I'm stealing this from another forum. It's based off of a British TV game show called Pointless.

In this game, I will ask a series of questions. Each question will have multiple correct answers to them. Your goal is to find an answer that you think no one else will answer with. In other words, you are trying to find a "pointless" answer. However, the answer you give must be correct. Incorrect answers will be given penalties.

Your answers must be sent via PM to me (ry4n). Obviously, you are not allowed to discuss your answers with anyone else or post them in this thread until I reveal them.

You receive points based on how many other people answered the same way. So, in the following example, 6 people answered with "Rude". That means each of those 6 people would receive 6 points. 4 people said "Fancy", so each of them receive 4 points. Etc. If you answer with something that no one else answers with, you receive 0 points. In other words, it's a "point"-less answer. Get it?!?! Incorrect answers = (the total number of participants + 1) *. Whoever has the lowest score after all the questions, wins.

* + 1 because an incorrect answer should be worth more points than the very rare occurrence of every single person giving the exact same correct answer.

So, for example, say I ask: Name me a song that went #1 on the Hot 100 in 2014 (ie on any chart with a publish date of 2014)

Let's say these are the answers I receive; and this is how points would be awarded:

Albie - "Rude" - 6 points
Flip - "Rude" - 6 points
popstop - "Rude" - 6 points
Zeebz - "Rude" - 6 points
josh - "Rude" - 6 points
Sean - "Rude" - 6 points

Fancy - "Fancy" - 4 points
@jf816 - "Fancy" - 4 points
Mikey - "Fancy" - 4 points
Spidey - "Fancy" - 4 points

nick64 - "Blank Space" - 3 points
.indulgecountry - "Blank Space" - 3 points
H. - "Blank Space" - 3 points

Khia - "Dark Horse" - 2 points
Rocky - "Dark Horse" - 2 points

Juan Carlos - "Happy" - 2 points
surfy - "Happy" - 2 points

ry4n - "Timber" - POINTLESS ANSWER!!! - 0 points

Lahey's Lucky Star - "Sail" - INCORRECT ANSWER - 20 points [19 players + 1]

(sorry if you weren't tagged in my example. I just went with the first few names I saw in the games section threads.)

Which means I win. :) Just kidding.. obviously I wouldn't be playing since I'd know everyone's answers.

Also, as you can see, giving an incorrect answer puts you at a major disadvantage.

I'll draw up the questions sometime later today (or tomorrow if I'm lazy). Feel free to ask if I was unclear about anything.[/font][/font][/font]

Everyone seemed to hop on the lesser known tracks here. Interestingly, no one picked ARTPOP, Gypsy, Sexxx Dreams, or Venus
