Good evening ladies and gentlemen (and Diego), and welcome to the all-new


TOP-ANSWERS GAME


The game where YOU, our wonderful audience, get to decide what the answers to a host of questions should be. That's right, for five fantastic rounds, YOU, our phenomenal audience, will submit the answers that you think most fit the questions. It's a game where anything can happen, and it's brought to you in association with

http://nedcolville.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/coca-cola-funky-logo.jpg?w=500&h=353

the makers of a host of wonderful, refreshing soft drinks that are sure to put a smile on your dial and leave you feeling hyper and bloated!

So let's jump right into the first round, shall we? I'd like to call upon my beautiful assistant Spawner to bring in the envelope with the first set of questions. Thank you Spawner, you're looking lovely tonight in that mini-skirt and black fishnet stockings! What's that, love? I haven't explained the rules yet? Why yes, you're quite right! You can't have a game without rules now, can you! These aren't the offices of Arthur-Andersen!

Right folks, here's how the game works. I will post a set of questions to which there could be more than one answer. Each of you must then send me a PM before the deadline for each round containing a list of answers that you think the other players will choose. Remember, it's not about choosing the right answer, it's about choosing the answer that you think everyone else will choose!

Round one will commence shortly and you must get your answers to me by NEXT FRIDAY, APRIL the 1st by 11:59pm GMT. The results from the first round will be broadcast live on Sunday April the 3rd at 10:00am GMT (provided I'm not asked to host the Oscars or something at short notice!)

And now, a word from our sponsors:

Had a tough day at the office? Bored to tears by your lecturer? Ready to expel your teacher? Let it all fizzle away with COKE, the most popular soft drink in the world*. The sensational taste will leave you refreshed and ready to take on the world while the acids and sugar in the drink will eat away your teeth and stomach and leave you with indigestion and heart problems. Coke, open happiness!

And we're back and about ready to start the first round of TOP ANSWERS!! So hold on to your hats folks, cos things are about to go wild!!


LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

[Mister Duckington]

Yaaay :D
And awesome show Morg :) Very funny :)

[Iceweaver]

Glad you guys liked it. Took me hours to think up those jokes! :P

I've received two sets of answers already. Keep 'em coming folks!

[Wayne]

Glad you guys liked it. Took me hours to think up those jokes! :P

I've received two sets of answers already. Keep 'em coming folks!

One of them is me! :cheer: YAY! Looking forward to the first round, I got really stuck on one of the questions [the planet one] as I'd never come across the terminology ["stellar"] :(

[Iceweaver]

Have you never heard of the stellar wind, Wayne? Or stellar cartography? Or stuff like that? ;)

[HeatSeeker]

I have to be honest I hate the questions lol but I know some ppl hated mine so I can't complain :tehe:

[Iceweaver]

Why do you hate them? What's wrong with them?

[Spawner]

I had to google a racing driver. Not sure I'd get many points with James Hunt. :D

[Spawner]

Do we have any new players Iceweaver?

C'MON EVERYBODY! GET YOUR ANSWERS IN! ALL ARE WELCOME!

[HeatSeeker]

More answers wanted! C'mon all you VESC people who I sent messages to, you can take part too!

[Iceweaver]

Well despite what's been happening here recently, this show is going to go ahead. I've not received any further sets of answers and I doubt I will. So I'll collate my info and prepare the results for 12pm GMT tomorrow.

[RihannaRunsThisTown]

did you not get my answers?

[Iceweaver]

I did RRTT, but my post where I'd updated my list of people whose answers I'd received was lost in the hack.

[Spawner]

I've already reserved my seat at the dining room table. It's Mother's Day here tomorrow so everybody in our house has to do what I want. I loved one of my answers but I don't think it'll be a top one. Bet you can guess which one it is Iceweaver. :D

[Iceweaver]

I'm pretty sure I know the one you're talking about Spawner hehe.

[Wayne]

Oh fabulous, I'll be here! :cheer: Reserving my seat like Spawner, albeit at a different dinner table!

