Wipeout Round 1 Board 1 (Xalxe up)

[Prof. Guppy]

/in4tehwin

[Prof. Guppy]

Ecru is a brownish shade of white.

FAIL.

[Prof. Guppy]

Another string of correct answers followed by a wipeout? Are you trying to lose? What "Springtime for Hitler" angle are you working here?

[Prof. Guppy]

Chronomania is obv an obsession with time.

[Prof. Guppy]

I'm pretty sure hellenomaina is correct, so you fail again.

[Prof. Guppy]

U just gave away an answer and because she got a wipeout she didnt continue hence not answer

Geece

1) I'm pretty sure JDGA is a male.

2) It doesn't matter what answers I did or didn't "give away", because his answers are locked in, and this round will be over after his turn.

If you were trolling me to respond in this way, then MFA.

[Prof. Guppy]

Oh true lol! Sorry not trolling

Uh-huh. Sure. Whatever.

[Prof. Guppy]

Artemis Fowl is a 12-year-old

human

criminal mastermind.

You must grow tired of being wrong all the time.

[Prof. Guppy]

For too long, I've watched you fail. Now it's my turn.

[Prof. Guppy]

You could have just waited for JDGA to guess.

Uh, he was playing the bonus round, as in the solo round.

[Prof. Guppy]

I'm going with

Brandenberg, Bavaria, Bremen, and stop

. I love alliteration. I would have gone for the last one too, but I'm not too sure.

[Prof. Guppy]

I wonder why Hitler isn't on the list D:

Because it's a list of Germany's States, not its rulers. RTFT.

[Prof. Guppy]

I think I've got this sussed now.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Badenwuerttemburg, and stop

I thought I had the last one too, but I didn't feel like taking the risk.

[Prof. Guppy]

I thought the final right answer was the one animorpherv1 picked. Thanks and sympathy to him for clearing it for me. And to Drench as well for the other answer.

Thuringia FTW

Zurich is a city in Switzerland. (Or it would be, if it were spelt with an umlaut, the way it ought to.)

[Prof. Guppy]

Drat, it's pop culture. Well, there goes my massive chunk o' change.

[Prof. Guppy]

Bobby McFerrin will help me hold the line, for now.

Don't Worry, Be Happy, and pass

The fewer answers I give, the less likely I am to wipeout.

Also, I am voting against this new rule. I like playing this way, it keeps you on your toes all the while.

[Prof. Guppy]

I would like to see the board again before I wipeout, k?

[Prof. Guppy]

Lover Come Back To Me

That is all.

[Prof. Guppy]

Crap, it's three and four. That means I actually have to know one, or I'm as good as cooked. Oh well, tis all pretense.

All That She Wants

Stop after that. It may all be pretense, but on some level, I still want to win.

[Prof. Guppy]

No. But, I'll take a wild guess anyway.

Banned in the USA

[Prof. Guppy]

No, Guppy can.

I insist.

Thank you, Drench. This chair is quite comfy, but what's with all the wires coming out of it?

[Prof. Guppy]

Okay, let's get a bunch of these answers off the board real fast.

Casino Royale, Dr. No, From Russia With Love, The Spy Who Loved Me

I'll pass after those. They all sound like Bond, but I'm not sure which are novels and which are not.

[Prof. Guppy]

Thanks again Drench. Maybe you should hang on to that avatar; it suits you.

Give me

Thunderball

. And give me

The World Is Not Enough

.

Then give me Ani wiping out, thank you very much.

[Prof. Guppy]

Hate to break it to you, but EON Productions made The World Is Not Enough up. You lose $900.

Drat. Double Drat! Double Dog Drat!

[Prof. Guppy]

Go, go? What am I, a Power Ranger?

Gimme a hot spot under

Moonraker

.

[Prof. Guppy]

TRY AGAIN.

What the hell. You only

Live and Let Die

once.

[Prof. Guppy]

Cinqo

[Prof. Guppy]

I'll bid a reluctant

6

Exactly what I wanted. You're going to have to

Prove it!

[Prof. Guppy]

Abigail

will help me hang on to my sweet trip to, uh, Whereverton.

[Prof. Guppy]

I love the finesse play.

[Prof. Guppy]

I know the Number 1 boy's name. It was on the Million Dollar Money Drop.

Besides that one, I think I can name three others,

four

in total.

[Prof. Guppy]

:pfft: Like I'm taking this bullet.

Challenge

[Prof. Guppy]

Well played, ani. Wish I could do that.

[Prof. Guppy]

You live in the USA. I do not.

But I do!

Eight

for the game.

[Prof. Guppy]

Okey-dokey.

FDR, Jackson, Hamilton, Kennedy, Grant, Anthony, Franklin, and McKinley

[Prof. Guppy]

Ben Franklin is obvwrong, dammit

Looks like I'm having the last

BTW, don't feel too bad ani. It's just a stupid game, after all.

[Prof. Guppy]

No clue, so,

the whole left side

, please

[Prof. Guppy]

The center six

[Prof. Guppy]

Okay, I couldn't gather much, but I did get something out of that.

