Pointless game - Round 10 Miscellaneous answers - CHERIE WINNER!!!…

[Cherie]

...ok, so let’s look at these one by one...

...Puss in Boots...?..as a Disney character, it was a 1922 movie and wasn’t any type of spin off given their own movie...this is the character...

https://cinemacats.com/puss-in-boots-1922/


...so Puss in Boots has had his own movie obviously but he isn’t a Disney character so isn’t technically correct...but...because he has a movie to be released in 2024, which is Disney...?...it’s describing him on the Disney wiki as an orange cat and the 1922 didn’t even consider orange as a colour so....

...it’s misleading so that answer was given in good faith and will be accepted in good faith...


thanks Ammi there was definately a more recent Puss in Boots released 2011 which was a spin off with Antonio Banderas voicing the cat again

I think you have done the right thing, at this stage it is more or less anyones game especially if there is a double points round as per usual

where did Girth spring from? :laugh:

[Niamh.]

I was thinking as well another rule that might help the host to be able to say an answer is wrong and not totally rule someone out of the running is, if the worst score for the question was 3 then you could give the person who answered wrong a 4 so one point more than the highest score, if you know what i mean?

[Ammi]

...I do that if someone doesn’t complete a round...I take the highest points for each question and add 1...if it’s a total 0 point question then I’ll put that person down as a 1 point...

[Ammi]

....thank you, Alf...I appreciate your thoughtfulness...:hug:...we won’t have a break if it’s ok with everyone as I’d like to get started on ML as well as soon as possible also...

[Shaun]

not to pile on but GiRTh and I said the same answer for the Marlon Brando film (sorry Girth for pointing this out :tongue:)

[Niamh.]

...I do that if someone doesn’t complete a round...I take the highest points for each question and add 1...if it’s a total 0 point question then I’ll put that person down as a 1 point...

Yeah but I mean just for if someone does send their answers in but happens to answer one question with a wrong answer

[Ammi]

not to pile on but GiRTh and I said the same answer for the Marlon Brando film (sorry Girth for pointing this out :tongue:)

...so you both did, that’s one I hadn’t noticed ...I’ll change that now me dear...:love:..

[Ammi]

...hopefully there are no more missed ones...apologies...

[Strictly Jake]

Wow I went a bit down the ranking from that round but that said it's all still to play for and very close

[Cherie]

Wow I went a bit down the ranking from that round but that said it's all still to play for and very close

I don't know what it is about you and me but we do seem to go for the same answers from a long list :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Thanks Ammi, this will be horrendous I fear

[Ammi]

...I have answers from Shaun, Calderon, Niamh, Denver, Jake and Parmnion...thank you...:love:...

...the deadline is midnight tonight to slam dunk your answers into a PM...

[Ammi]

...we have a new late joining player in the Pointless District...it’ll be interesting to see if that shakes up the leadership board...

[Denver]

...we have a new late joining player in the Pointless District...it’ll be interesting to see if that shakes up the leadership board...

I think new players should get an instant points deduction as its not fair to come in on round 7 and get pointless answer for the remainder and win

[Niamh.]

I think new players should get an instant points deduction as its not fair to come in on round 7 and get pointless answer for the remainder and win

Will they'd automatically be top of the leader because they wouldn't have picked up any points for 6 rounds :laugh: I'm sure Ammi has thought of that already though :p

[Calderyon]

I think new players should get an instant points deduction as its not fair to come in on round 7 and get pointless answer for the remainder and win

You mean points penalty/increase?

[Ammi]

...I have thought about that and there will be points recorded for the previous rounds...i guess it’ll be a similar notion to anyone who begins the game and then maybe doesn’t submit for one or so rounds etc...?..


..maybe I’m over complicating my own thoughts but that wasn’t the potentially tricky bit for me...so this is the leaderboard as it stands now../...it’s pretty tight, yeah...?...


Mitchell - 24
Cherie - 26

Denver - 35
Alf - 36
Calderon - 37
Strictly Jake - 37
Kaz - 43

...if answers begin to duplicate from this round directly with the new player, it could impact the places for others so I’m hoping everyone would be ok with that, even if the player didn’t play the whole rest of the rounds left...hope that makes sense...

its very tight and so few answers to some of these questions could change everything :worry:

[Ammi]

its very tight and so few answers to some of these questions could change everything :worry:

...yeah that’s the thing...so for instance, I’ll take you and Niamh because you’re only 1 point apart so that makes it easier...if the new player matches answers with you for this round...?...then potentially that could increase your total by one point per every duplicate match/depending on whether anyone else has also matched...if that player’s answers matched with Niamh’s answers less times that they did with yours, that could put Niamh ahead of you...?...which obviously is the name of the Pointless game each round...but with a new player to the game, which is a more unusual thing and not knowing how many rounds they’ll play...(...because anyone can obviously stop playing at any time...)...it’s just knowing that everyone is ok with that, while being fair to the new player to be inclusive...and also being fair to the players...


