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 the honor of asking the new questions.
Spoiler I just copied this from cunego59. I hope he does not care

And as you have waited long enough for the result of the first round in the new game here it is:
1. Name a Six Nations try scoring rugby player
2. Name a country that never won the mens elite football world cup
3. Name a skiing world champion
4. Name a long distance runner
5. Name a sailor
1. Name a Six Nations try scoring rugby player
Alex Cubbert is the most named rugby player being mentioned 4 times. Johnny Wilkinson brings you 2 points and Ronan O'Gara, Keith Gleeson, Brian O'Driscoll, George North and Leigh Halfpenny were named once. Everyone who named one of then is lucky that wrong answers can also bring you points because as baseballlover correctly says: It's impossible to be from six nations.
2. Name a country that never won the mens elite football world cup
Some of you did not liked the answer they gave but it turned out that the Netherlands were the best answer (6pts). Belgium was named twice just as the United States. Also Canada and Brunei were mentioned.
3. Name a skiing world champion
American Ted Ligety was the most popular answer here after winning three gold medals in Schladming. (4pts) Aksel Lund Svindal brought you 2 points while legend Bode Miller, injuried Lindsey Vonn, Klaus Ostwald, Thomas Morgenstern were only named once. Some interesting answers were given but unfortunately Michael "Eddie the Eagle" Edwards and Baseballlover312's uncle were never world champion although they were very close to it. (correct me if i'm wrong)
4. Name a long distance runner
Mo Farrah was one of the biggest stars of the 2012 olympic games in London were he dominated the 5,000m and the 10,000m. 6 participants reminded that when writing their answers. A big star is also Bekele who got 2 mentions. Wilson Kipsang, Geoffrey Mutai, Salah Hissou and Flash were named once.
5. Name a sailor
Obviously, Ben Aislie was the most named one (4) but behind him nobody was able to get 2 mentions. There is a very wide spread amount of answers which starts with Russell Couts, James Spithall or Nick Dempsey, continues with Simpson and van Rijselberghe and finish with Captain Pugwash, Captain Hook and Blackbeard.
With 4/5 top answers SSJ2Luigi wins the first round in 2014. The Hobbit is runner-up being two points behind and marcovdw, dippofix and myself are on a three-way tie for third.
On the other of the score sheat there are two participants who scored the perfect 5 but i think we will hear that TMM calls baseballlover's answers as cheating..
Marcovdw can now send me the new questions (via pm!)

Only three of his answers were cheating. Canada does play football and Captain Hook was a sailor...

So cheating in 3/5 of the round is not cheating?

are you kidding me, I find these questions great, they might be random but the minimal amount of answers possible for a question is like 6,7 (more then the usual amount of answers given) |

just resend them if you feel it would be better for you.
It's not much work for me and others did that in the last game, too.
for SSJ2Luigi:
for question 1 there are currently 4 different answers
for question 2 there are currently 5 different answers
for question 3 there are currently 5 different answers
for question 4 there are currently 6 different answers
for question 5 there are currently 9 different answers
but no top answer is less worthy than 3 points
(12 participants)
Spoiler i hope it is okay that i publish those numbers already

Let's hit some random keys at your keyboard!
1 Name a letter (A-Z)
2 Name a number on your keyboard (0-9)
3 Name a punctuation mark
4 Name a function key (F1-F12)
5 Name an other key which does not fit into one of the categories
1. Name a letter (A-Z)
Many of you thought easy here and chosed the first letter of the alphabet (7). The letters E and F still brought you 2 points while K and N were only mentioned once.
2. Name a number on your keyboard (0-9)
In this question we have 3 very equal answers with "0" and "1" being mentioned 4 times and "7" mentioned three times. Only "3" and "8.8" are mentioned once. (What a strange keyboard TMM seems to have..)
3. Name a punctuation mark
The point/dot/period is the most named answer with a total of 10 answers. Eszett, " ' "and " ; " are named only once.
4. Name a function key (F1-F12)
F1 was mentioned 6 times while F4 got you 3 points. F2,F5,F7,F12 were all mentioned once.
5. Name an other key which does not fit into one of the categories
The most wide spread amount of answers. Enter is the most common answer (3) while Delete, @, Apostroph and Space Bar were named twice. Not much love for Shift and the DVD Player Button.
Two participants scored a perfect round (Dippofix and myself) while baseballlover312, sieve and jseadog1 missed it by one point after not chosing Enter in question 5. On the lower end of the ranking there are two with a one-digit score but noone got the perfect 5.
How does the Overall Ranking looks now?
If we look back a round then we saw SSJ2Luigi taking the lead ahead of The Hobbit. Nobody of them was able to stay at the very top of the ranking. Instead, only TMM is behind The Hobbit. Meanwhile, Dippofix and myself are sharing the lead with a small advantage over sieve.

I actually have an 8.8 button, an Eszett button and a DVD Player button! I love custom keyboards. I also have 4.4, 44, 444 and 4444 as unique buttons.
Not sad about the 6, as F was randomly generated rather than chosen

Yeah I broke the 5  I only chose F as it tied in with the name a function button question and thought more people would think the same.
