Fair enough for owning up, but to cheat twice is a bit ****ey and takes the piss out of Smithy a bit

I appreciate you owning up slim but honestly I don’t know where to go from here
What’s the point of anyone running these games if nobody is going to play it fairly? It’s a bit of a fun on an otherwise quiet big brother forum, is winning really that important? Is this the first round it’s been done or has it been done on other rounds and that’s why certain teams have been doing so well?
:shrug:
It just takes the piss out of me, wastes my time which is precious af atm considering I’m doing 12 hour days at work (this isn’t a poor me poor me story - I just want to emphasise how much effort I put into this so that everyone can have a bit of fun) and yeah, I’m open to suggestions from everyone else but I’m not really sure where we go now.
Mitchell
26-09-2020, 07:46 PM
I understand why you’re so annoyed Smithy, anyone on here who says that they’d be fine with it if they’d put hours and hours into the quiz for back to back cheating, I’d like to finish the quiz, but I completely understand how much effort you’ve put into this quiz and would need to in order to finish it.

I request that you don't cancel this.
But i understand why you would.
P.S I enjoy this round.

Have to say I’d totally understand but be gutted if this got cancelled - it’s great fun and a good distraction from “life” for me of late! Nice distraction for a few hours here and there. :sad:
JerseyWins
26-09-2020, 09:17 PM
There's one more round right? Finishing it would be best. Maybe just dock a certain amount of points from that team. Who knows how many of those answers the team would've gotten anyway so maybe subtract a certain % of the ones Slim got, idk what % would be best

Our Josy teaming up with Liverpool football club to identify the pub quiz Chester would’ve been the crossover of a lifetime :(
I wouldn’t blame Smithy for bringing the entire thing to a close because this is ridiculous now.

26-09-2020, 09:46 PM
I’m confused, are people just expected to just know the answers or not know them or is some research allowed, obviously including people from outside the team is taking it to extreme :laugh: but some googling must be expected :shrug:even on the sly
This reminds me of when my sister in law was in a pub quiz team and would text me to google answers because theywere desperate to to beat a certain team :joker:

26-09-2020, 09:54 PM
Googling has always been allowed. Reverse searching images is not, though, as it takes away all the work of finding the correct answer, and in turn, the quizzing element behind the game.

This is the basics of the game, Googling is fine it’s research in a way but reverse searching isn’t the same bc it takes away the research aspect
Obviously asking people on another forum defeats the entire purpose of the game. So I mean obviously Slim is axed from his team but I’m just curious as to what to do next?
If his team wins is it a hollow victory considering it could have been done for previous rounds? Should the whole team be punished by a point deduction (AGAIN)?
Smithy
26-09-2020, 10:41 PM
This is a *final warning* so to speak, if I suspect the same thing happening in future rounds, I will half scores and remove team members
Actually no, I made it crystal clear here and Slim still decided to carry on, so he is off the team and unfortunately Social Quiztancing’s score for this round will be halved
Smithy
26-09-2020, 10:41 PM
Right seeing as I didn’t even get chance to give out the clues the round will be extended until 10pm tomorrow, I’ll post clues in the morning so you’ll have the day to find them
Smithy
26-09-2020, 10:44 PM
Also when you send your answers don’t do what Cald has done and send me 4 ****ing PMs of different answers as if I don’t have enough to ****ing do than go through four ****ing lists

Calderyon
26-09-2020, 11:55 PM
My final clue request is:
3, 7, 12, 21, 40
...I really don’t know what to say, so I’m going to say very, very little and hold quite a bit of it to myself...
...Slim wasn’t axed or removed or whatever, he made a dignified choice to leave the team and the quiz and he worked very hard...in the last round...we stated what we felt needed to be stated in the privacy of the tearoom and accepted the 10 point deduction as a deterrent.../...regardless of whether we felt that deduction fair or not...so that has no bearing on anything in this round, the two things are not connected at all even though I realise that Slim did speak of both things...but the deterrent was accepted, as I say...so a line was drawn with that and moved on...
...anyways, I’m not sure that it would be about winning as such because it would be hollow and for me personally, I’m not sure that I wanted to win anyway, in fact I didn’t want to...because of the previous round and that our win could and would probably be doubted if it came to be, I would still though, always try my best..when we see ‘game drama’ which we do quite often on the forum...there is always words/phrases like ‘just a game’...and that’s literally true, because it is a game...but it’s also not just a game either because as you’ve said, Smithy...that wouldn’t envelope the hours/work etc in preparing and hosting...and an equal measure of hours/work applied by the teams/everyone taking part...and it’s completely displayed in our tearoom, how hard we’ve all worked and our hours of devotion because that’s the team we are and any quiz host would confirm that...for me it’s not about winning, it’s about teamwork and team spirit...so many reasons that I hoped for this quiz to take place../...hence the thread I made a while ago ...and none of those reasons were ‘winning’ ...(...although we all like the idea of that as well...)...for me personally, other than sleep time and eat time and a few other essential times, I’ve pretty much been a constant log in and doing the quiz...so I’m a bit emotionally exhausted and broken by this in my spirit../how many point deductions for working so endlessly...so I’m just choosing to go and not continue...enough...
...I’ve posted in the tearoom and it’ll be up to my team members if they will continue...
...good luck to them if they do and thank you for hosting this, Smithy...as well as negotiating your home and job moves...it’s very much appreciated and I know that our devoted hard work is as well...
Niamh.

