blonde poker forum

Rules (copied from another, I haven't read them properly)

The Rules

There are 10 questions.

PM me your answers by 11:59pm on Monday the 10th of January.  Please give each answer on a SEPARATE line with corresponding question number.

The reveal will take place at 8pm on Tuesday the 11th of January

Your score for each question is number of people who give the same correct answer. So you want to go for answers that you think will be less commonly given. Levelling commonly happens. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep, with the corresponding sheep score.  If you score the only ACE in any round, you will receive MINUS 1 points for that round.  So a solitary ace for a round scores better than a pass.

You are not allowed to do research such as Google searches to come up with answers, and you're not allowed to ask others for help with your answers.  Those who do will be spotted by the other contestants and no doubt pointed out.  Punishment will be dealt to those deemed cheating.  I will be the judge, but a jury of your peers might be drafted in to decide guilt or innocence.

If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive sheep score + 5 points

You MUST pass on one, and only one, question and score a 0 for that question.

Any questions, post in this thread. If it's a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.

Spelling schmelling. Though if its unreadable, you will be punished.

Objections are allowed, but a source must be provided with the INITIAL objection, otherwise subsequent evidence will most probably be deemed inadmissible and your case will be thrown out.

If a previous winner is victorious they may if they so choose nominate the next QM - and this will be a virgin QM.

Please read the rules, and re-read them.  Ignorance of the rules will not be an acceptable excuse for farcical objections or questions, and the judge (and jury if necessary) will be called upon to determine guilt and the punishment.

Lowest score after the 10 rounds will win. In the event of a tie, some type of farce will take place, specifications of which Ill decide at a later date.

Please be nice to me

Apologies for the lack of pictures, I only found out it was me this morning and I know how hungry for questions it can get.


1. Name an Ocean

2. Name a Star Wars character (not a race, a "person" in the film)

3. Name a standard item from the KFC menu

4. Name a country that has a team in the Davis Cup tennis competition

5. Name someone that has a blog on the blonde poker forum

6. Name a famous British person (or seen as being British despite not) that's over 70 years old.  For clarity of famous, if I've heard of them or look them up and go "ah ok" then I'll allow it.  For example; the silly old bloke dressed as a Leprechaun with a pot of gold that Louis put through in Britains Got Talent wouldn't count

7. Name a blonde Hall of Fame member

8. Name a country that uses the Euro as currency

9. Name a current West End show

10. Name a city in the North of England

In!

Oh dear lord.

Good questions.

Though this is going to be messy!

Really?  Oh dear.

why would he not count? you've clearly heard of him

damn it gatso. that was going to be my answer!

Don't you start!  He's clearly not famous plus I don't know his name, nor will I recognise it if I Google him.  I've blocked it out of my mind now

it still is going to be mine. hope he's over 70 and not a real leprechaun as not many of them are british and arguably they're not people

You can, but I've already ruled that he's not famous

I'd have a go at this but I'm scared of winning and having to set some questions myself.

Also if I don't win but there's a repeat winner I'm a potential target for forced QM.

For these reasons I'll have to give it a miss.

Good set of questions though. Enjoy everybody!!

oi that's no excuse. running an rsq is fun! and i'm sure we'll all be nice to you!

Tell me about it, I came 3rd in the last one!

Best questions ever - now that is a proper RSQ IMO.

In.

Plenty of room for farciticy in this one.

:D

literally. so much travesy ahead.

Worried by these comments, I chose questions that would be straight foward lol

Entered...

North ?  North of where?  London?

North of England, says that already.

Sent - won't be around for the reveal again = green light for another Claw stich-up.

oh - scotland then?

Scotlandville isn't in the north of England, as far as I'm aware, it's a separate country

yah but carl asked 'north of where' to try to ascertain what you define as 'north'.  you said 'north of england' so i got confused innit.  as a fellow southerner I prusume anywhere midlands upwards counts?