[Iceweaver]

Exactly four hours to go till the results are posted! And a late set of answers from Freeze means that things are even more exciting! Wooo!

[Iceweaver]

The show starts in 15 minutes folks!

[HeatSeeker]

I have arrived wearing a beautiful, stylish, expensive, Calvin Klein set of...PJ's as it's 2 am here :tehe: *grabs popcorn*

Ok, here we go, round 1 of the new Top Answers game.

http://www.bazaardesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/golden-card-suits-with-gems1.jpg

- Hearts: 4
- Spades: 2
- Diamonds: 1

Pretty easy question to start with. Did you know that the most common suit of cards (the popular Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs set) is called a French suit? I didn’t!


CAR MANUFACTURER

http://i54.tinypic.com/2n66ixz.jpg

- Ford: 2
- Toyota: 2
- Honda: 1
- Renault: 1
- Ferarri: 1

Bit of an open question there. Guess there are just too many brands to choose from! :P

- Euro: 1

[HeatSeeker]

Why do Wayne and I get periods after our names? Are we special? :tehe:

[Iceweaver]

Nah, I just forgot to put periods after everyone else's name! :P

[Iceweaver]

Well I was going to say that the crowd goes wild, but one person isn't exactly a crowd! :D

[HeatSeeker]

Yay for the first 3

- Prince William: 2

I’m not going to say anything here since I think the royals are SOOOO overrated! ;)


ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

http://ladyraine.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/egypt-pyramids.jpg?w=550&h=352

- Great Pyramid of Giza: 5
- Sphinx: 1
- Statue of Zeus: 1

I couldn’t give the point for the Sphinx since even though it’s also at Giza, it isn’t technically one of the Seven Wonders. Sorry!

For further reading on the subject, check out the Wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonders_of_the_ancient_world).


SONG BY BRITNEY SPEARS

http://www.himho.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Britney-Spears-Announcement.jpg

- Baby One More Time: 5
- Everytime: 1
- Toxic: 1

[HeatSeeker]

OMG so happy others said Baby One More Time & that I went with my instinct and chose the queen instead of the prince despite Morg reminding me that the news of his marriage was everywhere =P

- Arnold Schwarzenegger: 1
- Sebastian Loeb: 1

I didn’t know Arnie was a racecar driver! :tehe:

By the way folks, you do know there are other kinds of racing other than Formula one, right? ;) There’s NASCAR, rallying (glad to see Sebastian Loeb there!), drag racing, the Would Touring Car Championship etc. Racing is cool, man!


A WORD STARTING WITH THE LETTER ‘Z’

http://i55.tinypic.com/2kir82.jpg

- Zebra: 4

STELLAR OBJECT

http://i53.tinypic.com/15yisev.jpg

- Sun/Star: 5
- Moon: 1
- Black hole: 1

I was hoping to see more exotic objects, like asteroids, nebulae and pulsars. You people have no imaginations! :P (Except for the brown dwarf, which I classified as a star, and the black hole hehe)

[Wayne]

I think I'm actually doing alright so far!!! :o

[HeatSeeker]

Well I had NO idea about the race car driver question so I'm not phased that I got 1 point (I put Mario Andretti :P) & I could give you a list of lots of fascinating and strange stellar objects, but this is the top answer game ;)

[HeatSeeker]

I think I'm actually doing alright so far!!! :o

[Iceweaver]

Ah, an incentive for people to show up, I like.

Precisely ;)

[Iceweaver]

Well there we go, round one is all done. Pity about the poor show attendance! :(

[Wayne]

Oh I did good, most top answers! :cheer:

[HeatSeeker]

The questions got harder *throws a Zebra at Morgan*

[Iceweaver]

The questions got harder *throws a Zebra at Morgan*

That's the point ;) But come on, they're not THAT hard. Just use Google or Wiki! There's only one question there that I think you'd need to look up, anyway. The rest should all be general knowledge! :P

[Spawner]

Brilliant results show Iceweaver! Sorry I wasn't here, got stuck round at my mum's house for longer than I thought I'd be.