...maybe I’m over thinking and over complicating...

[Ammi]

..I’ll be back later so I’ll see what thoughts there are...:love:..

[Beso]

Dont include my answers in the game ammi, just let me know how pointless I was.

[Mitchell]

What Shaun used to do, is new players would come in at the highest scorers score (unless I’m mistaken) so Parm would come in at 66 or whatever

[Niamh.]

What Shaun used to do, is new players would come in at the highest scorers score (unless I’m mistaken) so Parm would come in at 66 or whatever

That seems fair, I'd be fine with that anyway

[Ammi]

...I think Parm’s score and how it’s done is not the thing, I’m sure he’ll be totally fine with any point penalties etc...it’s more that Pointless in itself as a game is based on point penalties and some could apply to others who may duplicate with him on answers that would be considered more crucial...?...

[Ammi]

Dont include my answers in the game ammi, just let me know how pointless I was.

...I want to be fair to you as well as you’ve taken the time to do the round so I’ll leave it with you all as I have to go out now...

Meh I'm fine with it anyway

[Cherie]

Meh I'm fine with it anyway

Same, might not speak to him ever again though which might be a blessing to him :joker:

[Kate!]

I cant do this round its too hard:bawling:

I'll join back in on the next one.

[Kazanne]

Ive sent mine in Ammi.

[Ammi]

...you did, Kaz...and so did Cherie...:love:...

...if Kate is sitting out this round then just waiting for GiRTh, Alf and Black Dagger and Luke...:love:...

[Black Dagger]

I've sent. I'm not missing another round for my slaggy antics.

[Black Dagger]

Although I do think I'm seeing him tomorrow but he's BEING AN ARSE

[Ammi]

...never settle for less than you deserve, Lucas...:love:...

[Kate!]

...you did, Kaz...and so did Cherie...:love:...

...if Kate is sitting out this round then just waiting for GiRTh, Alf and Black Dagger and Luke...:love:...

I've had a try Ammi. I'll send my answers ASAP.

[Ammi]

...so when the scores for this round show..?...I’m only putting the penalty points gained for duplicated answers...if there is no score there then it means 0 penalty points because it was a unique answer...

[Ammi]

...so I think that I might have made an error in Kate’s score for her missed round earlier in the game ...I misinterpreted Shaun’s direction...I apologise for that and I’ve made some adjustments to the total scores...plus I’m accounting for Lucas’ missed round...so I’m really hoping I have this correct...but, we’ll see...It’s been on my mind so I wanted to adjust before I went into the scores for this round...this should be the leaderboard as it stands going into the Sport round...

[Alf]

Never heard of half those Dutch players, so hardly legends. I know a bit or two about legendary players.

Also, the golf club question. People have just put wedge. But what kind of wedge, I'm not that knowledgeable about golf, but I know there are different kinds of wedges, such as Pitching wedge, sand wedge.

We had clarification though

There are 6 valid options for the golf club

[Shaun]

Yeah a wedge would be a "type" of golf club, and then there are "types" of wedge :laugh: so I guess all types of wedge were considered as the same answer ("Wedge") by Ammi

1) The Bee Gees song has to have been released as a single
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Gees_discography#Singles

3) again, the Miley song has to have been released as a single
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miley_Cyrus_discography#Singles

7) Fleetwood Mac has contained, at some point: *Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, Mike Campbell, Neil Finn*, Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Brunning, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, Bob Weston, Dave Walker, Lindsey Buckingham, Billy Burnette, Rick Vito, Bekka Bramlett, Dave Mason... any of these are acceptable answers.

9) For Eurovision winners, the possible valid answers are (in order, from the year 2000): Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Turkey, Ukraine, Greece, Finland, Serbia, Russia, Norway, Germany, Azerbaijan, Sweden, Austria, Portugal, Israel and the Netherlands

10) It has to be a studio or a soundtrack album - one of these would be an only valid answer The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way, ARTPOP, Joanne, Chromatica, Cheek to Cheek or the Star is Born soundtrack. (Unless Smithy says otherwise..:laugh:)...

15) Must be the performing artist of an official Bond title song
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_music#Title_themes

[Beso]

We had clarification though

There are 6 valid options for the golf club

Was chipper one of them:joker:

[Mitchell]

Does 3 have to be called ‘poison’ or can it have the word poison in it?

[Shaun]

I think it'd have to be called "Poison" or something like "Poison (You With a Jar of ****ing Arsenic, You Bitch)"... the emphasis would be on the word itself, standing alone

so no "Poison Arrow" or "Poison Prince" or "Poison Girl" etc :tongue:

[Ammi]

...there are quite a few artist options who have released a title ‘Poison’ so we’ll go with that as being the full acceptable title...

[Ammi]

...I’ve only received from Shaun and Niamh so...a bank holiday weekend bump...:love:..

…good morning, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight…:love:..

