What Were You Thinking XII! (Game Over)

[StrangerCoug]

Forgot something pretty critical xD It's in the OP now.

Also, while we wait on 18 more players, first question:

Question 1

) Name five things that you prefer to buy in person rather than online.

A deadline will be announced once we have 20 players.

[StrangerCoug]

I believe there's more than enough in my inbox to get going, so deadline will be in (expired on 2017-08-14 21:23:59) from now.

Scratch that, I'm still short one.

[StrangerCoug]

Now we'll start the timer. (expired on 2017-08-15 17:51:11).

[StrangerCoug]

The question is being scrapped in favor of a new one; the reason for this is based on my misunderstanding on processing submissions. There will be no more prompts to be more specific from here on out. To speed up the game, so long as you are /in or submitted an answer, you are still recognized as in the game and will be subject to a prod if you're about to miss the deadline.

Question 1

) Name five movies released in the last 10 years that you think everyone has watched.

There were a lot of good answers (and I went lenient on a few of you—if it was released this millennium, I took it). Shame few of you were able to avoid giving a non-scoring answer—I had

TWO!

That said, while we don't have a perfect score on this question, xofelf had the highest with 45.
DanPhantom26 was not able to get even one of his answers to score Therefore, I'm afraid he is the first drop.

DanPhantom26 falls to Level 1.

I had to throw out two players' answers and rescore the round; see posts #63 through #65.

I thought Shrek was more than a decade ago.

I went lenient on a few of you—if it was released this millennium, I took it

[StrangerCoug]

...Yeah. I'm sorry, Gamma Emerald, but I am going to eject you from the game. That's a pretty serious instance of cheating.

The other players who answered The Avengers, The Dark Knight, or Toy Story 3 are having one point deducted from their score (

ETA:

for each one of those that they said). Gamma Emerald's other two answers did not score anyway. I hate for this side effect to happen, but I don't think it's right for other players to benefit from a cheater, even unknowingly.

[StrangerCoug]

Then you should eject me too. I didn't realize outside sources were not allowed.

I had trouble thinking of movies so did a little googleing. I didn't end up using any of the movies that I searched for but I did it. I also did double check whether movies that I came up with came out in the last ten years.

Very well, then. Thank you for your honestly. The same deductions will happen with your answers as it did with Gamma Emerald's, which means Moana no longer scores. (Sorry, N.)

[StrangerCoug]

Round 1 has been rescored as if ForWhomTheJellyRolls and Gamma Emerald did not submit. Please check post #26 to verify that your score is correct.

On the other end of the scale, has the mod ever had the lowest score? In any event, since I am not an official participant and therefore cannot drop a level, Save The Dragon and Felissan (our first latecomer) do so despite doing two points better than me.

Felissan starts on Level 1 and then falls to Level 2.

Even though this question kicked some of your tails, for the second question in a row, Aurathebirb has a perfect score, netting him 55 points and a good face nuzzle from the internet's favorite lolcat
Felissan had the lowest score with 7 points and is our next drop.

Felissan falls to Level 3.

Whoops That's what happens with latecomers...

There was somebody already on Level 1 when I first got a response from you, so you are considered to start the game at that level. My records indicate that you should be tied with Save The Dragons for the lowest score in Question 2 and have the lowest score in Question 3, so McMenno will be moved back to Level 0 while you should be on Level 3.

Scores

First of all, don't feel like correcting the scores in #177 because I'm a lazy bum Everyone should have the correct scores for the question as well as the correct level below, however; if there are still any mistakes, give me a yo.

With that out of the way, still no perfects, but McMenno comes the closest with 70.
Xalxe, who had been doing well before, was the only one

NOT

to answer cash or money this question and scored no better than 11 on any single answer, giving him only 21 points and the next drop.

Xalxe falls to Level 2.

randomidget said both "important documents" and "will", so it would be to his disadvantage to group them together, but I can group "documents" and "birth certificate" together if there are no objections.

[StrangerCoug]

Being kept separate, then.

[StrangerCoug]

I'm going to be lax with the deadline this question since I expect to have a busy week. If it says you've missed the deadline but I haven't said I'm scoring the answers, you may still submit.

Back to not having a perfect score we go N's score of 51 is the closest we come to that, which is only three points short.
Speaking of three points, that's all Plotinus is able to come away with, matching only one his answers with anyone else.

Plotinus drops to Level 2.
Haschel gets his first activity strike and drops to Level 2.

Or whenever I can be bothered with scoring this thing, whichever comes later

[StrangerCoug]

Yeah. It was caught in the Google Sheet, but not in the text file when I was formatting the post. It's corrected now, and no change of scoring will take effect since it was simply a substitution of one person's name with another. (If your score's wrong, most likely you said Japan—noticed I left someone off when doing a Ctrl+F and added the point for it mentally, so...)

Scores

A perfect score here required you to play a bit of a variety of games (since two of the answers required are played with the standard deck of cards and the other is played with a proprietary one that you build), but that's exactly what McMenno and Save The Dragons apparently do 31 points for spicing it up!
On the other hand, poor, poor D3f3nd3r, who's missed the card game boat and could squeeze in only five points He's our lowest score this question.

D3f3nd3r drops to Level 3.
Haschel Cedricson fails to submit and drops to Level 3.

A reminder to make sure both Mjollnir and I get your responses, please. We'll forward your responses to the other mod if we notice you've forgotten, but if only one of us gets your answer and it's the other posting the results, you may be processed incorrectly as not having submitted.

Answers locked in, update this evening

EDIT: My apologies, need to make a mod decision on something

There's a player Mjollnir forgot to prod. While we officially do this as a courtesy, we feel that the omission has put the player at an unfair disadvantage in terms of meeting the deadline, so I've sent him a PM allowing 12 hours for his responses. #263 stands for everybody else and we cannot accept answers from anybody for whom we are not extending the deadline.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience.

Well, this was a very opinionated question, isn't it? Matter of fact, I got this from Mjollnir when he saw my answers:

Oh, and Gordon Ramsey is NOT overpaid, that guy is a culinary legend

Since 21 people (counting your mods, but excluding the players who failed to submit) gave a total of 52 different responses, it was hard to score very high on this question. Plotinus was able to get the highest with 35, while poor Aronis failed to get a single point this question.

Aronis drops to level 2.
D3f3nd3r gets his first activity strike and drops to level 4.
Haschel Cedricson and N get their third activity strike and drop from the game.

Another opinionated question with lots of answers, so no perfects. JerryArr and LlamaFluff got the closest with 19.
Assemblerotws... well, can have consolation in not being an unpopular company Four points means he still eats a drop.

BUT...

Misery loves company Five of you either didn't submit at all or submitted only to Mjollnir, so your answers weren't where I could find them, and for one of you, this was a fatal mistake. You were warned about this, people.

Assemblerotws falls to level 6.
Aurathebirb gets his first activity strike and falls to level 3.
Cephrir gets his first activity strike and falls to level 2.
DiplomatDC gets his first activity strike and falls to level 7 and thus has been eliminated from competitive play.
mallowgeno gets his first activity strike and falls to level 3.
