IWS #216 - Computing with Stupid
In this iteration of I'm With Stupid, we will find out how well the bright lights of the FOFC forum know Stupid and his computer.
(This IWS is inspired by recent events I have experienced personally...  )The Rules The rules are the same as previous FOFC Im With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the games omnipotent and most truly beloved founding pantheon. 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. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be 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. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well. All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring 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 "Which is the best version of Football Manager?" and you answer "The newest one" along with 13 other people, you each regrettably will be awarded 14 points -- even though the correct answer is "The one you have the best savegame for." ******************************************************* The Hall of Heroes
Spoiler
******************************************************* IWS #216 - Computing with Stupid Stupid recently suffered one of the greatest tragedies that can befall a text-sim lover and FOFC regular--the death of his laptop. For IWS #216, let's piece together the circumstances of this unfortunate episode. 1. What brand of laptop was Stupid running? 2. How long had Stupid had his laptop before it kicked the bucket? 3. What was the ultimate cause of the laptop's demise? 4. How much time will Stupid spend shopping for a new laptop? 5. What will be the feature that Stupid cares about the most in a new laptop? 6. How much money will Stupid spend on his new laptop? ******************************************************* Please PM your answers to me with "IWS #216" in the title. The contest will run for a while, being that I need access to a computer to tally the results...  I'll keep you posted. |

Monday morning bump... I'll probably let this run all week. We'll see what the submission rate is when we approach the holiday weekend.

Thanks for the bumping help, you guys...
Since this has been up over a week, I'll just read the rest of the forum (been gone several days over Easter), take any new entries, and get the results up. Okay?  |