Yes, rolled up body in a carpet was me. Not that I have a dead body in my loft before anybody calls the plods. :D Honest!

Well I did better than I thought I would, fully expected to be last. Loving the next set of questions, the only one I'd have to research would be the VESC one, I'm familiar with WWII fighter planes because, on the Prison housing estate, every street was named after a WWII fighter plane because it was an American airfield in the war.

[Mister Duckington]

Nice results :)

Only one I had to research was the WWII one o.o

[Mattias]

I loved this answer so much: Something you would keep in an attic - Demonic puppets. Who said that? I thought that was very funny and creative.

Sending my answers in a few minutes.

[Iceweaver]

I'm sorry, I cannot reveal specific answers. The person who said that will have to tell you themselves ;)

[HeatSeeker]

It was Freeze! I know because he'd always have an answer about demons when I was hosting last time lol.

[Iceweaver]

I cannot confirm or deny that the contestant specified is the one who said the thing that was said that is being asked about :P

[Mattias]

Well I think it probably was Freeze then, but why do you feel you must keep it secret? :P

[Iceweaver]

It's in the game's smallprint ;)

[Spawner]

Sent my answers in. Bumped the thread as a reminder.

[24/7 Entertainment]

I wanna join in! Just read through the whole thread - you guys are so funny :) I'm sending in my answers soon!

[Wayne]

You should've received a set of votes from me? :)

Thanks for the reminder!!

[HeatSeeker]

Wayne is coming for my ass :( I don't think I'll do well this round :tehe:

[Spawner]

You'd better all choose the answers I choose this time. I'm sick of you all picking different things.

[Iceweaver]

The deadline has passed and I've received answers from all the round 1 contestants except for one, so unfortunately he won't be considered for round 2. We've also gained a new contestant, Mr 24/7 Entertainment, so the battle will once again be between 7 people.

The results will be posted tomorrow, Sunday the 10th of April, around 12pm GMT. Be sure to tune in for the show as there are more bonus points up for grabs!!

[HeatSeeker]

Who didn't submit their answers?

[Iceweaver]

RihannaRunsThisTown. But he's not been on VE since last weekend anyway.

[HeatSeeker]

I guessed right, hopefully my guesses for this round were likewise correct, although I'm sure I'll get 1-pointers on a couple questions :tehe:

[HeatSeeker]

Well Morgan told me I missed 4 questions so I'm not looking forward to the results :tehe:

[Iceweaver]

The results for round 2 will be posted shortly. Hopefully there'll be more than 1 person in attendance this time ;)

[Iceweaver]

Well it seems that once again we have an audience of one. Too bad for the others, cos they'll miss out on the bonus points!

So here we go, the results for round 2:

Mountains are awesome, aren’t they? I loved how in the movie '2012', the earth changes so much that the highest mountain range becomes the Drakensberg, right here in SA! :D

There’s a bonus point going here for the first person who can tell me what the SECOND highest mountain peak in the world is.

Not much doubt there, was there? ;)

I just realised that that colour picture is wrong! Green isn't a primary colour, yellow is! Whoever created that pic should be shot!

I was going to put shark but went with lion.

Another slightly harder question to end the round. I’m really starting to worry about the mental state of one of the contestants! :P

[Spawner]

Demonic raincoat answerer isn't Moopy in disguise is it? :D

[Spawner]

I could only thing of Maggie Thatcher for the female politician. I didn't realise Hilary Clinton was one, I thought she was just the wife of Bill.

[HeatSeeker]

- Carrot: 5

Of course you ***s would think this http://fotpforums.com/images/smilies/+sip+.gif :tehe:

[Iceweaver]

You need to watch the news more, Cath. Hilary is the US secretary of state!

[HeatSeeker]

I could only thing of Maggie Thatcher for the female politician. I didn't realise Hilary Clinton was one, I thought she was just the wife of Bill.

