Alright, well, I guess we need to start another round! So, I quite like the previous idea of going for a certain theme, so I'm going to stick with that, and make this one gaming-themed! (I'm too lazy to change the avatar, though. xD)
So, without further ado, here's our questions! And I'll try to make them a bit less open to a huge variety of answers this time.
This feud will resolve at (approximately) whatever point comes later - one week from posting it, or 48 hours without any new answers being received.
Standard Scoring1. Name a handheld console that is not made by Nintendo.
2. Name a digital download provider of video games.
3. Name a gaming platform for which the games generally are on DVD discs.
4. Name a series of RPG games.
5. Name a series of first-person shooter games.
6. Name a company that formerly made consoles but does not anymore.
7. Name an IRS game that is not in the Lemmings series. (EDIT: IRS basically means "Lemmings-like")
8. Name a game / series primarily based around music.
9. Name a game in the Lemmings series other than the original Lemmings itself.
10. Name a non-directional button you might find on a console controller.
Non-Standard Scoring11. You are developing a game for a Playstation system. You want to add a cheat code that does... something awesome; what it does is not important here. The code is to be four buttons long, using only the X, Square, Triangle and Circle buttons. You may use the same button more than once.
Scoring:
- For each position where no one else picked the same button as you, you gain 0.5 points.
- If any button appears twice in your code, you lose 0.25 points. (If you have two buttons that both appear twice, eg. if your code is X, Square, X, Square, you lose 0.5)
- If any button appears three times in your code, you lose 0.75 points. (This is instead of, not in addition to, the penalty for it appearing twice.)
- If two (or more) people have three positions where both have the same button (eg: X, Square, Circle, Square; vs X, Triangle, Circle, Square), both lose 1 point.
- If two (or more) people have exactly the same code, both lose 2 points (instead of the three-same penalty, not as well as it).
** There is no extra penalty for having the same button four times; just the same as the penalty for having it three times.
12. Pick three guesses as to what codes you think other people might pick for question 11.
Scoring:
- If you match at least one code that someone else (not yourself) chose for question 11, you gain 1.5 points.
- For every additional guess that matches someone's code (whether it's the same code, if 2+ people picked it, or a different one), you gain another 0.25 points.
To clarify, one of your guesses may be the same as your code for Q11, but you don't gain points for guessing your own code - you'd only gain points for it if someone else also picked that code.
Good luck everyone!
EDIT: Fixed an example that didn't quite fit. No changes to the questions themselves though.
