EPP masquerading as Dean Martin?

I was thinking Bing Crosby. This being a penguins message board and all.

he was a Pirate owner, wrong sport...

I keep coming back to this post.

In this game the panelists answers are the only real evidence we have (so far) to use. IMO that leaves me, Troy Loney, and Crankshaft as the 3 most probable reds based on that information alone. We each gave the least probable answers as panelists therefore reducing the possible points fellow contestants earn.

I'm not red and between TL and Crank, TL gave the least probably answer as panelist (John Glenn for "what the canadians left on the moon).

<blank> Troy Loney

Why does PFIDC name Crank here instead of relantel? Crank's answer was clowns, which wasn't an odd answer at all (in fact it was what I thought of), although I guess his addition of 'Hamburger-Happy' could have been an attempt to not have it count.

I overthought it. I went to the Ronald McDonald wiki and the clown thing was what stood out to me the most. Buns of anarchy didn't make sense. I wanted to choose something that at least made sense.

My point was that rel's panel answers were far more suspicious than yours, but PFIDC avoided naming him as a potential red.

Your reply here sure doesn't make me any less suspicious of you, though. You had to wiki Ronald McDonald? Really?

[redwill]

Ehh, may as well do another contestant match. Lemme get it together.

[redwill]

OK, our panelists are working on the question for this round.

Let's see who our contestant is this time.

It's Crankshaft!

As soon as our panelists have given their answers, we'll turn to Crankshaft for an answer.

[Willie Kool]

**** I wish I was on this panel. Crank would have loved my answer.

[Willie Kool]

Which is to say, I would deliberately try to NOT match him.

[relantel]

so it looks like we have this:

EPP - 3 - Crankshaft, Rylan, nan
Rel - 2 - WK, EPP
Rylan - 1 - Rel
Crankshaft - 1 - TL

Looks like Pecky hasn't voted yet. And even that, we're too spread out for a majority.

[redwill]

So deadline at noon I guess.

[PensHckyFan79]

Boot EPP Just seems more suspicious to me at this point

[Willie Kool]

The timing of Crank's vote switch off PFIDC and the fact that rel hasn't switched to EPP to save himself makes me think

<unblank> rel

<blank> Crank

[redwill]

OK, Crankshaft!

Our panelists have given their answers. Please give us your response to the following:

Mary said, "My doctor is REALLY near-sighted. He told me to open up and say 'AHH' and when I did he stuck a tongue depressor in my <blank>."

We're waiting for you, Crankshaft!

[Crankshaft]

I'm going to go with the PG-safe answer...nose.

[redwill]

OK, Crankshaft, you said "nose."

Lots of possibilities with this one. Let's see what our panelists said.

Brett Somers (relantel) said: "bosom" Hey! Our first boobs sighting of the game!
Charles Nelson Reilly (newarenanow) said: "nostril"
Richards Dawson (Pecky) said: "eye"
Betty White (Rylan) said: "ear"

Crankshaft, your nose scored 1 point!

[Crankshaft]

really? just one?

[redwill]

Current point totals (from panelist-contestant matches) of the remaining players:

Willie Kool - 1
ExPatriatePen - 1
Crankshaft - 1
relantel - 0
PensHckyFan79 - 1
Rylan - 0
newarenanow - 0
Troy Loney - 0


If I do another Match Game Wars I'm obviously gonna have to tweak the matching points system. Despite the fact that there have been two 3-point opportunities, the points just aren't racking up to make much of a difference.

EDIT: It doesn't help that we have had no repeat contestants. But I really am going randomly.

[MRandall25]

I applaud the "buzzums" answer.

[redwill]

I have to be gone for an hour or so.

12 PM (Eastern) deadline. I should be back by then.

[relantel]

was I the only one that had their first answer to that last question rejected as not meeting standards?

[redwill]

was I the only one that had their first answer to that last question rejected as not meeting standards?

Yes, you were the only one.

MRandall had his answer to the sheep question rejected (I'll let you guess what it was).

[MRandall25]

It wasn't as dirty as you'd think, but still dirty enough to be rejected

[redwill]

10 minutes to deadline. If no majority is reached, the leading vote-getter gets it.

[redwill]

Final count at deadline:

4 - EPP
2 - Crankshaft
1 - relantel
1 - Rylan

Write-up coming.
