I think Cleazer is right and he asked this question before and Iron was the runaway obvious answer. I knew that but still expected Inside to overtake it for all the reasons, including the glut of new players.

rules for promotion playoffs this year: -There will be 2 rounds of questions -Instead of awarding points in the order that people finish (like 4, 3, 2, 1), we will instead be using the total points that people score through the various questions, so the scores will be something like 41, 39, 38, 34. Then the two numbers for the two different rounds will be added together.
Damn, you and your facts, however one question is not enough to make canon. So sayeth the flock. Also regarding helicopters, not everything can always be about helicopters all the time. Let it lie a bit, then pounce when the pun is right.
Drunk Lambs: great sheep squad or greatest sheep squad? I was going back through the record books and realized that this season's triumph puts us atop the trophy count at six trophies overall and the only squad to do the double twice. I wonder what could have been if we didn't have a couple season hiatus. Long live the Drunk Lambs!
Stupid facts. As for the helicopter thing, I think someone around here might want to consider discussing his obsession with a trained professional.
Ouch. As I was taught from a young age, no good deed goes unpunished. I accept both my failure and my mediocrity . . . My gosh, a great burden has been lifted!

6. name your favorite Spider-Man villain Green Goblin - 2 Doc Ock - 1 Lex Luthor - 1 (Okay, I agree that Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus are legit answers, but I figured this would be a gimme this weekend, what with an actual Venom movie and all that.) 7. name your second favorite Spider-Man villain Venom - 2 Green Goblin - 1 General Zod - 1 (Okay, somebody obviously effed up here. Amusingly, it's not going to cost them a whole gigantic ton of points. If there had been 8 people playing this week, the point differentials probably could have been a bit more painful. As is, they wound up losing 2 points on #8, and that's about it.) 8. name your third favorite Spider-Man villain Doc Ock - 3 Faora - 1 9. name your fourth favorite Spider-Man villain Doc Ock - 1 Kingpin - 1 Sandman - 1 Ursa - 1 (Somebody is obviously a big fan of Doctor Octopus.) 10. name your fifth favorite Spider-Man villain Electro - 2 Sandman - 1 Non - 1 (Okay, you can't make a Superman list without naming Brainiac.

The only time I've ever finished top! Of course, there's only 4 players, and it's a two-leg event. Here's hoping my sheep don't lose their wool in the second leg.

No obvious answer.) 3. how many of the Harry Potter movies have you seen? 8 - 3 5 - 1 (You've either seen none or all. Or maybe 1 or 2. Certainly not 5.) 4. please name a country that shares a border with Costa Rica Panama - 4 5. of the main non-cable networks, which one do you watch the most NBC - 3 ABC - 1 (A little surprised this one had a leading answer.