Set the bar at north of DTD!

norrr - DTD is 100% deffo 'up north' imo

DTD is in the Midlands ldo

If the locals say things like "eee bye gum" then it's northern

excellent definition imo

Last few hours to enter this exciting quiz and join the hopeful 14 who are wanting to take a shot at hosting RSQ40

I promise if i win again I won't pass the back this time.

sure hope i win.

I'm torn as to whether to enter this. don't think I can do the reveal but def going to have to argue some of my answers

in but gonna be disappointed if I don't get to argue

Argue in advance if you want, hope you have a nice night out

Thank you all for entering

It was the night of the reveal.... Not a creature was stiring..... Not even a mouse!!

Looking forward to this. I expect to be (joint) top of the table at the end of q1. Then it'll be going downhill from there.

Been looking forward to this

Nice ambiguous and farceworthy questions

QM isn't even online

Hope I win this one. Have thought of some decent questions that'll be right at home for number 40 :)

He is online :)  I hope you win too

then finds out everyone else had the same idea

Looking forward to q2

Where has the QM gone?

Objection

Who is Danny Ocean?

it was literally the first thing that came into my head, and that's usually what I go with on these.  guess was same for the others - I must really think like a sheep.

Objection to Lando, Jabba, Jar Jar, Jango

They weren't in "the film" "Star Wars"

and was this specified as a fictional character, or did respondent think it was a body of water?

can someone explain the cf blog joke to me please?

seconded (just for something to do)

Could be quickest rsq in history if nana had a power cut and his phone lost connection! Go away nana!!0

a star wars character ie in any of the films IMO


IS CF'S BLOG A CORRECT ANSWER FOR THIS ONE?

question does not ask to name a body of water...

Goodness, surely non-debatable answers!  Sigh, thought this was going to be a breeze!

Question 1 was just an Ocean, didn't have to be a body of water

They are Star Wars characters, it's all part of the brand.   There's a Star Wars Trilogy, it's not  something else trilogy is it

Cf's blog is incorrect for the Star Wars Character as far as i'm aware.

How can it be any film when it says "THE film"?

By that argument any of the expanded universe characters count. Fair enough. But it says "the film", so they don't. It doesn't say "the films". So it can only be "Star Wars".

Know fk all bout star wars Just remember selling a jar jar binks 3d puzzle on car boot!!

I know that.

However the farce quotient is too low, cf blog aside

no, but it does say 'name an ocean', implying an actual ocean, not a figment of someone's imagination.  If i'd said 'bob ocean - a character that featured in a short story i wrote once' should that be allowed?

this

Agree, shouldn't be allowed. You don't refer to people in that way. It'd be "name someone called ocean" or some such.

this

Billy Ocean is technically not a real person,it's not his real name.  

Star Wars characters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_characters

Allowed all those imo

gtfo tightend. you'd be arguing the same here if you weren't wrong :)

Please read and reply to my previous post. You clearly said "the film".

but he's a real person, and that's the name he's known by

Ban him imo

oi. do you want my support on the crucial blog question later or not?


Give and take, young blogster

No, I said
Name a Star Wars character (not a race, a "person" in the film)

Not Name a person in the film Star Wars.    Completely different.

well slightly different.

Further would HK-47 be allowed? Appears in an officially endorsed SW game.

Of course he wouldn't. He's not in "the film".

question shouldve been better worded then. too late to cry now lol

2nd'ed

why didn't you say 'in the films' then? eh? eh?

sigh, fml

Even people good scores are objecting! 

Anyway, no objections so moving on

Just uphold my perfectly correct objection and we can move on.

Or join the ranks of QMs who just say, "well, what it MEANT to say was this" and mark your answers based on whatever you want.

what do you mean 'no objections'?  there are lots

Are meals standard items?

gatso would be proud of you

sigh. yet another reveal when we may as well not be here if QM is just going to do what he likes and ignore correct objections.

are sandwiches snacks?

more standard than individual items imo.  who orders anything but a meal at kfc?

