I was actually thinking about answering Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow especially after seeing John Oliver's piece about him some years ago and how passionate he is about bycicles (think he tried breaking the world record for the largest cycling parade, iirc) - but then I went with Putin because that's what most would immediately think of, although he is far from being as crazy or authoritarian as Gurbanguly. 
Nice round overall - but should have also gone with Kilimanjaro if we weren't going to stick with the original question.  |

Lol what a bs round for me but short rant:
Mont Blanc and Kilimanjaro are literally climbed every day. In what way is Egypt more developed, their capitol is a literal shithole that their govt wants to leave behind. Don't understand what is crazy about Putin, just plays the long term and doesnt take shit from the hypocritical west.
Hopefully I can do better in the next rounds.

Sure, Putin is more of a sane dictator, but he seemed the obvious choice, especially since the next question was about Russia. Good to hear that everybody's watching John Oliver! Croatia maybe should have phrased the mountain question differently. The "you can't climb" seems to make it personal, because people in general can climb Everest (and K2). I personally can't climb any mountain and Kilimanjaro was just the first example to spring to mind.

That exactly was the intention behind this question, to leave room for both ways of interpretation. I liked Olympus Mons as an answer the most, but I expected Kilimanjaro to win and would've probably gone for Annapurna myself. |

It's unbelievable to me that people actually went for REAL MOUNTAINS. I thought Brokeback Mountain was gonna win for sure

My worst round so far but still in the lead. Uluru probably the best answer this round.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

It's fun to take some rounds seriously Dropping only 2 points, and when my answers were on Mars and an MG #ad i'm very happy!

Woah! I actually won a round with top answers! That is a crazy turn of events. Looking forward to hardcore regression now, but nice to know I'm not as dumb as I've been making myself out to be.

Agreed, bonus points for Annapurna!
Sad to see how I'm doing so terrible, getting close to five pointers without trying

PM me your answers until 8PM daily time on Friday, Tuesday 23rd.
I assume you meant Tuesday, but it could go the other way and we could have months of waiting ahead of us

Putin isn't really a dictator, they do have elections in Russia. I also thought of Kilimanjaro first but didn't think it would be chosen as it is climbed quite a lot. Other than that decent round for me but should've gone for Kazakhstan.