[Strictly Jake]

Yes I remained in the top 5! I also would have got entirely pointless round if it wasn't for Kate also saying children's unit. Damn you Kate!!!

[Niamh.]

Well done Mitchell, some very creative answers there :laugh: Thanks for hosting Ammi :lovedup:

James will have to upload that award before it can be added

Oh and of course will done Cherie :love:

[hijaxers]

Well done Cherie :clap1::clap1:

[Mitchell]

Congratulations Cherie, congratulations Ammi and commiserations to Helen.

[GiRTh]

Well done Cherie. Close in the end.

I thought I answered 'spiders' to the phobia?

[Ammi]

…oh apologies, GiRTh…I’ve put spiders next to Alf instead, as you can see…I filled in the wrong space on the template…I’ll change that now, so sorry…

[Kazanne]

Well done Cherie, really enjoyed this game.

Whats the difference between dinner and supper? If the quiz master states they are the same thing then I win dont I? :shrug:

[Ammi]

No problem

Whats the difference between dinner and supper? If the quiz master states they are the same thing then I win dont I? :shrug:

…well, that’s how Pointless doesn’t always work for me with using the same questions …I probably should have said that as a guidance at the beginning so…/…my bad, it’s been a learning curve for me…all I can say is my thought process in that…as Shaun said, there is generally 3 meals a day so maybe technically, breakfast, lunch and dinner…?…but some people may have that in between meal of breakfast and lunch/brunch…so that would create a different meal …then someone could have an afternoon tea, that’s been a very popular/trendy thing of recent times…so then they wouldn’t necessarily have dinner as such, which would be a main meal…but maybe a small snack supper instead as they’d had that larger tea…

[Ammi]

…it’s a call I made with thought and I felt that dinner would be a definite main meal, while supper could be more of a lighter meal but one of a person’s ‘3 meals per day’….

[GiRTh]

I see. :laugh: I was just messing Brunch is just as ambiguous an answer.

[Ammi]

…from a personal point of view as a host but maybe not the same for players….?..I liked the guidance that limited answers…(…or just having it as an independent game with questions that do have limited answers..)…just because it makes it tighter with duplicate answers and doesn’t open up so much to endless Google possibilities to find the most ‘obscure’…there would always be limited possibilities on an actual Pointless game board…


…but yeah, I did give thought to Cherie’s supper…as to whether it was actually dinner…but then, if she’d had an afternoon tea, then it could be something different from dinner…:laugh:…

[Niamh.]

Well I would have thought Supper was a lighter later meal but then I wasn't sure the way the question was worded if we were only supposed to choose from the 3 main meals Breakfast, lunch & dinner. But like you said Ammi, some questions (or a lot of them) are just too open ended to work properly for Pointless. I think the game would work better with a different, more tight set of questions with only a certain amount of correct answers

[Ammi]

…dinner and tea are different meals entirely as well…(…IMO…)…not the same meal under a different name…


….because (for instance…)…if a child were to have a hot school meal at lunchtime…their parents might only give them a sandwich meal later in the day…and for me a sandwich meal couldn’t be described as a dinner because dinner is a main meal…so it’s not just a different descriptive, it’s a different meal….

…for me personally…I found it more fun doing the tighter questions and seeing what ‘the most popular’ pointless answer was…which I think is more inline with the TV game …but tbh, I haven’t actually watched a whole episode I don’t think…

Plus they're regional terms as well. I would never use the term Tea but I would have just thought it was a different word for dinner, plus school kids here don't have school dinners anyway, it's all packed lunches

Yeah, definitely more in line with the programme, there's always only a certain amount of correct answers.

I personally think the 3 meals are Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, but I know many people who call them Breakfast, Dinner and Tea, so it depends where you’re from really, but it is one of the main three meals elsewhere in the country

[Calderyon]

You have been a great host, Ammi. Well done.

[Calderyon]

Congrats Cherie.


My own performance was Awful to Medium awful.

[Ammi]

…:love:…

[Kate!]

Yes I remained in the top 5! I also would have got entirely pointless round if it wasn't for Kate also saying children's unit. Damn you Kate!!!

I'm soooo sorry! :love: Just to be a pain I would have classed Maternity and Children's ward as two separate departments??

[Kate!]

congratulations to Cherie ftw. Also to Mitchell for a pointless round.

Thank you Ammi. Hostess with the mostest. You did such a great job xx

[Shaun]

Congratulations Cherie!

Loved the Helen the receptionist Saga, Mitchell :love:

Ammi, you did a fantastic job and are really overselling how much I helped :laugh: I know first-hand how long this takes to put together and fact-check, and you did well with it :love:

I agree with Niamh, that future editions of the game should probably have different questions... not only for the "concrete definitions of a correct answer" element, but also so it doesn't overlap with TA and people are fearful of "spoiling" an answer for that later on :think:

[Ammi]

…A quick guide by Helen the receptionist….

[Cherie]
