SPIKE would be WRONG as that is the name now. The question reads that you need to name the of the network that changed. I better not lose out because of wrong answers.

Thanks for putting in all of this time Tracer. Seems like a pain to me, but I appreciate the efforts.

For the last time, wrong answers don't exist in sheep. They count as much as any other answer.

WRONG.

Cable network that has changed is name could be either before or after.

Spike TV is a cable network that has changed it's name. It used to be TNN.

TNN is a cable network that has changed it's name. It is now called Spike.

I don't think it reads like that to me. If only because I too, answered Spike.

Yeah, I have some questions I would ask to do these in Video Game Talk, but organizing and scoring the answers seems like a real pain.

Just for the record...

This is an example of the time of post that will make me feel good about putting in all this time AND owning up to mistakes AND spending the time to fix them and make sure the results are correct.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Just to let everyone know, I used the emails I got to aggregate the data, and there was an issue with some of the messages getting the last 3 answers cut off. I'm fixing it now.

Jeremy517 and CRM114 are correct that they had Miami Vice, which means that it is worth 60 points.

Wait, what? I put SyFy for the channel question.

*edit - well shit, just checked the PM and I must have missed or deleted it, everything else should line up.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I actually liked the scores before. Can we go back?

Plus since CRM got so huffy, can you dock him twenty points?

Thanks.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I screwed up the scoring a bunch in games that I ran, and those were games with far fewer people. You're doing a fine job Tracer, especially considering the number of people playing. Ignore all of us grumps

Okay guys, it's all fixed, but I think I'm done for the night. I haven't even had dinner yet.

Look for the exciting conclusion sometime in the next 3-20 hours!

Yeah, agreed. VGTalk games were only like 20-30 people. 60 seems like a real bitch, good job so far!

Exactly. TNN is the correct answer. But as others have pointed out, when sheep collectively respond with an incorrect answer, it counts. So the point is moot.
