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Roger Rabbit/ Jack Sparrow)
4. Pun/Pass/Latch/Port - Automatically given, Reason by CJ (All can be suffixed with -key.)

Final prizes

TCDP - 30 posts
CJ - 80 posts

Just to clarify: I'm guessing there's no prize for the 4th group? After all, once you have three groups, you automatically have the fourth.

Now, my first guess: Forest / Mountain / Swamp / Plains - All natural features?

4th group is given, but posts for the reasoning.

that group is correct, but wrong reasoning.

After a little bit of research:

Forest, Mountain, Swamp and Plains are four of the five basic lands in MTG Salvation, the fifth being Island. (Well, technically, there are ten, because you also have snow-covered versions of each of those five :P !)

I can't see any more, though. Besides, I should probably leave it to someone else for today.

Correct.

The other 2 groupings are incorrect, though close on groupings the reasons are way off.

This is probably just me being an idiot, but:

Port/Pirate/Pun/Pass - All begin with P

(Well, it's worth a try....)

Sorry CJ, but that grouping is incorrect.

Thought so. I thought I might as well have used a guess that would otherwise have gone to waste, though.

Duck / Rabbit / Pirate / Mouse - all alive?

Correct grouping, wrong reason. Therefore the 4th group is Pun/Latch/Port/Pass.

Wow, and that was just me throwing a guess at the wall :O .

I have absolutely no idea what the final group is, though, so I think I'll wait for either a clue or some inspiration.

I need a clue for the last one as well. I think I have a decent idea of what we are dealing with, but nothing specific. Problem is once you post the clue I bet CJ beats me to it. But, that's part of the game.

Well, I'm planning to head to bed soon, so maybe you have a chance :P .

I don't see any connection between latches and puns, so I'm guessing this one has something to do with the words themselves. I can't figure out what, though...

My first thought was that you could add 'S' to the beginning of each one to make a new word. 'Sport' and 'Spun' certainly fit; 'Slatch' is kinda slangy, and as far as I'm aware, 'Spass' isn't a word at all...

CJ you are on the right track of mind, but look at the end of the words, not the beginning ;).

port/pass/pun/latch- can use one of the other words in this group to form a compound word (passport, portlatch)

So, I guess that's the end of this, and I get to do the next one? (in which case, I'll probably wait until Adam's finished his version)
