So you've played Sheep and now it's time to play Peehs. The observant among you have already noticed that Peehs is Sheep backwards and that's how this game works. If you've seen the TV show Pointless then it's kinda like that too. You basically want to give the most unique correct answer to any given question.

SCORING
You get 1 point for a correct answer and 1 additional point for anyone who gives the same answer as you. There is a penalty for an incorrect answer. The lowest score wins.

INCORRECT ANSWERS
You will get a penalty for any incorrect answer given. You will score 1.5x the highest scoring correct answer.

RESEARCH IS ALLOWED
Peehs will often be played with no research allowed and on the honour system. But because this is a lot of people's first time and I don't trust some of you as far as I can throw you to uphold the honour system I'm going to allow research. I've specially chosen the questions with this in mind. You cannot however discuss questions in thread or influence other's answers in any way. You cannot quote answers, hint at answers or link research websites. It is up to the individual how or whether to research.

DUPLICATES ALLOWED
I said no duplicates in Sheep but have at it in Peehs (provided that it's a correct answer).

SUBMITTING YOUR ANSWERS
Once you've come up with your answers then PM them to me in an unspaced, unnumbered list. Don't add any additional message and don't quote the questions. If you break any of these rules it's not the end of the world, but it creates more work for me.

Example:

Quote:
Answer 1
Answer 2
Answer 3
...
Answer 10
SIMILAR ANSWERS MAY OR MAY NOT BE GROUPED. If someone answers NYC and someone else answers New York and a third person says New York City then I'll very likely group the answers since they all have the same meaning. If I believe your answer may have a different meaning to someone else's then I reserve the right to not group them. Modding decisions will be arbitrary and capricious.

The Questions

1). Name a WSOP Las Vegas Main Event Champion
2). Name a WSOP Player of the Year
3). Name somebody with 6 or more WSOP Bracelets (You may include WSOP Europe or Asia Pacific if you wish)
4). Name a member of the 2009 November 9
5). Name somebody who has cashed in either the 2012 or 2014 Million Dollar One Drop
6). Name somebody in the top 20 of the All Time Money list
7). Name somebody who has won 3 WSOP Bracelets in a single year (You may include WSOP Europe or Asia Pacific if you wish)
8). Name somebody who has won the WSOPE Main Event
9). Name somebody who has won a WSOP Las Vegas event that had a buy in of $25,000 or greater
10). Name somebody who has won WSOP Bracelets in 3 different decades

Any questions then ask in thread or PM me

I would like to join again, how can I send you (pm is not possible)?
06-07-2017 , 09:17 AM
I think when you get to just a few more posts your PMs will be activated.

Spam this thread a bunch and every so often try to send me a "test PM"

If it doesn't work then I'll figure something else out for you

Great, thanks Xander. Maybe some people will jump ship and join you in POG.

Hmmmm, I've never played a PEEHS where it is just based off of research. All my PEEHS experience is in sports where you pick your answers prior to the season where you are weighing a safe answer (which could still be wrong) vs. face melting aces.

This is just if you can think a level above the common population.

We have a popular game show in the UK called Pointless, which is peehs based. Has it not made it abroad yet?
06-07-2017 , 12:16 PM
I don't think they have their own version of it, but I know Americans who watch the British version

Yeah, the "open notes, open book" nature makes it tricky. When I first made my list, I kept thinking I had some great answers. Then I realize, no, EVERYONE will pick that one. But then I have to think, no, if it's such an obvious answer, then NO ONE will pick it. And it goes back and forth and back and forth.

So now I'm going back to pick some better responses given the rules of the game.

Just to make sure, this is the WSOP all-time money list, correct?

Yeah, this is a WSOP-themed game, so it seems like a pretty obvious "yes". But all other questions explicitly state the WSOP except for this.
06-07-2017 , 11:38 PM
Yeah, that should be clarified IMO.

I think I'll just put all the answers in a spreadsheet and use a random number generator to select.

That sounds like too much work though, but unexploitable!

the question is exactly as I intended it to be

It's the one question that doesn't have "WSOP" written in it, but the WSOP is responsible for a lot of that list (tenuous connection!)
06-09-2017 , 12:04 AM
Is there a buy in to play this? Or just a bragging rights prize?
06-09-2017 , 12:20 AM
fun
