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

Hooorrraayyyy!! Yahoo

10 Points!! Get in...I like this game..More of them please.

Paperbag - If answers have to be incorrect surely you just put anything at all?..p.s If work have kept you late (and I hope they have a little bit)...any chance of rounding of season 1?!

If I can step in there, you can of course put anything you like, but the idea is to put the same incorrect answer as other players. You could just put "Orange" for every answer but you wouldn't score many points.

by mobilemaster8 Thu 12 Jul 2012, 4:07 pm

Owen is one of a kind and has smashed the table so far. Definately not cheating at anything, especially reverse sheep "No Internet" game............ Whistle

by paperbag_puncher Thu 12 Jul 2012, 4:11 pm

The questions for the finale of Season 1 are now up. Its NORMAL SHEEP. Deadline is 10.00AM tomorrow morning.

For the initials questions I could think of at least 5 answers for each one so think carefully.

Union is spot on with the kangaroo rules. I'm not even sure what kind of questions I could make for that where people have a decent chance of getting the same incorrect answer but I'll give it a go next week.

Good luck to all.

by **owen10ozzy** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 4:16 pm

Union - Got you! I did wonder what the point of it would have been so cheers for clearing it up.

Sean - I have to say I would be dubious if I was you..finishing just outside of the points all the time is annoying. I have learnt that you go on a run in this game...

In the original format I couldn't buy a win...lots of 2nd & 3rd places...and I would cry foul play all the time..as Paperbag could verify lol!.

Mobilemaster - Haha - :Be as sceptical as you like..I have succeeded in all formats...!! One more and Im the ultimate champion king

by paperbag_puncher Fri 13 Jul 2012, 8:47 am

Questions for the season finale are up. Deadline is 10am and this will be the last official game until next week. Might do some more today but they won't count towards the league table.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 8:55 am

I can't get Glen Close out of my mind for the 1st one......
