Below are 10 'Family Fortunes' style questions. You will note that none of these questions have one exact answer; instead there are a number of "correct" answers for each. Your job is to decide what will be the most POPULAR of the answers amongst the good people of Buzzjack.

 

You will score marks for providing the most popular answer, using the following method.

For example, if I was to ask you to name a popular male singer, there are thousands of possible "correct" answers. The basic theory is that if you were to answer Elton John, and so did 11 other members, you would score 11 points. If you were to answer George Michael, and 5 other members did also, you would score 5. And so on.

 

HOWEVER - you cannot score points from your OWN team members. So if I were to answer 'Andorra' to question #2, as did 4 other Waffle members, aswell as 3 Silk Bullets, 2 Quest and 2 Toxic Champagnes, I would only score 7 from the other 3 teams rather than the full 11.

This may seem like an utterly silly and needless complication, but it's to prevent teams from scoring simply by conferring and ensuring they all submit the same answers to score 21 points each time.

 

You ARE free to discuss these in your individual team forums, just note it may not necessarily benefit you score-wise.

 

Once all the scores are totted up, and deductions are made (-10 for each team member who fails to submit answers), the team with the most marks will receive 200 points for the Leaderboard. 2nd place = 100 points, 3rd place = 50 points, 4th place = a sex party with Jack Pilgrim and Theo.

Plus there shall also be 25 points for the team with the highest individual scorer! Whoop.

I will update members who have played in red.

These questions are weird. However, they allow for more potentially amusing answers so I can deal with it.
#3 actually baffles me a bit. There's literally MILLIONS of possible answers. Do you really think anyone is going to come up with the same answers?

I'm quite interested to see how people will go about it. Plus, we can have the requisite LOL at the tard who decides to put Bad Romance/Teenage Dream.

I just don't get HOW you can possibly go about it. Like I said, there's MILLIONS of answers, and no obvious ones. It's far too vague.

I will RUB IT IN YOUR FACE if people actually start scoring decent points on that question, so hush.

Woo. My question was used.

 

Also, I nominate this as the best set of questions EVUR.

Oh and there will be no BST on Sunday 7th November...

SHUSH, I copy-pasted.

 

(Technically there will, we just won't be using it.)

Symphony Hills, is this The Hills or am i being stupid?

Sent my answers in.

 

I quite like this set of questions. :o

 

Regina; Just say Theo for that question. :D Or whatever my character's name was...

Edited by Theo.

Symphony Hills, is this The Hills or am i being stupid?

Search it in the lounge, you will find the topics that are named that way. It's the BJ's own soap opera (which i wasn't even included in :cry: )

It's the award-nominated* soap opera based on Buzzjack which ran from January to March and which we haven't quite gotten around to writing the final episode for. Ho hum.

 

*'Most Shamefully Unfinished Work Due To Flop Moddery (2010)', lost to Eastenders Character Rate

For anyone wanting to accuse Jark of something he's not again, I'm afraid to say Jark was in fact in Symphony Hills.

 

I'm pretty sure he's not a gay icon though, or a historic King of England, so go ahead and nominate him for those. (Y)
