The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The totally unofficial ‘Freeola forums random fact about me game’.
To play the game forum members take it in turn to list 10 random facts about themselves, some must be true others total fabrications. Once a list as been submitted other members simply submit which they believe to be true and which they think are false. Whoever guesses the most correctly gets to go next, lists are only valid for 24 hours from posting. The 24 hour rule is automatically overruled if the poster spots an entry in which someone has guessed all 10 ‘facts’ correctly.
The (very loose) rules are:
Facts must be things fairly unusual not ‘I usually take the bus to work’ kind of thing. But not ridiculous either, none of this ‘I went to the moon and it was made of cheese’ stuff.
Each member can only submit 1 list but they can still continue to guess other peoples lists and I will attempt to keep some kind of championship board.
Each member can only guess once for each list and answers must be submitted under a ‘spoiler’ tag.
There must be a mix of true and false ‘facts’ (no all true or all false).
If 2 or more people get the same amount correct, whoever posted first gets to go next.
Think that’s about it really.
Right, think that’s pretty straightforward. Hope this gets more entries than this years MotoGP fantasy league!
Whoever is heading the leaderboard on 1/03/02 can now claim the award kindly given by Freeola for this thread. In the event of a tie I will post a final 10 'facts' to decide to winner on this date, if its me in the final 2 then I will ask another forum member (who doesn't know either of us in person) to do this. As with yesterday when we had the same number of people getting the number of guesses correct each get a championship point. Hope this gets some activity going over the next 14 days as anyone has a genuine chance to win.
Best of luck everyone.

You've had 24 hours, so here's my answers:
By my calculations DL won with an incredible 9.

Just marked El Vikings answers and Emmie and the currently unstoppable Butch seem to have tied so get a championship point each.
EDIT: purposely missed out the '87' from Emmie's username as it looked like he had 871 points!

Argh, sorry I didn't reply in a reasonable amount of time - I've been distracted by numerous things. Namely St Valentine's Day and writing bits of my thesis up.
Anyway, answers to my facts;
1) True
2) False – though I was once bitten by a pony at Tilbury Fort
3) True
4) False, obviously
5) False, though I have woken up next to my parents’ upstairs toilet
6) True
7) False – I got offered a job to Steward at Winbledon, but changed my mind
8) True
9) True
10) False, though it was a mile and a bit from my parents’ house.
Not sure who won there... time to have a go at Butch's!
I got 3/10 in that one at least.
