Pub Quiz [Final Round closes Thursday 6pm]

[Kizzy]

I'm so annoyed we didn't send ours in :/ I work really hard every round and it's just... bleh.

How come they didn't get in, were you not online?

[Shaun]

I haven't been online all day... I'd complain about the 2pm deadline but 3 other teams managed it so that's not fair (although 3/10 teams...)

I can't blame Linda either cos she said she wouldn't be on until the evening. :laugh:

[lily.]

I didn't finish work til 4pm.. But our answers were all there in the team room, so idk if Greg can check we haven't edited the post, and accept them as they were, or if the rules are strict regarding deadlines.. :/

[Vanessa]

I didn't send my answers. I didn't know it was a 2 pm deadline. I got it wrong. :bawling:

[lily.]

The 2pm deadline has thrown everyone off by the looks of it lol

[Vanessa]

The 2pm deadline has thrown everyone off by the looks of it lol

Yes. I just assumed it was 8 or 9 pm. :bawling:

[Vanessa]

Excuses Excuses, it's in the thread title and we got an extra half day as this was set on Thursday, jeez I'm turning into a right battleaxe I think its the heat.:joker:

I'm not the only one who got confused. :hmph:

[Cherie]

I'm not the only one who got confused. :hmph:

Shaun confused I don't think so :devil: Anyway it's up to Zee really.

[Vanessa]

Shaun confused I don't think so :devil: Anyway it's up to Zee really.

I meant, i'm not the only one who missed the deadline. Anyway, it happened. I'll be more careful next time.

[Ammi]

..the bubbles were better than these Zee..you can't see anything at all....

..yeah I do appreciate that you have to somehow 'mask' them but it is hard for us as well, I feel like I'm going blind, just trying to decipher pics for days...I really don't know what the answer is Zee...maybe not pic rounds at all, the odd one out one was ok with the clues...

Shaun doesn't stand for nonsense when he does the quiz, they would have been out on their arses! :laugh2:

..let's get this into perspective then we can stop the silliness.. those were my exact posts when I saw the movie round and the pictures had been photoshopped, which at first we didn't think would be possible to make out but as I said, it was very late at the time and we'd worked for hours on them all day and the day before..but actually we got 30 before we had any clues and we got them quite easily..that was the extent of my 'whinging' and I didn't see Niamh or Livia 'whinging' at all....I have nothing else to say about it and most certainly not to you...

[Kizzy]

Did I say 'whinging'?... are you whinging about you thinking I said whinging?
If you have nothing to say to me ammi don't quote me, I was joking about the quiz it was not an attack at you, livia or anyone.

[lily.]

I meant, i'm not the only one who missed the deadline. Anyway, it happened. I'll be more careful next time.

Don't worry about it Vanessa... It's not like you were trying to cheat or anything. Don't feel bad.

[Cherie]

Having said that I was very surprised neither of your teams returned your answers, I'm sure Zee will be lenient.

[Vanessa]

Don't worry about it Vanessa... It's not like you were trying to cheat or anything. Don't feel bad.

I feel so bad. I should have been more careful. Oh well. Nevermind. :(

[lily.]

It's only a pub quiz.. not the end of the world.. it's a bit of fun after all.. some people take it very seriously though lol

[Cherie]

:conf:I think it was just a bit of ribbing Ammi.

[Vanessa]

I agree. :hugesmile:

[Cherie]

It's only a pub quiz.. not the end of the world.. it's a bit of fun after all.. some people take it very seriously though lol

:hmph: I take everything incredibly seriously.

[Kizzy]

It's only a pub quiz.. not the end of the world.. it's a bit of fun after all.. some people take it very seriously though lol

So it seems lily :joker:

[Kazanne]

It's only a pub quiz.. not the end of the world.. it's a bit of fun after all.. some people take it very seriously though lol

It IS only a pub quiz and a bit of fun,but we have to remember someone has taken time to host the quiz and put it together.:hugesmile:

[Cherie]

It IS only a pub quiz and a bit of fun,but we have to remember someone has taken time to host the quiz and put it together.:hugesmile:



yep.

[Vanessa]

Zee is a great host. I'm having so much fun here. :love:

[Kizzy]

Of course, I wasn't trying to downplay zees efforts he's a star :D

[Niamh.]

I'm so annoyed we didn't send ours in :/ I work really hard every round and it's just... bleh.

:( We worked for hours on those answers as well. s0b

How many did you have?

