Yo, 1 Vs. 100 that's a very small fraction.

So I like playing 1 Vs 100. The Live shows are neat, and all the other shows they have are cool, too, even though I don't know about a bunch of stuff they ask.
One time, the question was "What do artists use to support their paintings while they make them?" and because I am impatient and didn't finish reading the answers I hit the button to answer "Easter" instead of "Easel" and then I felt bad but I'm OK now.
Does anybody wanna play tonight?

It's an XBox Live shindig.
Of all the silly goose humbug
well you get bonus points for answering quickly
so you have easel, right?
and easel and easter both share the first three letters
so if people are going for the speed answer and the first thing they see is eas then they're gonna go with that because they're automatically assuming it's gonna be easel.
tricksters
And yeah, if you're good enough you can get MS money and Live Arcade games.
If anybody wants to play tonight my gamertag is also Perrsun.
And the first answer was "Dido" and I didn't hit it, but the 3 other people playing with me did, and I was proud of myself.
Also a few nights ago one of the questions was "Where does the Amazon River flow through?" The possible answers were "Phoenix, Arizona" "South America" and "Middle-Earth." ... It wasn't a tricky question but I liked it anyway.
i love trivia
heehee
Right, but as long as you have that the game is free.
oh well
I just don't see how people put in instant answers, every time. It's not even a targeted trivia! It's just general crap.
The worst is all the questions about Survivor.
Edit: The best question in the live game was
"What is the main gas in human flatulance"
X) obvious wrong answer A) Methane
Every time I hear about farts it is involved with methane (pigs, cows, etc), so I locked that in feeling all cocky. It was Nitrogen. The one lost, and the mob (with 50 left) all lost. The woman was like "well would you look at that? Everyone loses!"
and just think
if you win 1 v 100, it would pay for itself! So just bank on that and you should be fine.
of course then i promptly missed some stupid fucking question and plummeted
i need those 7 dollars
My dad says butane is a bastard gas.
me and nap both won in the mob on the same night because we awesome
I wanna demolish you stans
edit: well, up to four that is.
i take comfort in knowing i am 100% always the highest leveled person in the group
my streak is 26 questions right
they ask so many dumbass mls questions though and it pisses me off
3 more levels till i can do the michael jackson dance
i have the carlton
and let me tell ye
it is prolific
and then i double their scores
awwww yeah
the prize i got was the maw
it was a really fun game, but i wish i would have won on ikaruga night >:C
i didn't really pay any attention the one time i showed up for the live show since it was rez and i already have that
well, if enough people in the mob lose, you get a game + points, but you almost always get a game
i did not know this at the time, but that game is the exact same game that the top 3 in the mob get which is gayy
maw is fun though guys. i liked it a lot.
okay also i didn't beat the one
he got disconnected
A thought occured to me though. It always seems to be the same folks getting the top 10 spots and I've noticed some of the questions are repeated in the general trivia every few nights. Is it possible that those people just play so much that they know all the answers because of seeing them before so they just spam their buttons for speed bonus?
And the mob (and one) get chosen each round by either selecting from highest weekly scores, season scores, or the highest round scores. You just never know which one.
yes.
they recycle questions like CRAZY. if you play for a week, you should be able to demolish anyone
also im on and playing this right now. but i do not have my mic so there's that
We were encouraged to act as wildly as possible. They told us our only chance to win was to communicate with the one guy in the middle and put him under pressure by shouting and encouraging him to continue. I don't know how much of this holds true.
There were many dropouts because of the long duration. There were multiple takes of everything and numerous technical problems because the show and the studio were pretty fresh when I attended. I finally took the place of a dropout in show 3, so I took part in all three shows. Standing up there and pushing buttons doesn't seem like a lot of work, but somehow it was very exhausting. Those damn studio lights may have something to do with that.
The mob and the one have different screens on which they can read their answers. As a member of the mob, you have for small buttons on your desk and you need to push them in a very short timeframe. The one has the advantage of being able to think about his answer, whereas the mob must answer almost immediately. If you don't answer fast enough, you're out.
The lights behind you also give off a lot of heat and you aren't allowed to lean against them because this would cause the electronics to fail. So you have to stand the entire show. You aren't allowed to drink when the camera's focusing on you. I think I remember one of the assistants giving us a sign when it was okay to drink or to eat some of the Dextro Energy which they had handed out.
Among the assistants was a guy whose job it was to get us into the right mood before each show. He communicated with the mob, played some games with us and invited people to join a dance choreography.
