I'm with stupid - Season 2013
A new year, a new season of the popular PCM.Daily game "I'm with stupid". A few of you might already know the game, some may even have participated in last year's rounds. For those who haven't, here are the rules:
Spoiler One game consists of five rounds with five questions each, posed by the respective game host. The questions follow the pattern "Name a ... ", the answers will be sent via PM to either the game host, jseadog1 or me (not randomly, it'll be announced at the respective round). The goal for the participants is to give an answer that they think most other participants will give as well! An example:
Question:
Name a colour!
Answers:
9x Red
6x Blue
3x Yellow
1x Orange
Everyone who answered "Red" gets nine points, six points for "Blue" etc.
Note that you can give an incorrect answer as well, so you could answer that question with "Table" as well, for instance. Whether that makes sense or not is up to you, so if you think you actually are with stupid and most people will name "Table" as a colour, just go ahead!
As said above, the game host will post a total of five rounds with five questions respectively. Usually, each round has a theme, for instance TV, cycling, movies, etc. It's not mandatory, though. The participant with most points after Round 5 wins the game and gets to be the host for the next round. If he doesn't want to, a volunteer can take his place.
The main goal for the participants are of course to win the single games. However, jseadog1 will keep record of every game and will run an overall ranking, adding everyone's result from every single round and game to a total standing. This double system should ensure that both members who won't have the time or the will to participate in every round have the motivation of single game wins, as well as the long time participants will get their reward for consistent competing.

Good to have this back! I really enjoyed it last year.
Sent my answers, but I'm not expecting much. I'm not at all interested in NBA or Super Bowl, so I just picked a random team. Also, I now realise that my football knowledge has started to fade away, along with my interest. Went with a pure guess.

Round 1: Sports - Evaluation
29 members sent me their answers, and here's how it went:
Question 1: Name an NBA Team:
The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be the predominant team in the perception of most people around here. 12 participants named them, five more than the current champion, Miami Heat (7).
Spoiler 3x Chicago Bulls
2x Dallas Mavericks
1x LA Clippers
1x San Antonio Spurs
1x Philadelphia
1x Boston Celtics
1x Oklahoma City Thunder
Question 2: Name a type of winter sports:
To be honest, I had hoped you'd be more creative than "Skiing" But well, it was my fault for not demanding something more specific. Hence, Skiing is the Top answer with 12 namings. Ice Hockey with 5 and Ice Skating with 3 couldn't come close.
Spoiler 2x Snowboard
2x Biathlon
2x Curling
1x Bobsled
1x Cyclocross (??)
1x Ski Jumping
Question 3: Name a 2012 Olympic Champion:
The most balanced question. Three answers are relatively close. Superman Usain Bolt (10) surpasses the cycling gold medalists Alexandre Vinokourov (7) and Bradley Wiggins (6). Interesting outcome for a cycling forum.
Spoiler 3x Michael Phelps
1x Marianne Vos
1x Maris Strombergs
1x Chen Ding
Question 4: Name a football club that has never been national champion:
Presumably the question with the most diverse answers. Only four clubs were mentioned more than once. On top are two English clubs: Fulham (4) and, interestingly, FC Liverpool, winner of no less than 18 titels. One of the participants explicitely hoped for the ignorance of others (well played), we don't know about the other two... Further clubs with more than one answer: Queens Park Rangers and SC Braga (both 2).
Spoiler 1x each:
Aston Villa
AFC Southhamption
FC Schalke
Tottenham Hotspur
Roda JC Kerkrade
FC Villareal
Wimbledon FC
Swansea City
SC Recife (apparently some kind of joke none of us will get anyway  )
Udinese Calcio
Stoke City
Plymouth Argyle
Seattle Sounders
KAA Gent
SC Heerenveen
AC Fiorentina
Vitesse Arnheim
FC Utrecht
Question 5: Name a Super Bowl winner:
It quickly became clear that the New York Giants would be the top answer of this entire round. 15 participants named 2012 champion. Only the Green Bay Packers could somewhat keep up (7). Surprisingly, record champion Pittsburgh Steelers can only count three mentions.
Spoiler 3x New England Patriots
1x Tampa Bay Buccaneers
That gives us the following first overall ranking:
| 1 | Teddy The Creator | 52 | | 2 | FroomeDog99 | 50 | | 3 | SweatyViking | 47 | | 4 | ikaros33 | 46 | | dienblad | 46 | | 6 | cactus-jack | 42 | | jesleyh | 42 | | 8 | Bilex | 40 | | 9 | baseballlover312 | 39 | | 10 | Mresuperstar | 38 | | Eden95 | 38 |
Teddy is only one point short of a perfect round, Marcovd only one point away from a flawless 5 points. But who could have predicted that someone else would name curling as well, right? SweatyViking misses out on the top place by mentioning Heat and not the Lakers, cactus-jack befalls the same fate by choosing Snowboarding over Skiing.
But the tables can well be turned in round two:
I'm with stupid 2013 - cunego59's Round 2
Animals
They are all around us, and, well, we are one as well after all. So why not make a round about them?
1. Name a particularly big animal.
There are big ones, there are small ones, and there are those who frighten us:
2. Name an animal many people are affraid of - except for spiders!
But in contrary to those, there are also lots of little (or bigger) creatures that warm our hearts:
3. Name an animal that is typically characterized as cute.
Since ages, human uses animals on various occasions:
4. Name a domesticated animal.
Animals can also serve representative purposes:
5. Name an animal that is often used as a symbol / icon / emblem.
You'll have time to send me your answers until wednesday (30.01.), 18:00 CET.