There is no point in carrying on, thanks for running it Smithy and I'm very sorry about all this, you have so much going on already .
Agatha Quizteam will be top of the leader board now Shauns team will have to be penalised too for reverse imaging the round after you gave that final warning
Nicky91
27-09-2020, 07:22 AM
as an outsider to this game, i'd like to come with a option to continue with this pub quiz
if the contestants like doing their research, well then let them do some research pre-round with just knowing the theme, so you have to do extra hard your best at ''homework'' before you get to know what you need to fill in, and during the round no more looking things up
take this under consideration Smithy
...can I just ask...(..and I hope this is okay with everyone else on our team../...if not I’ll go with the wishes of others...)...that none of our scores are posted/or made known...and we just have a zero score or are not mentioned at all etc....because if we did do well with all of our hard work..?...then it would be unfair to have that doubted in any way as being genuine..and heartbreaking with all of our hard work...thank you...

Im on the train back to Lancaster atm, but I’m expected in work tomorrow, I got about as much sympathy from them as Fred and Rose West did. I need to wait for the police to get back to me on when it’s an acceptable time for them to accompany me back to the flat to collect the rest of my belongings.
I’ve been speaking to someone that my flatmate had been ****ing on Thursday and he’s basically been on a meth bender since then which explains his increasingly erratic behaviour over the weekend :conf2:

...a totally terrifying experience, Smithy...you’ll get your stuff back, you have your job so it’s all in place to get another flat when you’re ready, I know the travelling is exhausting but doable...just spend some time in your family home of safety and don’t rush into any decisions beyond that for the moment ...as your head will still be in shock with it all for a while...

I wanted off to focus on my important final year exams, the time off paid dividends.
I encourage you to look back at the thread if you want to see if my team used answers from another source, we all sucked :joker:
It’s all there to see :), we were always performing in the bottom half. If we intended to cheat would we not have used the answers posted on another site?
That scandal happened years ago regardless of what people think, people should move on.

Ok y’all so I should be able to carry this on again this week. I’m back in Lancaster and I’ve quit the job following the absolutely atrocious (lack of) support following everything that happened at the weekend (more has happened since but I won’t bore you all with the details).
So I’ll give you till 10pm tomorrow to finish the geography round and then we’ll move to the final round.
Can Social Quiztancing just let me know what’s happening with their team? They can continue (sans Slim) if they so wish too, or as Niamh (?) I think suggested you can play without having a score, just for the fun of the game
ALSO I don’t think I did clues so if you still need/want them please post them (again) SORRY
Shaun
30-09-2020, 05:15 PM
I was about to say I should take down the post that has the thread with answers in it, but it's already been edited out by Niamh.
I can't remember which clues we originally wanted but just checking the thread of our answers now, we're still stumped on:
7, 11, 17, 19 and 40
...I’m really sorry for the personal stuff you’ve had in your life, Smithy...truly terrifying for you and I hope that things all come together for you soon with job, flat etc...but for the moment we know that you’re in the safety of your family home, which gives you space for it all...
..so far as the quiz...?..we won’t be continuing, we said that...it wasnt Niamh who suggested ‘playing for fun’ anyway but that’s just a by.the by...it was never something we considered...
...I’m just going to bring this post down from earlier because you might not have seen it with all everything you were going through...but (...unless my other team members would prefer something different and I would go with their wishes...)...I hope that you respect it because you know how really hard we’ve worked in every round, you’ve seen that...so it would be unfair to have any doubts about our scoring.../..thank you...
...can I just ask...(..and I hope this is okay with everyone else on our team../...if not I’ll go with the wishes of others...)...that none of our scores are posted/or made known...and we just have a zero score or are not mentioned at all etc....because if we did do well with all of our hard work..?...then it would be unfair to have that doubted in any way as being genuine..and heartbreaking with all of our hard work...thank you...

