While I'm waiting for at least one more entry, I'll try figuring out the spreadsheet and python script! (also known as "bump" )
You can't send in entries anymore! I've calculated the results (with Excel's help, of course). I'm still figuring out something with Python, but I think you'll see the results today. I don't know when the next round will start exactly, as I haven't got a message from the host yet.
For these first two rounds I was, yes, but other people may be the host too if they want, and somebody else (the suspense! ) will do round 3.
The results are in! This round went quite well overall. Some people didn't understand the mob arena question at first, but they answered it later. SkyDragonv8 decided to join after I had said the time for entries had closed, but I still managed to include him, doing some last minute changes to the results. The Excel spreadsheet went very well, but the Python thing not so much So I still did most by hand. Oh well, it's not too tedious. Now I should stop with the rambling, and get to the questions! The first 9 questions are scored via normal Feud scoring (number of people who said your answer divided by number of people who said the most popular answer) 1. Name a language that's not Mandarin. 1: English (BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem, neonz59, Uber_Corq, cadenman2002, haastregt, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.11: Japanese (ShelLuser) 2. Name a sense. 1: Sight (BabyCreepersRule, Uber_Corq, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.4: Hearing (PineappleGem, neonz59) 0.2: Smell (ShelLuser) 3. Name a contribution team member. 1: ShelLuser (BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem, neonz59, cadenman2002, ShelLuser, SkyDragonv8) 0.5: hashhog3000 (haastregt, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine) 0.17: Kephras (Uber_Corq) Well, it worked 4. Name a Beta Minecraft update. 1: 1.8 (BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem, Uber_Corq, SkyDragonv8) 0.25: 1.7.3 (neonz59) 0.25: 1.3 (cadenman2002) 0.25: 1.7 (haastregt) 0.25: 1.0 (hashhog3000) 0.25: 1.7.10 (Owl_on_Caffeine) 0.25: booty update (ShelLuser) 5. Name a funny letter from the English alphabet. 1: Q (PineappleGem, Uber_Corq, hashhog3000) 1: W (cadenman2002, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.67: X (neonz59, ShelLuser) 0.33: P (BabyCreepersRule) 0.33: R (haastregt) 6. Name a Nintendo console. 1: Wii (Uber_Corq, cadenman2002, hashhog3000, ShelLuser, SkyDragonv8) 0.2: 3DS (BabyCreepersRule) 0.2: DS (PineappleGem) 0.2: 2DS (neonz59) 0.2: Gameboy (haastregt) 0.2: Nintendo 64 (Owl_on_Caffeine) 7. Name a language that's not English. 1: Mandarin (BabyCreepersRule, Uber_Corq, cadenman2002, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.33: Japanese (neonz59, ShelLuser) 0.17: French (PineappleGem) 0.17: Chinese (haastregt)
8. Name a passive Minecraft mob. 1: Cow (BabyCreepersRule, Uber_Corq, haastregt, hashhog3000) 0.25: Sheep (PineappleGem) 0.25: Horse (neonz59) 0.25: Squid (cadenman2002) 0.25: Chicken (Owl_on_Caffeine) 0.25: Zombie Pigman (ShelLuser) 0.25: Pig (SkyDragonv8) 9. Name a hostile Minecraft mob. 1: Creeper (BabyCreepersRule, neonz59, Uber_Corq, cadenman2002, haastregt, ShelLuser, SkyDragonv8) 0.43: Zombie (PineappleGem, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine) 10. Mob Arena. Code: ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ hash][ ][ ] [2][ cad ][B,G,S][ ][ ] [3][ne,Ow][ ][ haas][ ] [4][ Corq][ ][ ][ Sky ] BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem and ShelLuser start in the same spot. They are all three of different mobs, and thus they're all eliminated. neonz59 and Owl_on_Caffeine are also in the same spot, and they have different mobs too, and are thus eliminated. ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ ][ hash][ ] [2][ ][ cad ][ ][ ] [3][ ][ haas][ ][ Sky ] [4][ ][ Corq][ ][ ] The five still in the game all stay in the same row, and only change columns by going left or right, with the exception of SkyDragonv8. ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ ][ ][ ] [2][ ][ haas][c,has][ Sky ] [3][ ][ ][ ][ ] [4][ Corq][ ][ ][ ] cadenman2002 tries to stay save by staying in the same column once again, but unfortunately hashhog3000 decides to move one down and they have an encounter. Creeper against Zombie, both are eliminated. ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ ][ ][ Sky ] [2][ ][ ][ haas][ ] [3][ Corq][ ][ ][ ] [4][ ][ ][ ][ ] Uber_Corq moves towards haastregt, but haastregt quickly goes away. SkyDragonv8 minds his own business. ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ ][ Sky ][ ] [2][ ][ ][ ][ ] [3][ ][ ][ haas][ ] [4][ Corq][ ][ ][ ] Both Uber_Corq and haastregt now move one spot down, while SkyDragonv8 keeps doing his thing. ~ [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ] [1][ ][ Sky ][ ][ ] [2][ ][ ][ ][ ] [3][ ][ haas][ ][ ] [4][ ][ Corq][ ][ ] Uber_Corq and haastregt are very close to each other, but luckily this was the end of the mob arena, and both have survived. SkyDragonv8 also survived, choosing a rather good starting point. 1: survived all turns (Uber_Corq, haastregt, SkyDragonv8) 0.4: survived two turns (cadenman2002, hashhog3000) 0: survived no turns (BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem, neonz59, Owl_on_Caffeine, ShelLuser) This question obviously caused some confusion for some people, but luckily it all worked out. 11. Guess how many mobs will survive the mob arena (1 point if you're correct, 0.5 points if you're one off, 0.25 points if you're two off). 1: 3 (PineappleGem, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.5: 4 (BabyCreepersRule, hashhog3000, ShelLuser) 0.5: 2 (neonz59, cadenman2002) 0: 6 (Uber_Corq, haastregt) 12. Guess how many mobs will survive the mob arena (normal Feud scoring). 