n00bz - n00b 14 needed

[kathlyn]

Oi! No Fair... The other ones I could answer with what I've already got rattling around in my brain - I haven't had time for shuffling a pack of brothers (unless I go the 'random' route that makes me look silly)

Join the club

Nah, it'd just make you look like me.

Well, ok then, silly.

[Cenwulf]

I am still awaiting submissions from Scurra and MBH.

Maybe you could dock points for having to remind to n00bz to send their entries!

I wouldn't do that - especially as you've been last with an entry yourself:

Yes, just had to wait for kingsley's entry.

- though I didn't actually remind you.

[Cenwulf]

Phew! I think that was the hardest round I ever devised. And my '+2 for right, -2 for wrong' was clearly the most unfair scoring system I could come up with. I'm glad I changed it.
Here are the final results for round 11:
The actual order, according to Issachar, was:
Issachar, Dan, Reuben, Levi, Joseph, Asher, Simeon, Gad, Benjamin, Zebulun, Naphtali, Judah (and back to Issachar again).
Of these, only Dan, Levi, Asher, Gad, Zebulun and Naphtali were placed correctly by any n00b. (As Issachar isn't counted.)

MBH was clearly bamboozled, by this, as he placed Benjamin in 12th place on his list. As the table was circular, this would put him adjacent to Issachar. (Which was clearly wrong, according to fact 3.) But I decided not to penalise him for it as the round was so hard.

Bunnylump: 1 correct (Dan), 1 one place out, 0 two places out, 9 further misplaced: 3+1-9= -5.
LAT: 3 correct (Dan, Zebulun, Naphtali), 1 one place out, 0 two places out, 7 further misplaced: 9+1-7= +3.
fernando: 0 correct , 3 one place out, 3 two places out, 5 further misplaced: 0+3-5= -2.
kathlyn: 1 correct (Dan), 1 one place out, 4 two places out, 5 further misplaced: 3+1-5= -1.
Looby: Allowed to sit out this round, and scores 0.
kingsley: 1 correct (Dan), 2 one place out, 1 two places out, 7 further misplaced: 3+2-7= -2.
Scurra: 2 correct (Asher, Zebulun), 1 one place out, 1 two places out, 7 further misplaced: 6+1-7= 0.
Laura: 1 correct (Naphtali), 2 one place out, 1 two places out, 7 further misplaced: 3+2-7= -2.
MBH: 0 correct , 3 one place out, 0 two places out, 8 further misplaced: 0+3-8= -5.
evilkeen: 1 correct (Gad), 2 one place out, 2 two places out, 6 further misplaced: 3+2-6= -1.
gill216: 1 correct (Levi), 2 one place out, 2 two places out, (6 further misplaced): 3+2=5.

Current scores:
LAT 61
Bunnylump 58
fernando 49
evilkeen 44
Scurra 39
kingsley 38
kathlyn 37
MBH 20
Looby 18
Laura 16
gill216 5

[Cenwulf]

There is now a vacancy for n00b 12. Due to the nature of the next round, this person will be credited with 5 honour points.

[Bunnylump]

Bunnylump: 1 correct (Dan), 1 one place out, 0 two places out, 9 further misplaced: 3+1-9= -5.
MBH: 0 correct , 3 one place out, 0 two places out, 8 further misplaced: 0+3-8= -5.

Bet you wish we weren't twins sometimes, eh, MBH??

[MBH]

Well - that was a high scoring round wasn't it?

MBH was clearly bamboozled, by this,

Given up the will to live, more like YES - I forgot to check the last in the list against the first

[Bunnylump]

I think the only reason I didn't do that too is that I was very lucky. My luck, however, didn't help my scores...

[Scurra]

I still think that a negative score could be viewed as a good result though.

I was apparently right

(And the actual order turned out to be nothing like any of the ones I found before I gave up looking...)

[Cenwulf]

I must admit that round 11 was rather poor. But I've tried to link each round to the number of n00bz in it. As Issachar has 11 brothers, it seemed like a good idea - but I should have given it more thought.
And the revised scoring system, though not really more fair, was certainly less unfair.

[Bunnylump]

Don't worry, Cenwulf. It's hard to think these things through sometimes. It certainly provoked some discussion, anyway! Still, choose whatever you want for 12 but I wouldn't recommend signs of the Zodiac, because otherwise you might get lynched!

[Cenwulf]

It's actually another 'kill off the opposition' one, which is why the next n00b gets 5 points to start with.

[evilkeen]

I must admit that round 11 was rather poor ...

No worries, it's all good fun, I think you are doing brilliantly to think these all up!

[LAT]

I agree, I'm enjoying it - but then I would say that at the moment

[clvrlad]

kill of the opposition.....



i know im going to regret this...but is n00b 12 still open........

[MBH]

He jumps in at the chance of doing damage to the rest of us... I think that says it all

[fernando]

I must admit that round 11 was rather poor.

Not as good as some rounds, probably down to the fact that you had to think a bit, but still enjoyable.

No worries, it's all good fun, I think you are doing brilliantly to think these all up!

Well said, I would probably run out of ideas after round 3 or 4 let alone still be going strong at round 12.

The scores for that round were surprisingly close together. I thought there were going to be a few people, (probably myself) who were going to get -30 and some who were going to get them all right. Shows what I know.

[clvrlad]

hmm looking at the scores looby got a good round by getting 0

[gill216]

Hey, Mrs Newcomer got +5. I take back the earlier comment about picking this round to join in

[kingsley]

Yes but you couldn't get a minus score! Otherwise you would have got -1!
