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

[Randomnamechange]

There should be a UK/Aus politics question to balance it out.

[Plotinus]

There should be a "villages with fewer than 1000 inhabitants in central europe" question.

off the top of your heads. no outside resources allowed.

[Xalxe]

While I will happily accept question suggestions...that one's not happening, Plotinus.

[Plotinus]

It was mostly a joke

[Xalxe]

(Shhh I'm trying to cover that I had that lined up for Q5)

[Titus]

Oh we are supposed to try and match everyone. Derrrrp.

[Plotinus]

no, you're supposed to not match people. the winner is the one with the least points, not the one with the most.

[SleepyKrew]

only 5?

[Xalxe]

Oh we are supposed to try and match everyone. Derrrrp.

Generally, that helps, but look: I won't tell you how to live your life.

[ActionDan]

no, you're supposed to not match people. the winner is the one with the least points, not the one with the most.

[Plotinus]

The player with the lowest position when one player reaches the highest position (position seven) is the winner. If more than one player is tied for the winning position, those who've reached position seven are out of the game and the rest will continue until there is a clear winner.

What does this mean then?

you need to get as much points as possible. Lowest score raises a level(like T-Bone has). First player to be the only one at the lowest level wins.
If that makes more sense.

[Plotinus]

oh ok.

why is the highest level lower down on the page?

[Radja]

because those in the lead are on the lowest level, I assume?

[Plotinus]

oh

[Plotinus]

this particular mixture of be the lowest by having the highest amount of points and the one who is the highest loses just completely breaks my brain.

it's like when you're staring at your hands trying to remember which one's left and you make an L with both of them and feel embarrassed because you're in your thirties and you still have to make the L to figure it out.

but i'll cope.

[Xalxe]

Imagine level 7 is made of lava.

The player with the lowest score each round moves one step closer to the lava.

When someone falls in the lava, if there is exactly one person who is the farthest away from the pava, the far person wins. Otherwise we keep going until there is one.

The rest of the scores are irrelevant.

[T-Bone]

Wait, what?

[T-Bone]

So I'm losing?

[Xalxe]

Yes.

[T-Bone]

What the fuck I'm making an identical game where the lowest scorer wins...

[Felissan]

Those results were really surprising. Why am I the only one who answered xkcd?
Anyway, my submission for this round: Bayrou, Le Pen, Mélanchon, Cheminade and... Screw that, I can't even answer that question when it's about the last French elections.

[Xalxe]

What the fuck I'm making an identical game where the lowest scorer wins...

Scattergories. The game you're looking for is Scattergories.

[Radja]

as long as other people answer the same, you get points, so if you don't know any, just think what other people who don't know would answer?

[DiplomatDC]

Just realised Axxle is an anagram of Xalxe.... *facepalms*
