So after @
BuileBeag mentioned spoon collections last night I decided to a deep dive into the dusty old archives of Forum Games.
Once a place of fun and frolics it has now become a desolate wasteland where dreams go to die...
But a lot of fun was had there once upon a time and I painstakingly went through each and every Sheep, Peehs, Heeps, Kangaroo and Elephant game that was ever played there and totted some statistics down on my trusty Excel spreadsheet.
Over the next week or so (basically when I get the time) I'll reveal the following...
The Hall of Fame - the winners list in full from start to finish.
The Almost Famous - a full list of podium finishes for every single Boards game.
The Hall of Pain - our wooden spoon collectors from each game.
I'll then combine the Boards list with the data from FOG thus far to give you an overall look
Oooh I'm really excited to see this!
Looking forward to that, love a deep-dive into statistics
I only have one in the Fab 4 category so I will add them into the (Almost) Famous Five!
And it works on multiple levels as there are... FIVE names
All (well bar Siobh who got 4) have amassed five seperate podium finishes. Imagine if they could turn those into wins... Shane would be quaking in his boots!!

Nearly done now...
Four people however managed 8 seperate podiums. For me it's definitely typical, always the bridesmaid and whatnot
Myself aside they are synonymous with winning these games so it's no surprise they feature on a podium regularly....
@
Zaph 8
@
Homer J. Fong 8
@
Necro 8
@
ShaneU 8
BUT... there is one person who stands above them all....
I don't recognise all these names, it's a pity they didn't all join here.
And that person is....
@
E.N.
With not 9.... nor 10...
But
ELEVEN
Eleven podium placings...
I haven't done the data on FOG yet but I suspect that number will increase a little too in our combined hall of fame!!

Yep of course it is.
@

SEVEN wooden spoons on Boards for Mam!
I'll do the winners list when I get some time either tomorrow or over the weekend.
Stop right now thank you very much ....
Ok , as an All Star ⭐ I rejoice in my Wooden Spoon Celebrity 🎉🎉
I wonder what I spooned in, I don't remember that at all
I was a true dweller of mid table mediocrity during the months I spent in Forum Games over there 🤣
Fascinating stuff Necro, thanks for doing this! 😁
Wow, my the excel work @
Necro!

Not quite sure how I feel about that!
Good that I was scoring well, but...
Well done @
Mam of 4, knew you could do (had done) it!

Actually it was Rikands Emu game with only a very few questions. If you sheeped in them all you ended up with zero points. There were about 6 of us (myself, yourself and Shane included) that finished level so I gave us all a spoon!

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick - 5
Interesting, serves me right for trying to be funny with answers instead of attempting to win more (except that Science one, that was just pure embarrassment... having flashbacks to SALT)
What kind of idiot uses a Wooden Spoon to eat soup though? @
Necro wondering why he's always ending up with splinters in his mouth

Hmmm I can recall one spoon fairly easily (the Alphabet Superhero Heeps, where I played the Sheepiest game of Heeps that was ever played!) but can't remember the other one. Must have a look to remind myself......or wait impatiently for @
Necro to do the work for me. >_>

Leg End Reject I'd say you're in paradise with all the tagging going on here.. must make you want to whip out that rampant rabbit

Update the list. TWO SPOONS! The shame!
