Survivor FOFC: Challenge-tug of war

[stkelly52]

For today's challenge we will be playing a trivia tug of war. Here is how it works:

I will post a question. Who ever answers the question correctly will get one point for thier team. Once it is verified that he got the right answer, whoever answered the question correctly will post a trivia question of their own.

If no one answers a question after an hour, anyone (except the person who posted that question) may post the next question. Whoever posts the new question will be awarded an additional point.

If a question is answered, but the person who asked the question does not verify if the answer is correct or not, the answer will be assumed to be correct and the point will be awarded after 10 minutes, even if the answer is clearly wrong.

This game will continue for 24 hours. The team with the most points will have immunity. The team with less points will face tribal council.

No private messages allowed. Yes this game does lend itself to cheating, but I do ask that you play the game fairly, after all this game is just for fun and no money is involved.

Note: This game is only for those playing Survivor FOFC. If you arn't involved in this game, you shouldn't bother with this.

Note # 2: Vexroid has been randomly selected to sit this game out so that the teams have even sizes.

Edit: you have 15 minutes to aks your question. If you fail to do so anyone may post a new questiona and take one bonus point

[stkelly52]

The first question:

Who was the first NFL receiver to score 100 career TDs?

[Kodos]

What item did Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) send in four proofs of purchase of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs to acquire?

[Radii]

well i was too late for the answer but as an aside the calvin and hobbes snowmen may be the best series of cartoons ever produced:

[Raven]

stkelly, you have a PM

[McSweeny]

correct kodos! did you know that or was that the result of some internet searching?

[stkelly52]

Question that someone asked me:
Are search engines considered cheating? if they are, can you post that they are?

Search engines are fair. Everyone has the same oppertunity to use them

[Kodos]

McSweeny: It was internet searching. :)

[SplitPersonality1]

[McSweeny]

oh man we are kicking ass tonight boys

[SplitPersonality1]

good job. The alien comes through.

[McSweeny]

so is anyone keeping track of the score?

[SplitPersonality1]

I assume stkelly will sort it out in the end.....I do not envy him at all.

[Raven]

there isnt much to count. its like 1000-2

[Kodos]

Hey fellow Dolamites. We have a nice lead at this point. We should really ratchet up the difficulty level of the questions now to preserve the lead.

In the fall of 1982, Michael Crichton attended Brugh Joy's psychic healing conference. As part of the conference, each student had to choose an inanimate object as his "teacher." What did Crichton choose to be his teacher?

[Raven]

[Raven]

[stkelly52]

I have a score of 8-2, if you disagree then speak up

This game is goin to go on for 24 hours- it would be nice if, when you verify that someone's answer is correct, you would post the updated score

[McSweeny]

heh heh heh so that makes is what 13-1 dolamites? ;)

[Kodos]

all three answers so far are incorrect.

[SplitPersonality1]

I like Raven's estimated score much, much better. :)

No prob, Jeff.....I mean stkelly.

[Raven]

its a cactus

[McSweeny]

cucumber

[Kodos]

cactus is correct. 8-3, Dolamites. How'd you find that? :)

[stkelly52]

Kodos, you didn't update the score, your team loses 100 points :) (ok not really, but please do)

[Raven]

Well since i am my only team member online, looks like my only strategy at this point is to kill some time.

[Kodos]

Beat you to it, stkelly!

[vex]

GO Dolamites!

[McSweeny]

bah! now we've got to wait an hour

[SplitPersonality1]

Actually guys, I have to head off to bed. Maybe by the time I wake up, we will have a commanding 59-3 lead.

Go Dolamites!

[McSweeny]

[Swaggs]

[Swaggs]

This thread won't be very popular tomorrow morning...it is going to have over 100 posts.

[Swaggs]

Marmel and Shorty!

[McSweeny]

[vex]

Comon McSweeny, you'll get one eventually.

[Raven]

[McSweeny]

[stkelly52]

Uhh... that question is just a bit too personal and I am vetoing it. I am not going to allow the game to go down that road

The score is 12-8 Dean Houston

I will add go ahead and put in the next question:

In what state is my hometown of Burien?

