Yes, I noticed the edit message. Which I took to mean as they were wrong before which the editing was done to correct them.

 

what? I didn't correct them in the edit.

 

Eevil you didn't score in round 8 so you only got one point in round nine... If you're complaining about the other scoreboard then note it says "up to round 7".

 

I've not edited those scores to account for all the 2-pt scorers, but the results of that round were

 

Answers:

 

1) Post your Meaningless Post of The Day (Motion)

2) Ashley (Shadowv7)

3) General ChitChat (Cube)

4) Your top 5 (EchoDesiato)

5) Wii Discussion (My Buttons are magic)

6) Guitar Hero (Owario)

7) Other Consoles (Fresh)

[Hellfire]

Yeah those are wrong I answered the one with the weird name which was worth two points and motion broke the rules on that one. I also answered one in the latest round, so I should have 3 points in round 9 and 8 combined.

[jayseven]

LIKE I SAID. I didn't do it PROPERLY. shut up and do it yourself.

[Shorty]

Alright it's become apparent that the other people posting rounds have been quite naughty, not following their own rounds or adding the scores at the end. Maybe I'll do the rest of the quiz myself....

[Hellfire]

LIKE I SAID. I didn't do it PROPERLY. shut up and do it yourself.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Edit by Supergrunch: Stop answering as many as you can, read the rules.

[Supergrunch]

14:point and click

You can only answer one, which answer do you want me to accept?

 

Oh I see a new round is up!

 

9. Something to do with sanskrit? (sp?)

Same to you.

[weeyellowbloke]

8. "Uh, I think there are some people in our nation who don't really have maps..... I believe that our education, ummm places like South Africa and Iraq, everywhere such as.... uh....... our education here in the US should help the US...uh...places like South Africa and Iraq and the asian countries to help build up our future."

 

Possibly the most confusing answer to a question I've ever heard, not quite sure what Iraq and South Africa have to do with it. To be fair it was quite a hard question and it was probably quite nerve wracking, poor girl.

[mcj metroid]

You can only answer one, which answer do you want me to accept?

 

 

Same to you.

 

hmmm the second one

[Supergrunch]

13; Quentin Crisp?

...correct!

 

16:Simon Pegg

Correct!

 

Anyway guys, stop answering multiple questions, it gives other people the answers... if you're right.

[Daft]

Damn...ok No. 20...because I know it right!

 

But I'd still like to propose this for 8!

 

"Because Americans are in some way able to see that other places like in Iraq look to America and people see that....Everyone should know that there are places that America isn't and if you look education is important and children need to read more better unlike Iraq in America............AND world peace." - It was about as coherent as that!
