Divination Club: Term XXIV, Activity 1: Minority Reports - SOCIAL POST!



Activity Name: Minority Reports
Deadline: Friday, 28th September @ 11:59PM UTC
Points: 1st/2nd/3rd/Participation Only: 50/40/30/10 points.
Details: This game will combine the two divinationy skills of predicting trends and influencing social conventions. Forsee the outcome of 10 threads on what you believe will be the LEAST favoured outcome each time.
10 pts for taking part in all ten threads, with placement for the folk with the greatest accuracy.

SOCIAL POST
(sorta)


This post is to tie in with the activity post posted to [livejournal.com profile] hh_clubs HERE

In order to place on that activity, you must post here twice.
Collaborate, coerce, chatter, scheme or confess. I don't mind how you play it.

I'm going to leave you with 10 labelled threads, corresponding to the 10 questions. You don't have to use them all, but it'll be an opportunity for you to organise your thoughts along the way.

Remember, you are free to change your mind at any point, and you don't have to answer honestly. You just need to pick the least popular choice.

Also remember that if there is no lone option that is least popular (ie a tie for this), that question is null and void. You'll get house points, but it won't get you any nearer to placing.

So yeah. That's that. If I think of anything to say, I will.



The future will look bleak if you forget to sign the ROSTER!

Considering that there are generally more right-handed people than left, I'm guessing that's the way things will go. That said - I'm ambidextrous.

I did stare at it, like, OMG what do I do?

And then I voted right handed, because I use that hand more. I wanted the point. :P

In a way, though, the more obvious answers are the more difficult ones. You don't know if people are going to think "Well, most people are right handed, so people will assume everyone will vote left-handed" or if they'll go one further and think "Well, everyone is going to assume people will vote left-handed and try for a point in right-handed, so left-handed will end up being the minority vote."

With the less obvious ones I'm kind of just hoping for the best.

I was going on the assumption that everyone was answering the questions honestly as they apply to themselves. :P

That's what I was doing...if I try to think about how other people are going to vote then I just keep going around in circles : ( I just picked what hand I write with since I write with one and throw with the other.

My thoughts exactly. These questions are blowing my mind. Did anyone see the episode of Sherlock with the mysterious suicides occurring to random people?? I don't want to spoil but the end of the episodes was like....I couldn't even follow it. OR a better example: Princess Bride!

Where is the option for Red-Handed I want that to be a choice.

Right-handed, though I can use my left hand for a lot of things. But only because I taught myself to. So I'm not sure if that counts as ambidextrous or not.

I'm guessing right handed since the whole world is built around us. RIGHT HANDED PRIVILEGE

I'm a lefty! But I think that the righties will win. Because most of the population is right handed.