*edit* Corrected score

[Blade]

Washington State? Now that I got some sleep, I am ready to get at it again!

[stkelly52]

correct 13-8 DH

Edit for score correction

[Radii]

Its now been an hour since the last answer was confirmed:

Three players in NCAA Mens Division 1 Basketball history have recorded 1000 assists in their career. All of them played in the same conference. Name the 3 players, and the teams they played for.

(1 point dolas!)

[Marmel]

Bobby Hurley, Duke 4 140 1076 1993
Chris Corchiani, NC State 4 124 1038 1991
Keith Jennings, E Tenn St 4 127 983 1991


That is according to this:

http://www.basketball.com/menscollege/records/NCAADiv1careerAsstLdrs.shtml

...so saying they were all from the same conference might be wrong.

[Marmel]

In fact, nobody else from the top 10 is from the ACC.

[Radii]

That page is out of date :) The 3rd one is more recent than anything listed on there(but still a few years ago)

[Marmel]

Ed Cota, UNC is the third

[Radii]

Marmel is correct!

[Marmel]

Woot!

[Marmel]

What year was Art Shell named Oakland Raiders head coach?

[Radii]

1989

[Marmel]

correct, Radii.

[stkelly52]

Marmel, you forgot to post the score, for shame!

13-11 DH

[Marmel]

My bad. I thought you would be updating the scores. Now, I look back and see.........


13-10 D(ick)H(eads) ;)

[Radii]

Should be 13-11 DH right now(It was 13-8, I got 1 point for posting a question after an hour was up, right? Then marmel got an answer right, and I got one right)

Next Question:

Name the most recent Quarterback who won the Heisman Trophy and later went on to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

(I'm not sure if there's any ambiguity there but I define recent in terms of the year the person won the Heisman, not the year they made the HOF)

[stkelly52]

with the game lasting a whole 24 hours, there is no way I can follow the whole thing. keeping track of your own score makes much more since. I will investigate any specific protests though.

PS, it should be 13-11, I erred just before marmel's post

[Marmel]

Roger Staubach

[Marmel]

(checking 10 minute time frame)

edit: 6 minutes! Radii and I should be working much quicker as Dola teammates! (hint, hint, Radii)

[Radii]

Correct Marmel! (I'm at work, doing the best I can here!) ;)


Edit: Score is 13-12 DH now

[Marmel]

just kidding with you Radii! :)


Who won the 2001-2002 NCAA Men's Basketball, Division I Championship?



DH leads 13-12

[Radii]

Maryland

[Marmel]

Correct, Radii.


We are tied at 13!

[Radii]

13-13

Who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVII, played in January 2003.

[stkelly52]

Interesting how this game has been going. It started out looking like it would be a blowout for the Dolamites, then Dean Houston stormed back and took a solid lead. Now the Dolamites have tied it all up. I am off to bed now, it will be interesting to see who is up when I wake up

[Marmel]

Dexter Jackson

[Radii]

Correct Marmel (14-13 Dolamites!)

[Marmel]

Who won the first Superbowl?


14-13 Dola!!!!

[Radii]

Green Bay Packers

[Marmel]

Correct, Radii!


15-13 Dola!

[Radii]

What NFL team made 4 consecutive Super Bowls and lost all four of them?

[SplitPersonality1]

Keep it going guys. I'm at work, but will chime in as I get an opportunity.

Go Dolamites.

[Marmel]

Buffalo Bills

[Radii]

Correct Marmel! 16-13 Dolas!

[Marmel]

Who was the last player to wear #23 for the chicago Bulls of the NBA?

[Radii]

Michael Jordan

[Marmel]

correct, Radii.

[vex]

These questions are rather difficult:)

[Radii]

What Major League Baseball franchise has won the most World Series titles?

[Marmel]

[Radii]

Correct, Marmel. 18-13 Dola

[Marmel]

Who holds the NFL single season sack record?

[Radii]

Michael Strahan

[Blade]

Michael Jordan

[Blade]

Wow, I am far behind now!

[Marmel]

Correct, Radii!


19-13 Dolas!