Honestly don't get how that question can be interpreted as anything other than "Name a character in the film Star Wars". Completely farcical ruling.

I'm prepared to listen to objections but these are clearly just nit picking.  if the answer was Peter Pan and I'd given it as correct, I'd listen and change things accordingly, but I know what you bunch are like!   The answers are all good so far.

If I take a coffee break, do things blow over for a bit :D

2. Name a Star Wars character - Hmm, ambiguous at this point. Do you mean the film or the overall universe?

(not a race, a "person" in the film) - Ah, he's on about the film.

The answers I quoted are not in the above film. Hence they are wrong. There isn't even a discussion to be had here.

Farce

Just crack on. Cf, like Gatso, is like a lexicographic crack addict. He needs a successful objection to feel wanted. Don't give in

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_characters

Not sure how else to argue it, even Wikigeeks agree with me.   They're Star Wars Characters!  

Should have left the brackets part out then marked everyone that said Ewok wrong.

Advice taken!

would have been fine if you hadn't said 'in the film'.  innit. 

I meant films, so meant it.  Clearly regretting things now

feeling slightly guilty about making you be QM and giving you grief.  Almost enough to stop.

But that's the thing. What you MEANT is irrelevant. All that matters is what you actually asked.

This whole thing is pointless if we can just answer whatever we want.

if you had meant it as you asked, presume you'd be happy to fail 'em?

You're doing a great job Silo.

Ignore the haters.

Lol, forgot I didn't even win, or come second!



I know, I'm not even arguing that part.  My main defence is that Wiki agrees with me.   I'm taking Wiki as reference over you I'm afraid.

That's the whole idea surely, it always has been.

No it doesn't. Give me a min.

lol ty


Shush!  I'm happy to stick to my original questions tyvm

Don't edit Wiki, I have it on screen at the moment !

wow kin bottom of the league. I am sure he will get a question right tonight.

Right. The page you quote says:

This is an incomplete list of prominent characters from the Star Wars franchise, sorted by last name.

This isn't what you asked. Your question was originally ambiguous. Then you clarified "Star Wars" to mean "the film".

So unless the characters in question appear on that list as appearing in Ep4 or in the following article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_IV:_A_New_Hope then they're quite simply wrong.

At no point does your link state that they're in "Star Wars"

guessing you missed the sentence oddly placed at the end of the '#' section

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/wiki.jpg)

prove it.  I have.

lol nh claw

I will, I've taken a screenshot but can't find anything in Windows 7 to paste it into lol

no good taking a screenshot after you've edited out the crucial part.

Zzzzzzzzzzz move on nothing to see here!!

Silence prob means Silo has imploded

For once I am not guilty.


Shameful behaviour from cf. Like a dog with a bone. Unforgiveable.

I just love how hypocritical this is :D

ha ha, multiple people changing the wiki page atm.

Another justification for me to leave my ruling as it stands

Moving on

wtf does the editing of the wiki article that proved my point in the first place have to do with anything?

Have we had any instances before of a mod banning a QM? :)

any chance of having the scores in ascending order?

lol, that was the conceit!

no

actually, perhaps


all posts before this have been taken on board, thank you for your interest

OBJECTION

Cf - Cf, Kinboshi


Huh?

? Problem?

I questioned someone as to if they had a blog and was told yes, but I'm happy to mark both as incorrect cos I listen to objections init :)

link to blog thread pls

link to my blog: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=51333.0

I also took a screenshot if anyone is interested

presumably 'blog on the blonde poker forum' means said blog takes the form of a forum thread?

lol was waiting for this moment

I always disagreed with your decision to host a blog in a private area of the forum. Mods should not be elitist. The fact that the majority of people cannot answer "cf" as they are unaware of your blog invalidates it in my opinion as it skews your score by giving an answer that automatically provides a low score.

sigh. wpwp.

No one picked my blog?

Still wasn't an ace :)

was it your idea rich?

