What Were You Thinking X! - Question 31 (Winner?)

[T-Bone]

They are the same person. Xalxe is the Mish-Mash account, Axxle is the mafia account.

[Randomnamechange]

Did not know that

[BipolarChemist]

They are the same person. Xalxe is the Mish-Mash account, Axxle is the mafia account.

Confirming this to be true cuz april fools and all!

[RedCoyote]

" BipolarChemist
skittle without a title? smh lmao"

lol

Also love this question but only because I eat, sleep and breath US politics. Also I forget how the scoring in this game can be a bit confusing if you are not familiar with it. Also let's not pick on Xalxe for having biases 2 questions deep, plz. We'll see how he does over the next few weeks.

[xofelf]

Can I just pick on him for other reasons?

Fine, we'll go with something more universal.

Question 3

) Name 3 things people are afraid of.

(expired on 2016-04-04 08:19:00)

[ActionDan]

Either drench doesn't understand how to play or is a complete show off.

[Cheery Dog]

Given he only submitted 3, I think he was showing off

[Xalxe]

Given he only submitted 3, I think he was showing off

He submitted five, two were just also submitted by another player (de la Fuente & Walker), which, why

[Felissan]

I don't see how Mickey Mouse and Xalxe were relevant answers but not Trump/Lord Trumpington/Doctor Trumpovsky/Dark Trump/Clinton.

[Xalxe]

answers must be actual attempts to fit the category -- none of this giving of answers that don't fit just for laughs or to match others outside of the category.

Friendly reminder!

(stop submitting my name as something people are afraid of, it's auto-non-scoring)

PEDIT: Mickey Mouse and Xalxe earned exactly the same number of points as Trump et al, so.

[Plotinus]

if two people word an answer differently but the answers are synonyms, how is that counted?

[Felissan]

I have zero knowledge of American politics, how were you expecting me to give a single correct answer?

[Plotinus]

People said we could visit the election thread so i did. and when i mistook capitalised words for people's names xalxe pointed that out.

[Xalxe]

if two people word an answer differently but the answers are synonyms, how is that counted?

Depends:

1) If someone submits both words, then they have to be scored separately.
2) If not, it's my judgement. Carousel and Merry-Go-Round would be scored together, for example.

[Felissan]

[Xalxe]

Nothing says your answer has to be correct; several scoring answers are not actually people who have run for president this year.

[Felissan]

What I meant by "correct" was anything that would count in the category. I couldn't get a single point with what I know, so I gave 5 dumb answers just so I wouldn't get a strike. But it feels wrong to count them as irrelevant and not even show them when DeasVeil's non-scoring ones were kept.

[SleepyKrew]

just Rick de la Fuente (who???)
stop lying xalxe what are you hiding xalxe

Santorum.

[SleepyKrew]

he ran

[Xalxe]

sounds fake but okay

[Save The Dragons]

There's a Rocky de la Fuente running as a Democrat. He's on most but not all of the ballots for the primaries/caucuses and has done pretty poorly so far.

Yeah, um only two of my answers werec actual serious attempts.
