I'm With Stupid (Apolyton Competition)
I got this game from another site's forums (FOFCentral)

The rules are simple. Pick the answer that you think will be the most popular. For instance, if the question is "what shape is a tire?" and 4 people answered square and only 3 answered circle, then those people answering square get 4 points and those answering ciricle only get 3 despite circle being the correct answer. The winner is the player with the highest sum of his scores (all 6 scores added together). The winner gets this job of hosting the next one and being moderator on questions.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE SENT BY PM TO THE HOST. Thank you .

The questions

(Entertainment)

1. Which is the best movie sequal of all time?
2. What is the best (English - as in language) comedy movie of all time?
3. Who is the best after 1950 music solo artist?

(Poly)

4. Who is the funnist poster of Poly's OT?
5. Which European country SHOULD be represented by more posters here?
6. Which social issue is the most divisive here? (ie, not economic issues like Communism/Capitalism)

--

I want between 20 and 30 players (though that might be asking too much). I want to end this competition by next Friday (the 16th) at 4 PM, Eastern US Time.

Oh, and of course as moderator of this one, I won't be playing... though maybe in the next one .

(edit: I added that #2 was English, as in language)

Oh, I just noticed there may be some confusion over question #2.

I meant it to be the language, not as England. I'll change the original post, and you who were confused can change as well.

You people better have put down Roy Orbison as the best solo artist of all time.

And it pays to put down ANYTHING, even if you don't know it. 1 is preferable to 0 in score (the 1 being you, of course) .

But that confusion might help the score of those that answered first...

I'm in. With the benefit of hindsight I realise that I should have read the rules first, so I'll just rely on a miracle to avoid looking like a tool.
