The 1FF GameShow Marathon

[Steady]

I was delighted with the lads as we stuck to our game plan early on and they had absolutely no answer, but complacency set in really. We thought we'd won it and we laid off the gas. The lads are devastated in there but we'll bounce back. We've got 14 cup finals from here on in.

Will Pointless rely on who has the quickest internet?

 

[Stevencc]

Ooooh i like Pointless, I'll be on for that, better than watching Hoofball Utd on BBC1 eh Steven?

You could say both endeavours are pointless mate

 

[HarvSFC]

You've almost hit 1000 posts, Jimmy!

You've almost hit 1000 posts, Jimmy!

This bloody game has added 600-700 posts to my post count.

Honestly can't answer that. There is no set order so people could just jump straight in, but talking amongst yourselves first would be beneficial to try and find the lowest scoring answer(s).

So assuming this follows Pointless style rules etc, is it a case of first person who gets the answer wins or could all teams come up with the same lowest answer and all win a point?

No, if someone has already claimed an answer then you would be asked to change it.

 

[Cardsfan]

Should the answers not just be entered in the PM so that its not fastest finger first? Otherwise people cant say the best answer because its already been said, have a fixed order and you have to put the answer in your PM?

 

[JonBCFC]

Only problem with the PM is if 2 teams say the same

 

[Leewilson]

If two teams say the same, then could points not be awarded to both teams?

 

[Spirederman]

Ooh, nice. I do like a game of Pointless, even have it on my phone.

Hope the Chase is included somehow as well, cos as as much as I like Pointless, I do like a bit of Bradley and his Fanny Chmelar.

 

[Rammy]

High chance of entering a tiebreak situation if we do that, which I'd preferably like to avoid. As with the real show, a team will be knocked out after each round.

I'm going to consider answers in PM's though, as I think it could possibly work better behind closed doors.

 

[StagsForLife]

In PMs plus teams have to give two answers. Their answer plus a backup incase someone has claimed that answer?

 

[markpvfc]

Just have teams take it in turn like they do on the show.

 

[HarvSFC]

Just have teams take it in turn like they do on the show.

Yeah, I was hoping for this.

 

[Magic]

Yeah if the categories are broad it'd work like that. If it's "name a country in the UK" then maybe not.

 

[StagsForLife]

Wouldn't surprise me if there is a category called "Players in the Derby County 2014/2015 squad".

Lost is awesome!

That post had to be in here along with the other 70% of them.

 

[TomPNE94]

As I just said in our PM, I love Pointless!

However, I'm starting drinking at about 1 today so will be in no fit state, unless you all want to see some more random letters in a weird order

 

[Veggie Legs]

Yes please.

 

[This Charming Mike]

It's Pointless tonight mate, not Countdown.

 

[InceptiveLemon]

That lemon dude still around or has he disappeared?

Been a bit squeezed for time recently. Seems to have turned sour for L1&AL in my absence. Yellow.

 

[Rammy]

Going to have to push this to 7.15pm. Had the offer on the house formally accepted today (finally), so got a few bits I need to get sorted first.

Cheers.

The GameShow Marathon becomes before buying a house James! Where is your commitment?

 

[SALTIRE]
