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

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 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

any chance of a stewards enquiry on the JMM scoring?

by **owen10ozzy** Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:00 pm

Tophat - Since the first line reads born Herbert Hardwick I would assume it's correct.

As Paperbag said...its a game so not losing sleep over it....just not a big fan of being labelled something im not.

Imperial - In between running the OMPL and doing my job all I usually want to do when I am on here is have a little fun...which this game helps me do. Since im writing about Sport for on average 7 hours a day it's nice to just get away from my own views and read others.

I would contribute alot more but from my past experience many very good articles which are posted on here usually turn into the same arguments & petty bickering of which I don't wish to be part of.

I do read alot of posts from our biggest boxing buffs however and like to think I pick stuff up.

I think if you read some of the posts I do put you would see that I contribute in an intellectual manner and always support my views. Something I couldn't do if I didnt have any knowledge of the sport.

Just for you however I shall keep my eye open for posts by yourself and get involved in them a little more

Paperbag -I know it was pal....wasn't directed at you. Think most people said it in jest to begin with...all got a bit more serious since. As I said dont mind answers being disqualified if you see fit...just dont like being labelled as a cheat. Im sure many would feel the same.

By the way this HEEP does look brutal. Would love to be involved in one but after this one im not sure many people will be keen to play again lol!

You got 2 points for Amir Khan as all the aces in that question were the joint second top answer. So 7 points is right

by compelling and rich Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:02 pm

joint second both get points though? i dont like heep, nothing to do with me being really rubbish at it Whistle

by mobilemaster8 Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:02 pm

Heep is turning out to be VERY interesting.......

You said he was entered in IBHOF as Herbert Hardwick, which is incorrect, he is entered as Cocoa Kid, or to be more precise - Kid, Cocoa.

Lads read what I wrote above the JMM answer. This tool does all the scoring and it seems to work fine. I'm just figuring out the rules as I go along but it looks ok.

Ignore that I'll fit one more game in. Its going to be Heep again I'm afraid and we'll conclude season 1 with normal sheep tomorrow.

You are very welcome, just to warn you that I won't be around tomorrow so you might have to update it yourself!

Driving down to the in-laws for the weekend. They don't have BoxNation so I'll miss all the fun. At least I'll get to lose heavily at golf though...
