...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]

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?

[Ammi]

...I think that it would make it fair for both deductions and also enable it to not be ‘just for fun’...

[Calderyon]

Thank you for the clues.

[Smithy]

Right I’m sorry guys but I can’t be ****ing arsed with this; I’ve got people PM’ing moaning that Shauns team haven’t been deducted points, I’ve got ammi writing dissertation after dissertation in the thread and I still don’t really know what the **** she wants.

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.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh ok. Can we be told what the scores were?

[Kate!]

Ok Smithy. I understand. Fair enough

[Calderyon]

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?

[Calderyon]

But I understand, I you decide not to continue.

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

[Shaun]

damn I was just about to crack on with the clues

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.

[Shaun]

...sorry that was all a bit

I'm over it and this whole thing was silly and unfortunate

[Kate!]

Shaun. We love you. Xx

[Black Dagger]

You have SOME redeemable qualities... I guess?!

[Babayaro.]

Shaun is an evil shitbag confirmed?

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.

[Ammi]

..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....
