The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

Nice set pb :¬)
Ooh, I thought that might fox some of you.
I'll wait till the morning in case anyone else wants a try.

1. I once asked Tom Baker what he wanted for his epitaph.
True - it was at a book signing
2. I asked Colin Baker why people thought his Doctor was the worst.
- False. I wouldn't have been so rude to the great CB!
3. I rode a horse called Rimmer while in Scotland.
- True. Much to the amusement of my brother.
4. I have Star Wars on Laserdisc
- False. I don't even own a Laserdisc player.
5. I used to own a Morris Traveller.
- True. You could get into it by sliding the window back.
6. I was forced to take part in a Morris dance
- True, last year at the school fair as a Governor.
7. My uncle nearly sold his car to Shaking Stevens,
- True. It was just one of those things.
8. I have never seen the Godfather trilogy.
- True, only parts of it.
9. My first purchase from Special Reserve was a PS1
- False, it was an original Gameboy.
10. I climbed across the roof at my secondary school to lay telephone cables while in 6th form.
- True. It was a project to have a telephone system between buildings and we had to climb through the roof panels, looking down at the classrooms. We didn't in any way use it as an excuse to look at girls, of course. All in the days before health and safety I guess!
I make that DL who got the most right.

Looks like DL's Rocky style comeback is going to be a touch more successful than mine! Cheers for that pb, will update the leaderboard now.
OK DL, your turn.

Wow DL, that is one very hard to guess list, excellent stuff. As it's usually quieter on here over weekends I reckon we should leave this up until midday Monday (ish), does that seem fair to everyone?
Don't fancy my chances of getting on the leaderboard with this but here goes:
