Sheep.
Just a regular game of sheep. For each category, submit five answers that you think most people would associate with that category. The player who thinks most like everyone else is the winner
1. Surgery
2. Curry
3. Garden
4. Bugs Bunny
5. Saxophone
6. Tiger
7. NBA
8. Italy
9. Silicon
10. Mike Myers
11. Egg
12. Garfield
Single entry, so the more players we get, the better. Minimum of 5. Deadline 30 October - (31 Oct for any Kiwis or Aussies  )
I will attempt to combine plurals. Please dont send "Julep, Juleps" (for example) in your answer and thus break everything 
In List
Dethwing - DTW
Scurra - SCR
Wordcross - WDX
Lexprod - LXP
Groza528 - GZA
Bgg1996 - BGG
sAbLLimINal - SAB
Quailman - QMA

I honestly don't remember what happens when there are two of the same word for a single player. I don't think the script crashes, but I'm also pretty sure it doesn't count your score twice...

Script crashes
Goes into an eternal loop.
I found a weird bug in it, take the length of all the names, and find the person(s) with the longest name. Any person whose name is exactly 1 character short of the longest name has their score appearing 1 character to the left. |

Huh. That is pretty weird.
[edit] For anyone who might be curious, I think it has to do with truncating whitespace in the absence of   characters to pad the length.
Also, I really need to learn to do two things:
1) Don't get frustrated with the number of variables and start naming them for random things.
2) Comment the whole script, not just the early parts.
I just went back to look at the code and I probably couldn't tell you what does what anymore.

I'm having trouble with my home PC which wont boot up anymore. If I cant get it fixed very soon, I may formally ask Wordcross to collate the results on my behalf.
Give me another 48 hours. |

If you want.... you can try to explain to me what's going on with your home computer. I know how to fix 'em.

Replace the motherboard. And the hard drive. And the power supply. Upgrade the graphics card and the RAM. Get a quad-core processor.
Voila, fixed! |

Heh. I can't speak for Boomer, but, in my personal case, computers are one thing that I'm always good at. I do alright in helping people with other things, but I excel at computer repair (and just computer related stuff in general.) I have a Franklin'esc outlook on service (that is, wanting praise and recognition), so I'm constantly willing to help people when I see them having computer issues.
As for "not wanting wordcross to do it", well, I'm not even going to dignify that absurd accusation with a response.

Nobody has ever told me that they followed the above steps and it didn't work. I'm generally pretty abysmal with computers actually; I know enough to get by. |

Ah. I have seen exactly that before.

No, but seriously, what the hell happened to my entry?  There was a legitimate Garfield entry in the invisitext.

| I think it's interesting that I matched *Quail* the most. Usually the pattern is everyone matches the first and second place guys. |

Well it looks like Lexprod and I match each other most in both cases. bgg also matches me most. Everyone else matches Groza most with the exception of sablliminal who matched quail the most.

Chaz, I appear to have lost your entry somehow? Can you resubmit it?
Im sure I did save that to my desktop, so I might check there when I return home. Its not in my save box for some reason - perhaps I hit delete instead of save? |
