NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu 05 Jul 2012, 10:20 am

First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.

Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Well done to Ghosty who in the end beat a fellow sheep heavyweight in Superfly fairly comfortably. I should have time for another game.

by **owen10ozzy** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:40 pm

Blimey! Glad I took no part in that...HEEP is excellent!! So difficult....

Was going to play then noticed it was only for fun....!! Don't get involved in those games.

It's like school sports day's now...all done for fun...whats the point?! If it means nothing im not interested!!

Cheers for all your hard work PP..cracking game this! I fear it has has over shadowed mine to the point people are no longer interested in games which are longer than a few minutes lol!

by **superflyweight** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 12:44 pm

I've always liked you, PP.

Thanks Owen. They're completely different games and there are room for both

Seeing as its Friday and this is the last game I'm going to try out Kangaroo. Again it could be rubbish but we'll give it a go.

New questions are up. Its Kangaroo this time. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins.

I've no idea how this will work out but we'll give it a go.

If you ask who is a famous boxer, and I say NASA spacestation, do I get a point? This could be a 10-15 way tie with 10pts each could it not?

Yes you would get a point. But the aim is to guess the incorrect answer that you think everyone else will guess. So if you guess NASA spacestation for every question you're probably not going to win..

by **owen10ozzy** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 1:22 pm

No sean...the answer has to be relevant but not correct. So you want to give an incorrect answer that others would give..

i.e. Name a Vegetarian meal from McDonalds...

Big Mac....its incorrect but fair few people will probably say it.

by paperbag_puncher Fri 13 Jul 2012, 1:50 pm

Only 6 players. I'll extend it until 2:15pm to try get a few more in.

Enjoyed that one. Another interesting take....

I fear you have shot yourself in the foot Paperbag...

At some time you would have run out of questions...now people will just want you to recycle them in the three game formats!

Your going to running this for the rest of your life

Congrats Superflyweight & Bellchees ....Bring that form to the next season and you may just overhaul me!!

Yep Sean you did bottle that one...may have to start calling you Andy Murray always in with a shout but ultimately consistently coming up short
