Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
It's been so long, need to look up the answer myself. Ding Ding Ding! Ah yes. It was 1141 when Lady Matilda, not to be confused with Stephen's wife, Queen Matilda, very nearly was crowned as the new Queen.
Game over. Congratulations Felandria.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
So, I gotta ask. Are the Contestants just lucky, or are some of you under the misunderstanding that you're supposed to look up the answers? Because it's kinda baffling to me that no matter the question, no matter the Square's answers, way too many are choosing to Agree/Disagree correctly.
I just wonder.. if I'm wasting my time asking these questions.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
I consider the idea of anyone just knowing all of the answers to be highly implausible, and any claims to the contrary insulting to my intelligence.
With 50/50 odds, the probability of getting 9 in a row is 1/512. To go two games in a row in that manner is 1/262144. So, no, using agree/disagree instead of a multiple choice format does not explain away the statistical anomaly.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
Well, there was that one answer where I tricked people into misremembering the question (even though it was just the previous post) and got them to get it wrong... but then... well, you guys said that was against the spirit of the game (giving an answer to a similar question, so people misremember) and reversed the decision. But I digress...
Anyway, it's possible people aren't being tricky enough with their wrong answers? Psychology-wise, it's easier to try and trick someone into thinking a wrong answer is right than to trick someone into thinking a right answer is wrong, which in my mind explains the slew of disagrees at the end. It might also have been something where squares thought someone would see so many "disagrees" in a row and choose to instead randomly pick "agree"? Or maybe that it's more fun to try and trick someone with a made-up answer? Who knows? Maybe it was blind luck?
Or it could be that people did indeed know many of the answers. I'm always surprised on Jeopardy with how much people know (and at times how much they don't know!). Something difficult to one person can be extremely easy to another, so it's difficult coming up with difficult questions. Go varied and obscure, and hope people don't know what you know. I for one thought your questions were difficult and interesting. I knew a few but definitely not all of them.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
In my defence, I answered four questions there, one was a guess, another a hunch based of geography and two I already knew the answer to.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
The questions are varied and obscure, which is why it's so incredible that anyone would just happen to know the answers to all of them.
For myself, I make up a weird, random story that's only tangentially related to the question, and whether the answer I give is accurate or not depends on a coin flip; that way nobody knows whether they should agree or disagree based simply on the fact that I'm answering.

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
Just to clarify, I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, though it may sound like I am. I'm not a History Major or anything. I look these things up, bounce from one idea to another allowing links to lead me to other links until I come to something I think is obscure enough to not be common knowledge.
Part of the reason I do this is a bit of a teaching thing. *shrug* I hoping that the Contestants, Squares, and the Audience may be learning a little as they play/watch. So it doesn't 100% bother me. Maybe 7%?

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
I would enjoy playing in some capasity...
78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.The players were attacked individually on the road on the way to town by werewolves. To survive, they had to team up then and there without knowing anything about eachother (literally -- all character sheets were completed without other players' knowledge).

Re: Playground Squares XII: Where the fun never ends. EVER!
You may have noticed that we play a game called Werewolf, here in the Playground. One of the crazier series is Convoy, beginning with Interstating the Obvious. In that game, hosted by everyone's favorite Llama, all the players were asked to not only name a character for themselves, but disclose what kind of vehicle they were driving, and what cargo they hauled.
A lot of them were strange choices indeed. They had a Ninja Chihuahua in a Foodamancer Scary truck () hauling Cookies and Ice Cream. There was Alucard driving a standard truck full of Gravedirt and hauling "not stolen blood, nope". Somehow, I don't believe that one.
But one of my favorites was The Admiral piloting a Battleship. Felandria, the question is: What was the Admiral Hauling?
