This one is a bit different from CJ's and HoD's walls. I've counted nine different combinations, but only four of them are the main ones. Four of the combinations are worth 20 posts (reasoning 30), while the other 5 are worth 10 posts (15 for reasoning). Furthermore, I'm allowing as many extra combos as possible, so long as you can LOGICALLY prove them (by my opinion). Contest ends whenever people run out of ideas or want to give up. No one members can earn more than 100 posts/points. Good luck! These are hard (at least the four main combos).

I hope I did this right. Naming could be off, but it's at least close enough to be serviceable.

Groupings can be either generic or specific, literal or metaphorical.

Main combo: Go/Jail/Railroad/Waterworks (Monopoly Board) - CJ
Main combo: Storm/Lightning/Rays/Buccaneers (all sports teams in Tampa Bay) - HeroofDarkness
Main Combo: Cheese/Ceramic/Tree/Pumpkins (all can be carved) - HeroofDarkness
Main Combo: Black/Fun/Party/Moment (Rebecca Black) - HeroofDarkness
Combo: Cheese/Fun/Party/Moment (cheese festival) - HeroofDarkness
Combo: Pumpkins/Black/Party/Fun/Buccaneers (Halloween) - CJ
Combo: Black/Magic/Fun/Party (all can be used with magic) - CJ

CJ 40 points
HeroofDarkness 85 points

Well, this one is hard. I do have one idea, though:

Go/Jail/Railroad/Waterworks - all squares on a Monopoly board

It's 2:30am here....time to go to bed, and see whether I have any more ideas tomorrow.

Yes, and that's one of the main ones (probably the easiest one). 50 points for you.

I thought that one would be harder, but I guess not. The others are guaranteed harder since they aren't just literal parts of a whole and require far more thinking (hint hint).

Nope, but the idea of sports is correct. There is more to it however. I don't know how to better give a clue then to say this.

Correct. That's 50 points. It's one of the main ones in the puzzle. I'm surprised you've already got two of them. I thought that one was one of the toughest.

I'm going to slightly change the rules based on points. Since CJ and HeroofDarkness seem to be the ones most involved with the game, and since they can only get 100 points, I'm going to take their 50 and make it 25 instead. Another reason is because I meant for those to be very hard and they're not nearly as hard as I expected, so I'm toning them down.

Point values will also vary depending on clues, but right now CJ and HeroofDarkness are tied at 25 points and can play until they reach 100. Don't forget that there are additional combos aside from the main ones; I'm not going to tell you if all the main ones use the same words in different combos or not. You'll need to think, and probably do research (as I'm assuming HeroofDarkness did with the one he figured out) in order to solve these.

Please take guesses- you never know what combos you could get (not all are literal).

But still, only you and HoD are doing it... but yeah I guess I'm sensitive about it and all.

Do you need clues?

That is a combo, but not the big combo. I'll give you ten points for it. The reasoning is close enough (cheese festival).

As for the big combo, think about the cheese structurally and how it became the way it is.

I don't know if that was a wild guess or not, but it goes to show that you can get points by completely guessing. But that was a legit combo I had written down before you said that.

Here's another clue:

If that's not a giveaway, then I don't know what is...

I actually had buccaneers/black/party/pumpkins for Halloween, but this one works too. It's not a main combo, but is a combo that will get you ten points. As for another clue:

Now, think about a common theme within these two pictures... what has happened in each?

Excellent! Yes. You get another 25 points.

Which leaves the last main combo: black/party/fun/moment

Anyone know the reasoning? You have to think hard for this one! Making it 25 points just for the reasoning.

What do you mean?

There are other combos as well that you can still figure out, though I may stop the contest after this last combo (unless everyone wants to continue but only two have participated).

Black magic / Magic party / Fun magic / Magic moment?

@Adam, I think HoD edited her guess out after deciding it wasn't right.

Yeah, I figured that.

And no, that wasn't it. Think pop culture. I'll give you five points for a valid reasoning though.

Other clues (for multiple combos):

Yes, close enough. It was Rebecca Black in general (as moment indicates My Moment, but this song is more or less in reference to Friday). I'll add 25 points for you.

That concludes all the main combos. There are still additional combos for anyone who is interested in figuring them out (see my last post for clues).

HeroofDarkness is good at this! With three of four main combos, she's won hands down.

1. I pretty much figured that, but believe it or not, I had it as a real combo.

2. Okay, I'm kind of interested now...

3. I'm very surprised you got the sports team one that quickly though.

I grew up in a military/chirstian part of california where sports = best excuse to get drunk and therefore sports news was everywhere. So I recognized the Rays and Buccaneers as Tampa Bay Baseball and Football.

The one I told CJ about over cbox chat was "The KKK" (I swear I'm not racist)

Since CJ's contest is starting, I figured I'd conclude this one by listing all the other combos here. All combos are here:

1.Lightning, Rays, Buccaneers, Storm (Tampa Bay Sports) - HoD
2.fun, moment, black, party (all associated with Rebecca Black) - HoD
3.Cheese, ceramic, pumpkins, tree (all can be carved) - HoD
4.go, jail, railroad, waterworks (Monopoly) - CJ
5.buccaneers, black, party, pumpkins (Halloween) -CJ (with moment instead of buccaneers)
6.rays, storm, waterworks, lightning (all weather) - no one
7.rays, tree, waterworks, go (growth of a tree) - no one
8.buccaneers, black, jail, ceramic (connected to crime and punishment) - no one
9.railroad, moment, tree, go (journey) - no one
10.moment, cheese, fun, party (cheese fest) - HoD

Invented combos (by participating members)
1.black/party/fun/moment (magic as a word used before or after) - founded by CJ
