The return of Picture Balderdash - AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS

[Dragon Phoenix]

You know the drill I hope. If not:

ROUND 1:
You submit fake but believable answers to all questions.

ROUND 2:
I post all submitted answers as well as the right answers.
You submit what you think are the right answers.

SCORE:
You get 3 points for every right answer you identify in round 2.
You get 1 point for every player who selects one of your fake answers in round 2.
If you submitted the right answer (by accident) in round 1, you do not get a score for people who select that answer.

DETAILS:
No outside help (like internet searches) allowed!

Deadline for round 1 submissions (please include your GL name in the email): send before Sunday 30 March to dragonphoenixrevived@yahoo.com.

Congratulations to the Eliminate the mole team, and to runners up Aga, Sparticus and amb.

[mith]

w00t.

[dethwing]

Lots of fun DP, thanks for letting my game piggy back.

[wordcross]

um.. pardon me for being dense, but what were the right answers?

[dethwing]

The one's submitted by (YES)

[dethwing]

Unless the band is a GL submitter and is playing DP's games.

[CrystyB]

you haven't answered (you kind of did... only indirectly though) to what happens if i myself select my own answer, knowing it was wrong? Like i selected Belgium, with the sole reason of being the home-country of H. Poirot!

Hmm, i guess i can do that on purpose if i know i am clueless: i am not giving one point away to a witty competitor! Although that sounds (a bit?) un-fair-play...

Ow BTW, i spotted a little mistake in the position of my results: i got 5 points for picture #8, not #7...

[This message has been edited by CrystyB (edited 04-06-2003 08:47 PM).]

[wordcross]

ah, i see. Thanx

[Quailman]

Congrats to mith, and to Agamemnon for getting points on 8 of the 10 questions.

[One Skunk Todd]

w00t! Good fun, thx DP.

[Quailman]

I apparently made two selections on questions 7 & 8, though I do not recall doing so. I apologize if this skewed the overall results.

[Sparticus]

w00t! Great game, DP.

[The Cruciverbalist]

Great game! (Although I have no idea who "Chani" is.)