[Blade]

Where are all the DH's? Come on, guys, help me out!!!

[Radii]

Arrr, the enemy has arrived

[Marmel]

Yeah, if we have a full hour to post a new question, we should start stretching it out when we get one right.

[Blade]

:(

[Radii]

Score: 19-13 Dolas

Questions: In the recent what-if sports NCAA Basketball Tournament being run by an FOFC member, what basketball conference has the most teams in the Sweet 16 with 5?

[Marmel]

ACC

[Radii]

Good point Marmel, I am hoping my latest question lends itself to the Dolas getting another point, but we should probably start to delay with a 7 point lead(plus, I have to go to lunch in about 20 minutes)

[Radii]

Marmel is correct. 20-13 Dolas

[Marmel]

I am 20 minutes out from lunch too. If you could confirm my answer, I will post one more then we can head to lunch. :)

[stkelly52]

Hmm, I just rechecked my rules, and that is not one of them. THe hour is if no one answers the question.

There is no rule about what happens if you don't ask a new question, so I will make an arbitrary ruling that you must ask your new question within 15 minutes.

[Marmel]

OK, fair enough St. Kelly.

[Radii]

Ahhh ok, well after lunch I should be here pretty consistantly until 6pm or so, hopefully enough to prevent a comeback. (and note Marmel I confirmed your answer a few posts ago) ;)

[Marmel]

So, should we go for extremely tough questions that might be hard to come up with an answer in an hour in order to stertch it out?

Let's try this one:

At what New York Restaurant did former Giants Quarterback YA Tittle announce his retirement in 1965? :)

[Marmel]

and I should be around pretty consistantly from 6-8, and then after 9. Or at least, I will try to make a point being around.

[stkelly52]

I will give a bonus point to the player that asks the question after the 15 minute time limit.

[Marmel]

At what New York Restaurant did former Giants Quarterback YA Tittle announce his retirement in 1965?



I posted this above, but it was at the end of a post, so I am repeating just is case anybody missed it.

[Kodos]

Ask questions that nobody can possibly get right, like what is your Grandpa's full name.

[Marmel]

Kodos, I don't think stkelly will allow that. Good thinking though.

[Blade]

Originally posted by Marmel

I am totally grasping at straws now...

Toots Shor’s restaurant?

[Marmel]

No.

[Kodos]

Ahh. I didn't see stkelly's veto a couple pages earlier.

[SplitPersonality1]

Denny's

[Marmel]

Heh.

No, splits. Great guess though!

[John Galt]

Downtown Athletic Club?

[SplitPersonality1]

Marmel. A team member is always right.

Let's try The Four Seasons

[Marmel]

No, and no.

[Marmel]

time check

[Marmel]

It has been an hour, so here is a new question:


Which Pro Football Hall of Fame Defensive End had a supporting role on "Little House on the Prairie" ?

[Marmel]

Oh, and the answer to the YA Tittle question was:

Mamma Leone's Restaurant.

[Poli]

Hey guys, I'm here...but I don't know how much help I can be or how long I'll be here!

[Marmel]

hey ardent. Do whatever you can. As long as we are holding this large lead, I think the strategy is to come up with questions that will take a while to answer (hopefully), therefore stetching out the time frame to our advantage.

If the DH's start catching up, we will have to abandon the stall tactics.

[Poli]

Thanks Marmel, I have no idea what the score is, though. I just found out like 10 minutes ago we had this challenge up. How are we doing?

[Marmel]

We were down 13-8, when Radii and I answered 12 straight questions.

the Dolas currently lead 20-13!

[Poli]

If I can answer, then it is Merlin Olsen. I may be too late as it is.

[Marmel]

Brilliant ardent!

We now lead 21-13.

You need to post a trivia question now.

[Poli]

Gotcha. Thinking of one now. Do I have a time limit?

[Marmel]

15 minutes from my post, confirming your correct answer.

[Poli]

Shoot, I got to get cranking. I'll have to toss in an easy one, because I may not have much time!

Who holds the Super Bowl record for the most rushing touchdowns in one game?

[Poli]

Yikes, and with only 5 minutes to spare!