...I’m still pretty annoyed/hurt/upset/whatever at some things related to everything and many things...but I’ll also continue taking part in it ‘for fun’....Obviously mainly because of the others on my team and it being what they would like to do, plus I did request that this could be hosted again and I’m grateful to you Smithy for agreeing to it...
...there are a few things though and I just have to say them because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to continue ...and they are only a few because so much, I’m not going to say...but if others on my team also want our scores/placing etc as well as carrying on then, these few things...
...with the 10 point deduction for the 2 teams...?...I’m asking if these could be given a reconsideration...(...and not deducted for either teams ...)...because of the reasons that Slim gave in the tearoom...in the very first post of our rooms, it was always pointed out quite openly that some images could be reversed etc...and it was more or less dismissed as any reverse image ones wouldn’t be the correct answer anyway...(...which apparently that answer wasn’t correct...so..)...Nothing else was said beyond that so deducting points as a ‘deterrent’ for the future just doesn’t feel any fairness at all...
...obviously, yeah our scores for the last round will be halved...but because of the warning that was then given, they shouldn’t be the only halved ones because that doesn’t show fairness either...
...then only one more thing...I don’t understand with Niamh taking the images down...they surely would still be able to be found as they were before so that has to be considered as well, surely...and also any answers may have already been noted, which also has to be considered...
...that’s all really....

Agree with this....what Slim did was wrong we all know that but I was shocked really at the way it was revealed, it left all of our team blind sided, shocked and sad. Cheating revealed and condemned by cheating - but it is what it is.
Anyway, until all this happened I was really enjoying the quiz, its only the second time I've played and appreciate the work that obviously goes into it as I wouldn't even know where to start.
...actually, I’m going to say one more thing...well, a request, really...that the deduction of 10 points for both teams to not happen because it was informed in the very first post in our tearoom and the public response was more or less that it didn’t really matter because nothing that could be reversed was correct anyway...(..which as I said, it wasn’t...)...so we goth that one wrong as was stated it would be and that 1 answer can be deducted would be the fair way...
...and also, because it’s left it that, that thing can be found...(...if not already noted etc...)...as it was before, so a thought that that whole geography round be scrapped and it’s all just 4 rounds with it being fair for all still playing...
Smithy
01-10-2020, 09:17 AM
If your team is only playing for fun and isn’t going to have their points posted ammi does the point deduction even really matter anymore?
...I think that it would make it fair for both deductions and also enable it to not be ‘just for fun’...

I’ve got **** loads of person **** to deal with; the posts in here don’t even scrape the surface of what I’ve been through, had to deal with or what I’m STILL dealing with.
This was meant to be a bit of fun, it’s not that ****ing serious but for some reason people on this site don’t seem to be able to just let things go and have to bitch, whinge and moan at every little thing.

I’m not carrying on with the quiz, I’m sorry to the people that played fairly and were enjoying it but it’s too much aggro on top of everything else I have to deal with irl right now.

Please reconsider cancelling this, it would be a shame for all the work you and the contestants have done to go to waste and be the quiz left to a permanent unfinished state.
Maybe just postpone it and continue some other time?

Thank you for running this Smithy and I hope your personal stuff is dealt with soon and you can have that weight off your shoulders :)

damn I was just about to crack on with the clues :skull:
Fair enough tbh! I think this whole thing has been unfortunate and badly timed for Smithy.
I understand a lot of discussion about me is being done behind my back and that's odd - I even said in the thread that I understand if I were to be penalised (even though my search didn't actually find any results, and I didn't note down any of the answers that were revealed in that Liverpool-forum thread). I do think, though, that it is a little bit laughable that so little condemnation was done by your team - Annie, Ammi, Niamh - to the two instances of cheating in your midst but you are basically focusing on retribution towards me.
I consider all 3 of you good members and even friends on here, but the fact that you can't even reach out to me and message me (or reply to my messages) is a little disheartening. Perhaps I am unapproachable. Perhaps I am a big evil shitbag with no redeemable qualities. But I think in the whole gradual process of cheating being exposed in this thread, the idea of "...this is incredibly frustrating for the game-maker" has very much been an after-thought, placed below "did we have fun?" and "did we try?" in your priorities.
I thought that Slim owning up to what happened (and my points deduction) would be a good line to draw under the whole thing but I guess that wasn't possible.

I was actually really annoyed with Slim Shaun. The reversing images thing though I thought was a bit unfair because one of our team had pointed it out to Smithy in Round 1 that some were reversible and Smithy just said that the answers that came up were wrong anyway. When he then got annoyed about it in Round 3 and asked for opinions on what to do you were one of the ones who felt very strongly about not doing it but then admitted you had done it yourself in this round so while yes I was annoyed with Slim for cheating, of course I was, I was also annoyed that it had just been glossed over that you had done the thing that other teams were penalised for in the previous round.
Anyway, I understand you have been having a rough time lately Smithy so I won't say anymore about, i just wanted to respond to Shaun there.
..I truly do hope that things in your life start to resolve soon, Smithy...and that you’re able to enjoy Manchester again in the way that you hoped to..:hug:..
