And now typing this I think it may have been done. Rass! To the archives!

I did an alternate kind of Swampcrash a few years back that was something like this. It was a survivor-pool type thing where there was one question each round and anyone with a non-unique answer would get eliminated until there was just one person left.

This was so much fun to go back and read through. Great job on that game. I love how the breadth of correct answers slowly decreased. Also funny reading old threads and I have a mental response to comments, then see I made the exact same response but have no memory of that. Curious if it's a buried memory of what I wrote, or if I just have the same reactions 8 years later.

The scene at Ataguttaaluk High is bedlam right now. Snowmobile valet is slammed!

Secada says he's ok but it looks like an event of this magnitude has him a bit nervous for his performance.

Oh wait that's an actual seal.

Simms was not on the original list but that was only because he hurt his knee in 1982 in preseason and was given 14 years, I think that should count as 15 so I added Phil the Thrill for Mister D.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Apr 21, 2023 11:46 am

OH let's go back to that crayon question. Ryan asked it in 2020 and Orange and Yellow each were 1 pointers.

Same people in general and this time they are the two high answers. Unless you guys went back and looked at the previous question, that is just nonsensical.

Swampcrash would melt an AI bot trying to analyze it.

Midway through the first half, we're all knotted up.

Looks like both teams are a bit weary, expected given the grind of this tournament.