As my final guess, I am going to say

Numbers 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12

, reading left to right and top to bottom.

[Prof. Guppy]

Are you home yet? It's been five days. Where are you coming back from, the moon?

[Prof. Guppy]

Well, at least I had the numbers per column. Given how much crap I give about the Foxtrot strip (i.e. none), that's pretty good. And who wants to retire undefeated after one game anyway?

[Prof. Guppy]

Happy Birthday Mist.

And where's the new game? I wanna do some more winning, plz!

[Prof. Guppy]

All right, let's get the easy ones off the board first.

Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Fresno

The rest I'm not too sure about, so I'll pass after that.

[Prof. Guppy]

San Beradino, Sonoma, pass

[Prof. Guppy]

You know your California cities, don't you?

Those last two were guesses.

[Prof. Guppy]

Nicely sussed, K. I believe you and I are going to be worthy opponents for each other.

[Prof. Guppy]

bump

[Prof. Guppy]

It's Monday, already. Is mallow un-V/LA yet?

[Prof. Guppy]

I'll go with

Gonzales and Armstrong

for starters.

[Prof. Guppy]

shut up ani.

Nou.

JESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Prof. Guppy]

I'll start with

The dot-com bubble

, and see what happens.

[Prof. Guppy]

Me and my $900 say mallow's got jack.

[Prof. Guppy]

There's another plane crash on the board?

[Prof. Guppy]

Fox and Chernobyl

For the Win!

I've played Chrononauts enough times to know that Columbine occured April 20, 1999. Thank you Andrew Looney!

[Prof. Guppy]

Exactly how long is a bit, man? It's been five days.

[Prof. Guppy]

Would you like me to give you some ideas? :evilgrin:

[Prof. Guppy]

I'm just saying, I could throw out some ideas, and you could turn them into questions without telling me in advance what the questions are.

For example, guess which actors have been in a movie or tv show and which haven't.

Or names of world record holders. Or something.

[Prof. Guppy]

US, Cuba, Japan, Spain, England...

Then pass

Not your turn, charlatan!

I say

US, Cuba, Japan, Spain, England, and Uruguay, and pass.

[Prof. Guppy]

Prof. Guppy did not pick the Hot Spot.

Oh, poo. I wanna go to Vegas.

[Prof. Guppy]

Let's do

Trinidad and Tobago, and Nepal.

I'm not sure about the others, so I'll pass.

[Prof. Guppy]

dammit... i don't know....

i think the capital of austrailia is... like melborne or somthing so..

cyprus and tuvalu

HERP DERP I FAIL

The only thing you failed at was trying to guess the capital of Australia. It's Canberra, BTW

[Prof. Guppy]

Being smart is awesome. I'm sure my esteemed opponent would agree.

EDIT: Speaking of my esteemed opponent, I believe his score is really $4,200.

[Prof. Guppy]

dammit... i don't know....

cyprus and tuvalu

HERP DERP I FAIL

The only thing you failed at was trying to guess the capital of Australia. It's Canberra, BTW

lol
Incidentally, Canberra was created for the sole purpose of being the capital city after Melbourne and Sydney couldn't come to an agreement on which one should be. Canberra was deliberately positioned approximately halfway between the two so as to be a good compromise.

Huh. You learn something new every day.

this.

YOU GOIN DOWN GUPPY

Quote pyramids are awesome, yes?

[Prof. Guppy]

I know two right answers for certain, and two wrong ones. So,

solo dos para mi

[Prof. Guppy]

No way am I playing this round.

Challenge.

[Prof. Guppy]

I'm almost tempted to blow it, just to mess with Mr. Spot.

Nah, that'd just be cruel.

Murder on the Orient Express FTR

[Prof. Guppy]

I knew

And then there were none

was correct, and

K for Killer

was a Wipeout.

[Prof. Guppy]

I can name

seven

for certain, but I don't know if one of the ones I think is a Wipeout is actually a typo. Is the first answer spelled that way intentionally?

[Prof. Guppy]

Oops, I think I just unintentionally hindered my chances of victory.

[Prof. Guppy]

I think you're still safe.

[Prof. Guppy]

BUMP

[Prof. Guppy]

No. Bor

on

is a chemical element, Borax is a chemical

mixture

used for cleaning.

The correct answer is

Cobalt

.

But you played an excellent game, and it was an honor to defeat you.

[Prof. Guppy]

Next round? Don't you mean "bonus game"? I won both rounds, that means I win the game, right? Not to be a munchkin about it, but still...

[Prof. Guppy]

I was waiting for this.

Yukon, Spider, Forty Thieves, Golf, Klondike, and Canfield FTC!

Sorry, SC, looks like all you're getting is a tacky gold watch.

[Prof. Guppy]

I know one off the top of my head, thanks to his being in the news lately.

In that case, you know one more than me.

[Prof. Guppy]

By Jove, I think he's got it!

[Prof. Guppy]

watch it be wrong lol.

[Prof. Guppy]

Newton is wrong. It's the product of kg*m/s^2.
