What Were You Thinking XIV! (Game over)

[StrangerCoug]

This wasn't the next question I had lined up—I had thought of it just now—but I thought it might be a fun one to do now given the holiday is coming up:

I thought I was fucked XD

Also I seriously do not watch movies

[Cheery Dog]

I think I've only watched two of the ones I listed. I just went with ones I know movie quotes exist for, and figured they were old enough. Not actually sure why I thought the godfather was a less than 25 year old movie when I didn't list it though.

[Aureal]

I am not at all surprised that nobody else said Clue, but I just really wanted to include it. XD

I thought about Titanic, but I don't think it's quite old enough? Also is it really a movie you'd say everyone should see, or just one that most people (not including me) have seen for whatever reason?

[Silverclaw]

I thought about Titanic, but I don't think it's quite old enough?

Actually it's 25 right now, 26 in December (I legit just googled this)

[DragonEater70]

I also thought Titanic was 24 years old.

I LOVE Clue and I'm so mad I didn't think of it. I even saw it in theaters a year or two ago when it was out for an anniversary!

Hot take: Titanic is not a good movie

Non-scoring answers

Cop: mallowgeno
Cowboy: VashtaNeurotic
Dinosaur: pablito
Frankenstein's monster: biancospino
Mummy: Cheery Dog
Ninja: Aureal
Werewolf: Cephrir

Irrelevant players

StrangerCoug (18): Ghost, Vampire, Werewolf

Surprisingly for an open-ended question, nobody said both of the top two, so

Actually, mallowgeno did say both of the top two, but there aren't any perfect scores this time. Datisi came the closest with 24.
Even though she benefited from me grouping her wizard answer together with witch, Aureal has the lowest score and drops to level 5.

[StrangerCoug]

Since I grouped Skygazer's answer of Batman together with superhero, he should have six additional points, and everyone who gave the general answer of superhero (the ones who are actually listed) should have one more point. The next update should have the correct scores.

[mallowgeno]

Mallow said both of the top two :3

[StrangerCoug]

Mallow said both of the top two :3

I stand corrected, then.

[Aureal]

I have got to stop overthinking these things. Ghost was literally the first thing that occurred to me, but I do not believe kids really

like

that as a costume, it seems like a cheap/lazy costume option rather than a desired one.

[StrangerCoug]

If I remember right, my mom made me a ghost costume out of a bedsheet one year when I was little. I didn't mind it.

[Aureal]

Sure, I had a sheet-ghost costume too. Doesn't mean I liked it. My Batgirl and wizard (cape repurposed from Batgirl, or was it the other way around?) costumes were much preferred.

[Cheery Dog]

I answered based on where I see the most Halloween costumes - television.

[Merlyn]

I grew up in Canada, so all my costumes had to have a coat shoehorned in. I was...a Winter Witch! An...Ice Powers Ninja!

[Silverclaw]

id say same but like we normally had decent halloweens

I've never seen a tv dressed up

Q18: Are you more of a morning person or a night owl?

Night owl (19):

Aureal, biancospino, Cephrir, Cheery Dog, Datisi, DeasVail, Farren, Haschel Cedricson, Iprobablysuck, JerryArr, mallowgeno, Merlyn, N, pablito, racefan12, Silverclaw, Skygazer, SleepyKrew, VashtaNeurotic

Irrelevant players

Ircher (0): Morning person
StrangerCoug (19): Night owl

I need better binary questions. Or at least a better rule to handle when everyone's tied. Maybe for WWYT XV.

In any event, those are the scores. Everybody drops, as has happened for the third time now:
Cephrir, DeasVail, mallowgeno, pablito, racefan12, Silverclaw, and SleepyKrew drop to level 3.
AniX, Cheery Dog, Haschel Cedricson, Iprobablysuck, Merlyn, N, and VashtaNeurotic drop to level 4.
JerryArr drops to level 5.
Aureal, Farren, biancospino, Datisi, and Skygazer drop to level 6 and enter the danger zone.

Q19: Other than Las Vegas, name three cities that are famous for their casinos.

[Merlyn]

Maybe no one will win lol

[Aureal]

Next binary question: "Should this game end via everyone losing?"

[Silverclaw]

Yes
