Can you explain the rules before I decide..

what is it

[Tony Montana]

How did the previous game(s) work?

[Niamh.]

Can you explain the rules before I decide..

what is it

So basically it would have maybe 6 rounds, each round would have a theme like for example Movies, I'd ask a series of questions and your goal is to answer with what you think most other people playing will answer (so kind of the opposite of Pointless) eg :

Name a Movie about Boxing

you would then have think about which boxing movie most other players might pick. Lets say there's 10 people in total playing and these were the answers given :

Raging Bull 3
Rocky 6
Creed 1

You would then be awarded the amount of points that your answer received, so if you said Rocky you'd get 6 points. The winner would be the person at the end who got the highest points altogether

Lol silly me. :laugh:

Thanks for the clarification.

[Niamh.]

Not sure if I'll start it this weekend or not, I suppose I could make up a first round for you to do over the weekend but It's a long weekend here and I have lots on so I won't be able to mark them until next week.


Also, people don't have to sign up or anything and you can dip in and out if you like (you probably won't win over all if you don't play each round but you might win a few rounds :p )

What’s the Pointless thing?

[Niamh.]

What’s the Pointless thing?It's the same questions I ask but the aim is guessing a correct answer that know one else picks (for my game they don't actually have to be correct but if they're not you're less likely to score high points)

[Shaun]

Yeah Niamh's edition is "try to say what everyone else is saying" and mine is "try to say what no one else is saying" (but it still has to be correct, you can't just answer "Name a colour" with "DOG LOL X")

[Calderyon]

Yes.

[Kazanne]

Yes I'll have a go

Can we have a trial run over the bank holiday?I can't do it over the weekend but if you want to practice the thread is still stickied in chat and games at the top from the last game and you could go through that, answer the questions and see what you would have scored

Shaun actually did it last time

[Shaun]

I wouldn't mind doing another one, but the only thing is... I'd have to jettison off the Pointless spinoff game, just because doing both at the same time, last time around, was a major headache and I felt a bit stretched and like I wasn't giving the game my all... just because after an hour or two of counting answers twice AND checking they were factually correct for Pointless, I was at the point (mentally) of just being like HERE ARE THE RESULTS NOW SOD OFF I NEED GIN :laugh:

so unless someone wants to take over Pointless, I'll scrap it and just go ahead with a Top Answers game?

[Ammi]

...I could give it a go if you explain your system to me, Shaun...

[Alf]

My suggestion is, scrap Pointless and just do Top answers.

[Alf]

Or another suggestion is, let Ammi do Pointless.

[Ammi]

...:laugh:..I’m honestly fine either way, if it makes it easier to scrap it and just do Pointless...

[Shaun]

...I could give it a go if you explain your system to me, Shaun...

All I did really was keep a Word (or Wordpad, Notepad, etc) file open and at the end of every round, take down everyone's answers for the questions from Top Answers and check if they were right... so what I'd usually do is wait until I had everyone's answers, get the questions in bold, and write a list of every member who took part... for example:

1) Name a song that Ammi danced to when she was arrested last night
Ammi -
Shaun -
Alf -
Niamh -
LeatherTrumpet -
joeysteele -
Kazanne -
Smithy -
Cherie -
MTVN -
James -
Jethro Tull -
The Late Isembard Kingdom Brunel -
Josiah -
ukturtle -
AnnieK -
Kajagoogoo -

2) Name an item that was confiscated from Ammi before she was put in an overnight cell
Ammi -
Shaun -
Alf -
Niamh -
LeatherTrumpet -
joeysteele -
Kazanne -
Smithy -
Cherie -
MTVN -
James -
Jethro Tull -
The Late Isembard Kingdom Brunel -
Josiah -
ukturtle -
AnnieK -
Kajagoogoo -

...and so on

And then obviously I'd have filled my own answers in first before looking at anyone else's, and then filled in the blanks as I opened each PM....

1) Name a song that Ammi danced to when she was arrested last night
Ammi - Last Night a DJ Saved My Life
Shaun - Smack My Bitch Up
Alf - Jump by Van Halen
Niamh - Jump by Girls Aloud
LeatherTrumpet - Something Kinda Ooooh
joeysteele - Beethoven's 5th symphony
Kazanne - Who's That Girl by Eve
Smithy - Losing My Religion
Cherie - Dancing Queen
MTVN - Who Are You? by the Who
James - Kesha's Tik Tok
Jethro Tull - How Many Licks by Lil Kim
The Late Isembard Kingdom Brunel -
Josiah - Who Do You Think You Are
ukturtle - Dancing Queen
AnnieK - Tubthumping
Kajagoogoo - Dancing Queen

And then fact-check it, to see it was actually correct (or technically correct, anyway, depending on your point of view :laugh: enjoy that burden)... and if they're incorrect, there were 17 sets of answers so they score 17pts... and then check for duplicates, so in this instance 3 people said Dancing Queen so they'd score 2pts each... and then poor old Isembard forgot to answer, so he has to score 17 as well, sadly

It's... yeah you can probably see why I want to get rid of hosting it :joker:

[Mitchell]

Now I wanna see Ammi getting arrested whilst singing smack my bitch up :(

[Kate!]

Now I wanna see Ammi getting arrested whilst singing smack my bitch up :(

we'd all rofl to see that.