[Shaun]

I think around 20-25, so we wouldn't really be challenging at all still :laugh: but it's still annoying

[Niamh.]

I didn't finish work til 4pm.. But our answers were all there in the team room, so idk if Greg can check we haven't edited the post, and accept them as they were, or if the rules are strict regarding deadlines.. :/

You should ask him

[Niamh.]

I think around 20-25, so we wouldn't really be challenging at all still :laugh: but it's still annoying

You never know, he might let you add them since it was a different time, it seems to have thrown a few people

[Shaun]

Just counted: only 22 (and that's assuming they're all right, I haven't even seen the list of correct answers yet :laugh:)

[Vanessa]

Nevermind, guys. But Zee, no ore 2 pm deadlines. :nono::joker:

[Marcus.]

sorry i have not be around much team

[lily.]

It's okay Niamh. We didn't exactly have 50/50 in that round lol..

I think we might do better in this one. :)

[Z]

Y'all should learn to read :idc:

seeing as this quiz turned into a farce the moment Round 2 hit your screens I might as well just add on all the scores for all the teams that failed to send stuff in; quite a few teams seem to have given up entirely but some of you were working on rounds and just nobody sent it in which is a shame

[lily.]

Thanks Greg.. you're a wee star. xo

[Z]

Right I'm going through the team rooms for those that missed rounds to see what they had before the deadline. Everyone submitted Round 1 and Round 2. Round 3, three teams didn't send anything in - MTV's Jusy and the Happy Turtles, the Weavologist Collective: Armed & Reloaded and the Catfish Investigation Team. The CIT didn't have any replies to the thread for Round 3 or anything thereafter so they are currently considered defunct, so they scored 0/50 for Round 3 and every round thereafter.

Weavologist scored 6 points in Round 3 but did not take part in any rounds thereafter, taking their total to 79 points (I'll post an updated list of scores at the end once I've been through each round with missed scores.)

MTV's Jusy and the Happy Turtles had 25/50 for Round 3.

[Z]

Team B.R.O. scored 10/50 in Round 4; Catfish and Weavologist didn't take part in Round 4.

[Cherie]

I'm polishing up your halo Zee.

[Z]

Happy Turtles had 19/50 for Round 5

B.R.O., Weavologist and Catfish didn't take part in Round 5

[Jake.]

Ah thank you for doing this Greg, helps all teams involved

[Z]

Round 6:

Jungle Cats 8/50
ARMI 19/50

Hoodrats, Happy Turtles, Weavologist, Catfish and B.R.O. didn't take part in this round

[Z]

1st Callidus 221
2nd ARMI 185
3rd Americanos 167
4th MTV's Jusy and the Happy Turtles 154
5th Untouchables 137
6th B.R.O. 109
7th Helen's Hoodrats 103
8th Jungle Cats 99
9th Catfish Investigation 81
10th Weavologist Collective 79


So basically from now on as long as you have some kind of definitive list in your Team Room for this round and the remaining rounds compiled before the deadline and not edited any time after it, I'll add your points on. If Google won't play by the rules then neither will I :bored: :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Round 6:

Jungle Cats 8/50
ARMI 19/50

Hoodrats, Happy Turtles, Weavologist, Catfish and B.R.O. didn't take part in this round

Thanks, Zee ! :amazed::hug:

[Jake.]

Ah Greg you top bloke :D

[Shaun]

thank you :love:

[Shaun]

is this the last round btw?

[Z]

I have another round after this one and I might add on more if people are happy with the filter used on the photos for this round? Are the photos in this one clear enough? 'Cause if so then I'll do that to Round 8's pictures too and then maybe add on another round because despite all the hiccups, I have really enjoyed putting this together and I don't want it to end... :bawling:

[Shaun]

Yeah the photos in this one are a thousand times better than the sketchy ones. :love: I was rather looking forward to a TV/sport/video games round though (just cos we have Dean :laugh:)

[Vanessa]

This game has been AMAZING. I have enjoyed every minute. You did such a great job. Love you, Zee! :love:

[Smithy]

bloody stealing our second place cause you can't read a bloody title http://acidcow.com/engine/data/emoticons/82.gif

[GypsyGoth]

Well I sent our last batch of answers at 1min past 2, so Zee could have discounted them.

[Z]

Don't be so modest Claudia you pub quiz genius

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

[Shaun]

smithy making a fool of himself again

[Livia]

Would it be possible to know definitively how many rounds we have left to go? Just for people who have other commitments... and can we now request rounds to be added based on the strengths of some of our team members, hmmmmmmm?

