[Round Four] Game 1: The Power Converters vs. The Dancing Ewoks

Brills!

 

Looks like we might be going to the Tosche Station to pick up some Dancing Ewoks!!!

 

3 rounds vs 1 (the math still seems to me, can we not do the mod rounds next year since it throws everything off) - will soon be 4 rounds vs 1

 

Next year? LOL. The last time these happened were the 10th anniversary in 2008, which I sadly missed being part of, but I don't think we'll see this game again until 2028. If we're lucky and we ask nicely, maybe at the 25 year?!

 

First round: 83 points
Second round: 84 points
Third round: 33 points
Fourth round: 219 points

 

I don't really think the order of the rounds matters much anyway, does it? I was more just talking about the points totals for each round. Anyway, it's all good.

@vin @Diggy Anything to tell Tony?

 

Go to your middle initial, @EHT

 

Heaven?

 

Close, Hel...sinki, Finland.

 

Thanks @Darth Chiznuk . You were a fun host. Those last two long-scrolling suspense building posts were fantastic.

 

Sorry The Power Converters! You were great opponents and made this game fun to watch. Don't go to Heaven or Helsinki, but if you do go somewhere, like a pub to drown your sorrows, have one for me!

 

Not to come off as the whiny one, but typically each round is with more than the one before it. But round three was worth int 24 points TOTAL.

That makes zero sense. In our case, we manage to steal and win a round with all but one answers worth of points on the table yet the entire round was worth less than a single answer in ny other round.

I’m sorry, but that is really flawed. Should not round three be worth more points Than round one or two, and if there were only 24 available points TOTAL for that round, shouldn’t it be prorated to reflect an equivalent value??

Otherwise the round is kind of pointless and worth next to nothing.

 

Birkendoc? More like Birkenwhine.
Ya lost kid! Now scram before Chiz gives you something to really whine about.

 

@Birkendoc
First round: 83 points
Second round: 84 points
Third round: 33 points

Hypothetically, if the mod question was round 2 then the 11 points would have been doubled to 22
and round 3's 42 points would be tripled to 126.

So hypothetically, it would have been
1: 83
2: 22
3: 126

Your total would have been 231 which would still have not been enough points to win - still resulting in the same series of events with the 4th and 5th round so....

 

I'm not a sore loser, but the way it ended kind of leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I really would suggest throwing out the mod surveys next time around. They are too subjective, unless they are prorated to be worth a base 100 (doubled/tripled according to the round) they really screw up the flow and course of the game and are kind of useless.

 

I hear ya. In our play in game, we got 8 points from the mod question round which didn't help us in the slightest in the end. I think the idea was that the mod questions were supposed to add some fun to the game but I understand it's frustrating as they didn't help in winning the game because the points didn't matter.

 

Congratulations on the exciting game, players! I honestly thought Hitler would be #2 on the 'most portrayed historical figures' list ...

 

It's my next favorite quote of the game so far other than Show Me a Stripper.

 

Congrats, Dancing Ewoks.

 

Congrats Ewoks. Have fun in the fast money round.