I actually thought I'd be the only one who said Hilary http://fotpforums.com/images/smilies/laughcry.gif

[Spawner]

But that's in America! I tend to avoid any American news because the Government are all corrupt and it makes me really angry. She obviously only got the job because of her husband. *rolls eyes again*

Spawner's bonus point moved her up a place as Mister Duckington would've beaten her on number of top answers. Bonus points are your friends!

Hilary is actually a very good politician, I'm a big fan! :D

I've done TERRIBLE this time!

Yay for bonus points!

Oh but then, so has Diego! :lmfao:

Well Obama appointed her, and she was a senator for 2 terms. I also happen to think she's a pretty good politician http://fotpforums.com/images/smilies/+sip+.gif

Alright then, I stand corrected on Hilary Clinton. :D

Mattias sneaks into the lead thanks to a great second round. Heatseeker is just one point behind, though, while Mister Duckington rises to third. Wayne drops two places to fourth while Spawner manages to hang on to fifth place. Freeze gains a place because unfortunately RihannaRunsThisTown didn't send in any answers for round 2, while the newcomer 24/7 Entertainment has an impressive first go and comes in in seventh place.

[Wayne]

I like Clinton, because she'd make a gay man/woman's life in America so much easier (http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbianactivism/p/HillaryClinton.htm). She's an incredible woman!

[Wayne]

I was not arguing! GURL PLEEEEEEEASE! ;)

I am GUTTED that I fell. However, as long as I rank higher than Diego in the end, I'll be happy :D

You mean like slides etc.?

[Spawner]

2.) Name a popular playground attraction


You mean like slides etc.?

What did you think he meant? Children?

[Wayne]

Oh man! A slide is so not a playground attraction, its a park attraction! lol. I put a game that I use to play in a playground!

[Iceweaver]

Wayne, I don't think a game you used to play qualifies as an attraction in a playground!

That's the trouble with playing a game like this with people from around the world. Playground obviously means different things for you and for me!

[Iceweaver]

What did you think he meant? Children?

You mean like the children in the playground are the attraction? :lol:

[HeatSeeker]

What did you think he meant? Children?

I didn't know if he meant playground equipment or just things you can do at a playground. And Wayne, basically all elementary school playgrounds have slides ;)

[Iceweaver]

I thought attraction was the right word to use, since equipment could mean any number of things. I'm really looking for things like a seesaw etc.

And now that you've all stuffed this up, seesaw is not an allowed answer! :P

[Wayne]

We don't have slides in our playground - a playground to me is the area at a school where children play, usually concrete, with things like hopscotch, snakes and ladders etc.

[HeatSeeker]

We don't have slides in our playground - a playground to me is the area at a school where children play, usually concrete, with things like hopscotch, snakes and ladders etc.

When I think of playgrounds I think of slides, see-saws, monkey bars, that kind of thing.

[Iceweaver]

We don't have slides in our playground - a playground to me is the area at a school where children play, usually concrete, with things like hopscotch, snakes and ladders etc.

Well you're just weird :P

[Mattias]

Thanks Iceweaver! I wanted to be here for the results, but my mum wanted to go to a botanical garden with me and I decided that sometimes real life is more important. We had a really nice time. And looks like I didn't need the bonus points anyway ;) But I'll try to be here next time if I can.

I will send my new answers now.

[Spawner]

I'm with Wayne in that a playground in the UK is usually a schoolyard and it doesn't have play equipment. We call the playground that you're referring to a park. But I knew what you meant.

[Mister Duckington]

Im doing pretty well o.o

I decided I'm going to send joke answers in the next edition...

And nice job on the questions :)

[Iceweaver]

Joke answers? Oh my...

[HeatSeeker]

British playgrounds sound depressing :tehe:

[Spawner]

British playgrounds sound depressing :tehe:

They are. Health and Safety won't let schools have play equipment in case a child gets injured. That's why I spent most of my life behind the toilet-block smoking.

