Top Answers Game 9 [Round 10 Results! And the winner is...]

[Calderyon]

Surprised Skyfall wasn't the most popular answer.

But it's not the first one so it's kind of expected at this point.

[MTVN]

How did Bambi not win, the bloody film has his name in it and it's only the most iconic Disney film ever :idc:

[Calderyon]

How did Bambi not win, the bloody film has his name in it and it's only the most iconic Disney film ever :idc:

Cause Bambi Movies were made in 1942 and 2006 (Bambi 2).

Whereas Lion King was made in 1994 and a remake in 2019.

Recent bias.

[Calderyon]

Answers ready, but not locked in and ready to be sent.

[James]

I know right?

Also, I was sure Bird Box would be the Sandra Bullock answer because it's the last one she did, almost went with Speed, never even considered that piece of **** Miss Congeniality :nono: I agonised for ages for the Musicals between Sound of Music and Mary Poppins........i chose poorly :bawling:

I went for Speed as well, did get Sound of Music though :smug:

I will never understand TiBB :laugh:

My first thought was Mary Poppins but I changed it because Sound of Music has the word 'music' in the title and also that film was in the news recently after Christopher Plummer died.

[Niamh.]

My first thought was Mary Poppins but I changed it because Sound of Music has the word 'music' in the title and also that film was in the news recently after Christopher Plummer died.

[Jessica.]

just Cherie and Mitchell since that last post :worry: I have a feeling even if I'd made each round last a week, all of you would wait until 3 hours before the bloody deadline :oh:I would probably leave it too long and never get answers in

[Kate!]

I've had a try at this round but it was a toughie. Sending soon.

The last three rounds should be kinda easy, they're (in order) music, "science and nature" and "miscellaneous" (which is basically questions like Name a day of the week :laugh:)

Round 8 will be open until Tuesday, 4 May (at roughly the same time as this, probably?)

[Alf]

Sam "one week in the job" Allerdyce, also tops Sir Alf.

[Shaun]

yeah Sven winning that question was odd to me... he managed us nearly 20 years ago and didn't really acheive anything remarkable.

I went for Keegan because I thought he was a big enough name to outweigh the recent options (I knew that Capello, Hodgson, McClaren, Allardyce etc. wouldn't win)

[Alf]

Some of these answers?

I reckon people have been sending their pointless answers into you Shaun.

James Hunt?

[Shaun]

It was news to me that Nico Rosberg won a season...my F1 knowledge ended in around 2008 when he was still an up-and-coming nobody :laugh:

[Alf]

I guess people just didn't think of Boxing? By far a more well known sport than badminton. I must admit, Badminton never entered my thoughts for a second.

[Alf]

Also, what was it about the 100m hurdles for the heptathlon question that made it so popular?

I expected tighter scores for that question. Didn't expect a near on landslide.

[Calderyon]

Poor showing here as well.

[Cherie]

How did I do that? :hehe:

[Cherie]

How did I do that? :hehe:

[Ammi]

...I’m not sure that question 14 will work for Pointless....it could be so obscure and very time taking to Google to confirm ...?...is there any guidance you can give me for these like with the sport ones, Shaun...?..

[Ammi]

...well done btw...Cherie, Shaun, Matt, Alf and Jaxie.../...the top 5...:love:..

[MTVN]

I guess people just didn't think of Boxing? By far a more well known sport than badminton. I must admit, Badminton never entered my thoughts for a second.

I think it's just because Badminton is the closest to being a ball sport without actually being one if that makes sense

[Shaun]

...I’m not sure that question 14 will work for Pointless....it could be so obscure and very time taking to Google to confirm ...?...is there any guidance you can give me for these like with the sport ones, Shaun...?..

it's basically a "personal opinion" question so nothing's factually correct, but at the same time nothing is technically wrong either

[Niamh.]

I guess people just didn't think of Boxing? By far a more well known sport than badminton. I must admit, Badminton never entered my thoughts for a second.

I said Boxing too, never even thought of Badminton either, I briefly considered F1 because there was an F1 question on the list

Also, what was it about the 100m hurdles for the heptathlon question that made it so popular?

I expected tighter scores for that question. Didn't expect a near on landslide.

It's first on the list :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I did horrifcally though waa

I did horrifcally though waa

Go for Ireland on 6 Nations by any chance? :p

[Cherie]

Go for Ireland on 6 Nations by any chance? :p

Go for Ireland on 6 Nations by any chance? :pNope I actually did get top in that one [emoji28]

[hijaxers]

How did I do that? :hehe:

Well done Cherie :wavey:

[Calderyon]

I had at least 2-3 answers initially correct, but changed them.

[Cherie]

Well done Cherie :wavey:

Thanks Jax, winning a sport is especially satisfying :laugh: you did well also :love:

[Calderyon]

Answers sent.

But they might change.

[Beso]

I don't understand this game...I'm out

Ly you all though...good luck.

[hijaxers]

Thanks Jax, winning a sport is especially satisfying :laugh: you did well also :love:



Yeah well totally shocked on that one, I really thought i'd be last on that round.

[James]

I thought of Wales first for the Six Nations, then changed to Scotland.

[Niamh.]

I thought of Wales first for the Six Nations, then changed to Scotland.I thought Scotland first then thought Wales are a massive British Rugby team

[Calderyon]

I had Ireland, but changed to Wales, cause they won the last one.

[Calderyon]

I had 4 additional correct initially, but changed them due to over-processing things.

[Ammi]

...bump...