Why would anyone want to do that? :)

what blog?

objection!
 you asked us to "name" someone who has a blog on blonde my answer was not their blondepoker identity i gave TightEnds proper name i feel anyone who gave a blonde id should be Failed.

lol, don't you start.

Nonsense. We're on about forum threads. The name is question is implied to be the forum name.

In fact, real names should be fails.

Not at all.

Not even girgy picked my blog?

how can real names be failed when that was what the questiin asked for

farcical

question.  did cf's blog exist prior to silo's questions being posted?

can't tell you what happens on the mods board. Sorry.

yes

I was going to pick your blog vinny, but i thought everyone else would as it's the best.

everyone not wanting to make a popular pick obviously

Lol, real names werent' asked for, just someone with a blog, I'd have happily taken forum or real names.  Lets not get too picky on how the questions are worded, you'll only ruin it for yourselves :)

Sorry bro! x

NO

wanka

As if anyone can believe anything you say in an RSQ

boo.  actuallly thought this was a really good stunt to get one over on silo.  with that knowledge, however, it just seems a little oddball :)

Are you cheating?

Cheating?

three different mods, three different answers.  what happened to the united front of 'BLONDE MODERATING TEAM'?

Yes, cheating, are you?

No. Why do you ask?

cf has been temporarily banned

He will be back at the end of the RSQ.


Thank you

most of us dont like cf so we dont stick together where he is concerned.

travesty,
 obviously need to be a mind reader to figure out what the questions are supposed to mean.

I believe tighty.  if blog wasn't live when questions were published fail it imo.

Mea culpa, it is a "no"

No,thank you :)

ha ha, yes, they're so confusing :D

did tighty send you a stern PM threatening to beat you if you didn't change your answer?

cf used to be a mod here.

OK, if Cf's "blog" started after the question was asked, it's not allowed.  Could someone post the date of the first entry please?

No. Robert and I are as one. Or one and a half.

banned members blogs deffo shouldn't be allowed.  that's 3 reasons so far to fail him imo.

OK, banning Cf, or at least disallowing his entry.

Yes, I mean no, I think

Apologies for the delay, it's a bit time consuming putting them in order on this laptop

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=51243.0

here is my blog as obv no one has ever heard of it.

Tikay - mondatoo


OBJECTION He's 63. Born 1947

lolz, much as I hate to say it, Tikay is a fail, surely?

no one picked mine either.  only the inferior blogs got chosen imo.

Whoa whoa woah where in the Q does it say they have to be alive?

Why have I got so many points?

lol left in for a laugh as I didn't know how old he was, although his Wiki page says he's quite old.  Will disallow it

People stop being XX years old when they die Girgy

It's called common sense Mr Girdlestone. Otherwise any famous British person from history would count. Dead people don't have ages. They died aged x.

Patrick Moore twice down as an ace?

yeah but girgy isnt your bro from another mo.

LOL,He told me on Saturday he was 64,least I got it through for a second though.

he might be.

Word from the mods forum is that you created the blog after the question was set.  If you'd like to move it to the public forum to prove otherwise then I'll happy give you the points back (or take them off)


He was?My bad,will adjust

haha - old people often forget their age innit

Erm objection here! Queen mom shud stand IMO!

I openly admit I created it after the question was set. Why's that a problem? Question didn't specify any sort of time frame.

she'd probs fall over

Going to ignore you for a bit

is cf's blog any good?

She's dead, she's stopped being of an age

superb

wtf? Question asked for someone who has a blog on blonde. I have a blog on blonde.

Better than Celtic's

Queen mother! Famous and over 70! Why have I failed? And common sense or not Q doesn't say they have to be alive!!

obv, but it is any good?

HAS implying that the blog is in existence at the time the question was asked.

in the same way that if one of the oldies had popped their clogs this morning they'd still be allowed imo.

crap. All Silvrikin, no substance

A proper blog or just something random set up to scam a nifty ace in the game?  Move it to the general forum and if it's a blog of your life over the last week or so I'll allow it.

can't say fairer than that imo

Time of reveal surely.

