Doctor Who (9):
Cephrir, Cheery Dog, Datisi, DeasVail, DragonEater70, Farren, Merlyn, racefan12, Silverclaw
Squid Game (7):

Bluey (2):
Cheery Dog, N

Aureal, pablito
Dragon Ball (2):
biancospino, DragonEater70
The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show (2):
Ariel, Merlyn
Monty Python('s Flying Circus) (2):
Aureal, Silverclaw

Non-scoring answers

Black Mirror: mallowgeno
The Bridge (2011): biancospino
Britain's Got Talent: DragonEater70
Derry Girls: Skygazer
Fawlty Towers: Cephrir
House of Cards: Cephrir
Peaky Blinders: SleepyKrew
QI: N
Red Dwarf: Farren
Taskmaster: JerryArr
Total Drama Island: Iprobablysuck
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: JerryArr
Whose Line Is It Anyway?: racefan12
Winx Club: biancospino
The X Factor: Ariel

Irrelevant players

StrangerCoug (4): Pokemon, Bluey, Monty Python's Flying Circus

British shows dominated the responses I got, but we also had a South Korean drama make the top three, and shows from Australia, the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden are also represented among the scoring answers.

A perfect score on an open-ended question is continuing to elude us this game, and this time the highest score fell five points short of perfect. It
was
, however, achieved by two people this time around: Cheery Dog and Merlyn.
biancospino has the lowest score and joins our newcomers—Datisi and DragonEaters70—on Level 3.

(Not sure how the scores for question 3 turned yellow; ignore it :P )

I couldn't decide which of the reality tv shows I wanted as my third answer, so I put in Bluey, I see if I'd left genius there I'd have had sole top scoring.

Q6: Do you see yourself as an introvert or an extrovert?

Introvert (23):
AniX, Ariel, Aureal, biancospino, Cephrir, Cheery Dog, Datisi, DeasVail, DragonEater70, Farren, Haschel Cedricson, Iprobablysuck, JerryArr, mallowgeno, Merlyn, N, pablito, racefan12, Save The Dragons, Silverclaw, Skygazer, SleepyKrew, VashtaNeurotic

Irrelevant players

StrangerCoug (23): Introvert

Here we go again :V Last binary question, we had a tie; this time around, we have unanimity. Introverts rock, but we all know what happens by now:

AniX, Cephrir, Cheery Dog, DeasVail, Farren, Haschel Cedricson, mallowgeno, Merlyn, N, pablito, racefan12, Save The Dragons, Silverclaw, Skygazer, and SleepyKrew all drop to Level 2.
Aureal, Iprobablysuck, JerryArr, VashtaNeurotic drop to Level 3.
Ariel, biancospino, Datisi, and DragonEaters70 drop to Level 4.

This might be a quick game here at WWYT XIV.

Q7: Name three superpowers that you wish you had.

Flight (17):
AniX, Ariel, Cephrir, Cheery Dog, Datisi, DeasVail, DragonEater70, Haschel Cedricon, JerryArr, mallowgeno, Merlyn, N, pablito, Silverclaw, Skygazer, SleepyKrew, VashtaNeurotic
Invisibility (10):
biancospino, CheeryDog, Datisi, DeasVail, Haschel Cedricson, Iprobablysuck, JerryArr, N, racefan12, SleepyKrew
Extrasensory perception (
e.g.
mind reading, being able to see into the future, spidey-sense) (8):
Ariel, Aureal, biancospino, DeasVail, DragonEater70, Farren, JerryArr, Pablito
Super strength (8):
AniX, Cephrir, Haschel Cedricson, mallowgeno, Merlin, racefan12, Silverclaw, SleepyKrew
Teleportation (8):
Ariel, Cephrir, Farren, Iprobablysuck, Save The Dragons, Silverclaw, Skygazer, VashtaNeurotic
Super speed (5):
Aureal, Cheery Dog, Iprobablysuck, mallowgeno, N
Shapeshifting (3):
Datisi, Save The Dragons, VashtaNeurotic
Time travel/Time warping (3):
biancospino, pablito, racefan12
Invincibility/Invulnerability (2):
Aureal, Skygazer
Telekinesis (2):
AniX, SaveTheDragons

Non-scoring answers

Healing: Farren
Ice powers: Merlyn
Not needing to sleep or eat: DragonEater70

Irrelevant players

StrangerCoug (27): Flight, Time travel, Superhuman strength

I decided to group a few different powers together, in particular the different forms of ESP (otherwise only specifically mind reading would have scored in that category, not the general one or the other two specific ones that I submitted that I ruled were a form of ESP).

As a result of that grouping, we finally have
two
no—
FOUR
perfect scorers in a non-binary question for this game: DeasVail, Haschel Cedricson, JerryArr, and SleepyKrew!

Save The Dragons, despite all of his answers scoring, had the lowest score with 13 and drops to level 3.

Fixed; the resulting score adjustments mean that Haschel Cedricson and SleepyKrew also have a perfect score.

I have time magic as it is - it's not about what one has or wants, but what the most likely answers are. This is why we chose two "mobility" powers. People like to go places faster.
If the only path forward is difficult, it's still better than none. I'll meet you there.

Yeah, this definitely seems more like a "what powers did people first think of" set of responses rather than what people actually would want. I refuse to believe invisibility would be that popular; don't we feel invisible enough in our lives as is? :o

Lol I actually thought the top 3 scorers would be invisibility, flight and mind reading , I gave intentionally different answers just for fun (or to be more exact, I submitted powers that I actually wanted to have).

Btw, I am totally an extrovert but I picked introvert because, well... I didn't want to lose.
