Inspired by the Simpson’s feud and **Mully** offering up his scoring tool I figured I’d take a crack at setting up the game. I know this MB has a ton of old school X-philes so I figure this topic would be some nice nostalgic fun. Some of these questions might be tricky for the non-geeks out there, they were tough to come up with.

Standard Mullinator Rules

> [@Mullinator](#):
>
> ## A. **Read all the rules** B. Post your answers before reading the thread C. Post your answers like this:
> 
> 1. Answer
> 2. Answer, etc
> 
> * * *
> 
> Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers.  
> D. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants times the number of duplications. Unique answers earn 0 points.  
> E. The penalty. See rule # 3. If you fail to post answers correctly causing me extra work in the scoring, you get the honor of incurring a penalty. That penalty is 10% of your final point total.

I’m going to close the thread at 50 responses or 5pm CDT Friday, 3/14/08.  
Off we go…

1. Other than Mulder and Scully, name a recurring character.

2. Other than “The Truth Is Out There”, give me an opening tagline you remember.

3. Name one of the “Monster of the Week” Villains.

4. Other than the F.B.I. give a government agency who are mentioned in the show.

5. Name one of _The Lone Gunmen_.

6. Other than the Cigarette Smoking Man, name a member of The Syndicate.

7. Other than Cris Carter, name someone who wrote an episode of the show.

8. List an Episode Title.

9. Name a TV channel which has shown syndicated reruns of the _X-Files_.

10. Just for kicks, pick a common Mulder and Scully costume/prop cliche.

Oops - thought for some reason “?” was a title of an X-Filed ep - turns out I’m thinking of LOST.
