RSQ: The Trial

[Ginger]

The defence would like to submit its case

Firstly my quiz track record is unblemished and in the top echelons of UK quizzing

I am a Mastermind Semi finalist, I beat my Egghead but had the misfortune to have Claw alongside me for the final with £17,000 at stake and have a successful track record of quizmastering. Most reliable of all I didn't have a clue about any of Newmanseye's bb questions

Furthermore I have some interesting character traits that lend me to the application of useful information to completely pointless quizzes. I have an almost perfect photographic memory, although it is fading with age now. This led me to get 14 O Levels, 4 Alevels, 2 AS Levels a degree and A Doctorate on nothing more than learning by rote.

Applying this memory has always been hugely misplaced by me, a symptom of what I beleive is undiagnosed OCD. Ask me to remember something useless, I am your man

Onto Pizza

Three weekends ago my children bounded into my car.

"Dad Dad is there a Domino's Pizza near you?"

"I don't know" I replied honestly

They went on to explain that they had received a delivery the other night as their mum was too lazy to cook healthy food for them and could I please treat them to similar that weekend?

I prevaricated, and tried to persuade them to join me at the Bengal Pearl in Flitwick for a curry. Two of the three children demurred though.

Instead some twenty fours later I found myself surfing through the Dominos website

I input my post code MK45 1BL and established that my local Dominos store was the local Domino's of their abode with their Mum's

Our mutual excitement rose. I Went down the menu item by item...note photographic memory...and we selected between us

2 x Personal Cheese and Tomato Pizzas
1x Large Meateor...I was rather taken with the pun here actually

and for myself

1x PiriPiriPizza as it contains Tandoori Chicken, and I crosss reference to my Indian desire from the ngiht before

I noticed the Hot tandoori option, but though I wouldn't risk it

I went to input the order. Disaster!!! This store does not deliver to your location 

I pleaded with my children for us not to have to go to the outlet but I was toow eak to resist and disappoint them

We picked the pizzas up

I thought nothing more of it

Until I notice a dominos question on the latest RSQ


Now at this point RSQ strategy has to come into play, and I submit that I am unparallelled in RSQ strategy as four victories undoubtedly show

It was my mental contention that the answer most likely to be picked by the fewest contestants was PiriPiriPizza and indeed Iwas correct in that as only Gatso chose it

Successful strategy, allied to a ridiculously underused but powerful memory, combined with weakness as a father and whiny kids had combined to create a perfect storm of my life experience and RSQ

I returned home last night after my seventh final table in ten attempts, though I don't think I have mentioned that anywhere, and was most upset to see my integrity impugned in such a way by those without any integrity, notably Colchester Kev

I chose to illustrate my PiriPiriPizza point by suggesting that I had not ordered PiriPiri Garlic bread or Salad Bowl. This was not intended to convey that either item is available at Dominos merely saying that my answer was seeking to be comprehensive as my memory suggested. Unlike Gatso, who put half an answer.

Furthermore I submit that my later answer "Revolution Road" which was a correct fail is further evidence of no googling, as if I had googled I would have seen the correct name for the film"Revolutionary Road"

I am completely innocent and hereby seek punitive damages in the sum of my owed blonde back pay

I am also disgusted at the lack of respect shown to one who is primus inter pares amongst RSQers

I intend to establish a rival RSQ venture forthwith.

The defence rests

Quite frankly, Mr TightEnd, that is a load of literal waffle.

So, to put it into terms that some might actually read, you defence is...

" I had to feed the children, photographic memory recorded all pizza's"

Yet your photographic memory did not record that I did not, in fact, question your answer of 'Revolution Road'

So, 500 words cut down to 11, and arguing a point that was never raised, Hmmmmm

Also, add to that the additional extra point you just submitted -

Only a Mastermind Semi finalist (no win)
Lost with Egg Heads

Neither could Google be used...

I see a pattern.

Already answered Revolution Road point

I could make my next post longer if it would help?

I did not question the Revolution road point, you introduced it yourself.

Is somebody protesting too much?

Would a shorter reply from myself help you?

surely single updating the GUKPT in Newcastle will be punishment enough..

after seeing the utter joy in his face during the Manchester leg, I think it'll actually be a tad cruel

My rev road point helped prove my case

Shorter replies most welcome, tyvm in advance

[Claw75]

so it's 'rev road' now.  are you developing some form of photographic alzheimer's?  could that explain why you clearly believe you are innocent?  could it be that you forgot that you used google?

[TightEnd]

Anyway its all moot, but sadly not mute in a few cases

I have been found guilty by a selection of my not quite peers

I look forward to appealing against whatever sentence is handed down on the morrow

British Justice? Pffffttttttt.

Good night

Although to respect (or at least pretend to) the defendants rights, perhaps the court should consider the establishing of a Jury of the RSQ community to deliberate and prounounce judgement over the accused. (FHL)

Would the accused please confirm the search engine used to locate the afore moentioned Domino's website?
The rules of RSQ clearly state no googling, so with the accuseds admission of photgraphic memory, then surely it could not have slipped his mind that google was almost certainly used to locate this information. It is of complete irrelevance to the court of any time frame where the information may have been obtained, just that it should not be googled.

Extremely good point, I believe your help with this RSQ trial could counteract any doubt that was previously held about your good self.

Has anyone seen RR?

You would have been good as joint counsel for the State. No doubt there will be more cases sometime in the future.

[HOLDorFOLD]

Sigh Tighty Tighty Tighty - all was going well and I was was about to click the 'non-guilty' button until I read this ...

They went on to explain that they had received a delivery the other night as their mum was too lazy to cook healthy food for them and could I please treat them to similar that weekend?

... so, on behalf of busy worn out mums, who would normally cook their offspring fresh home-cooked meals but chose for one night a week to order a pizza (which is hardly a crime compared to RSQ googling) - I hereby declare that we deliver a vote of GUILTY your honour







(Phew, Thank fook you put that in there or it would have been a not-guilty vote)

Much better than lead counsel actually.

Didn't you spot the third option on the poll? guilty, not guilty or Fold?

[Robert HM]

You have been convicted of the heinous offence of googling in an RSQ quiz, sentence will be pronounced later.

Shame!

[Claw75]

Might I suggest as punishment that tightend be forced, for a period of one week, to have the google logo as his avatar with the caption 'My name is Tightend and I am an RSQ google cheat'
