A QUIZ OF SORTS - S4V6 (inc. AQOS Cup - sponsored by Mumsnet - round 1)
***THE GAME***
All you have to do is guess what the most popular answer to each question. You get the same number of points per question as the total number of people who gave the same answer as you. For example if the question is “a city in Asia” and 50 people including you said “Tokyo” you would get 50 points.
The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the 15 questions.
FIENDISH RULE: If nobody else answers the same as you on a question, then you will lose a number of points equivalent to the top answer on that round. So, in the example above, if you answer "Kuala Lumpur" and nobody else gives that answer, your score will be -50 points for that round.
***HOW TO SIGN UP***
If you have not already signed up, please send a PM to plasticniki INCLUDING a password of your choice (to be used when you submit your questions):

Icarus??
Tough draw.
I've never lost an AQOS cup match, btw.
You could have it worse...
as far as i can recall, i've never won one
don't worry
GreeIN
Qualifying Round wIN!; First Round loss
Congratulations on going through almost-unchallenged creaky!
Some tough questions this week.
goddam
Im going to have to redo my quiz answers sensibly, rather than in the creepy guy style that I have.
i am going to lose this one
i'd bet money on it
Well good luck to you :)
And you are embarrassingly out scoring me every week so I wouldn't worry!
I demand a re-count
<3
Come at me, TheSpecialist!
From Hell's heart I tug at thy hockey hair
oh God
even your pre-game chat is a cut above.
I'm doomed. DOOMED TO LOCK YOU BACK IN HELL WHERE YOU BELONG!
(not convinced I'll do it, myself)
If I'm doomed to an eternity in Hell
I CERTAINLY HOPE YOUR ACCURSED FOREBEARS BORE ME WITH A WITTIER ARRAY OF QUIPS!
Difficult this week
None of them jumped out with an obvious answer.
Plasticniki set 14/15 of the questions this week
#BALLBREAKER
you're going DOWN, Dans
(disclaimer: haven't looked at the questions yet)
hip_young_gunslinger
The dweeb can't even work a shower. Put me in the 2nd round now please.
Tough fixture against chuff
My star quizzer has been away on international quizzing duty, and I'm not sure if they'll be ready for this one.
christophales has a higher average score than me
#prayforHS
It's a real League 1 vs League 1 FA Cup third round tie
Tillance almost won a week or two ago
I'm actually kind of hoping she slams me, and goes on to win the cup tbf.
Are those two things related (oi oi)
CWBAFT (etc)
Looking at the questions, I am pretty sure I will struggle. No change there then.
froglet, you're going to get such a hiding this week.
I feel bad for you.
i have very low expectations of my aqos performance
i'm always just relieved if i don't get a single
:( i've just looked at the questions :(
I don't think you've got the hang of the pre-match trash talk
Call me a big twerp or something.
sorry
nitwit
that's more like it.
I am now greatly anticipating this grudge match
TAKE HIM DOWN FROGLET
bINgo!
IN
is my answer for 7 too vague?
WON'T KNOW TILL FRIDAY
no
it's just shit
In
At least 3 zero answers from me :(
casINobay
kevbizarre = OUT!
Tough one this week Team Ballbreaker.
INto the next round
I wouldn't even bother submitting answers if I were you chuff, save the embarrasment. I've hit this one out of the park.
Radio silence from El_Goodo
I think he's being a bit arrogant and complacent. I'm ready to cause an upset.
I, arrogant and complacent?
I'm so confident of beating you Pegfeet I haven't even bothered submitting any answers.
Am I too late for this?
I'll Pm PN now
huh?
Deadline is tomorrow night
too late sorry Gringo :(
PN just PM'd me to tell you to PO
nah, just get on it PDQ
Litreally no chance of gettINg a perfect score this week
Hands up who used to assume my winning
was somehow Notegate related.
Come on, make yourselves known.
icehockeyhair was definitely chief amongst those insinuating that
and every other user who gets a better score than me too
who has the bye?
oh it's steved
well done steved
come on - where's the trashtalk?
Antibants is the new trashtalk
Incredibly difficult
Balls will certainly be broken.
O wild west wINd
Thou breath of Autumn's beINg
stupidweirdoflanders is a prick!
You've done yourself there, Batters.

Hi Spess! Hi Brooke! You played before AgrandeNationale?
Spess played last season a few times
EMOGFB is new
She enjoyed it
but after sending it she immediately said to me
'shit, I think I went too American on some of them'
If she beats me I'll be quite upset.
Hi Goode
I've aqos'd previously...but never well
No sign of chuff
Running scared. Typical chuff.
was I first in?
start me off on 100 for my commitment
IN with no chance
fu team ballbreaker
that was so difficult. probably got a shitload of minus points coming my way.
Ok so it was my first time and I thought it was relatively easy
Am I in for a horrible shock?
oh yeah and BRING IT, GRINGO
Si_badvibes
it's so on!

What about me?
(I submitted my answers about an hour ago)
You're too late
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4455178#r8329181
You posted the list of entrants at 20:55
I submitted my answers at 20:02.
Maybe you can explain how that's "too late"...
Because
At just after 7pm I went onto the survey, extracted the responses and started the scoring. At just before 9pm I posted the final list of entrants in this thread.
There will be occasions where I don't get round to starting the scoring until later on in the evening because of other commitments. But if you submit your answers late, you run the risk of not being included in the game.
Stupidsexyflanders gets a bye to the next round.
Thanks for the explanation!
:-(
missed out...
stupid work keeping me late
YES!
IN YOUR FACE!
Through to round two before an answer is kicked in anger?
Where is juninho10?
He's IN
see above
There he is!
(SHIT!)
HIYA!!!
Tomorrow we duel!
Until then....
Nice big turnout this week
Just like old times
attendances have gone up since the "thread for non-quizzers" thread
persecution has galvanised us.
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4455178#r8336140
is it too late to revise all of my AQOS answers?
i just want to revise my first 2
ok, ta
lol ma0sm shat himself
nah
just wanted to see how accomodating TBB really were.
I know I've got this one in the bag
Given that I compile the AQOS results in my spare time and for no money:
Not very.
how long til answers?
I need to know when it's time to *DESTROY THE SPECIALIST
*by "DESTROY", I mean "LOSE HEAVILY TO"
