Oh yeah.  This thing.

I know I'm just an observer here, but I feel obligated to say this...  go back and read the first post in this thread again, please.  Now come back and look over the last couple pages.

Anyone else noticed that its gone from a wacky, crazy fun joking session to a long-winded essay contest drawn out over a week while everyone tries to write the perfect composition?

I think, at some point, this thing jumped the shark.. Tongue  You guys might consider making it fun again, just sayin'  Wink

CREED



I'd actually voiced this concern to Dilbert privately, but then he reminded me that it was bound to get away from the original purpose as soon as other people began to become the Dungeon Master. I'd considered posting up that complaint, but if people like doing the DoD this way, then who am I to say they're doing it wrong if they enjoy doing it like this?

Still, I'd like to once in a while see a comedic question, like "Taipei Death Match: Eric Bischoff vs. a donkey. Who wins and why?" or "You're in a car with Adrian Adonis. At any point do you think about jumping out?"

Just saying.

CREED

Creed, you aren't the only one to notice that we've drifted from the original concept of the DoD a fair bit; QR made mention of that to me this weekend. I'd noticed the shift, but didn't really mind, for a couple reasons. First, we're writing answers, rather than talking this out on the spot. That lends itself to thinking answers through as opposed to shooting from the hip. (There's also the fact that not everyone can be here at the same time. Sometimes real life draws this out, rather than the desire for perfect composition.) Second, it's OK for an adaptation to drift from the original sometimes. It happens, it's natural, and as long as people are still enjoying it, it's perfectly fair. Third, from a selfish perspective, I find it easier to answer the more reality-based questions (most triumphant personal example one post above yours), and it's easier for me to come up with thought-provokers than comedy ones.

That being said, I've had a fair bit of time to think about some funny ones, and hopefully I can bring the comedy back with my next set of questions. Drifting's fine, but if you drift too far, you lose your moorings. It's time to get back in touch with the real DoD.

Next round, I promise 0 srs bzns. Funny questions for all!

My bad for turning things serious... I guess when I got smacked around for "Radiohead - The Bends - Great Radiohead Album, or Greatest" (Where folks missed my nod to Steven Colbert) I mistook that as a need for things serious.

Maybe that has less to do with tone, and more to do with TCO users not caring about Radiohead.. Wink

And there's the rub. Colbert would often ask during the Bush administration the following question of some of his left wing guests "George Bush - Great American President, or Greatest American President" when the guest clearly felt neither was appropriate.

Watching a guest deal with that question was typically amusing. So in the light spirited nature where figuring many users might not be that familiar with Radiohead (they don't seem to be your average Wrestling Fan's band.) the question was posed, not expecting the minor crap storm and offense that arose from such a question.

It just came so far out of left field that I, at least, had no idea how I was supposed to react to it, if you were 100% serious or trying to be tongue-in-cheek or something else entirely. Stephen Colbert does so much that's worth referencing that mentioning him doesn't narrow it down at all.

Well, if next round is gonna be all lulz, then count me in!

And quite honestly Goth, I had no idea you were trying to reference Stephen Colbert with that (I don't even consider that particular bit a well-worn trademark of his). I pretty much answered it seriously because I thought you honestly wanted to know.

Plus, after seeing the cheap heat flowing out, I knew my answer would be an easy five points.

my bad. i wasn't trying to be offensive or offended. just brought it up since it seemed so out of place.

personally, i don't care if the questions are funny or serious. i'm obviously not very good at answering them, but it's still fun to think of answers.

also, dibs on the round after this one.

I also, had no idea it was a ref to Stephen Colbert. Also also, i do not like Radio Head, so i gave my honest answer, lol.

As Deava said, it was such a twist from the normal questions that had been posed at that point, i think most people thought it was serious. I think, had you said "Bob Backlund: Great American Wrestler, or Greatest American Wretsler" most of us still wouldnt have gotten the refrence, but the answers may have been a little more light hearted.

Also, lets go Dungeon Master! Get these questions up! I wanna win so i can pose some real wacky ones next round!

OK, so this round is Antigoth, QR, kbjone, SAA, and maskedllama. Next round: me, homeless.

And now, to the questions!

1. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Palumbo?

2. If not Neidhart, then Who?

3. Your phone broke. It still receives calls and texts, but every time it does, it blares out your ringtone at max volume, and you can't mute it. Which ringtone do you take: Vickie Guerrero's EEEEEXXXXCCCUUUUUUU UUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSEEE EEEEE MMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE EE!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Michael Cole's "May I Have Your Attention Please, I have just received an e-mail from the anonymous General Manager," Yamaguchi-San shouting "I choppy choppy your pee-pee!", or Steven Regal's "Real Man's Man" theme song?

1: Near Infinite. Palumbo's still mostly a jobber, after all.

2: Alternate between Terry Taylor and Hector Guerrero, destroying jobbers left and right. Once you unmask one of them, they team up to form the Flock. Their first recruit: Koko B. Ware.

2. Goldberg, because "WHO'S NEXT"

We just need Antigoth's answers, then we can move on.

Also: I have told Matt Ryan, one half of The Programme With Matt & Ben (the originator of the DoD) about our version of it. I also gave him examples of some of the questions used for our DoD, and he was impressed. Enough so that he has brought up the possibility of doing a "Best of TCO" DoD, where I would pick the ten best TCO DoD questions and host the DoD for one night on the show. Keep this in mind when thinking up questions, because if your questions is good enough, it could be asked on a future show.

Awww Crap...

1) The Woodchuck could chuck a lot of wood if it was the Chuck and Billy chuck but if it was the Palumbo & O'Haire chuck, then the Woodchuck would choke on the unrealized potential.

2) Layla El, because I always liked cookies and cream ice cream.

3) Vickie because I look at the room and say "I'm sorry, it's my mother, I have to take this."

Sorry... I spent the weekend doing a massive amount of yard work, and tried to avoid thinking/using the computer as much as possible.

The results are in, and we have a winner!

I'm just not going to tell you Who (not Neidhart) yet, because I have yet to explain myself.

Question the First:

maskedllama: 2 - One for you, and one for the horse you rode in on.
SmartAssAssassin: 3 - You're Welcome.
kbjone: 1 - Interestingly, quantity of wood and quantity of points appear to have an inverse relationship.
Queensryche: 5 - All my 5 are belong to this answer. I wonder if that's where they keep the government mule?
Antigoth: 4 - If a woodchuck could Chuck Palumbo, he would chuck this answer because he could Chuck Palumbo. But he would probably chuck Palumbo into the woodshed.

ReneƩ Montoya:

maskedllama: 3 - Yes.
SmartAssAssassin: 5 - Everybody!
kbjone: 2 - Caw.
Queensryche: 4 - Hulk Hogan with a bodyslam and a legdrop.
Antigoth: 1 - Owowowow! Brain freeze!

Question 33 1/3: The Final Insult:

maskedllama: 1 - But if you listened to the whole thing, the caller would go to voicemail. Important, but inefficient.
SmartAssAssassin: 2 - It's like Chuck Norris Facts without the Facts.
kbjone: 5 - And the award for best use of a person-specific ring tone goes to...
Queensryche: 3 - You are an evil, petty person. I like that.
Antigoth: 4 - This... should work, actually. At least people would let you out of the room so they wouldn't have to hear the ringtone.

maskedllama: 2 + 3 + 1 = 6
SmartAssAssassin: 3 + 5 + 2 = 10
kbjone:  1 + 2 + 5 = 8
Queensryche: 5 + 4 + 3 = 12
Antigoth: 4 + 1 + 4 = 9

And the correct answer is Queensryche! Post away, DM of DMs!
