What Were You Thinking XII! (Game Over)

[Save The Dragons]

Technically Trump still gets salary and he just donates it

[Mjollnir]

Happy Birthday Mjollnir!

Thank you (

+1 point for this round

Not allowed to do that apparently)

[Mjollnir]

Trump isn't even taking a salary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

just lost thanks to fake answers

Well...some might have felt even this may be too much?

[McMenno]

No answer is a wrong answer!

Hey man,

I'm afraid we can't accept Xalxe as an answer; Xalxe is famous only as a Mish Mash legend, and sadly that doesn't really garner celebrity status in the real world (much as it pains me to say it).

Please submit an additional answer, thanks

[Cephrir]

Well if $0 is too much then you're overpaid

[Xalxe]

Good gods was that really the mod response

I'm love the mods

[Xalxe]

Also who on earth would describe me as a legend, precisely

I am notorious at BEST

[Save The Dragons]

Yeah I attempted to submit Trump again then mjollnir then StrangerCoug and none were accepted

Xalxe is our Bibliophile in Chief, coming out with a perfect score of 19 with three answers that are very unlikely to ever be found in the same collection!
Felissan on the other hand is sent home with his library card revoked, having only scored 4 points and a spot next to the basement with DiplomatDC on Level 6.

Save the Dragons failed to submit and earns his second activity strike, he falls to Level 4.
Aronis withdrew from the game via PM.

A real question for old-school nerds here! Some great answers to this too, and it ends in a big shock as it's our reigning champion DeasVail that falls from the top perch! Perhaps he needed to spend more time playing video games instead of kicking ass at What Were You Thinking?

The variety of answers made getting the maximum score hard, McMenno got the closest this time around. He earns the high score and the opportunity to write whatever rude word he wants onto the arcade leaderboard.

DeasVail falls to Level 2, leaving just four players on Level 1 now.
xofelf failed to submit, earning her second activity strike and a fall to Level 3.

Question 19

) Which is worse: knowing too much about something or knowing too little about something?

I've played Donkey Kong on a console, they included a demo of it in Brawl.

I appreciate what you mean, however they were released as separate titles at separate times so I counted them as different games.

I guess it depends on how you interpret those definitions, we generally like to leave a lot of room for interpretation rather than being too heavy handed with modding.

I honestly thought this question would be a closer run thing, but there were still five of you who decided you were comfortable knowing too little about what your fellow players would go for, and all end up falling a Level.

Very importantly, one of those movers is Felissan who falls to Level 7 and therefore out of the game completely. This means that whomever of our final three that are left on Level 1 stays there the longest will be our winner! That is unless of course they fall simultaneously and we all get to keep playing

Our (probable) final three are Cephrir, randomidget and JerryArr!

LlamaFluff just misses out and falls to Level 2.
Xalxe falls to Level 3.
McMenno falls to Level 4.
D3f3nd3r falls to Level 5.
Felissan falls to Level 7 and is out of the game. He can still participate if he wants to but his answers won't count towards scoring.
xofelf has withdrawn.

There was massively too little context to make that question anything but a coinflip

[Mjollnir]

There was massively too little context to make that question anything but a coinflip

I did wonder when the question was presented to me, in fact my answer on our spreadsheet is "(Surely depends on the thing?) I guess too little for more things than not". However I would say that in a game like this having a question that is wide open to interpretation is well within the spirit of it.

[Iprobablysuck]

Us levels two people should collude against the top 3

[McMenno]

it's easy to have too little of something, but if you have too much of something? well, then something

really

has to have gone wrong
