Answers and Questions - Results posted: yes, really!!

[Scurra]

Just to fill in some time, and because I haven't ever actually run a game on here before... I found this one when searching for the first Top GL'er thread, and I remembered it being enjoyably surreal. The rules below are basically copied from what I think was the last time it was run by Groza.

The rules are simple. You sign up by posting an "answer" in this thread. The answer should be vague enough that it could respond to a variety of different questions, but specific enough to give players some direction.
Once a few days have gone by without any new players joining, signups are closed. At that point everyone should PM me one question to be associated with each answer, including their own (in order please to make my life easier). When everyone's in I will post the questions, and everyone will vote on their favorite question for each answer, via pm. One point per vote, the person who gets the most votes wins. Also, this should go without saying, but you may not vote for yourself.
I will also be playing; to ensure fairness on my part I will come up with my own set of questions just before closing signups, and I will submit my votes to the people that I voted for via pm. This should cover not altering my choices based on the votes of others, but doesn't cover the point that I know who sent what, so you're just going to have to trust me on that one.

Current answers:

Scurra: The fourth of July
MNOWAX: Because the last time, I wasn't as drunk
lexprod: Because now it matches the drapes!
Dented Ford: White lines
Amb: Having two is much better than one
3iff: A rod, a pole and a perch.
jack_ian: A. It's that new dog-food diet I'm on.
courk: 24, but only on Tuesdays.
MatthewV: You bet your beige-colored buttocks I did!
The Great Crep'er: There's no time for that, we've got a kidney to save!
Zag: The immense gravitational force
Mackay: When the count reaches 25.
itisally: Because you have to be able to find things.
Undercover Monk: It's better if you don't ask?

[3iff]

Thanks...looks fairly insane...but count me in anyway.

[Dented Ford]

Make sure to send an invite to Mackay for this one. And request another "script" compilation of the answers. That one from last time was brilliant.

A: White lines

[Amb]

Having two is much better than one

[Scurra]

[3iff]

I'm trying to think of an answer...that isn't my intended submission (yet) but it might be.

Here's my answer.

A rod, a pole and a perch.

[Jack_Ian]

/in

A. It's that new dog-food diet I'm on.

[Courk]

24, but only on Tuesdays.

[MatthewV]

Answer:
You bet your beige-colored buttocks I did!

[MatthewV]

Oh, and you can skip the bit about sending messages to everyone with your answers if you like. I think we know you aren't going to cheat just to make yourself look cool. surely you will come up with better reasons to cheat!

[Scurra]

Apparently I'm actually only any good at games that require an absurd level of trivial knowledge. Witness my abject failure at Sheep games over the years.

In an effort to speed up sign-up, I've modified my sig.
Also this post allows me to set up notification, so two birds with one stone ftw.

Thanks. At present I am thinking that I will close sign-ups on the 1st July, unless there is a sudden flurry at the weekend.

OK, we've got 14 answers which seems more than enough to run with.
So... Questions please. PM them to me with A+Q in the subject line so that I can be sure I've got everyone.

Oh, I missed that the answer submissions had closed. I'll look at it at home tonight.

I guess I was sort of expecting you to collect the answers in a single post.

[itisally]

Sorry I was on vacation last week I sould have them in tonight.

Still honing the questions...It'll be a day or two. Hope that's ok.

[Dented Ford]

Aargh, I didn't realise it was submission time either. I'll get working on it.

[Mackay]

Oh god I'm really sorry. I joined this thread in response to a message from another GLer, and then forgot all about it. I was just reminded yesterday.

I'll get right on writing questions, but if it's too late feel free to just kick me out.

Again, I'm really, really sorry.

[Undercover Monk]

Hello Scurra are you there???

[Amb]

Oh GOSH, I forgot about this too! Do I still have time?

[Scurra]

Well as I'm the worst person in the world to run something like this, then yes, you still have time, since I simply hadn't got around to sorting it out.
It's a good job this isn't one of those games that needs a real timetable.
