Family Feud 2014

[Proxima]

I haven't played Lix multiplayer for a long while, being too busy with DROD and real-life, so I didn't know that about NaOH. Back when I was a regular player, I liked purple and always made sure to nab it if I joined before geoo 

[chaos_defrost]

Huh, suppose I'm out of touch with stuff in chat? Surprised that e.g. Death Note being most popular anime, must have been a topic of discussion or something?

Last time I submit drunk though

Dam, sorry I wasnt around to participate in the Lix feud
Was very busy the whole week with brothers wedding around vancouver.

[mobius]

on #5 -- 'compression Method' isn't even a real lix level was it?
I think I was thinking of 'Decompression Method' 

I've been watching Death Note recently because NaOH told me about it on IRC. While it's very entertaining it's not my favorite or the most popular anime (I would guess) by any means. if we held this question last year the winner would probably have been One Piece

#8 -- I debated chips challenge but I think Deadly Rooms of Death was talked about about as much as CC so I wasn't sure.

I usually pick orange or red in Lix so I did that n the questions as well

[Proxima]

on #5 -- 'compression Method' isn't even a real lix level was it?

Your multiplayer adaptation of "Compression Method 1". It's always been one of my favourite MP levels 

[ccexplore]

Ah, so people picked the favorite lix colors of the best MP players (geoo and Simon).  Should've thought of that, but even then I probably wouldn't have known what the colors are, as that's one thing I don't think I can find on the forums nor on IRC.

[NaOH]

Ah, interesting results! I really enjoyed the Lix Multiplayer questions, they were very creative. And, yes, purple is my favourite colour, but since geoo has prior claim I generally use grey. Which, as geoo pointed out, probably would've gotten me (even) more points! I'm not exactly sure how I pulled this one off, so I'll just say good job to everyone who participated and/or created the feud and/or scored the questions.

Also, good night; I have just returned from a weekend trip and now I will take my victory nap.

Copy that, but substitute Phoenix for Vancouver. Normal life resumes in a week or so

the score for this question will be: your pick X 0.1
If the bag runs out during part of a player's pick that player will only get whatever remains in the bag. Everyone afterward will get nothing.

maybe this was a trick question? .....nope, no trick here.


the scoring for this question is different:

9. There are 100 coins in a community bag. You may take any number of them. The greediest players get their coins later than those who want fewer coins, and if the bag runs out before you get coins you get nothing.

ranked from least to greediest:

simon - 8: 0.8 points
minimac - 9: 0.9 points
InsaneSteve - 9.667: 0.967 points
Clam -10 - 1 point
Akseli-   19: 1.9 points
NaOH-   19: 1.9 points
mobius- 20: 2 points

geoo chose to take 28.99, making him the greediest and taking the last pickings of the bag; only 5.333 coins were left to take; geoo gets 0.533 points.
“I'll probably regret changing my initial value from 9 to this” Turns out it wouldn’t have mattered.

There weren’t enough to go over the bag limit so everyone got something. Sadly I couldn’t show this to anyone as a response:

Akseli: 8.73
NaOH: 7.93

Clam: 5.73
InsaneSteve: 5.67

Wow. Bottom of the pile? That must be my mind playing tricks, or maybe I just think differently to other people, or maybe it's my British mind? I don't know, but I'm sure you'd enjoy some of my answers.

Anyway, I must've read that octohole question literally and thought of October. Ended up being the only one to say 10.

[Quizmaster]

Family Feud Round 10!

Question 1. What is the tastiest colour of jelly bean?

Question 2. You're making yet another Lemmings clone. What critter do you use instead?

Question 3. What doesn't go well with Club-Mate?

Question 4. The IRC logger bot needs a new name, because |Lovely| just isn't lovely enough. What would you suggest?

Question 5. What is a Lemming's best weapon?

Question 6. How much meat is enough meat?

Question 7. Who will be the next Quizmaster?

Question 8. (Blame geoo for this one) The number of holes in Octohole is not 0, 1, 8, or 10. What's your next guess?

Question 9. Can you guess the Quizmaster password? It has more than five letters. (Oh, and you get a 0.5 point bonus if your answer is correct ignoring the sequence of random characters I've added to the end for safety.)

Bonus Round! (0.5 points)

Pick a positive integer (i.e. 1, 2...). The 0.5 bonus points go to whoever submits the lowest integer that nobody else submits.

I have inside information on question nine, so I won't be answering that one. I have answered the others, however.

Edit: also, what a rude Quizmaster, posting before there was time to discuss the previous round! Let's have a comment thread.

“I'll probably regret changing my initial value from 9 to this” Turns out it wouldn’t have mattered.

I liked this question, although I probably would have played more conservatively if the penalty for being too greedy was zero coins rather than the remainder. I think 100/8=12.5 would have been the highest safe bet; I'm surprised the bets went as high as they did.

I was thinking about checking the frame rate too. I knew it was 8 frames, but didn't know how long each frame took. Your maths are very good looking at the number you came up with!
