So this game ran out of steam back in May following a decline in interest and some poor management of how it was run. Seemed like the remaining players thought it would be good to have a break until around Le Tour, and seeing La Vuelta has now passed i thought it was time to give it another go!
One game consists of Five Rounds of questions, each Round has five questions that are 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, or me (it'll be made clear at the start respective round which one). 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 the honor of asking the new questions.
If after 3 days the Winner hasn't started a new round, or given a time when the new round will start, then 2nd Place can start the next round. After two more days 3rd place can start. After that time (5 days) anyone can claim the round and start.
Spoiler I just copied this from knockout who copied it from cunego59 and then made some small edits. I hope they do not care

Blame my new laptop for the spelling, i'm still getting used to the keyboard.
Anyway... We are up to 17 participants! I'd call this a solid re-boot

The game only takes a few minutes to search the winners on Wikipedia. Anyway, you could have done this game even 3 days ago..
