This. Will. Not. Do.



MrPhilb apologised and did at least post on the first task.



La Café, say sorry.

Shan't. Phil's had time to post 31 times on the other board since last Tuesday on topics like Tommy Lee, James Rule, fireworks displays in his back garden, Eric Bristow, Sarah Smith and Rovers new fake shirt. It's just a case of strategic prioritisation. I went on a course on this this week, maybe he needs to map out urgent v important and stakeholder management strategies on a flipchart with some permanent markers.

Surprise mini-challenge, surpise mini-challenge, surprise mini-challenge whooa-hoo-hoo-hoo.



Okay, both teams are going to be trying to identify a high-profile current RL player, by asking me a series of yes-no questions. The team that correctly identifies their player with the fewest questions wins. HU, your player is an Australian who plays in the NRL. NK, your player is English and plays in the ESL. They are both famous (by RL standards), I promise. Anybody can shout out a question at any time, but you might want to agree a strategy together - eg waiting for me to answer one question before asking the next. It's up to you. No team captains for this, so if you want to go rogue and yell out 'Is it Eorl Crabtree/Jamie Soward?' (it is neither of them) first question, you can. I'll answer any question I know the answer to or can find by a quick web search, as accurately as I can within the confines of yes and no - help me and yourselves out by asking the most precise questions you can. If you ask if his dad ran a tabaconist in Parramatta or whether his mum was a dinner lady at Swinton High or suchlike, you'll get 'don't know', but the question will still count on your tally. If I think your team is dragging their feet - perhaps to find out their target to beat, you'll get a warning and if you don't heed that, a penalty question adding to your tally. I am aware though the RLfans servers are being upgraded, so if the site is down, don't panic. (The server issue is also the reason for the betting challenge being delayed again).



Right... ready when you are.



Oh - team that loses has to boot someone off, of course.

MR. How are you going to decide who's taking too long bearing in mind the 10 hour time difference?

I don't like this one.

WormInHand is right, what about the 10 hour time difference?



P.S. The smart thing would have been to vote out dum-dum, but i suppose you'll have another chance soon.

Oooh! Why?

So you can get rid of some dead-weight.

No. You're on the wrong track, there. Laminate plasticky stuff weighs much less than solid wood floorboards. Silly Sean.

Just remember the 'strong' player you save now will be the guy you are competeing against later on.

It's never too early to stab a rival in the back.

By bearing in mind the 10 hour time difference.



And probably by being arbitrary and unfair. Does this indicate you intend to be cagey? FHS, it's a game of...







Remember it isn't a timed challenge - it is about doing it in fewest questions. Say you complete it while the Aussies are akip, their advantage is only in knowing what the target is - which is marginal IMO.



Two questions by 8.30pm this evening, as a minimum, please Hull Utd.

We've had our first question up since 9 this morning - but probably in the wrong place.



NK question 1 - is he a member of the current England test squad?

Yes.





(I just answered on LU. Ask here or there - but probably best to choose one or the other to avoid confusion).

we probably should keep it here

Any particular reason for that Mr. roopington?

It probably makes you nervous knowing we are down to 10 possibles after 2 questions - and the next question should do it i reckon.

I have literally soiled my under garments.

Sorry team, boom is difficult to access.



So, we're going with the does he play in a shirt with a "V" on question?



Edit: That's not an official question mild Rover, I'm seeking team clarification.

Dear Mild Rover,



Is player in question a forward?



PS, Mr. roopy's shameless creeping has been duly noted.

I fear I must be missing pages at a time because mostly, I wonder what the f... (Nearly, forgot where I was) you are all talking about.

Right, just been Down Under to spy.



Don't know if they're being deliberately deceitful or what but their second question was there:





...and MR's answer: "NO".



Looks like 5 questions there, to me, MR. Is their tally now at 6?



Some sterling work going on there by the Golden One, too

Aye, they never bite though, I thought this was supposed to be fun?



It's made the forum quieter, If anything.

I think they're the most boring people in the world. They think a sausage roll and a pie is a luxury meal out. Mind you, there's only two of them playing.

Yes.
