Pointless
Today we are playing Pointless! If you’ve not watched the show, the aim is to find the lowest scoring answer, and ideally a pointless answer. So the more obscure you answer is, the better chance you have of doing well.
Unlike the real Pointless, there is no order as to which you must take your turns. It is up to you to whether you answer as quickly as possible or give each question some thought. Once a team member has submitted an answer, this can not be changed. Your answers MUST be submitted in your teams PM and be in BOLD.
I will require two initial answers from you. These do not have to be in the same post, although the first bolded answer will be treated as your first choice. There is no set time limit for your answers, although I will set one if it is taking too long. Typically will allow a maximum of ten minutes.
Google is forbidden. The players of Pointless do not have this luxury, so neither should you.
If somebody posts both your answers before you, then you are able to choose another answer as long as you answer before the time limit you will be given. Failure to answer within the time limit will result in scoring the maximum 100 points.
At the end of each round, the highest scoring team will be eliminated. The team who make the Jackpot Round will receive a minimum of three points, and only winning the Jackpot Round will result in winning the full five points. The runner-up will win ONE point.
The Round 1 Question is coming shortly. I.E. I'll give you some time to read that and tell me how much sense it does or doesn't make.

So
We're aloud to confer in PM?
No real time limit unless it's taking forever.
How are the answers being ranked via the points?

Are you going to be able to watch the PMs closely enough to know who posted an answer first?

I don't get this bit.
Who is 'somebody'? Surely we just discuss the question in our PM's, decide on the best two answers and bold those and that's it, right?

I also wondered this. I think we should just go in order of GODLINESS.

As in another team. Like in actual pointless, you can't have the same answer.

If he was doing it properly he'd have to ask people all over the UK, of all ages/genders, to get a fair cross-section of responses

Yes, talk in your PMs. If it's been ten minutes, I will set you a time limit.
It tells me the time it was submitted. I already know this is going to be a nightmare to manage, from what The Price is Right was like!
1. 5 rounds. As with the real show, there is one question right up until the head to head where it is a best of three scenario.
2. I will tell you.
Correct.

Round 1
Mainland African Countries with a Coastline
Any country wholly or partly on the African mainland that has a coastline – that is, any part of its border on any sea or ocean. A country is a sovereign state that is recognised by the UN, therefore Western Sahara is not an acceptable answer.

Yes! This is a serious gameshow, I demand a fully representative, sociologically unbiased quizIf he was doing it properly he'd have to ask people all over the UK, of all ages/genders, to get a fair cross-section of responses