I'm with stupid 2021 - Game 2, Round 4: Sad Stories
We advance to darker days before brigthening the lights in the last round. Let's watch the "Sad Stories".
1. Name a movie the world doesn't need.
Yeah well, plenty of those on offer. Unsurprisingly though, Cats takes the drown, with Twilight also not being a shocker at all on the 2nd place. Marvel got plenty of hate with 2 choosing "every Marvel movie" and one more mentioning that he should've answered that way. Special mentions to some more classics like Titanic, Avatar and Fast & Furious. I don't know jandal's Princess Bride Remake and at this point I'm scared of it.
Spoiler | Cats | 5 | | Twilight | 3 | | every Marvel movie | 2 | | Avatar | 1 | | Fast and Furious | 1 | | Bambi | 1 | | Princess Bride Remake | 1 | | Jaws | 1 | | 50 Shades of Grey | 1 | | Se7en | 1 | | Avengers | 1 | | M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender | 1 | | Star Wars Episode IX | 1 | | Titanic | 1 |
2. Name something that goes missing more often than you like.
I expected a lot more cohesive answers and this one to be the least distributed one, but many went for personal things. Of materialistic ones the keys were by far the most used answes, with surprisingly only one answer for socks (and quasdas stating that it'll win, but going for his more personal choice in his big black dildo). Even some love for cyclistst who always go missing at the very wrong places when it matters.
Spoiler | Keys | 5 | | My Motivation | 2 | | basic human decency | 2 | | Pen Cap | 1 | | Holidays | 1 | | TV remote | 1 | | Mekseb Debesay | 1 | | my shots in a football game | 1 | | pcm.daily servers | 1 | | Nairo Quintana | 1 | | my big black dildo | 1 | | Health | 1 | | The will to live | 1 | | Socks | 1 | | Wallet | 1 |
3. Name your celebrity crush (even if he/she doesn't answer your DMs).
As you can imagine, this was the most enjoyable question to gather results for. I feared that we have many different answes, but I take jduging the taste of the people here over a good distribution. Scarlett Johansson takes this one well deserved, Natalie Portman also does well. Sadly we didn't have trekbmc competing, otherwise Christophe Laporte would've had multiple mentions as well. I also had some fun researching the names I didn't know before, such as Lana Condor or Jodie Comer. While Bevonce and Mila Kunis seem like 5 years too late, I love the mention of roturn here.
Spoiler | Scarlett Johansson | 3 | | Natalie Portman | 2 | | Anna Kendrick | 1 | | Christophe Laporte | 1 | | Emma Watson | 1 | | Uma Thurman | 1 | | Jodie Comer | 1 | | Esteban Chaves | 1 | | Beyonce | 1 | | I don't drink famous people. | 1 | | Lisa Mayer | 1 | | Lana Condor | 1 | | roturn | 1 | | Marina (and the Diamonds) | 1 | | Anna Faris | 1 | | Alberto Contador | 1 | | Cobie Smulders | 1 | | Mila Kunis | 1 |
4. Name someone/something that emits more Carbondioxide than it should.
We take a quick turn to darker topics, this time stuff that destroys our planet. Cars as the obvious choice takes a commanding win, though the recent shift to electric cars does leave me with some hope. The United States as second highest answer alongside humans hits the nail on its head though, especially looking at the past presedency which sums up both points well. Etna was a spectacularly neat answer here, while TMMs and knockouts answers futher strengthen the previous point. knandesbunzler26 did a good job answering nothing and earning a bonus point for good explanation: my motivation to work, Nothing, as everything emits exactly as much Carbondioxide as the chemical reactions allow to.
Spoiler | Cars | 6 | | Humans | 2 | | USA | 2 | | Lewis Hamilton | 1 | | my neighbours | 1 | | Cows | 1 | | Me after a 400m | 1 | | Nothing | 1 | | Rudy Guiliani | 1 | | Etna | 1 | | deforestation | 1 | | a bicycle | 1 | | Airplanes | 1 | | Texans trying to stay warm | 1 |
5. Name an endangered species humanity caused most problems for.
Finally we're talking about the second darker question about our planets future, this time about endangered species. This time it's one for the Pandas, which probably comes from the scenes of burning forests in Australasia. Whales, which would've been my choice due to plastic pollution, is followed by (Siberian) Tigers. Much love for alle the mentioned animals, especially the Schalke04-Bundesliga Players which should be top of the red extinction danger list atm.
Spoiler | Pandas | 5 | | Whales | 3 | | Tigers | 2 | | Elephants | 1 | | Koalas | 1 | | Bison | 1 | | Kea | 1 | | too many to choose | 1 | | Schalke 04 Bundesliga Players | 1 | | Orang Utans | 1 | | my libido | 1 | | All of Them | 1 | | Humans | 1 | | Polar Bears | 1 |
Who managed to score well this round? It's again cunego59 taking his second crown, doing very well over the course of this questions. Bbl, Marco and jseadog coming close within 2 points though, heating up the race for the title. Ollfahrd, bikex and Scatmaster also set themselves apart from the field in the upper half. Down at the bottom this time it's another 5-pointer for jandal and quasdas, with Nemolito and a couple of others narrowly "avoiding" one.
| cunego59 | 20 | | baseballlover312 | 19 | | jseadog | 18 | | Marcovdw | 18 | | Ollfahrd | 17 | | Bikex | 16 | | Scatmaster111 | 14 | | redordead | 11 | | Ripley | 11 | | FreitasPCM | 10 | | Vali | 10 | | Shonak | 9 | | AbhishekLFC | 8 | | kandesbunzler26 | 8 | | df_Trek | 7 | | alexkr00 | 6 | | knockout | 6 | | TheManxMissile | 6 | | Nemolito | 6 | | jandal7 | 5 | | quasdas | 5 |
Eventhough he won this round, it's not enough for cunego to take the lead though. Ollfahrd leads the race with 3 points ahead of him, making him the favourite. Marcovdw had a good round and is now in 3rd, but already 9 points behind. After a less successful round, Freitas is back in 4th, still in touch with the podium. Bbl, jseadog, Vali, bikex and scatmaster are all in a span of 4 points to fight for the top5, so everything is possible for the last round.
