Yeh OK that's a fair decision but as I got them all wrong anyways... it'd only matter for the percentage of players that got an answer wrong which would all rise so it wouldn't have mattered a bit if I was in or if I wasn't in.

I'll see how it goes this next time.

None of my "totally serious" Nicolas Cage related topics speaks to you, Haschel?

I'm going to double down on getting a Nic Cage themed week.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

Waluigi in Super Survivor Bros.

Although I personally named the wrong Mario Tennis game.

Waluigi debuting in Mario Tennis is common knowledge as far as i'm concerned
Show
Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make. While writing the quiz for Week 8, I accidentally forgot to make a copy of the Week 7 form before I overwrote all the questions. So I don't have the full questions to copy-paste. Sorry about that.
Spoiler: Answers the best I can
The Queen of Disco was
DONNA SUMMER
.
The MLS team and the NBC show are named after the
GREAT CHICAGO FIRE
.
The two Towering Inferno stars were
STEVE MCQUEEN and PAUL NEWMAN
.
Good Times was heavily sampled to create
RAPPER'S DELIGHT
.
The Iron Chef Japan theme was the song from the movie
BACKDRAFT
.
The literary sidekick and tour guide was
VIRGIL
.
The disco song that won the Grammys in 2013 was
GET LUCKY

The fire triangle is made up of
FUEL, HEAT, AND OXYGEN
.
The first Dan Brown novel was
ANGELS AND DEMONS
.
I also accepted THE BERNINI MYSTERY
.
The sixth Village Person was a
COWBOY
.
The Arab Spring started in
TUNISIA
.
The amusement park ride was on
CONEY ISLAND
.


So who won?

Next week courtesy of Xof we will be studying Mythical Beasts and Where To Find Them.

Looking at the answers, I would have only got one of those correct anyway, but it would have been ahead of N I guess becasue of money questions.

Did I put Diane Ross as Number 1 or just say Donna Summers because I got the name wrong? I legitimately was pretty sure on that one.

I would never have done so well if I didn't figure out the theme... that changed a lot. Like, I think I got 6 questions right, but without knowing the theme it would be like 3 if I got lucky.

Who's Diane Ross?
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

I think I did well with the Mystery Theme. Not sure what the theme was though.

Same, which makes me think we didn’t do as well as we think we did

I got some of those questions! Probably about the same as usual though

One of these weeks though, I'm gonna get that trophy. Or get 0 questions. Probably more likely the second.

I'm landing the majority of the questions, despite Haschel's wily trivia creation skills, but I'm having trouble placing in the top three cause I don't know what you all know and don't know, so I end up screwing the money questions pretty hard.

The solution is clearly to play more LSGs until you know everyone really well.