1: 3 (BabyCreepersRule, PineappleGem, cadenman2002, hashhog3000, Owl_on_Caffeine, SkyDragonv8) 0.33: 4 (Uber_Corq, ShelLuser) 0.17: 1 (neonz59) 0.17: 6 (haastregt) So the final scores are: 1. SkyDragonv8: 11.25 2. Uber_Corq: 9.50 3. hashhog3000: 9.08 4. BabyCreepersRule: 9.03 5. cadenman2002: 8.60 6. Owl_on_Caffeine: 7.63 7. PineappleGem: 7.45 8. haastregt: 5.82 9. neonz59: 5.77 10. ShelLuser: 5.64 SkyDragonv8 did actually win this time (he came very close second last round), sending his answers in last-minute. And with quite a distance! Very close to the perfect score for this round, actually. Uber_Corq got a nice second, joining in for the first time. hashhog3000 got third place, once again. And also once again, BabyCreepersRule got a very close fourth place. Writing this post took me quite some time, actually, doing it by hand... Especially when Xenforo messed up everything when I tried to change the colour of something. Let's hope it doesn't do that again... Here is a link to the spreadsheet. A graph I accidentally (um, I mean, very cleverly) made is also included. Since the round is over now, you're encouraged to talk and have discussion about the questions and answers! I won't say anything more about them, but I can say I found this round to have some quite interesting results (for you people interested in statistics, you should really download the spreadsheet ).
Third again? Congrats to all! Like ShelLuser, I just put myself for the Contribution Team thing because why not? I liked the Mandarin/English questions, as they were pretty much free points. I think the MA one was my favorite, though. Very interesting and creative question. Thanks for hosting another great round!
Hooray! Congratulations to all the winners and anyone who competed, and I hope to do this again some time!
Round 3. Host: hashhog3000. 12 questions. Yup, you're reading this right, we're having a different host this time! Hashhog3000 has made some great questions for you to enjoy. He won't be joining in for this round. I will, though, I already sent my questions in before anyone else, to make sure I wouldn't be influenced by other people's answers. Questions 1 - 9 are Normal Feud Scoring (amount of times your answer got given divided by amount of times the most popular answer got given) 1. Name a fruit. 2. Name a superpower (this can be essentially anything). 3. Name a breed of dog. 4. Name an EMC staff member. 5. Name a desert. 6. Name an EMC outpost. 7. Name a game show (can be from any country). 8. If you had your tongue coated in flavoring for all eternity (everything you eat will taste like this!), what flavor would you want your tongue coated in? 9. You are a ghost. Your scaring style is on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is where you scare the most amount of people in a day (but the scaring isn't as scary) and where 1 is where you might spend the whole day elaborately haunting one person. Choose your level of scaring style. 10. The Comfortable Cushion Conundrum There is couch with four cushions, cushions A, B, C, and D. Each cushion is more plush and soft than the last, so A is the least comfortable and D is the most comfortable. However, as every couch potato knows, the more people are on a a single cushion, the less comfortable it gets! Choose a cushion to sit on. Your score is determined by the cushion's value divided by the number of people who sit with you on the cushion. Cushion Values: A: .5 B: 1 C: 1.5 D: 2 For 11 - 12, see diagram below. 11. There's a chair in the middle of the room. Pick the direction you want it to face (North, South, East, or West). This is normal feud scoring. 12. Place a television in one of the locations in the diagram. In other words, pick a number from 1 to 8. The chair will be turned towards the most popular direction from question 11. If it is facing directly towards your number (one spot), you get 1 point. If the number you choose is diagonal to the front of the chair (two spots), you get .75 points. If the number you chose is to the side of the chair, you get .4 points (two spots). Finally, if it is in one of the areas behind the chair, you get 0 points (three spots). To submit your answers, please include both 607 and hashhog3000 in a conversation. Same thing if you don't understand something. Please don't talk with anyone but 607 and hashhog3000 about these questions before the round is over. Of course you're still permitted to talk about last round's questions. Also, if you're inspired by this round and you'd like to host the fourth or fifth round, please pm 607!
The Mob Arena question was quite fun, and congratulations to the overall winners! I'll be sending in my answers for round 3 soon
Cool, 2nd place! I must say, very good job, SkyDragonv8; it's like you read our minds. Thanks for the work you've done, 607; I quite enjoyed it. Good game to everyone else, and I hope you'll all join in on round 3, which I'm going to do my answers for in just a bit.
I did okay and had a lot of fun. I will certainly be participating in any of these that come up. I'll submit my answers tomorrow because I don't have a second computer/tablet, right now.
To anyone who is considering hosting one of the upcoming rounds: 12 questions is not a must. A minimum of 8 questions would be nice, though. It's also not needed to have a non-normal Feud scoring question, although it's nice if there are one or two.
Yas I am (still?) seventh! But drat I got wiped out in Mob Arena. Sending the next round of my answers to you guys, 607 and Hash!
Totally forgot about this one, finally looked into it again. Oh my, I failed But congratulations to the winners! But I have to be honest guys: I can't help grinning a bit that I scored 1 point by naming myself as a team member. That was pretty cool actually. For everything else I'll just blame Japan (as in my gf ;-))
