The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.

There is currently one Seat Ibiza driving, Weakest Link contestant who's sibling has been romantically linked to a crime against music hogging that coveted no.1 spot, so now is your chance to take him down.
Of course, this is all conjecture, and may, in fact, be utter garbage.
I have passed your proposal along to dean5, and he seemed happy with it, expect him to pop in here later to confirm.

Firstly thank you much Freeola for awarding this a win it really is massively appreciated. However, I have won twice recently and really don't wish to be greedy so here is what I propose, whoever is head of the leaderboard on St. David's Day (March 1st, am I patriotic or what?) can claim my GAD. If it's me then I'll take it, but you guys (forum members and staffies) have now got a legitimate chance to mug me.

Hope this is OK with Freeola as I really don't wish to seem ungrateful in anyway as that is honestly not the case. I set this up purely as bit of fun but now I expect things are going to get personal!
Right, the more entries/guesses we get over the next 14 days, the more chances there is to get on that rather sexy looking leaderboard.

Some good guesses so far. Will reveal the answers when I am in tomorrow morning to allow people time to enter, and pb a chance to post if he wins :)

**Thanks for the excellent suggestion DL haha ;¬)** 
Always get to this thread too late to post! Hah. I'll have a go at these anyway:
Right, leaderboard updated and if I may say so myself it looks bloody gorgeous. Expecting a surge of entries now as forum members fight to have their names up on that.
Excellent list Butch, here goes:
