All in favor of suspending J-Lo for this one ...

Remember that license plate, 10-SNE1? No? Tough crowd.

Wait, shit... How does this work again?

It's been a loooooong time since I participated.

Signed up, signed in

I’m in though if there’s a Google Doc signup or something I missed it because I’m drunk.

Any guidelines for the optimal number of answers to a question?

SCREW YOU DIAMOND!

Fuck, there goes any hopes of winning.

how many questions per category should we submit?

Wow, almost full already. I'm thinking we'll start this league ASAP then with last year's NFL schedule instead of waiting for the spring and summer.

Also, thanks to whoever added the question count formula next to the signups.

Good morning!!!!!! You're in but haven't signed up for questions.

I'd say 10 is the sweet spot but it depends on how many of the choices are things that most people would never know. If it's something like "name a color of the rainbow", fewer answers can be fun. I've also done ones with like 14 or 16. (Or 15, for you weirdos who use odd numbers to estimate)

If any of them are as difficult as the one you just sent, you may want to send a couple extras...
I think the last time we did it this way, most people just sent me one for each category and I was able to use it with little to no editing or additional hints. If I have a question about one or I just don't think it works, I may get out the reject stamp.

I can’t edit the spreadsheet from my phone and I don’t get home until Thursday. Can someone put me down for TV and General Sports?

Bump - need 5 more

5 or 4? Because if you're at 28, we could just replay the schedule from some random 1980's season, complete with vintage youtube videos.

That's a very good fallback plan. Picking teams would be easy too...

(That's an unopened set for $179 on Etsy, by the way. Would make for a sweet prize.)

I'm in but don't know how to play.

Don't waste your time, Citgo, they ignore us mere mortals for sport.

However and whenever we decide to do it, there will be 10 questions per week. Half sports and half not. Without Googling, you'll send me answers and your score will go up everytime someone else gives the same answer (or way up if you're wrong). Low score wins.

I'm asking everyone to contribute two questions so use that link in the first post to add your name to the list and to 2 category slots you want to give me questions for.

I had actually found a decent explanation somewhere on here just before the swampcrashed last week. If ryan's explanation below doesn't do it, let me know and I'll look for it again.

Your goal is to answer with a correct answer that the fewest number of players answer. The fun of it is debating whether your super-obscure answer will be 1 point, because nobody else knows it, or whether everyone on here are a bunch of trivia junkies who know everything, and you get saddled with a ton of points, because everyone else said the same obscure thing. (then you take the middle road of choosing a wrong answer, which gives you the highest point answer plus 5).

But if your answers are submitted ona full moon you get a -3 modifier to your final score.

Which is great if you can live with Joe Buck’s indignation

Bump - 4 more needed

I'm gonna go recruiting.

gunpowder recruited me. IN

I’ll do it. What do i need to do?

Don’t all jump up to answer, I figured it out

Welcome Jags and Panthers. 2 to go

I need some more misery in my life, so I'll be fodder.

Excellent, see the first post for what to do. Now who wants the last golden (Brown) ticket?

Or a burnout w no memory. Hard to remember.

New poll and info on the first post

If I'm given the Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Jets, Redskins, Cowboys, Saints or Dolphins I will tank the season.

Don't forget to vote in the poll. I'm a little surprised at the results, so I want to let any changes happen naturally before I ignore it.

OK, looks like we're going with the same format as last time - I'll come up with the top 8 players, assign them a random team from each of the 8 divisions, and then fill everyone else in randomly. The draw will be posted...today at 11AM!
