Family Feud (Game over)

[Cheery Dog]

I can see rabbits, it's a popular pet

[RedCoyote]

Rabbit is a great answer.

I don't think it's pig. I don't think dragon either. Maybe a bird of some kind? I don't know what would be a good, popular and generic bird to use though. Unless we just said bird. I was thinking rodents would probably be the route to go (is rabbit a rodent?). I was thinking along the lines of mouse, squirrel, chipmunk, etc... Rabbit is my favorite answer though. doc? McMenno? Did y'all have anything to add? Otherwise I think we should go with rabbit.

[StrangerCoug]

Making a new rule retroactive to the beginning of the match allowing 24 hours before being prodded and then giving the strike 24 hours after the prod. Also prodding RedCoyote.

[RedCoyote]

Okay, let's go with

Rabbit

, please!

[StrangerCoug]

For the steal, let's see rabbit...

Yes Well done!

I have a slight headache, so I don't feel like doing animations. Nevertheless, let's see #8...

...A squirrel! Interesting answer. I don't think that was suggested.

Round 2 soon

Also, I want to make public the apology I gave Haschel Cedricson for what he felt was the unfair application of the new prod rule. It was a change I intended for the beginning of the match, hence the reason for it being retroactive, and I felt it unjust to punish RedCoyote for my laziness. I am sorry for anyone else who feels that way.

BipolarChemist, you have failed me for the last time

Nah, he'll probably fail you again.

[StrangerCoug]

Will be on this once I update Wheel of Fortune.

[StrangerCoug]

OK, we're ready to go again, with xofelf and doctorwho headed to our next faceoff

We surveyed 100 people and the top 7 answers are on the board:

Name something that has become obsolete within the last 10 years.

(Also, I fixed the second image in post #204 so the #8 answer to the last survey question is actually revealed. It was 5 points like the #6 and #7 answers )

[doctorwho]

Pay phones?

[StrangerCoug]

Let's see pay phones...

Not there xofelf?

[RedCoyote]

Oh, I'm trying to remember what I put for this one... pay phones was a good answer though, doc.

I can only think of one answer so far, but I'll keep thinking on it.

[xofelf]

Okay, so like, payphones was my original idea, but I have a followup and I don't know if it sucks because I just realized I did that stupid thing again where I forgot that 2007 was 10 years ago, not 1997. SO, let's go with

Zunes

.

[StrangerCoug]

How about the Zune? Has it become obsolete in the last 10 years?

Not according to this survey

That means we advance to the next ones down. Mitillos, name something that has become obsolete within the last 10 years. Bellaphant, if he doesn't get the #1 answer, it'll be your turn next since this is still for control of the board.

[xofelf]

The survey is wrong. It totally did.

[Mitillos]

Pagers?

Really, the question is ambiguous, at best. Do you mean "things people stopped using in the last decade", or "things whose technology has been surpassed by different things which are now mass produced enough and cheap enough, to not warrant using the earlier things"? Because the real answer to the former is "nothing, because people continue using what they are used to using", and the answer to the latter is "nothing, because the last decade hasn't really seen that sort of development; it's mostly been small improvements to existing things". /rant

[StrangerCoug]

I would tell you if I were psychic, but as it is, the best answer I can give you is "however the survey takers interpreted the question." Going to have to deal with that

Anyway, let's see pagers...

It's there, but it's the lowest-ranked answer. Bellaphant, what say you?

[Bellaphant]

vcrs?

[RedCoyote]

Ohhh, that's a good one. What I love about this game is when someone comes up with something you didn't think of... it's so cool.

[StrangerCoug]

Let's see VCRs...

Number one answer

xofelf, pass or play?

[Mitillos]

Oh, come on, it's been more than a decade since those went the way of the dodo.

[xofelf]

Uh, so about that.... http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/07/ ... tion-ends/

Let me talk to the family about that, I'm not sure if we want this one yet or not.

[Mitillos]

Are you suggesting that they only went obsolete when they stopped being made? Because by that logic, horse-drawn carriages, hourglasses, and typewriters are still not obsolete, and probably never will be, despite the existence of cars, digital clocks, computers, and printers.

[xofelf]

Heavens no, I just wanted to mourn the loss of the last manufacturer all over again.

Also, we're gonna

play

.

[Mitillos]

Awww. Don't be sad for what has been cast into the mists of time. Be happy for what has replaced it, and doesn't eat an average of a tape every couple of months (if you're conscientious about cleaning the damned thing) :Þ

[xofelf]

Idk man, I have 2 working VCRs. I'm fine with them?