[Z]

Definitely one more round which will run Tuesday evening - Thursday evening, and then to round things up I could do one last round which could just be a mish mash of topics that I haven't covered yet?

[Z]

Or more... I like putting them together... hahaha

[Livia]

Thanks Zee xx

[Ammi]

..would it be possible to request just one last round after this Zee..?..you don't have to, I know maybe other people want more..it's just that I was only planning for a few rounds of this and it's worked out that I'm doing them all but it's just such a busy time for me at work, I'm struggling a bit with it all...anyway, it's up to you, it's just a request...I have enjoyed it though, it's just taken up a lot of time and it's my busiest time of year...

So this being Round 7, just one last round (Round 8) would be your preference Ammi? :hug: I'll see what others have to say, but don't feel like you've any obligation to be online just to help out for this regardless of how many more rounds there are!

..yeah, obviously it's down to everyone else, what they want..just go with the majority Zee...yeah, I know I don't have to but I can't commit to something and then not see it through..I'd rather not sleep, which is more or less what I'm doing lol...

[Z]

Well what I could do is take the best parts of Round 8 (sneak preview: Animals) and split it into 5 sections, so 10 images per section and have for example Animals, Sport, Video Games, TV programs and something else? Then it's just a general knowledge round and it'll end on Thursday - what do people think?

[Ammi]

..yes, yes..beautiful..:love:..I kew you would come up with the perfect solution...and for all in the name of goodness, you're giving Nathan some sports...HALLELUJAH....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Zee, you are nothing less than perfect....

[Ammi]

..and Dezzy some games as well...we can't forget Dezzirah..:love:...

[Smithy]

omg i'd have been so good at an animals round :bored:

[Niamh.]

Oh and TV programmes for me yay! :love:

[Ammi]

omg i'd have been so good at an animals round :bored:

..there will be some animals for you Smithy..there'll be something for everyone so it should be a good round...

[Ammi]

Oh and TV programmes for me yay! :love:

..yeah definitely, we haven't covered that one yet...

[Niamh.]

..yeah definitely, we haven't covered that one yet...

TV and Film are the only rounds I'm any good at :laugh:

[Ammi]

TV and Film are the only rounds I'm any good at :laugh:

..well I know that's not true at all missy, you've been great at them all..you're just more in your comfort zone with them...

[Livia]

That definitive decision I asked for earlier... I take it that's now been made? Just for the sake of clarity... I can commit to one more round after this one.

[Marc]

Have we won yet?

Zee,Can we have a Gerard Butler section? No ,Grrr,ok then:devil:

[Z]

Definitely settled on doing just one more round running from Tuesday - Thursday but undecided on whether to keep it as it currently stands (Animals) or make it a General Knowledge round (five sections of 10 images from different categories, one of those being Animals) but either way, definitely just one more round. Sorry for any confusion and indecision :laugh:!

[GypsyGoth]

A super round with 4 categories and 200 questions!! Everyone's happy :amazed:

[Smithy]

Greg, I'd go with the General Knowledge idea... that way all the categories not covered thus far can be covered within it. It's a good idea to make Round 8 the final round though, because people can't necessarily commit to longer than that.

But, I've enjoyed it, and a lot of people have too, so if you are happy to do it, you could run a new one starting next week. We can make new teams for it, and you can say at the start exactly how long it will run... maybe have 25 questions per round, and each round only lasting 24 hours.. that way the whole thing could be done in just over a week.. like a mini-pub-quiz..

Just a suggestion... idk what others think of that..

[Marc]

Zee be the strong independant woman that you are and put your foot down.

Do whatever you want to, stop letting selfdoubt get in the way and be a free bitch x

I think if you guys are all happy with the filter I've used to obscure the photos in this round (and the next round) then I'd use that from now on, if I were to ever run a pub quiz again. I think it would only be fair to let someone else have a go if they wanted to do it, but having finally (for now, anyway...) figured out how to get around Google's image search technology, I'd run one again for sure :)

[Niamh.]

You did a really good job and you made it nice and hard as well, pretty much cheat proof :love:

[Z]

Thanks for all the kind comments over the last few pages everyone by the way! It means a lot :)

[lily.]

Greg...I don't think anyone else does want to run this tbh.. If they did they'd have come forward by now.. so carry on doing what you're doing.. we're all liking it..

And, to add to all the nice comments so far..

Nice tits Greg.. fancy a shag?

