Minority Rules Five - Winner announced!

[Siniri]

Stu, I feel the same way -- it happened to me both rounds. And random.org only likes Pipsqueeek in this game.

Zilary, sorry for the 5 PM's with my answer -- my outbox kept saying it had no outgoing messages and I kept getting a "page not loading" after trying to send, so I had no idea any of them had gone through (I actually tried sending it probably 20 or 30 times, so it could have been worse). By the time I saw they'd all sent, you'd already read them so I couldn't unsend.

[pipsqueeek]

New, of course.

[Zilary]

Mmm, I just had a very nice sushi dinner. *wanders in patting her food-baby*

Let's see, this week we were wondering what the antonym of old is.
Pipsqueeek, shrugged "New, of course" as she declares of answer on the board for all to see.
Siniri just submitted "young" six times in a row just to make sure I received her answer.

The verdict:
Young - [3] Siniri, YesItIsh, Pixa
New- [2] Pipsqueeek, loser

Did not submit - StuMan, Pardona (both lose a point)

Interesting, it seems like quite the pickle that both our previous winners would be in minority and if either of the majority swayed they would be in the majority regardless. Hmm...

Speaking of which, Zilary tosses Siniri (who seems a bit frustrated with her luck in this game) the mic:

"Who's going to win this round of Minority Rules, Pipsqueeek or somebody else?"

Answer by Sunday, February 1 at 11 PM EST (8 PM NST).

[Zilary]

*cuts to the chase*
(Sorry, it's been a long day...)

Siniri asked about the next winner of Minority Rules, while being slightly bitter. The (predicted) answers:

Pipsqueek - [2] Pardona, pipsqueeek
Somebody else - [3]Siniri, loser, YesItIsh

Did not submit - StuMan, Pixa

Next question...Go StuMan! (wherever you are)

"Am I up or down?"

Answers due by Wednesday, February 4th at 11 PM EST (8 PM NST).

*passes out*

EDIT: Update on scores - corrected, thanks Siniri! (EDIT2)
loser: 3
pipsqueeek: 3
YesItIsh: 1
Siniri: 0
Pardona:-1
Pixa: -2
StuMan: -2 Forfeited

[Siniri]

Somebody else - [3]Siniri, loser, YesItIsh

How does loser already have 4 points? She wasn't minority in all 4 rounds, and she was never sole minority...
And shouldn't Pardona be still alive at -1, while Stu and Pixa should be tied at -2? (Yes, my goose egg is correct.)

[Evil Stu Man]

I'm gonna have to bump out of this game. I am finding it difficult to send pm's on this site. Sorry but I have forfiet due to my major inactivity and pm issues.

Somebody else - [3]Siniri, loser, YesItIsh

*headdesk*

Sorry, I apparently was very exhausted last night. I apologize for the point confusion. It is now corrected.

(I think I confused Pardona with Pixa and vice versa some of those times)

[loser]

Siniri, next time that I get more points than I should, just shhhhhh

[Siniri]

Siniri, next time that I get more points than I should, just shhhhhh

I wouldn't want you to win without me getting a single freakin' point... I don't know if this will help, but I want to be in the minority at least once. Besides, would you really feel satisfied beating Pip if you hadn't actually earned the win?

[Zilary]

Up like a glass elevator according to Pardona?
Or down like an emo kid, feeling bummed like loser? (Even though she's close to winning)
Or finding the statistics of failing with Random.org for four times, as Siniri bitterly states?

Up - [2] Siniri, Pardona
Down - [3] YesItIsh, loser, Pipsqueeek

Did not submit - Pixa (eliminated, sorry)

This seems to be a relatively lucky round.

Go pipsqueeek:
"Abekfolinma. Capisonibensi or lonmopopinkai?"

Send your preferred gibberish in by Saturday, February 7th Sunday, February 8th at 11 PM EST (8 PM NST).

EDIT: Submit your answers now!

[Siniri]

Gesundheit, Pipsqueeek! Last time, I decided to stuff random.org and choose on my own -- looks like I made the right choice.

[Zilary]

Okay, I only got two answers for question 6. I'll extend the deadline to Monday night. Please please, submit your answer.

[Siniri]

I vote the two who submitted are both in the minority -- since "no answer" is the majority (assuming that I'm one of the two, of course).

[Zilary]

Jibber jabber, wibber wabber.

Pipsqueeek aeksd a qteiuosn unsig gbesrbih. Oaky tipnyg lkie tihs is gtientg anonynig.

Capisonibensi - [0]
lonmopopinkai - [4] Siniri, loser, pipsqueeek, YesItIsh

No answer - Pardona (lose a point)

Sighh, I tried to get everyone to answer and everyone answers majority. Oh well, is Pardona still in? I think he is because at this point, everyone who submitted questions should have had at least one of their questions posted. So, starting over:

As I was going to St. Ives, / I met a man with seven wives. / Every wife had seven sacks, / Every sack had seven cats, / Every cat had seven kittens. / Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, / How many were going to St. Ives?

One
or
Didn't we get this question in the previous game as well?

Answers due by Thursday, February 12th at 11 PM EST (8 PM NST)...or whenever enough players get them in.

[pipsqueeek]

You know, technically, assuming that the man and all his wives and etc *are* actually going away from St. Ives, the answer would in fact be zero. Unless you're a wife. Which I'm not. Or a cat. Which I might be.
