It's time for the next round! This round has a theme of:
fiction.
I: Fictional CharactersStandard scoring, except that some questions have specifically forbidden answers, which score zero.1. Name a Shakespearean character whose name is
not part or the whole of the title of the play in which this character appears.
2. Name a fictional detective, other than Sherlock Holmes.
3. Name a fictional cat, other than Puss-in-Boots.
4. Name a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.
5. Name a Hogwarts professor.
6. Name a character in the
Sonic the Hedgehog series, other than Sonic.
7. Name a character in the
Touhou series, other than Reimu.
II: Works of FictionInverse scoring: Try to pick the least popular answer, but answers outside the bounds of the question score zero.8. Name a novel by Charles Dickens.
9. Name a book in
The Chronicles of Narnia.
10. Name a book in
The Adventures of Tintin.
III: Fictional Games11. Quidditch. Choose a team (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin) and position (Chaser, Beater, Keeper or Seeker).
Goals: Each team scores 10 x Chasers x (Beaters + 1) x 2 if at least one Keeper.
Snitch: A team fielding
exactly one Seeker scores 150.
Conversion to quiz points: Each player scores 1/100 of their team's Quidditch score.
12. The Hunger Games. Choose a district to belong to (numbered 1 to 12), a district to attack, and a time to attack (0 to 24 hours after start of games,
integer hours only).
You are assumed to form a temporary alliance with anyone else from the same district, but scoring is individual and team-mates can backstab each other
If you die before the time you chose to attack, your attack command is ignored even if you have surviving team-mates.
If anyone chooses to attack a team with zero members, the attack command is ignored. This overrides all other rules.
If two or more attacks take place during the same hour, there is a bloodbath and all members of attacking teams are killed (while the teams they intended to attack get away).
If a larger team attacks a smaller team, all members of the smaller team are killed. In addition, if the fight was 2-on-1, the team member who nominated that attack takes the opportunity to kill their team-mate during the fight.
If a one-person team attacks another one-person team, both are killed.
If a team larger than one person attacks a team of equal size, or any team attacks a larger team, the team member who nominated the attack is killed (but their team-mates abandon them and flee).
Anyone still alive after 24 hours scores 1, or 2 if they are the sole survivor.
13. Mornington Crescent. Name a London Underground station, other than Mornington Crescent.
I will write all named stations on a piece of paper, and draw a link between any two if one ends and the other starts with the same letter. These links join the stations into networks. The
size of a network is simply the number of stations it contains.
Everyone scores (size of network containing their station) / (size of largest network).
14. Brockian Ultra-Cricket. Choose a forum member to insult. It must be someone who has participated in at least one round of Family Feud 2015.
If the person you insult
does not take part in this round, score 1.
If the person you insult
does take part, but
does not insult you back, score 0.
If the person you insult takes part and
does insult you back, lose 1 point.
The winning person shall be the person that wins! May the Random Number Gods be ever in your favour!
