Law

Because of its colonial history, which U.S. state has a civil code that is heavily based on the Napoleonic Code and Spanish legal traditions?

ISO · Post Post #628 (ISO) » Fri Mar 15, 2019 2:36 pm

Hmmm Napoleonic Code would speak to France and the Louisiana territory...but if I'm correct the colony we got from Spain was

Florida

.... so uh.. hope that's it.

Games

In the standard edition of the board game Monopoly, the houses and hotels are what two colors, respectively?

Aurathebirb · Post Post #632 (ISO) » Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:40 pm

The houses are green and the hotels are red!

Vash

ISO · Post Post #634 (ISO) » Sat Mar 16, 2019 12:17 am

EH...

Actors

which I feel not very confident in but is the most strategice piece on the board to take.

Xalxe · Post Post #635 (ISO) » Sat Mar 16, 2019 12:50 am

Actors

What actor played the villainous Cal Hockley in the 1997 film

Titanic

?

ISO · Post Post #636 (ISO) » Sat Mar 16, 2019 9:29 am

Ugh.. It's been a while since I saw Titanic. I think it's

Billy Zane

but I can't be sure.

Xalxe · Post Post #637 (ISO) » Sat Mar 16, 2019 2:39 pm

Well, you may

think

it's Billy Zane, but I

know

that that's correct!

Aura

, you're on defense now.

Aurathebirb · Post Post #638 (ISO) » Sat Mar 16, 2019 4:31 pm

Idk anything about injuries so I'll take explorers which would also be bad to lose

Xalxe · Post Post #639 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:21 am

Alright, remember that this question has two parts and you must get both.

Explorers

What Norwegian explorer was the first person to indisputably reach both the North and South Poles?

Aurathebirb · Post Post #640 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 3:30 am

Aaaah its like... in my brain somewhere? I just can't seem to pull it out. He's like... Oliver? Norman? Sven? I think they named part of Antarctica after him.

I'll guess

Norman Bjornsen

Xalxe · Post Post #641 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 3:35 am

Alas, we were looking for

Roald Amundsen

.

Elements

is on the board now, but I suspect

Vash

doesn't care.

ISO · Post Post #642 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 9:31 am

Ugh i want to try elements but gonna go for the win

injuries

Xalxe · Post Post #643 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:11 pm

Injuries

In humans, an orbital fracture affects which part of the body?

ISO · Post Post #644 (ISO) » Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:30 pm

Pretty sure orbitals are just fancy names for eye sockets, so

eyes

?

Xalxe · Post Post #645 (ISO) » Mon Mar 18, 2019 12:24 am

The eyes have it, you're correct! And that's Tic Tac Dough!

Aura

, thank you so much for playing, we hope to see you again soon.

Vash

, we'll see you in the bonus game, right after These Messages!

Vash

, welcome back to the bonus game.

You've been here once, so you know how it works. Eight squares contain money amounts. Get a total of $1000 and you win that trip to the Big Easy.

One square has the Dragon, who will burn all your cash. You can walk away with your winnings at any time.

What's your first square?

ISO · Post Post #648 (ISO) » Mon Mar 18, 2019 4:36 am

Start with 5

SPORTS TEAMS
It's sports terms, but okay

Also I said a long while ago that I found something unfair about the way the game is played, I reckon I'll just go with saying it now.
Why does the defending 'champion' get to start each game instead of the contender?
I mean, starting a game of tic tac dough DOES give you an advantage... and since the defending champion is better than the new contender more often than not, I think it would be more fair to let the challenging player start the game.
IMO that's partly why pablito and xofelf had some good streaks. And seeing as how the number of waiting players is in double digits, it would be more fun if each of them had a bigger chance to win a game ('bigger' meaning 'less unfair')...

Anyways, good luck lads.

Xalxe,

can you please make a comment on this? I think we all should know what YOU think about this, not me.
