What Were You Thinking XIV! (Game over)

[Cheery Dog]

My answer is still "no". I like my weather how it is.

[Silverclaw]

See all these people saying they'd actually want rainier? That's what I was expecting when I sent my answer

Hilariously it's still not enough for rainy. We need 3 more

[Aureal]

My answer is still "no". I like my weather how it is.

This. Or more specifically, it would be nice if there was moderately more rain in summer and more sun in winter. But I'd probably have to move to Hawaii to find milder weather overall, so I'm not complaining. Except about climate change because it's definitely gotten worse in the last decade.

StrangerCoug (13): Pester them with questions, not do their homework, color on the walls, fight, watch too much TV

And people wonder why I don't have kids xP

This was a hard one to judge in terms of which answers to group together. I'd have grouped together "run around screaming" with "scream" and "yell", but since another player said "run around everywhere," I couldn't do that. (Sorry, SleepyKrew.) In addition, because Farren gave two specific questions, I couldn't group them in the general category.

The variety of questions made it very hard to get a perfect score this time, with DeasVail coming the closest with 34.
For the third question in a row, Ircher has the lowest score. That drops him to level 7, which unfortunately means that he is eliminated. He is welcome to continue submitting, but his answers as well as those of any latecomers from here on out will be listed under the irrelevant players section.
DragonEater70 and Haschel Cedricson failed to submit answers before the deadline and drop to levels 5 and 3 respectively.

[StrangerCoug]

JerryArr didn't submit whine/complain; mallowgeno did. That's fixed now.

[StrangerCoug]

Also just corrected another mistake where pablito instead of N was credited for poop.

[N]

glad to have my poop credit

[Silverclaw]

Math? Really? Fucking math? As a favourite????????

I'll need an explanation on that one

[Cephrir]

i treated the question as identical to "name three school subjects"

i was tempted to put lunch tho

[Farren]

I actually enjoyed math, myself.

That being said, it's the only one of the three that I answered honestly.

[DragonEater70]

Math? Really? Fucking math? As a favourite????????

Same

[DragonEater70]

I guess I should've subbed english/language arts for literature but in my mind American schools don't study English. I guess I was wrong about that.

[Datisi]

English/Language arts (8): AniX, Aureal, Cephrir, Datisi, DeasVail, Farren, Haschel Cedricson, N

Literature (3): biancospino, DragonEater70, Iprobablysuck

why are these two separate categories?

Math? Really? Fucking math? As a favourite????????

I had to travel back really far to find memories of school I even enjoyed.
Maths before it went way to complex was one of them.

Actually it probably started throughout, but just because I hated everything else even more

[StrangerCoug]

English/Language arts (8): AniX, Aureal, Cephrir, Datisi, DeasVail, Farren, Haschel Cedricson, N

Literature (3): biancospino, DragonEater70, Iprobablysuck

why are these two separate categories?

For that question I only grouped obvious synonyms together. One of the people who submitted English actually did submit "English/Language arts", but I didn't lump literature together with it since a non-native English speaker could have interpreted "English" as a foreign language class and not primarily as a literature class.

[DragonEater70]

I feel cheated

[StrangerCoug]

Also,

please note my sig.

I will still check my inbox every so often but I felt the need to take a sick day today.

[Merlyn]

[Datisi]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/diction ... age%20arts

i figured. i mostly asked since our literature and language class was all in one single class, and i was wondering if that's the same for the rest of y'all

[D3f3nd3r]

Yep, it’s the same here (and sometimes they hit a point in high school where they just…stop teaching grammar for whatever reason).
