…I don’t really know what to say other than I’m (…hopefully/it’s what I’m aiming for…)…putting together questions that won’t be leaning toward any ‘top answer’ like they always have been before because Pointless has been a sister to Top Answers…and as explained earlier in the thread, that’s why I’m going to try a stand alone game/quiz with more appropriate questions for this game…how people play the game and within the rules, is really their call ….

If you're going for a pointless answer, most people would go for teams like Southend, Torquay or Colchester. Whereas I would go for Manchester, believing nobody else would go for that.

That's the type of game you will get.

This post is also giving you a good type of question to use, if you were struggling for questions.

You may believe I'm being negative, but I'm just being a realist of how I think the game will go. And I'm also helping you out with question ideas at the same time.

Alf is multipurpose

I'll give it a shot.

When does the game start?

[bots]

getting the lowest score is generally something i'm very good at

[In the Drunk Tank]

Yeah I'll play!

[Nicky91]

ooh

yeah i know the concept of Pointless


it's not about what is most known, but what is known by the least number of people



love that game show on BBC tbh, Alexander Armstrong fab host and Richard Osman his historic and knowledge facts and stats are very enjoyable too

…I’ll try to get the thread up and quiz started by the end of the weekend or by the end of Monday at the latest…I have a busy few days up and coming but that’s what I’m aiming/hoping for…

…then you were made for this quiz, we’ll see you there……

[Ammi]

…or this quiz was made for you…I don’t know which way around that is…

No rush Ammi, thanks for running it

[Ammi]

……hopefully it’ll work and be enjoyable…but it is the first as a stand alone so I don’t expect it to have some flaws that need ironing out etc…but we can iron with our irony board and tweak as we go along…

No better woman, looking forward to playing. I think Swan has given us the bug again. I might run a Top Answers after we're finished with Pointless (not straight after though) The problem I was having with that was trying to think of questions I hadn't used already

Always up for pointless, especially when you’re hosting it Ammi

Well I'm up for it.

Thanks for running it Ammi, and good luck with the game.

[Ammi]

…thank you all……I really appreciate your taking part in this ….I think that I probably have enough Pointless questions so I’ll do the OP and introduction post etc as soon as I can and we’ll be good to go…