[24/7 Entertainment]

Sorry I wasn't here for the results guys - I had no Internet connection! Just read thru the thread and I done quite well for my first go woohoo :) Now I need to do even better considering I missed the first round :( Sending my next answers thru soon :)

[Iceweaver]

They are. Health and Safety won't let schools have play equipment in case a child gets injured. That's why I spent most of my life behind the toilet-block smoking.
:lmfao:

Seriously though, what the hell is wrong with people? They don't have play equipment in case a kid gets hurt? That is so friggin stupid! Kids are going to hurt themselves, it's a fact of life. But take away the 'healthy' play stuff and they'll end up doing what Spawner did and actually do themselves even more harm (no offense Cath ;)) Now I understand why the kids in Britain are such hooligans.

But let me guess: they do things like this because they don't want the parents of a hurt child to sue them. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but we can thank America for that mentality. Oh no, I spilled hot McDonalds coffee on myself, I shall now sue McDonalds for $1,000,000,000,000 for not telling me that my coffee was hot. It actually makes me sick to see how pathetic people have become.

Rant over ;)

[Spawner]

A lot of schools simply could not afford the insurance if they had climbing-frames and swings. Plus you have to have that silly foam flooring too, unlike the olden days when parks had gravel floors. The McD's Hot Apple Pies are the killer for me with CAUTION! HOT! flashed across the front - the clue's in the name.

[Iceweaver]

I think it's just sad. Where are kids supposed to play, then? What do they do during break-time?

[Spawner]

I think it's just sad. Where are kids supposed to play, then? What do they do during break-time?

They play games on their mobile phones or DS's. Primary school children chase each other round the playground and play games that require imagination. There's usually a hopscotch grid painted on the floor but I can't imagine many children even know how to play that now. Even skipping ropes have died a death, they're reserved for the keep-fit brigade now.

[Iceweaver]

What a sad world we live in...

[Wayne]

Ooh what a rant iceweaver! :D

[Iceweaver]

Lol! I just get so annoyed with stupid people who couldn't be bothered to think for themselves and only care about themselves.

[HeatSeeker]

Answers sent, didn't put much effort into them so I won't be phased if I flop :dead:

[Iceweaver]

Answers sent, didn't put much effort into them so I won't be phased if I flop :dead:

Why didn't you put much effort into it? Do you not care about all the effort I put into this? Is this just a game to you?

:P

[Spawner]

That last question was a doozy.

[HeatSeeker]

Why didn't you put much effort into it? Do you not care about all the effort I put into this? Is this just a game to you?

:P

It was almost deadline and I was dealing with some e-drama as usual, so I just put what came to mind ;) And yeah that last question was pretty creative.

[Iceweaver]

Round 3 results will be posted shortly. Hope everyone is comfortable!

[Wayne]

Urgh, well not too bad I suppose. I can remember when Spawner used to do really well in this, what's happening Cath? :tehe:

[Iceweaver]

Thanks to everyone who was here, great to see you all!

Here come the round four questions. As always, send your answers to me via PM before 11:59pm GMT on Friday the 22nd of April.

1.) Name a desert
2.) Name a letter of the Greek alphabet
3.) Name a number between one and ten
4.) Name one of the American Great Lakes
5.) Name a piece of camping equipment
6.) Name a country in the Caribbean
7.) Name a character from the Peanuts cartoon strip
8.) Name an article of makeup
9.) Name an implement in a pocket knife
10.) Name one of the James Bond films starring Pierce Brosnan
11.) Name a famous composer of classical music
12.) Name an American comedy sitcom
13.) Name a component inside a PC
14.) Name something a man would use but a woman wouldn't

[Spawner]

Urgh, well not too bad I suppose. I can remember when Spawner used to do really well in this, what's happening Cath? :tehe:

What's happening is you lot are all choosing different answers to me and Iceweaver's questions are hard, so many answers to choose from! :D

Can't believe that I put EA as the games company and then changed it to Blizzard before I sent the answers in. As to the question about what you don't want to catch your kids doing, well I've already caught her smoking, swearing and eating dirt so I chose something else.

