> [@Windwalker](#): > > I’m curious, though. Does posting joke answers actually affect the relative rankings of the participants? Joke answers will almost never match any of the serious ones, so everyone will score fewer points, but it should be an equal effect, no? It’d be as if the joke poster didn’t actually exist, and the game had 49 participants instead of 50. > > Although I guess it does take up a spot of person #51, who _does_ want to play to win. With just one joker, you’re right, the impact is nill or minimal. And there’s lots of times we’re looking for another few players to make it to 50, so \*\*Dolores \*\*will score it, so I hope \*\*panamajack \*\*will come back and play. But, what if…(_sets the controls for Ludicrous Example_)…what if there were 49 jokers and one serious player? One of the goofs might win, and that could unravel the very fabric of the universe! And that would really spoil your tea now, wouldn’t it? Anyway, it’s in the boilerplate now. It’s just for fun, but it seems like it’s more fun to play if everyone’s actually playing. Besides, the day I get last place, I want to be sure I earned it and that everyone knows and believes that I was actually trying to win: I want them to think “he wasn’t goofing, he’s just that stupid”. ---
