Overview
The idea for this game is very simple, but I have added more features which make it complex. I'm going to post a screenshot on this thread once every two or three weeks. The screenshot will be taken from an episode of Thomas and Friends, but will only be of part of the frame. You guys have to tell me which episode it is from! The first person to guess correctly wins a certain amount of points. You can use your points to buy prizes, which are listed in the prize section.
Clues
Each week after I post the screenshot, I will give a clue. This will make it easier to find the screenshot's episode of origin. I might say which season it is in, or what location it is, or maybe something more obscure like "this screenshot comes from an episode where the title is four words". However, each clue I give will decrease the amount of points you earn for guessing correctly. So if a correct guess was initially worth 6 points, after 1 clue it might be worth 4, and after another 2, or whatever. The amount of points I take away will depend on how generous the clue is.
Prizes
As mentioned before, you can buy prizes with the points you earn. I'll update this list with new prizes at certain intervals, and will post to let you know when that's happened! When you buy a prize, the cost of that prize is taken away from the amount of points you have. You cannot buy 2+ of the same prize at the same time.
Shameless Plug:On my channel, the Thomas Cynic (which has over 7.6K subscribers at the time of writing and is growing very fast), I will plug your channel, or your art, or whatever Thomas-related content you want with a link to it on my community tab. Cost: 8 points
Oh the Indignity: I will change my SiF profile picture to a picture of your choice for one week. It can be whatever you choose, as long as it obeys the site's rules and is free of bad language. Cost: 3 points
Social Interaction: I will follow you on this site and add you on my discord DMs - you can talk to me about whatever, as long as you don't bother me 24/7 and follow the rules of SiF/discord. If you're rude or offensive, I will block you and report you if necessary. Cost: 5 points
Voice Acting Help: I will provide ONE voice for any fan project which you can provide me with lines for. You must credit me if you release the project on YouTube. Cost: Every point you pay gets you 8 lines
The Ultimate Pain: I will watch Misty Island Rescue all the way through, and I will record my screen and maybe add some commentary to prove I have done it. If you want to inflict pain, this is your prize. Cost: 25 points
Additional Rules
1) The first person to guess the correct answer gets the points, no questions asked.
2) You can only guess one episode per clue given. So you can guess once after the photo is posted, once after clue 1, once after clue 2, and so on. Note that you don't have to guess right the way through, you can make your first guess after clue 2, for example. You may only guess one episode each time you make a guess.
3) You are not allowed to ally with any other players - no promising to split points or any of that.
PLEASE READ THE ABOVE RULES VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE PLAYING, THIS IS A SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICTATED GAME THAN OTHERS ON THE FORUM

It is worth 4 points to begin with, and there are three clues. Each clue given will deduct 1 point from the reward. The first clue will be given in about a week (give or take a day).
