Then your game is made up as you go along.

Here are some of the pointless rounds you have done

could be mean and dismiss "Jonathan Jacob" as incorrect answer because he was a competition-winner and not a "celebrity" but I'm feeling nice here

whilst 'Beatles VI' and 'Beatles 65' wouldn't technically count, it's also super hard to make a case for why they shouldn't, and at the end of the day, I just don't care x

Technically "Ocean Shield" is an anti-terrorism initiative but it does involve a military organisation (NATO) so it technically might count?

The Guy Fawkes thing...

I'm up for putting the incorrect answer to TiBB here since it's a tricky area; Niue is a "self governing nation in free association with New Zealand" but... technically isn't an independent country recognised by the UN

. Re: the nuclear argument, it involves breaking apart atoms of radioactive materials so will still, technically, run out of materials one day (even if it's far less imminent than fossil fuels).

Li Shang more like Li DAMN!

Anyway I should win this game, I think

If you think about it too technically Aladdin wasn’t a prince either until he married Jasmin

^so he became a prince in the duration of the film, yes

re: that post Jake, take what you want from it. All of those examples are either things that were corrected before the round closed (eg. Smithy's nuclear error), or things that are not black and white. Guy Fawkes died during his execution, Niue is a "semi-independent country", the classification of "studio album" in the 1960s is a grey area.

When it comes to this answer, however, a quick glance over the summary of the film reveals that Li Shang is not a Prince. He is the "son of an army general". If some people say he is, because it's easy for Disney fans to categorise their characters lazily, they are wrong. I asked for a prince and there's really no more debate that I'm willing to listen to on the matter.

I understand it's frustrating that I can't clarify everything in this game but that's because of many reasons:

1) I can't name examples of answers without it influencing people's answers (especially for Top Answers)
2) I can't reply to every PM with corrections because some people like to leave it until 2am of the night it's due
3) I can't read every PM before I count the scores because I'm trying to find the time to answer the questions myself and without taking cues from other people
4) I do not have the time or patience to eliminate every single possible outlier or misinterpretation of a question. The onus is on you, the players, to carefully answer the questions yourselves.

Re: UserSince2005 I never received a PM from you so...

Babe: Pig In The City tho.

But less about Gemma Collins trip to Manchester

I hope round 9 is all about Marc’s sweet 16th tbh

I look forward to "times Adam has made a joke that's actually funny" being a question in the next round

He wished himself a prince before that didn't he but would that count?

I submitted “Prince Ali” rather than “Aladdin” as he made the wish to become a prince

[Jake.]

But yeah idk

There would be 100s of potential pointless answers

Okay.

Im usually one of the first to pm my answers. So it could have been corrected

But im nowhere near the top of the games anyway so I suppose it doesnt mean anything to me anyway. Just a bit irritating that some people you let off and others you dont. But hey its your game.

Technically "Ocean Shield" is an anti-terrorism initiative but it does involve a military organisation (NATO) so it technically might count?

The Guy Fawkes thing...

I'm up for putting the incorrect answer to TiBB here since it's a tricky area; Niue is a "self governing nation in free association with New Zealand" but... technically isn't an independent country recognised by the UN

. Re: the nuclear argument, it involves breaking apart atoms of radioactive materials so will still, technically, run out of materials one day (even if it's far less imminent than fossil fuels).



Technically Technically Technically


Proven that li shang is classed in the disney realm as a prince....Na Im not accepting it as an answer

Thanks shaun

In all honesty Jake, as someone who was so upset with accusations that you made up your 2nd strictly game as you went along, I find it quite disappointing that you would make similar accusations about another host, Shaun takes a lot of time and effort to run this game and has been extremely lenient and fair in the last few rounds, and always replies to me if I ask if I’m allowed an answer.

Have you been told of a money prize the rest of us haven't if you win this?

If not, chill out. It's a forum game.
