COTM 2018 Elimination 1A

{ROUND 01 ELIMINATION}


What Were You Thinking!


As is traditional, we've stolen Xalxe's example posts from when he's run this game in the past. As isn't traditional, I've stolen my own summary from the last Clash #recycling: What Were You Thinking! is a game about trying to give the most popular answers to a variety of questions that has been run a multitude of times over the years. What Were You Thinking has mainly been run in Mish Mash and is always a hit and easy to play. Enjoy!


Rules
Object
  • Give answers to questions by trying to give the popular answer, scoring more points the more popular your answers are. At the end of the game, the player on each team with the lowest score will be eliminated from the game.
How to Play
  • A number of categories will be given such as "Name Five Pieces of Exercise Equipment" or "Which Player Reads the Most Novels." All players must then PM me their choices as answers for the current category.
  • I will give a deadline for PM submissions of your answers and, at deadline, will post them all. The point is not to give the correct answer(s), but to give the most popular answer(s).
  • Outside help (e.g. Internet searching and/or discussion of the current topic with other players) is disallowed; answers must be actual attempts to fit the category -- none of this giving of answers that don't fit just for laughs or to match others outside of the category.
Scoring
  • Players score zero points if they give an answer that matches no other player for a category.
  • Players that give the same answer score a total amount of points equivalent to the number of players that also gave that answer.
  • Since 3 teams are playing this at once, all 36 players will have their answers in the scoring pool. However, you are not directly competing against members of opposing teams, as only the lowest scorer on a team will be eliminated. Even if you do better than half of another team, if you're the lowest scorer on your own team, you're out.


Example Play

These results won't be made public, so their answers will be compared to those of the 36 people who already played the challenge

Haha, if that isn't me with some of those questions, I don't know what is. Just try your best, that's what I did. I've said this 100000 times on the discord, but good luck to everybody including you! :)

I remember being the first one to get eliminated in a couple WWYTs before. This should be fun.
