Its shocking Smithy and sorry you've been through it. I assume they have him in custody? Will the Police definitely be there when you go back?

Hope you’re okay and that the police do their job.

...a totally terrifying experience, Smithy...you’ll get your stuff back, you have your job so it’s all in place to get another flat when you’re ready, I know the travelling is exhausting but doable...just spend some time in your family home of safety and don’t rush into any decisions beyond that for the moment ...as your head will still be in shock with it all for a while...

I encourage you to look back at the thread if you want to see if my team used answers from another source, we all sucked

It’s all there to see , we were always performing in the bottom half. If we intended to cheat would we not have used the answers posted on another site?

That scandal happened years ago regardless of what people think, people should move on.

Ok y’all so I should be able to carry this on again this week. I’m back in Lancaster and I’ve quit the job following the absolutely atrocious (lack of) support following everything that happened at the weekend (more has happened since but I won’t bore you all with the details).

So I’ll give you till 10pm tomorrow to finish the geography round and then we’ll move to the final round.

Can Social Quiztancing just let me know what’s happening with their team? They can continue (sans Slim) if they so wish too, or as Niamh (?) I think suggested you can play without having a score, just for the fun of the game

ALSO I don’t think I did clues so if you still need/want them please post them (again) SORRY

I was about to say I should take down the post that has the thread with answers in it, but it's already been edited out by Niamh.

I can't remember which clues we originally wanted but just checking the thread of our answers now, we're still stumped on:

7, 11, 17, 19 and 40

...I’m really sorry for the personal stuff you’ve had in your life, Smithy...truly terrifying for you and I hope that things all come together for you soon with job, flat etc...but for the moment we know that you’re in the safety of your family home, which gives you space for it all...



..so far as the quiz...?..we won’t be continuing, we said that...it wasnt Niamh who suggested ‘playing for fun’ anyway but that’s just a by.the by...it was never something we considered...

...I’m just going to bring this post down from earlier because you might not have seen it with all everything you were going through...but (...unless my other team members would prefer something different and I would go with their wishes...)...I hope that you respect it because you know how really hard we’ve worked in every round, you’ve seen that...so it would be unfair to have any doubts about our scoring.../..thank you...

That job didn’t last long at all. Are you moving back to Manchester in the future or are you done with it now?

Looking forward to the rest of the pub quiz to see what else occurs

Sorry about all the hassle you're having atm Smithy, hope things improve for you soon
...I’m still pretty annoyed/hurt/upset/whatever at some things related to everything and many things...but I’ll also continue taking part in it ‘for fun’....Obviously mainly because of the others on my team and it being what they would like to do, plus I did request that this could be hosted again and I’m grateful to you Smithy for agreeing to it...


...there are a few things though and I just have to say them because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to continue ...and they are only a few because so much, I’m not going to say...but if others on my team also want our scores/placing etc as well as carrying on then, these few things...

...with the 10 point deduction for the 2 teams...?...I’m asking if these could be given a reconsideration...(...and not deducted for either teams ...)...because of the reasons that Slim gave in the tearoom...in the very first post of our rooms, it was always pointed out quite openly that some images could be reversed etc...and it was more or less dismissed as any reverse image ones wouldn’t be the correct answer anyway...(...which apparently that answer wasn’t correct...so..)...Nothing else was said beyond that so deducting points as a ‘deterrent’ for the future just doesn’t feel any fairness at all...

...obviously, yeah our scores for the last round will be halved...but because of the warning that was then given, they shouldn’t be the only halved ones because that doesn’t show fairness either...


...then only one more thing...I don’t understand with Niamh taking the images down...they surely would still be able to be found as they were before so that has to be considered as well, surely...and also any answers may have already been noted, which also has to be considered...

...that’s all really....

Agree with this....what Slim did was wrong we all know that but I was shocked really at the way it was revealed, it left all of our team blind sided, shocked and sad. Cheating revealed and condemned by cheating - but it is what it is.

Anyway, until all this happened I was really enjoying the quiz, its only the second time I've played and appreciate the work that obviously goes into it as I wouldn't even know where to start.
