Hmm... what do we think? Do TiBB want blood? Jake and Calderyon both scored a point for Fawkes (the only shared answer), so... do they have another 21 points added to their scores?

Fawkes was the last to stand on the scaffold. He asked for forgiveness of the King and state, while keeping up his "crosses and idle ceremonies" (Catholic practices). Weakened by torture and aided by the hangman, Fawkes began to climb the ladder to the noose, but either through jumping to his death or climbing too high so the rope was incorrectly set, he managed to avoid the agony of the latter part of his execution by breaking his neck.

It's a tricky grey area... not known if he actually intended to commit suicide or it was an accident caused through the execution process. I'm on the fence on this.

...I don’t understand why they would have 21 points added...?...is the TA or Pointless..

For Pointless, it has to be correct so you'd get the maximum score for a wrong answer

[Ammi]

...let the answer go I think...but would they not just have had 2 points added..?...I don’t get the 21 point bit when they were the only two who said him...

[Ammi]

...but anyways...no, no arguments I don’t think...it was a really fair answer...either way, it wasn’t Mr Fawkes day that day, it was the death of him...

There were 21 players in the last round, so if anyone got a wrong answer they get 21pts.

Like with the TV show, Pointless, the "wrong" score is 100 because they ask 100 people their questions.

We demand blood! It’s wrong!

I think leave them off, he was on his way to the execution so it caused it indirectly anyway

[Denver]

So I flopped

[Shaun]

Pointless, Ammi, it doesn't matter if he was executed or not for Top Answers it's just a question - with Pointless - of if it's a correct answer or not. I think since he died whilst being prepared for execution (literally in the seconds building up to it), it's a fair answer, but I can see why some would argue it isn't.

[Shaun]

Just to clear things up Ammi, if, for example, I posed a question:

Name a colour

and, in Top Answers, 20 members huffed something questionable and all gave the answer "Mutya Buena", they would still all score 20 points for Top Answers in that question. If they did the same in Pointless, it would be incorrect and they'd score the number of points per participants in that round.

...oh so it’s not how many people have that specific answer...as in 2 points for that answer because bot Jake and Cald gave it..?...

[Ammi]

..I think that I better go before anyone thinks that I’m really, really, really dumb and not just really, really dumb...

Yeah, just 1 point though because it'd be framed from the point of view of "I scored 1 point because 1 other player said the same answer as me". Or, "I scored 7 points with Boris Yeltsin because 7 other members said Boris Yeltsin", etc.

[Ammi]

...I’m still confused....I’ll just plod on...

They would get 2 points if it was a correct answer, you're penalised for giving a wrong answer (21 in this case as there were 21 players)

...okay, yeah...I totally get that now ...it was because he wasn’t actually executed as such...so that’s the only time that the 21 would apply...dohhhh, I get it now....

[Ammi]

...yeah, just let it go I think...it was a fair answer...

[Shaun]

I'm now having an anxiety attack at the idea of 100 TiBB members submitting their answers in this game I'd have to take sick leave

[Shaun]

Yeah don't worry about it lol, I can imagine it's confusing to the uninitiated.

I've edited all Qs into the OP since we're already four pages in today bloody Boris...

[Jessica.]

BLOOD

[James]

Yeah, there are no wrong answers in the Top Answers game.

[Calderyon]

No blood.
