I do have one question, though … is the goal to match the most common / frequently given answer to each question or come up with a unique answer that no one else thought of? And I’m still not sure how the scoring works on this, either. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

The goal is to match the most frequent answers. You score for everyone who matches your answers. IIRC, it’s set up at 2 points per match, so the theoretical maximum score (if we get 50 players) would be 1000, but the only way for anyone to get 1000 points would be for everyone to get 1000 points. We’ve occasionally had thread games where the object is to get the most unusual answers, but in a game like that, you have to put in some sort of requirement that it actually be a correct answer, or folks will answer things like “qhuyxgal”. Here, there’s no such thing as an “incorrect” answer, just one that’s picked more or less often. ---

It would be funny if you won this game not knowing the rules. ---

> [@Bicycle\_Bill](#): > > I do have one question, though … is the goal to match the most common / frequently given answer to each question or come up with a unique answer that no one else thought of? As others have said, the goal is to come up with answers which will be frequently given by your fellow participants. It’s like the “Family Feud” game show, where the object is to guess which answers to a question the surveyed audience members gave most frequently. And, thus, a unique/quirky answer that no one else thought of will lead to a low score. ---

I got busy with work - and I have a meeting about stuff I haven’t finished yet! That’s at 10 am Central - so sometime this afternoon I will post the results. Sorry, guys! And @Bicycle_Bill - the others have instructed you correctly.
