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

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

game 3:

game 4:

game 5:

game 6:

game 7:

game 8:

game 9:

game 10:

Can you please PM your answers on their own in an unnumbered list. So without the questions or numbers beside them. Thanks it makes the calculating much easier thumbsup

technically audley won a world title. WBF

Surely that should count as an incorrect answer and be marked down then? Wink

bhb001 you must have overtaken Blunkett as the worst player in sheep history by now? Speaking of Blunkett has he retired since his shameful antics a while ago?

Think I am in with a shout for that title, 15+ games and nothing higher than 4th furious

by bhb001 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:19 pm

My worst game yet. And I do play to win!!

Thanks for the fun, PP. Greatly appreciated on this wet day

by **seanmichaels** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:20 pm

Good game, good game.

by **Union Cane** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:21 pm

I won the Scrabble question, I'll settle for that.

by quentins_monkey Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:22 pm

Thanks for doing this game PP - has really made the day go quicker...

I'm still showing as 2 wins on the leaderboard though... Wink

by bhb001 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:22 pm

I think the first 9 questions let me down, but I finished strongly!!

by **superflyweight** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:22 pm

any chance of another? I've missed the last few games and am determined to at least flirt with victory in Tina's absence!

by **seanmichaels** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:23 pm

Chris De Burgh though Union.

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:25 pm

After the shock of winning the previous game its back to the more familiar surroundings of bottom half for me.... Though there really should be some sort of forfeit brought in for finishing below BHB and Mobilemaster who seem even more consistent than me.

by TopHat24/7 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:26 pm

'won'

I think the shame is enough of a forfeit

I couldn't commit to another game I'm afraid. I technically could be here till 6pm but I usually get off early Fridays and don't wanna start a game and then head off in the middle of it. Union loves running the games though...

by **superflyweight** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:37 pm

No problem PP. I really shoudl be doing some work anyway!

by mobilemaster8 Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:44 pm

Yeh Union!! Post some questions! Im here until 5!

by **Union Cane** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:48 pm

I'd be here all night if I did, bit snowed under unfortunately.

If someone else wants to run a game they are most welcome!

I could probably do one if the answers can be back in by 2:30...

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 2:00 pm

I could have my answers in no problem.

by quentins_monkey Fri 06 Jul 2012, 2:01 pm

Ok will continue with the surname questions that union did yesterday... Smile

by quentins_monkey Fri 06 Jul 2012, 2:10 pm

Have put the questions up on a separate thread (wasn't sure how to merge with this one)... Smile

by Il Gialloblu Fri 06 Jul 2012, 2:15 pm

Like it.

I'm surprised it was an ace.

by **owen10ozzy** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 3:21 pm

Just come in and seen this....

No cries of a fix from me Union, happy just to be back up at the top. Could not believe I finished bottom...although to be fair I was pretty drunk when I came in and sent you my answers at 1.30 this morning! Not quite sure why I was even expecting a good result when I woke up this morning.

As for the Sergio Martinez question.....Ethan Hawke is definitely the best shout go check it out on google (would host image but dont know how, uncanny resemblance though

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 3:37 pm

Would be willing to host a game before home time if anybody is interested.... Although only with PP's permission of course?

by PF4EC Fri 06 Jul 2012, 5:19 pm

I come home to find this?! 3rd? Aye right. Conspiracy.

by PF4EC Fri 06 Jul 2012, 5:21 pm

Don't worry I'll learn to beat the "system" one day.

by paperbag_puncher Mon 09 Jul 2012, 10:05 pm

New questions are up for tomorrow.

NOTE THIS IS REVERSE SHEEP SO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE MOST UNIQUE ANSWER. INCORRECT ANSWERS WILL BE NEGATIVELY MARKED. INTERNET USE IS NOT PERMITTED

NOTE THE HONOURS LIST HAS BEEN WIPED CLEAN. FOR NOW ON I WILL RUN THE GAME IN SHORT SEASONS CONSISTING OF 10 GAMES. WHOEVER HAS WON THE MOST GAMES AFTER 10 GAMES WILL BE CROWNED THE WINNER. IF THERE IS A TIE WE WILL PLAY ANOTHER GAME UNTILL A WINNER IS CROWNED.

Any questions let me know.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon 09 Jul 2012, 10:15 pm

Hiya Pal,

Just read your new idea on the game. Love it...league over 10 games sounds fantastic. Was just thinking of a quick idea to add to it...how about points for first 6 positions in each game:

i.e. 1=10pts 2=6pts 3=4pts 4=3pts 5=2pts 6=1pt

I know this may add a little more work on your behalf (although id imagine not to much) but just thought it was an idea worth sharing.

Your game so obviously if you dont wish too/dont think its a good idea no problemo. As I say just a thought I had and sure you will agree always good to get feedback on any game etc.

You have been doing a cracking job with it so far so keep up the good work and cheers for taking the time do this.

Regards

by mobilemaster8 Mon 09 Jul 2012, 10:20 pm

Bravo Owen.

Could not agree more. My days are actually good at work now (which is rare).

Thanks for the great work pp. I tried my first game today with 6 players and struggled!!

by paperbag_puncher Mon 09 Jul 2012, 10:34 pm

Good idea Owen I'll incorporate it tomorrow thumbsup

by bellchees Mon 09 Jul 2012, 10:42 pm

Nice job wiping the leader board it was getting embarrassing being the only person not on there.

by compelling and rich Tue 10 Jul 2012, 8:17 am

my hatrick of wins has gone Sad

anyway my answers are in, never played reserve sheep before always missed them.

for the obsure answers ive thought of ive helped out PP by putting a description to help him out when finding out its right or not, just a suggestion that others could do, the less time he spends checking answers the more sheep we can play!!

Reverse sheep is so tough, if you're not doing a Blunkett, getting a headache already!

by TopHat24/7 Tue 10 Jul 2012, 9:33 am

PP - are there meant to be 11 questions rather than 10?

by paperbag_puncher Tue 10 Jul 2012, 9:38 am

TopHat24/7 wrote:PP - are there meant to be 11 questions rather than 10?

I didn't mean to put in 11 questions but I did so yeah there are 11 in this round to be answered..

by quentins_monkey Tue 10 Jul 2012, 9:39 am

Answers in... don't know if they're even all correct but some good questions... won't be able to play after today for about a week as I'm off on holiday tomorrow.. Smile

On a separate note surely everyone who had already won 3 times (ahem..) should be placed in a "Hall of Fame"... Wink
