Have you an alibi for that? Can someone verify that you were finding the Blue Team hard to figure out?

Which way round did you do it for your fact?

Did you think "I have bought 816 games since 2007" and then work backwards by dividing it by the number of months.

Or did you do it by thinking of an average number of games per month and then multiplying it by the time?

It is such a shame that I will be at work tomorrow, when all the other victims... I mean suspects... I mean competitors... come online.


I counted them all on my shelves and rounded to the nearest hundred. So the first one, if I understand your question.

The downside of not being a forumite: I don't know anything about any of you to help guide my answers.

The upside of not being a forumite: you don't know anything about me to help guide yours!

And yet, no questions proffered me. Well, fine, be completely uninterested in my statement. See if I care.

I'll not be on properly till after work (6:30ish) but feel free to ask about the time I played a Game Gear on a motorbike, or whatever mine was, and I'll answer once I'm home.

Sorry bud, but seeing as you posted a couple of times after the task - I assumed you would have noticed. Don't assume you have been eliminated yet though!

Seeing as you have made the effort - I will instead of giving you a straight out zero, I will allow you to answer for HALF MARKS. So whatever you score, I will then divide you score in half and convert this to the 1pt----->24pt. It still penalises your team but not quite as much - and you might get a few points if you are good. Its likely you will only score 1pt though!

I'm not interested in ruining the team aspect right at the the end just for the sake of it, now get on with it you cheeky scamp!

Even though I submitted my answers last night, I'm still trying to work out Prototype's statement. I can't even remember what I settled on, I'm that baffled by it. All the facts of the story add up, I've done a bit of research and that guy was released from prison a few months or so after Rock Band was released. And he went back to Scotland, which is of course where Prototype lives. So the time and place seem legit. But something just doesn't seem right. Like, how did Prototype know who he was? Is he genuinely infamous is Scotland? (I'd never heard of him til now) Did he walk into the shop and announce "Hi everyone, I was on death row for 21 years, let me play Rock Band". Actually, what was he doing in a bloody Game shop in the first place?! If he'd been on death row since the 80's and was shortly after diagnosed with mouth cancer, I can't imagine going into a Game would be high on his list. Unless he just saw it in town and thought "This looks new, what the strawberry float is it?!". Also, I wouldn't have thought Game staff would have been allowed to play Rock Band with customers on company time. Unless Proto and his merry gang were all like "OMG OMG, it's that death row guy, let's pwn him at Rock Band, lol, lol".

I dunno, I still can't decide. Like I say, the time and place make it possible and Prototype did work at game. But then, it just doesn't seem likely.

It's either something utterly bizarre that Proto was actually lucky enough to experience or a very well researched fabrication by DML.

I can't wait to see the answer to that one.

DML's one too. I know he has a lion on his right arm but I couldn't decide if a Red XIII tattoo is something he'd actually get or if it's just a fantasy that he'd like to have but be afraid it's too geeky. Another hard one to work out.

strawberry float, all of blue team were hard to work out. Really confident about my other answers but strawberry floating hell blue team. strawberry float you.

I'm submitting now. Best to go with first thoughts rather than fret over it. I was only "certain" about a couple of them

Actually, we've met before. Less than a year ago in fact.

No, the wrestlers were all based on me, my friends, and people that went to our school. We spent dozens of hours beating up all the pricks we detested.

What school year were you in when you did all this?

My final year (13)!
