Family Feud Part IX

[Justin_Bailey]

Family Feud Part IX

As Hostile Dialect has said he's a bit tuckered out to run a new Family Feud game, I thought I'd run with it myself.

Rules, in case you are new are this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Post your responses to the questions and when there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question (to come up with the Survey Says).

You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like the game show. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can't keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 1000 possible points; Tamex, the defending champion, won with 464 points. Results of the last game are here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448059).

1. Which day of the week do you watch the most television?

2. How long is a "long movie"? (answers in minutes)

3. Name a type of pasta.

4. At what age did you learn how to ride a bike?

5. Other than work, name a place you go at least twice a week.

8. Aside from Google (and the SDMB), name a website you visit everyday.

9. What is the most popular Olympic sport?

I don't understand this criticism, Family Feud does questions like these (and the question in Family Feud VIII) all the time.
It's a bit different, though, as I understand it. On the television show Family Feud, the people being polled to determine the most popular answers to the question aren't, simultaneously, acting as contestants trying to predict the most popular answer to the question. They're different groups.

So now here, in this game, there's a tension between "What would I actually answer?", "What do I think people would actually answer?", "What do I think people would think people would actually answer?", and so on, which I don't believe exists in the television show. But I suppose if everyone interprets the questions always as "What do you think most non-contestants would say to this?", then it all works out consistently.

Family Feud Part IX

As Hostile Dialect has said he's a bit tuckered out to run a new Family Feud game, I thought I'd run with it myself.

Rules, in case you are new are this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Post your responses to the questions and when there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question (to come up with the Survey Says).

You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like the game show. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can't keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 1000 possible points; Tamex, the defending champion, won with 464 points. Results of the last game are here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448059).

I know this is probably too late, but oh well


edit: apparently I'm right on time

[twickster]

I'll be curious to see how many "only one person said it" answers there are for websites you go to every day.

[Bearflag70]

I think the answer "Los Angeles" should be sufficient to include Disneyland and San Diego and everything else west of Arizona from San Luis Obispo to Mexico. It's all just an extension of LA, right? ;)

Well, since I was in last place last time, I definitely did better this time. Fifteenth!

[twickster]

Just like last time -- six #1 answers leave me solidly in the middle of the pack.

[Labtrash]

2nd here, 4th in the last one!

woohoo!

[Bayard]

Woo-hoo! I clawed my way up six slots, and improved my score by 22. A solid 24th place! Since one of my hobbies is "Aiming for the consitently average," I'll call it a day.

[«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™]

Tied for ninth, not too bad for my first time.
If I had said "brakes" and "grocery store" I would have done better. (brakes was my first guess but I thought more people would have said tires...)
That was fun! Thanks Justin.

[JustAnotherGeek]

A solid fifth, for my first go around, not too shabby!

And :smack: and :smack: for TV day and website - shoulda got those! Guess that's why I play the "home game".

I promised myself not to plug it here, but we're only six responses away from determining a winner in Trivial Feud I (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448421). (Yes, I decided to host another game--and I will be happy to run another Family Feud as well if there's interest.) It's not a lot like any Family Feud threads except for Part VIII, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea--but if you haven't played it yet, go check it out.

But if anyone wants to host Part X, feel free, I definitely need a break from scoring.

I need a bit of a break from Trivial Feud, but if nobody's started either game back up in a couple of days I might do FFPX and/or TFP2.