[Ammi]

...I just got a caution btw, this is misinformation...


...so I’m just reading your OP from the last one and this...

At the end of the round I will take all unique scores and give them "0" points. Everyone else who submits the same answer will incur a point... depending on the number of sharing persons. For example: if, by some atrocity, 9 of you all said "Laos", then you would score 8 points (because 2 people sharing would be 1 point) for that question.

...I’m not completely understanding why Dancing Queen wouldn’t get 3 points as opposed to two but you’ve said similar here so could I just do it that (..for instance, Dancing Queen was said by 7 people so I’ll give those 7 people, 6 points...just take the number the number of people who gave the answer and then remove 1 point...would that work ...?...:laugh:..

[Ammi]

...I’ll do it anyway, if people want it to be part of the game...I’ll wing it and muddle through...I won’t play though, I’ll just fully focus on doing Pointless and trying not to make too many errors...

[Kate!]

Ammi :worship:

[Ammi]

...when you say that you took a note of the Top Answers...?...is that necessary for Pointless, though...?...

[MTVN]

Hope Ammi is alert for any repeats of Niamh's Alofi-gate getting through in Pointless

[Shaun]

Re: the points thing, the "penalty" score is always one less than the number of people who said the same thing, yeah... just because everyone else is scoring 0 if they're pointless, rather than just 1... (otherwise everyone would have 1pt for a unique answer)

...when you say that you took a note of the Top Answers...?...is that necessary for Pointless, though...?...

no because its set of answers are independent from Top Answers :laugh: with the Pointless answers you can only compare it to what everyone said for Pointless... I was having to take a note when I was hosting both games though, yeah, if that's what you mean... I just had a separate word file for each game.

...although maybe the idea of comparing to Top Answers scores as well would be a nice new cruel format :think:

so for example if, in Top Answers, 22 people said "Dancing Queen" and then only 3 people said it for Pointless, it would score 2pts as it is, but 24 if you want to combine the two :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Kajagoogoo and Jethro Tull for ML.

Amazing members.

[Calderyon]

Isembard is okay, I guess.

Bit of a d**k sometimes though.

[Shaun]

I'm coming up with questions now but wanted to ask for a general consensus on something:

When Niamh hosted she would have 15 questions per round...I think because I wanted to make it easier for myself when hosting both games, I reeled it back to 10 per round.

Would TiBB prefer 10 or 15? And also: how many rounds? I've done ten rounds in the past but if you think that's too many I can axe a few (looking at you, "miscellaneous"!)

I've also brought back some old rounds ("food and drink" and "sports") and replaced "video games" and "Big Brother" with them...

[Alf]

I think you should do what you're comfortable with doing. 10 rounds of 10 questions sounds good to me, but I'll take part with whatever you choose to do.

[Niamh.]

10 rounds, 15 questions! But whatever you want [emoji14]

[Denver]

More questions the better

[Shaun]

10 rounds, 15 questions! But whatever you want [emoji14]

I'm fine with doing this, just didn't want to steamroll ahead with it in case people thought that was too much and didn't have the time for it :laugh:

[MTVN]

Personally think 10 suits it a bit better as the turnaround time can be quite tight it just makes it a bit more manageable but I don't have a strong opinion on it

[Shaun]

Yeah I can understand that. Might it be better to have rounds last for three days instead of two, just to maximise the number of people who can take part and make it easier on myself (and Ammi if she's doing Pointless)?

[Ammi]

...yeah I would appreciate the extra day, Shaun...the first round or two might feel a bit muddly until I get used to it so it’ll give me more time to go back and check a few times...(...and hopefully get it right and do your game justice...)....

....I’m looking forward to it...:love:..I might not say that after round 1 so I’ll say it now before I drown myself in Google...

[MTVN]

Yeah I can understand that. Might it be better to have rounds last for three days instead of two, just to maximise the number of people who can take part and make it easier on myself (and Ammi if she's doing Pointless)?

Yeah sounds like a good idea

[Ammi]

...did we have awards for these...could we have Top Answers and Pointless awards...?...

[Alf]

What time's kick off?

[Niamh.]

...did we have awards for these...could we have Top Answers and Pointless awards...?...

I don't think there was but I'm sure we could if someone makes one (or two actually)

[Shaun]

There is one already for Top Answers - MTVN has one :laugh: it's his most recent award on his profile. I didn't design a Pointless one though

I'll give it a go yeah :laugh: I'll just take the template for the old award and stick a new number on it (although it might be easier to just add a general award for all future editions, rather than a new one with a number for each unique game :tongue:)

I've come up with the questions for the TV, film, geography, celebrity, music and food/drink rounds... I just need to do the other four :spin2: I'll try and get this started by the end of the week.

Ahh there wasn't a new award made when Niamh resurrected the game but I made a fuss about wanting one I think so she gave me the award that had been designed for the earlier games which is why it might say its from the first game

I didn't ask for another when I won my second in a row (just to remind everyone of that) in the one you ran as I thought one was another :hee:

[Shaun]

:laugh: you can have 3 if you want, since I think you've won three editions now?

:laugh: you can have 3 if you want, since I think you've won three editions now?

I think it's just the two, the last one Niamh ran and the first one of yours :think:

Once the new award gets added I'll happily have 2 of those :smug:

Awards are good.
