It's been more than a year since IWS was active on the forum. For me, that's too damn long! With the winter lull now taking effect, time to try and resurrect a classic Daily game.
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.
I just copied this from myself, who copied it from knockout, who copied it from cunego59 and then made some small edits. [/quote]

20 sets of answers already! It's so great to see there is such a genuine level of interest in this game still. The problem now is, you lot have got to keep this up over at least 5 rounds

Good thread.In as well.
My answers aren't always the people I like.Playing it strategically and writing the person that should have the most votes.The game was like that,right? |

1) Name a USA Presidential Candidate
Well there was one answer, the D-Man. Does this mean he'll win on Tuesday? Yes, i think we've just proved he'll win with 90% of the vote.
I'm also counting Joe Exotic as incorrect just to stop Jandal being an idiot in the future.
Spoiler Donald Trump x28
Darrell Castle x1
Joe Exotic x1
Emidio Soltysik x1
2) Name a superhero film released in 2016
Another run away winner for the greatest Valentines Day release of all time, Deadpool. DC not far behind with Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman scoring 6 and 5. X-Men and Civil War only 1 point, did not see that coming!
And Jandal gets another incorrect for Lombardia...
Spoiler Deadpool x15
Suicide Squad x6
BVS x5
Lazer Team x1
A Flying Jatt x1
X-Men x1
Civil War x1
Lombardia 2016 x1
3) Name a non-cycling Olypmic Gold Medalist
Of course there was only going to be one winner, the biggest athletics star of all time. Usain Bolt romping clear of the field with 20 points. The greatest of all time was only second, Michael Phelps way down with just 5. Mo Farah picking up 2 from two brits.
Jandal wrong again, Natalie Rooney only netting a Silver Medal.
Spoiler Usain Bolt x20
Michael Phelps x5
Mo Farah x2
Lasse Svan Hansen x1
Melanie Leupolz x1
Natalie Rooney x1
Shi Zhiyong x1
4) Name a celebrity who died in 2016
Enduring Fame for the Starman, David Bowie (get it?). 17 scored for Ziggy. Prince showing singers are popular with 5. Muhammad Ali 4 points, had hoped for more.
I'm counting Pauls Batz Benzer wrong because Google doesn't know who he is, so clearly isn't a Celebrity.
Spoiler David Bowie x17
Prince x5
Muhammad Ali x4
Bryan Clauson x1
Batz Benzer x1
Alan Rickman x1
Kenny Baker x1
Issa Bagayogo x1
5) Name a rider who won a WWT race or stage
Lizzie Deignan coming out way ahead of the field, as usual, with 15. Anna van der Breggen picking up 3 and Marianne Vos getting 2. And our WWT Winner, Megan Guarnier, also getting 2.
Not sure what bbl was on with Chris Froome, and last i checked, jseadog, Boels-Dolmans isn't a rider.
Spoiler Lizzie Deignan x15
Anna van der Breggen x2
Marianne Vos x2
Megan Guarnier x2
Tiffany Cromwell x1
Kristen Wild x1
Boels-Dolmans x1
Evelyn Stevens x1
Leah Kirchmann x1
Chris Froome x1
Jolien d'Hoore x1
Chloe Hosking x1
Emma Johansson x1
So what does all this mean score wise? 5 perfect rounds from: Kiserlovski, LWThrax, lakebeach, Selwink and sammyt93. 8 people only missing one top answer. And 2 fully correct 5 pointers. I think the next round needs to be harder!

Top answers on all but one, whatever Deadpool is. Not altogether the toughest round though, I'm waiting for the next to fall down the rankings
Thanks TMM!

Well WWT is so irrelevant I just forgot what it meant altogether.
Then you got Usain Bolt which I guess is fair. Phelps got way more media coverage over here so that was probably the American bias setting in. Still, 5 gold medals usually beats 3, you would think.
Now somehow people remember a movie that came out like almost a whole year ago ago over the most hyped film of the summer. I really don't get that one. Defies all the logic of I'm With Stupid.
Definitely some conspiring behind the scenes here by some people. Most of these answers should be much more evenly split. i call cheats!
