    This is taking a bit longer to tabulate than I anticipated :D

    I'm going to delay the reveal until 8pm and I should have time then.

    Will fly through the 9 questions at this point.

    I cannot stress enough how much I didn't understand this game and just wrote the first thing that came into my mind without any contemplation whatsoever.

    Technical problems folks, I'm aiming for 8.30pm start now

    Apologies :o


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    No-oooooo!!!

    I timed my drunkeness to be just drunk enough for 8pm. I'll be gone too far by 8.30pm :(

    I think everyone who doesn’t understand the game should state it. I have an odd feeling that could actually be an advantage. Would be interesting to compare scores of those who get it and those who don’t.

    I’ll go head to head with you if you don’t mind :)


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Ah crap, forgot to enter this. At least it saves me the trouble of trying to understand the scoring system. :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Right, let's get underway.

    Still have a little bit to do but will do in between questions.

    I understood the rules. Doesn't mean I have confidence in my answers.

    Question 1: 3 counties on the island of Ireland

    Few stats.

    Only 1 county from Northern Ireland got a mention.

    And nobody named my home county so I deleted the whole game in a rage.

    Night folks.

  • Registered Users Posts: 343 ✭✭Siobh73


    I think I got it but not sure that is any advantage, especially if a lot of you didn't get it. Kinda cancels out?