Question will be listed at the reveal time.

"5. Name someone that has a blog on the blonde poker forum"

Does cf have a blog? Why, yes he does! It's a correct answer.

I agree a HOFer should have the Key but I don't so can't comment.

I blame Viz for the death of the queen mum.  they published a 'mourning kit' ready for the event of her death in the very issue that was on the shelves on that easter weekend in 2002.

I bloody know she is but where in your question does my answer fail?

FYP

oh are you in the HOF?

they'll be telling me celtic has a blog next!

Done.

blog is now in the lounge.

Reinstate bubble, he lost it big time.

LOL,I genuinely forgot what the next question was when I mentioned that,haha.

Nice insight into the Mod board - who the f**k does Celtic think comes under the banner of "commoner"?

So so desperate, I should ban you from the quiz.  You should feel ashamed.  I hope the toothache hurts a lot

Did I mention that the queen mommy was famous and over 70?

claw

booder

mondatoo

delboy

and now girgy.

deffo not delboy -  he's well posh innit.

he;s a commoner to me.

We have a Greek public school boy, that posh bloke from Cambridge not to mention Flushy - common as if.

huh? I did as you asked. Even risked my position of modship by exposing classified materials. I'm not desperate. I'm just dedicated to and care for the rsq.

pretty sure joseph and the amazing technicolour dream coat isn't current.

also wouldn't describe 'the woman in black' or 'the mousetrap' as shows

and that's just off the top of my head.  have you actually checked the answers or just passed everything?

I see I'm winning. good stuff, carry on

fyp

nice of you to join us.  pls update your hot chocolate blog.

please continue my star wars objection for me. you're better at objecting than i am.

some of us attend the theatre and have knowledge of these things :)

I made sure that you could get tickets for all
too late now, tyvm

where can you get tickets for joseph in the west end?

why have you allowed plays when you clearly asked for 'shows'?

Woman in Black is defo a West End Show - I have seen it, admit a fluke if its still on, but hey

Also London tickets seem to offer show and dinner tickets to Woman in Black, good enough for me.

a play is a show, obv. If it's in a West End theatre I think tis fine

Well done QM. Again

Who cares anymore?

Piss, mistake with Joseph, turns out the link I used wasnt right

Others allowed, plays the same as shows in theatre land

I've seen it too.  It's most deffo not a show, it's a play.  I'm going to see how wiki describes it, coz silo loves the wiki.

presuming  your answer is a play too.

no no no - show/play different things, or they wouldn't be described differently.

probs no need to click the link to see which category woman in black falls under

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_in_Black_(play)

I do,but not after people go to "check it out" ;)

Thanks to all, congratulations to RedSimon, I'm sure he'll make an excellent quiz :)

Amateur editing tbh, didn't even put the last bracket on the word play on the page :D

Wait, what?

Where's q10?

why didn't  you check all the wiki pages to see which were shows and which were plays then.  i cba to edit pages over something that is so clearly in no need of editing.

lol haven't touched it!

Redsimon has won?


Congratulations!!!



Well done to Silo Graham, a QM in the worst of traditions.

Is a musical a "show" ?

not had answer 10 yet FARCE lol

yes

cos if it's on in the West End, I'm classing it as a show.  

Bollocks, question 10 to come :(

FARCE


Where is the Northern Cities question?

Everyone thinks i think some people are commoners.

even without q10 how has simon won?

Actually, you'd be suprised :D


lol calm down, you'll love the final outcome :D

what chance has my blog got now?

I didn't know that, ty

Question 10 is coming, stop posting about it!!

but you can't just randomly decide what constitutes a show when there's already a very clear definition of what defines a 'show' and what defines a 'play'

+1 well done Gatso, looking forward to your QM

it's ok, neither did the qm ;D

bloody commoners

already done one. I get to nominate you

Surely by now you've realised that objecting is utterly pointless?