Last place, ho hum. :(

[HeatSeeker]

This is why I don't like this game - I tried harder last round and did poorly, did it quickly this time and got 1st :lol: Thanks for the results again Morg. I like your questions a bit better this round :tehe: Although I do have a couple queries:

Does the blade itself count for #9? Also, what do you mean by #13? Things like this (http://computersettings.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/computer-components.gif) or this (http://www.warepin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/computer-hardware-part-6.jpg) or both?

[Spawner]

Just answer the bloody questions Diego! I've already sent my answers in so you'd better not pull one of those stunts like you did with the playground one last week and get an answer banned.

[HeatSeeker]

What's wrong with having the questions clarified? And my stunt actually benefited Wayne, who would have gotten no points for that question otherwise =P

[Iceweaver]

Does the blade itself count for #9? Also, what do you mean by #13? Things like this (http://computersettings.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/computer-components.gif) or this (http://www.warepin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/computer-hardware-part-6.jpg) or both?

Yes, the blade itself does count. Remember that it's just one of the many useful implements found in a pocket knife ;)

For your second question, your second image is correct. I'm looking for something inside the computer tower itself.

It's ok to clarify questions. I get the feeling some of the ones I'm asking aren't all that straightforward :P

Heatseeker remains firmly in the lead with a great performance of 13 out of 14 top answers this round. Mattias is only 9 points behind, though. Wayne squeezes up into third place with Mister Duckington only 1 point behind in fourth. Spawner remains content in fifth while 24/7 Entertainment jumps into sixth because Freeze did not submit any answers for this round. RihannaRunsThisTown once again did not submit any answers and remains in eighth place.

Not exactly. Apparently it holds your junk for you while you pee, leaving your hands free to do other things...

Oh how could I have forgotten, I always have a burning desire to read the newspaper while urinating.

[Iceweaver]

I wonder if it shakes for you when you're done? How would it know when you're done? :P

Maybe that black thing in the middle is a camera, and someone in a control room is operating it looking at you :P

[Iceweaver]

[Mister Duckington]

What does 15) mean?

[24/7 Entertainment]

Sent my answers in! :)

[Wayne]

What does 15) mean?

At the bottom of the screen, there's a drop down menu allowing you to choose which style you want. The main one is Chrome

[HeatSeeker]

Answers sent.

I probably won't do too well this round but it's alright as I don't wanna host anyway since I'm currently running one on another forum.

[HeatSeeker]

Oh I realized I left 2 answers for #3, just use the first one xD

[Iceweaver]

FYI, I'm going out for lunch with my folks on Sunday so the results of round 5 will be postponed to 6pm GMT on Sunday night.

I've received answers for round 5 from everyone except Freeze and RihannaRunsThisTown.

[Iceweaver]

Since no-one else is on, I may as well post the round five results now.

Congrats to Heatseeker on his win.

[Wayne]

Congratulations Diego, talk about a turnaround for Spawner! Yay, I beat Spawner though :tehe:

[Spawner]

Aaaargh! 1st Place! Yay! :cheer:

I would have had even more points if I'd chosen Ellen Degeneres as my gay person instead of Anderson Cooper. She was my 2nd choice.

I was also going to put Raiden for MK but didn't.

Excellent! Going out with a bang.

Brilliant game Iceweaver! Loved the questions.

[Iceweaver]

Glad you enjoyed it Spawner. Someone else can take over now, I've had enough! :P

[Mattias]

Congratulations Heatseeker! Are you going to host?

[HeatSeeker]

Nope, you can host! I'm hosting another game on FOTP so I won't have the time. Thanks for hosting Morgan!

[Mister Duckington]

Awesome :)
Can't wait for next ones :)

[Mattias]

Nope, you can host! I'm hosting another game on FOTP so I won't have the time. Thanks for hosting Morgan!

Oh, I'm not sure I want to host lol. I did so when I won back in 2009 and it went well, but I think I'm too lazy to do it again now :P

[Wayne]

Lol! If you don't want to Mattias, then I'll do it :)

[24/7 Entertainment]

Loved this game! Sucks I came 6th :( But I missed the first round so I'm sure I would have been higher :)
