Just for curiosity, *if* we'd gone for 21 points for an incorrect answer as I'd suggested, here is how it would have differed:

And just calculated my score if I'd stayed entered, and yeah, I'd have won (36 points). So ... glad I withdrew, as it'd have been no real win.

I would have got a few aces though, even for the ones I didn't Google (Boyne for river; Yellow for rainbow), so not too bad.

Way to put a downer on my result .

Out of interest what are the 12 answers that you had ?

My point being that I’d Googled my answers before realizing it was against the roles so I withdrew. Of course they were the best results as I researched them. It’s not meant to take away from yours at all which was won fair and square. Apologies if you thought it was meant that way. I’d not even thought to check until Osh asked me was I keeping track.

That I didn’t win


TBH felt I had it in the bag

Another great game. I'm really enjoying this new addition so kudos to Rik for organising it! I think it'll be a great addition to the games forum.

And fwiw I preferred this format of the game where you can't research. It made it much harder (as evidenced by my **** answers) but more fun imo. More of a head**** the other way though.

Baggly

I liked this version of trying to get unique answers more, and enjoyed the non-google aspect of it more as well.

That being said, both Sheeps and Peehs are brilliant, imo.

We all did Gnr. I wonder do Paddy Power do bet forgiveness.

Mollyb60

Speak for yourself Pter, I hadn't a clue of most of the answers. Although I was sure that Sonia O'Sullivan had won a gold.

Baggly

Ah its the same with Codenames. If you can google, it just becomes about who can google the best and not about knowledge.

(Questions must not have suited you this game Mols)

Once again, thank you everyone for playing

I'm glad to see everyone enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed running it.

I'll throw up another game in a couple of days time, maybe over the weekend or early next week, but if anyone else wants to give it a go at running a sheep or a peehs, then please, be my guest

Ill give it a shot and have a thread up later today.

Aww that's very nice of you to say. I actually think it's just coz I've a terrible memory. For example, I've read most of Dan Brown's books and just couldn't remember the name of Deception Point.

Kolido

Wait till mam of baggly sees what you're at Pter.

Barney92

Is Ava Max that Sweet but Psycho song? I was listening to that as I filled out my answers. Thought it wouldn't be number 1.

Crap, I thought The Da Vinci Code would have been the default answer for anyone who didn't know many of his books, so I went for the only other one I knew.

So did everyone else apparently

Good fun Rikand, thanks for setting it up! *runs to new game*