What is the definition of show as I can't find it?

there was room for ambiguity on the other questions, but to remain steadfast on something this cut and dried is just astonishing imo

Hopefully none due to your blatant classist remarks :)

Did I stop Cf's ace, or was his answer thrown out for being crap anyway?

give it up claw

Mine was cut and dry as well.

But that doesn't matter. All that matters is what the QM meant.

I think Claw is incorrect. I went to watch yes Prime Minister recently and it was definitely a West End Show. As it was a play in a West End threatre. To define show as a musical only is far too narrow

in west end theatre show = musical.

look at the wiki pages of each individual production mentioned and it'll describe them as either a 'play' or a 'show' imo

les miserables is shit and thats considered a show.

wp Silo. Just the right amount of farceness. You're now in the RSQ history books.

unlucky simon

Re Mousetrap

https://www.the-mousetrap.co.uk

Read the opening paragraph on the homepage

i am surprised you of all people don't understand the difference.

people of your calibre would usually turn their noses up at the idea of seeing a 'show'

Snob.

Well done Redsimon

Questions up when you can


Graham...lol....just remember who insisted you do this!

Thanks, it's been fun and a pleasure :)

Not at all. I have seen Jersey Boys three times and Les Mis twice. Loved them both

but you prefer wiki.  you said so earlier.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousetrap

What happened to Q 10?

Damn right :)  I was only 3rd!!!!   never again.

commoner

Didnt say I prefer it to the SHOWS own website

wheee well done redsimon.

[ ] excellent QMing solo
[X] glad I chose you ;D

Woman in black

http://www.thewomaninblack.com/

Clearly they think it's a show too

 rotflmfao sums it up

Using wikipedia is genius.

You just post a random page that has no relevance to the objection.

Then you dismiss the objection because people may have in the mean time edited the page.

As I say... genius.

it is exactly the objection I had planned had I been here and it's abs ridic that it was ignored. people who bothered to read the question had a smaller pool of answers to choose from so are penalised for answering correctly while people who have no comprehension skills can draw from a much larger pool and pick up aces with incorrect answers. renders the whole thing pointless imo

I also wanted to object to indian, arctic and atlantic as despite the fact that we refer to them as oceans I'm pretty sure they're just divisions of the larger world ocean

Just skimming through the thread having a laugh at Poor Silo's misfortune to get cf in one of his moods, and I get this........


I'm  off to cry now

So I had justification then it was edited and removed so I said I was sticking by my guns. That's just common sense imo, I'm not really a genius ;)

:)

Glad you were out tbh, thankfully it's too late now.

Anyone that actually knows who Wedge Antilles is without Googling it knows too much about Star Wars anyway, I'm on a losing battle to begin with.

is he a shoe designer?

Could be, either that or a cheese

I

a) like Star Wars

and

b) like Final Fantasy, which makes numerous references to Biggs and Wedge :)

BTW cf Jabba was in the first Star Wars Movie but left out of the final cut,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_Antilles

isn't that a pretty good definition of not being in the movie?

he was in the re-release but by that point the film was called a new hope, only the original release was called just star wars

It was always subtitled a new hope wasn't it?

Nope - original poster had May The Force Be With You as the by-line.

def originally released as star wars, don't think they expected it to become a franchise

that's the whole basis for cf's objection being correct, there was a film called star wars even though it's since been retitled

I'm pash at rsq,s

It's a steep learning curve...hope one day to get better

Sigh

Wp silo....cf was a nitemare

Don't see why I should get labelled a nightmare. My star wars objection was 100% correct.

Lol....soz....just my impression

P.s.. reminds me I got an original toy cantina...bought around 1980...always meant ti see if its worth anything?...

ffs. I was so close to picking Ocean Colour Scene.

I would have thought that Danny and Billy Ocean were the only correct answer as the question asks to name an Ocean. If it were to ask for a body of water, it would use a lower case 'o'.