[Shaun]

Ugh brutal, are you sure Bass and snare drum shouldn't fall under drums though? :bawling:

I can't really no, because all the other 10 did say just "drums" and you (and someone else) were too specific :(

[Niamh.]

Surprised I am so high in that round. I had some major fails.



Of course. :facepalm:

I know, I hated that question because I couldn't decide whether most people would go with a pop song or a carol type.........I chose poorly and went with Jingle Bells

[Calderyon]

Medium awful performance there.

Whoever else went for "Wham" for the duo question, then we were right, it's all the rest who were wrong.

Wham > Pet shop boys

Piano came up as a percussion instrument :hmph:

Staffies are one of the most owned dogs in the UK so

[Alf]

Staffies are one of the most owned dogs in the UK soNot as Worldly known as the Saint Bernard.

I associate Staffies with chav gangs.

[Calderyon]

Round 10 will be open until Monday, 10 May (at roughly the same time as this, probably?)

Should probably have bumped this yesterday... I've already received 4 sets of answers, and all of the questions are in the OP though!

This'll be the last edition of the game I host. I'm frankly done being insulted and the fact that staff don't seem to think there's anything wrong with it says pretty much all I needed to hear. This place is not worth any of my effort.

[Calderyon]

You have been a great host, Shaun.

[Mitchell]

You’ve been a brilliant host Shaun, shame that some people have nothing better to do than to harass and attack other members for trying to run a game to entertain people.

[Kate!]

You’ve been a brilliant host Shaun, shame that some people have nothing better to do than to harass and attack other members for trying to run a game to entertain people.

Yes its disgraceful. There's not that many people actively doing stuff for the forum now so you really should be appreciated:love:

Sending my answers to the final round now. Xx

[Alf]

You’ve been a brilliant host Shaun, shame that some people have nothing better to do than to harass and attack other members for trying to run a game to entertain people.Who's been harrasing and attacking Shaun? I've not witnessed that.

[Alf]

Very sensitive adults on this forum.

[Kate!]

Very sensitive adults on this forum.

As a sensitive soul myself I can only say its better than being so thick skinned everything just goes over peoples heads. Xx

[Alf]

There was a post I made in here yesterday were I called the game, "a good game" I don't understand why that has been deleted, what happened?

[Alf]

You’ve been a brilliant host Shaun, shame that some people have nothing better to do than to harass and attack other members for trying to run a game to entertain people."You've been a brilliant host Shaun"

That is Mitchel being a critic and giving an opinion.



"Some of these questions are stupid and always have stipulations"

That is Alf being a critic and giving an opinion.



So I'm guessing what's happening here is

"shut your mouth, your opinion is worthless unless you heap praise on people" am I right?

[Alf]

Are Mitchells critiques on Shaun's running of the game going to be deleted?

[Mitchell]

"You've been a brilliant host Shaun"

First up, my name is Mitchell, not Mitchel.

All game, you seem to have had problems with how the game was run, how there’s stipulations, when that’s the point of the game, saying how it isn’t fair and you wouldn’t play, when there’s nobody to blame for you losing the game, other than yourself.

Shaun and Ammi have put a ridiculous amount of effort into this game, to try and bring some joy to a forum which is mostly occupied by tumbleweed, yet people think it’s acceptable to consistently attack them for all their hard work, don’t like the game? Don’t ****ing play it, simple.

I get that you are playing a character on this forum, but others aren’t and put so much effort into the game, please respect that when deciding what ‘Alf’ is going to say today.

Why didn't nobody come to my defence?

I put a lot into doing those, to try and keep the forum active.

Well you of all people should know not to inflict that on others then.

[Mitchell]

Why do you.believe it's OK for you to try a character assination on me, like you've done in this post, but it's not OK for me to have a little bit of criticism about a game?

Why do you believe it’s OK for you to criticise the hosts of these games, and accuse others of cheating, but it’s not ok for me to call it out?

[Alf]

And for the record, I think Shaun and Ammi have done a great job. And are both very good at what they do, I couldn't do it. I was just giving feedback.

[Alf]

Why do you believe it’s OK for you to criticise the hosts of these games, and accuse others of cheating, but it’s not ok for me to call it out?I asked first.

[Mitchell]

I asked first.

And I played the reverse card, if you don’t feel like you have to answer, then why should I?

[Alf]

And I played the reverse card, if you don’t feel like you have to answer, then why should I?OK, I'll answer your question.

Because feedback is good, it means you can learn and make things even better in the future.

Your turn

[Mitchell]

Anyway, we’re going in circles and derailing the thread, Shaun’s a great host, anyone who is complaining and making him feel like **** is a dick, and here are the questions for round 10, enjoy! X

people can submit these ones whenever, but I won't consider Round 10 "open" until after I've revealed the Round 9 scores anyway... so you've got until next Monday to send these ones in :laugh:

[Ammi]

Oh I'm sure I sent it, I know I did it, so, sorry about that, :shrug::laugh: (just looked ,you are right ,I must have thought ide already sent it, doh ! )

[MTVN]

So Shaun and me would have just needed to avoid having a shocker on the last round to win and we both bottled it lol

Well done James, storming final round :clap2:

And great job again running it Shaun, I think this time was the hardest one I've done in terms of the number of questions where I really had no idea what would come out top

[Calderyon]

Thanks for hosting Shaun. Congrats for the win James.

Awful and despicable showing, Calderyon.

[Nick.]

Well done James! Thank you for hosting Shaun, appreciate all your hard work
