Guest Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I don't get deducting points on wrong answers. Part of the fun is that this game doesn't take much effort. Google it and then send the first thing you see. If I made it a quiz or a trivia it would be more complex and I don't want that. I just want it to be "who could get the same answer" to make it simple. Besides, I didn't make the rules of this game. I could alter them if I wanted to, but like I said I don't see the point. We're not guessing "right answers". It also makes for a good laugh every so often.

For example if the question is what's the capital of Brazil or Canada I'd evaluate how many people would know the true answer, how many would Google it and how many would wrongly guess the most prominent City in that nation. So you think we are all dumb? Only berserker is then haha. I’m only stirring. just wanna clarify does question 2 of the new round say European beer or bear?

Guest Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 By the way I just realized I'm missing a question 7. I just updated it and added that in. Sorry about that

Haha, my answers too were based on what i thought most would answer as that's the objective of the game, and i didn't use google on the vast majority of them. I also knew other Indian foods such as masala and tandoori chicken.
Guest Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Anyhow, I don't want to start a new thread yet but these are the potential topics of the next season. Lets have a vote. Entertainment (TV, Music, Video Games, Film, etc.) Football What do we want?

Entertainment; sports; history; geography; culture; nature; etc. - the possibilities are endless!

I'd personally think a theme adds a bigger sense of what's coming but this is what we used to do on the old forum, with occasional seasons with themes.

For me it's the most prominent country in the region but I mostly named it because I thought others would due to the recent exposure in the news.

Most prominent country for me. 27 minutes ago, Berserker said: Traitorous bastard, thought at least you would go with curry as i doubt anyone has called you a tandoori chicken dripping cunt. That's the official theory, i'll go with the alternative of it being a Hindu/Shiva temple at some point like when everyone believed the earth wasn't round except Galileo Galilei. It's fun. It's official fact as well Pretty sure it's always been a mausoleum and home of a tomb for the wife of emperor Shah Jahan. Pretty sure as well its always had Islamic/Muslim links as opposed to Hindu.

Not really, all you hear about in the news nowadays is the Iran crisis or bloody Brexit and our next PM, by the way, the ITV News has just come on and it started off about......... BORIS JOHNSTON AND FUCKING BREXIT!!!!

Wankers. 6 hours ago, Berserker said: It was invented in India though. Dissapointed no-one else chose Israel and Taj Mahal. 6 hours ago, Toinho said: Haha I almost said curry...oh but the Taj Mahal is not a temple? I was thinking Taj Mahal but like you said, I wouldn't have classed it as a temple. Randomly, I was double checking if the Taj Mahal would be classed as a temple so quickly Google'd it and had this as my main result.

That's more of a temple to some than Taj Mahal is to anyone else no doubt
Bluebird Hewitt Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Fuck sake, I'm bloody useless. Will do them now.
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2019 Administrator Posted June 1, 2019 Did @RandoEFC send his answers in?

Guest Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Quick disclaimer: I have counted up the scores, but I am missing 1 answer and that was the question of folklore number 7 which I stupidly forgot to include in the original setup and I didn't see this certain member had forgot to exclude it, so we are going to have to wait until they come online to answer it. Apologies everyone, but I fucked up twice here. The second problem was I didn't elaborate on a specific question, which we will reveal within time. We all have our faults! I'll stay up though. Every other score has been counted up.
