Well, I figured if I don't get 100 I can extrapolate

or ask like-minded friends. And so can all y'all. Lack of cellar knowledge can only serve to make it more interesting, eh?

omg guys the results are great! keep them coming.... if nothing else, this is a much more fun way to do a pointless cellar quiz than answering one by one

I did it earlier and it was a ton of fun! Thanks monster! Not sure how the game will play out but just answering was a blast.

How will the game work?

I'm thinking we will split the whole cellar into two teams
male/female
USA/restoftheworld
first name A-L/M-Z
blue eyes/other colors

or something like that so you don't have to be in at the beginning to be on a team.

i'll try to start rounds at different times of day -especially if we do USA/world.

First person to answer has the floor, all others should restrain or consider themselves to be conferring aloud. If they get top answer, their team plays. If they don't the other team has a chance to get a higher answer. first one from that team has the floor. If they get it, that team plays, if not is back to the first team.

Which ever team is playing, first to post an answer from that team who has not already played in that round has the floor. If they get a top 5 answer, points are added to the total and their team is still in play. if they don't, they get X.

If a team gets all 5 before they get 3 X, they win the points. If not, floor is opened to the other team. They get one guess. First person is it (so you might wanna be really really careful.) If the first word of your post is "confer" it will not be counted as a guess so team members can discuss.... if they get one of the missing answers, that team steals all the points.

something like that?

number of letters in the username? odd versus even
I'm excited about the game!

The teams would need to be even, no? If so, geography and odd/even or eye color and the like are not going to be an even distribution. It would have to be something like alternating teams as people signed up, or just randomizing selections from a list of all players. Or else it should be boys vs. girls.

Should it be random, or try to be even strengths?

Pick two captains, who choose their teams?

I think he said it was interfering with his work. Still, I always thought he'd come back.