[/inability to compliment anyone seriously]

You mean you don't really think Zees tits are nice? :shocked:

[lily.]

They're alright, but mine are better.

[Niamh.]

:laugh:

[Z]

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

Are there any clues for this round? :whistle: (I don't necessarily want them LOL, we're doing well enough without them, I just wondered because there've been some for the past few rounds)

[Z]

I wasn't planning on it 'cause people seemed happy with how the images were presented this time around

[Shaun]

Ah that's OK, thought it wouldn't hurt to ask :dazzler:

[Z]

Reminder that Round 7 closes at 5pm tonight. I may be rushed for time tonight so I'll post Round 8 before I do the results for Round 7 so that you get enough time to do the last round; I've got to come back down to work tonight at 8pm so I might have to do the results later on tonight once I'm back!

[Z]

And another reminder to (ideally) PM me with your definitive list of answers or at the very least have a list compiled with your final answers

[lily.]

Ours is compiled in the first post in our thread.. so if we don't manage to PM you before 5pm, just take whatever is on that post as our list.

[Z]

Brilliant :)

[Vanessa]

Sent. Just in time. :spin:

[Z]

Firstly I'm gonna post Round 8, the final round of the pub quiz, then I'm gonna do results for Round 7 'cause I've got to go back down to work at 8 and I've got to factor in dinner as well so I dunno if I'll get the results done before then but we'll see how it goes. Just formatting all the links!

[Z]

Round 8 - General Knowledge

This round will remain open until Thursday 6pm, and is the final round of this pub quiz! The round is split up into 5 sections, with instructions as follows:

1-10: identify the animals by name
11-20: identify the video game character and the franchise they are from (you don't have to be specific, e.g. you could say Master Chief is from the Halo franchise and not name a specific game, if he were one of the answers)
21-30: identify the television program
31-40: identify the sport
41-50: identify the country by its outline, none of them are displayed as they would be on a map but all of them are countries connected to mainland, so none of them are island nations, to give you a helping hand!

1-10: identify the animals by name
11-20: identify the video game character and the franchise they are from (you don't have to be specific, e.g. you could say Master Chief is from the Halo franchise and not name a specific game, if he were one of the answers)
21-30: identify the television program
31-40: identify the sport
41-50: identify the country by its outline, none of them are displayed as they would be on a map but all of them are countries connected to mainland, so none of them are island nations, to give you a helping hand!

Well done Callidus :worship: only won because our mascot left and joined you though :idc: traitorous bitch

[Cherie]

well done all..! and Congrats to Callidus, great effort.

[Z]

So, all there's left to say is a huge thank you to everyone who took part in this pub quiz, especially those of you who stuck it out to the bitter end... there were ups (ten teams signed up!), there were downs (you all Googled the answers! Three teams dropped out completely! A fourth team stopped trying! Round 3 was hastily planned and badly thought out because I didn't know how to overcome the Google reverse image search! The bubbles round! The pencil drawing version of pictures round! Teams not getting their answers in on time and getting frustrated with me! People slagging me off in their team rooms and not knowing I could read it! People slagging me off in their team rooms and knowing I could read it! (**** you ARMI)) and then there were more ups again (running the quiz after I finally figured out a way to beat Google that didn't make it impossible either, i.e. Rounds 7 and 8; the amazing team work and the hilarious answers people gave when they didn't have one) which I'm all very grateful for...

A massive well done to Callidus who showed that a combination of active teamwork from all 5 people and a steely determination to figure out what all the answers were truly pays off in the end - congratulations on the victory guys! The Happy Turtle reign is finally over! Thank you all for sticking with me over the last two weeks, it's been a fun way to pass the time! :)

[Shaun]

ha2 we hate you

but yeah thanks for running this, and finding new ways to beat Google... I'd definitely be interested in running another one again now. :love: I liked the variety too.

On a personal note, the absolute highlight for me came in the final round when I Googled "animals that look like penises" and there was the geoduck. Sweet.

It seems we're all pretty basic when we see something penis-shaped.

I guess this makes us cock-eyed.

We will take our 4th place trophy and go, we can't spend too much time with y'all since we're obviously the real winners, we just didn't wanna get everyone right and show y'all up.

The best team won, well done.

You ran the quiz well Zee, especially after you ran in to problems, you got it done in the end, well done to you.

Sorry i lost interest, i never planned to, but when your putting effort in and some of your team don't bother, then you just think what's the point?

And Josie D'arby was easy
