Therefore I have created an archive version of this game, which you can view here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eyk89vosfkexxhg/AADQUsDR1uZerLUQrW22Xzjia?dl=0

I'm actually surprised about most of these answers myself and I'm surprised someone remembered Duncan.

I really enjoyed that, good game everyone.

Is Gavin a pointless answer? Let's see...

pointlesswrong.jpg

Unfortunately, Gavin the dungeoneer from Series 3 shares his name with Gavin the advisor from Series 6 - he was one of Chris's. So, what about Duncan? Let's see...

pointless1.jpg

Series 5's Duncan is indeed uniquely named, but someone remembered him - curses! So, we come to Annie's final answer - Jeremy. Is that a pointless answer?

pointlesswrong.jpg

Sadly, it isn't. Jeremy the dungeoneer from Series 4 shares his name with Jeremy the advisor from Series 3 - he was one of Scott's.

So, Annie, you haven't won the Knightmare Pointless jackpot this time, but you're still our champion and you should hold your head extremely high! Let's take a look at all the correct answers for that question, including the seven pointlesses that would have won you the jackpot:

AKASH - 4

BARRY - 4

DICKON - 4

DUNSTAN - 4

GILES - 4

JULIAN - 4

SUMAYYA - 3

JANUARY - 2

MAEVE - 2

NAILA - 2

CLIFF - 1

DUNCAN - 1

ROSS - 1

SOPHIA - 1

ALISTAIR - 0

DOUGLAS - 0

JENNA - 0

LEO - 0

MICHAEL - 0

SCOTT - 0

STUART - 0

Fans of Knightmare Pointless, join me again soon for the fourth game. Thanks once again to Annie, Amy, Nick and Ben for playing this time.

All Knightmare Pointless graphics are created by my very good chum Ross Thompson.

I'll steer clear of the more exotic/unusual names as I expect people would think of those first. So, having listed as many as I can think of (though I'm probably missing a few from Series 2 and 3), I shall pick out.... Gavin, Duncan, Jeremy?

Annie, you are the new Knightmare Pointless champion, and you now have three chances to win the Knightmare Pointless jackpot. As I said before, I don't have any more Knightmare badges, so the prize is an original copy of the first ever issue of The Eye Shield fanzine (which has never really been seen online in its full, original glory!) signed by longtime TES contributor and editor Jake Collins. All you have to do is find a pointless answer to our final question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...

UNIQUELY NAMED DUNGEONEERS

So that's any dungeoneer who has a first name not shared with any other dungeoneer or advisor.

Now, here are my attempts to clarify the question and forestall quibbles:

1. This is phonetic - if names sound the same, they are the same, so Susie the dungeoneer would NOT be a correct answer, even though she spells her name differently from Suzie the advisor. (Most contestant name spellings are somewhat speculative anyway!)

2. Names that are obvious contractions (or lengthenings) of shared names are also not allowed, such as Phil/Phillip - for the purposes of this, they are both the same name.

3. Also, I am not accepting dungeoneer names that sound slightly different because of the regional accents of their advisors.

I hope all that's clear enough!

So Annie, please post three dungeoneer names that you believe to be totally unique among Knightmare contestants. If one of them is pointless, you will win the jackpot!

Well that was unexpected.

Amy says DRINK - let's see what that scores her...

Again, there's hardly anything in it, but Annie wins the question and Knightmare Pointless III with it! Hearty congratulations, Annie - you are the new Knightmare Pointless champion. Amy, you are the runner-up for the second time, but I promise you will get another chance to become the champion if you want one!

Now, here are all the Hordriss and Motley spells:

FIRE - 5

BUT - 4

SPLASH - 4

TRANSFORMATION - 4

JOKE - 3

BIG - 2

FREEZE - 2

OPPOSITE - 2

SLOW - 2

DASH - 1

DRINK - 1

GHOST - 1

SPEED - 1

BAG - 0

HERO - 0

I will post the jackpot final before the end of the day.

pointlessanswer.jpg

Annie says Olgarth - let's see what that scores her...

pointless1.jpg

Crikey! Two great answers there, but Amy pips it and levels the score at 1-1. Let's see all the correct answers for that one:

LILLITH - 7

FOLLY - 6

HORDRISS - 6

LORD FEAR - 6

MAJIDA - 6

MILDREAD - 6

PICKLE - 6

MERLIN - 5

MOGDRED - 4

MOTLEY - 4

VELDA - 3

GRANITAS - 1

MORGHANNA - 1

OLGARTH - 1

GIANT - 0

IGNEOUS - 0

MALICE - 0

SMIRKENORFF - 0

And so we move on to the third and final (unless it's a tie) question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...

SPELLS GIVEN TO DUNGEONEERS BY HORDRISS OR MOTLEY

So that's any spell awarded to a dungeoneer by Hordriss or Motley. The spells do not have to have been cast before the quest ended, i.e. they could be unused. Spells given to other characters (rather than dungeoneers) DO NOT count. Annie, it's you to go first. Again, Amy can post straight afterwards.

Amy says Ross (Series 3) - let's see what that scores her...

pointless5.jpg

So, Annie wins the first question and takes a 1-0 lead. Let's see all the correct answers for that one:

RICHARD (1) - 5

ROSS (3) - 5

CHRIS (2) - 4

DANIEL (8) - 4

LEO (3) - 4

MARTIN (3) - 4

SOPHIA (6) - 4

ALEX (7) - 3

ALISTAIR (4) - 3

HELEN (4) - 3

NATHAN (8) - 3

SIMON (7) - 3

ALAN (6) - 2

SARAH (5) - 2

So the best you could have done, Amy, would have been to choose Sarah and tie the question - sometimes this game can be very tough! Now, let's move on to the second question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...

CHARACTERS WHO INTERACTED WITH TREGUARD

To clarify, we're looking for any character who had at least one on-screen conversation with Treguard, or addressed him directly without him answering, or reacted vocally to something he said. Amy, you get to go first this time, and you need to win this question to draw level. Annie, please post your answer as soon as you see that Amy has posted hers.

Mace also escorted Series 4's Nicky through a portal in the Forest of Dunn

Notable for the pleasing double whoosh as the two of them enter the portal.
