Flags Of The World - PEEHS [Closing: 16th April, 6pm]

aaronjennings · 05-04-2021 5:08pm #1

Inspired by Kolido’s quiz, where it seemed a lot of people would have liked a round on flags… how about a whole game dedicated to them?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e8PGPrPlwA

There are a total of 12 rounds, which will be posted immediately after this post

Standard PEEHS rules apply:

Please choose one country from each round, ideally the one that you think the fewest people will pick, and PM me a list of your answers

You will receive one point for every person who chooses your answer. The person with the fewest points at the end of the game will be declared the winner

Incorrect answers will score 1.5x the Sheep for that question

NO research allowed

Reveal will take place in a week or two, the exact time and date will be confirmed closer to that date

Good luck

Thanks to Omackeral this will be one I should do really well in. SHOULD!

ShaneU · 05-04-2021 5:23pm

Some people are insanely good at these. I am not one of them.

Same and they weren't spread evenly, so one decent answer trying to suss the sheep, 3 the only one I know and the rest wtf, I could probably work out my score now.

Thanks to Omackeral tournaments i actually got a few tricky ones in this, they all look so familiar

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 05-04-2021 7:26pm

On closer look a few more seemed a bit more familiar, so hopefully have managed to get a correct answer in each one, although most likely will SHEEP in each.

How does one play this exactly?

It's like Pointless, you are trying to choose one flag from each group which you recognise, and which you also think the fewest other people will pick. But you're not allowed to Google or look up the answers first

Once you have your list of 12 answers, just send that list to me in a PM - don't post them on the thread - and then the grand reveal of everyone's answers will happen in a week or two

Pick one flag out of each group (without googling). Try and choose the one that the least amount of people are likely to know. Send your answers to OP (aaronjennings).

Other instructions will be in post #1

I've just seen this and I'm in. I'll be wanting a podium finish here!

Zaph · 05-04-2021 9:30pm

I'm expecting a titanic battle with Kathleen and Omack going head to head on this one.

As explained above, but the trick is second guessing everyone. Often the most obvious ones score low as everyone avoids them. But they won't now I've said that. But they will now I've said that. But.... you get the idea

It's all good fun though, and a great crowd hiding in this corner of boards, come and join us

HeidiHeidi · 05-04-2021 9:54pm

I'm in.

Once I'd established that I actually did know at least one from each group.....

I've a head like a total sieve for flags, no matter how many times I see an unusual one and think "I really must remember that for future reference", and even try to tag it in some way in my memory - I still mostly only know the obvious ones.

And I reckon the footie-fans on here will have a distinct advantage (as well as those who've been playing Omack's flag games for goodness knows how long!)

Ah well, twas worth giving it a go.....

Electric Nitwit · 05-04-2021 10:00pm

I'm in too

I was hoping I could answer with just places I'd visited but fell well short of that

Am pretty good on flags but some tricky ones in there.

I did a "Fun With Flags" round in a table quiz I ran for friends last year. One or two were delighted, others less so! Hoping my research for that stood to me a bit here and I haven't submitted some extremely wrong answers.

beakerjoe · 06-04-2021 11:07am

In,

Once I beat Sawduck and Rikand I'm happy

Good work!

Looking back I could have done it actually, but some would have to be ones I don't want to pick in PEEHS

aaronjennings · 06-04-2021 1:22pm

21 entries in already

And impressively, only 3 flags have yet to be correctly identified

Which ones, I wonder...?

There were a few I couldn't remember.

I'm expecting judgmental looks from the Flag Lord, Omackeral

06-04-2021 1:52pm

If I say “2nd row, 3rd column” I’m not incorrect am I?

I had a look, got embarrassed at how few I knew, and backed away for now...

aaronjennings · 09-04-2021 2:34pm

We are up to 25 entries now, and just two flags remaining unidentified

I'm going to close sign-ups next Friday, with the reveal taking place the following day, so still plenty of time to get your entries in

ari101 · 09-04-2021 5:03pm

I'm in - proudly giving myself a chance at a wooden spoon (unless there are other people like me that can't name feck all flags

)

I think there's a queue

aaronjennings · 13-04-2021 1:23pm

Two more people have joned the fray, we are up to 27

Remember I'll be closing entries at 6pm on Friday, so if you're sitting on the fence, you have 3 days to get your answers in

cee_jay · 15-04-2021 10:50am

Something to keep those flag brains busy - just for fun - here is a Fun With Flags quiz round I compiled last year for a table quiz.

pickarooney · 16-04-2021 6:41pm

When is this bad boy going live?

aaronjennings · 16-04-2021 6:41pm

I missed this and I spotted my old friend Foghorn Leghorn from Mack's tournament.
