IWS #240 - President Trump (Make IWS Great Again)

Pyser · 09-22-2016, 01:56 PM

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game's beloved progenitors, who remain beloved despite being rather irksome of late.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. For the mathematically challenged, product means they are multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. There are no prizes other than everlasting glory and total consciousness on your deathbed, so the need to cheat shouldn't be an issue.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring even the most trivial degree of judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Is the earth flat?", and you answer, "As far as I know", along with 9 other people, you each score 10 points, even though the correct answer is it is oblong.

The Questions:
The people have spoken, and Donald Trump is America's new President.

President Trump gets construction started right away on building his wall. By the end of his first year, 2017, how many miles have been built?
Now that Trump has exited campaign mode and stopped tweeting with one-word insults at the end, what single word becomes his new favorite Presidential exclamation-pointed Twitter sign-off?
President Trump is very excited to wield his new power. It's time to pardon some criminals! Who is the highest profile person he pardons?
President Trump is not one for traditions. What is the biggest annual presidential tradition he puts a stop to?
President Trump is ready to run for re-election, and he announces he will have a new running mate. Who is his new VP pick?
Trump's success has started a political rush from the private sector. Which never-before-been-a-politician gets the furthest in the Democratic field in 2020?

PM your responses to me, with IWS in the subject line. Submissions due by 5pm Pacific on Tuesday, Sept. 27th.

Wow. And I mean that in a good way.

claphamsa · 09-22-2016, 08:41 PM

JeeberD · 09-23-2016, 10:05 AM

Snet. Absolutely brutal.

Kodos · 09-23-2016, 10:32 AM

Is it strange that I have never participated in one of these?

Never? I'm surprised, tbh.

QuikSand · 09-26-2016, 08:50 AM

We have great questions. They are the best questions. And many people are saying that this is going to be the greatest IWS ever. The only way that doesn't happen is if it's rigged.

We're going to really look at your answers. We have to. We have no choice.

We're going to let the good ones in.

Thomkal · 09-26-2016, 09:19 AM

Quik wins

QuikSand · 09-26-2016, 09:29 AM

FYI, Pyser deserves the credit for the theme and core questions -- we collaborated here, and agreed we wanted to MAKE IWS GREAT AGAIN -- but he did the central thinking.

flere-imsaho · 09-26-2016, 11:00 AM

This is going to be epic. And by epic I mean I'm going to score 1 point.

stevew · 09-26-2016, 11:36 AM

We're going to build a board and make operation sports pay for it!

You and me both. A lot of challenges with this one.

Quik's modest. As evidenced by the far better title he just came up with. Adding it now.

Sent in my 2nd-ever entry as well, and I already regret all of my answers.

Kodos · 09-27-2016, 12:47 PM

Yeah, I didn't put nearly as much thought into this as some will. I basically went with Trump-like first impulse answers.
