alrighty. from what i understand, we now have three people to the team. we will do a "preliminary" challenge, much like last time, to determine your beginnning scores. i don't have one prepared yet, as i just found out that someone signed up, but i'll try to prepare one within the next day. i might not be able to, but i promise i will try. Smile

remember- there's a preliminary challenge, then an actual challenge. there should be little prizes along the way as well for the teams that win. the people with the lowest scores after each game are eliminated. once there is one person left on both teams, then both of them will play one last challenge to find out who wins the grand prize.

the third place finishers will receive 25 points, the second place finishers get 50, the person who came in second in the final round will get 75, and the winner gets 150.

so there's how it works if you didn't already know, plus the prizes this time. oh yeah, and you also get whatever points you had when you were eliminated (or won) divided by half.

example- you are a second place finisher, so you get 50 points. you also finished with 78 points, which will add an extra 39, giving you a grand prize money of 89 points.

make sense?

okay. as i said, i'll make up a challenge...and we may have to use the chatroom, which would require us all to be on here at the same time, but since the chances of that are slim, i'll try to make one that we can do through pm'ing. Smile

OK.

But the chatroom doesn't work for some people becuase it gets filled up with Lycos ads.

So, use PM, or wait til I move hosts.

okay. we'll probably use pm's then...and now since it's the weekend, i'll probably have enough time to definitely compose all of the games and such. i don't want to consistently just keep it being quizzes, but i honestly have no clue what else to do. i have a few ideas on what to do:

a "teamwork game", such as collectively cracking the code to something and that's the game, and then whichever team submits their answer first wins or something.

quizzes, which i find boring, but there might be one or two if i can't come up with anything else.

i am unable to do an online game, because it's necessary for me to have a copy of it as well, plus i don't know how to host games and all this other stuff.

i could do something like a "quest" where you have to go out online and find a picture that i give a clue to you about and you submit back what you think the answer will probably be, probably the address of the picture would be the best thing, and you'd just give it to me and you'd get points for the ones you got right.

we could also do a game like hangman where the person who figures it out the fastest will win the most points.

we could do logic problems, like the cryptoquizzes that i gave out from last time, things like that.

and other things as well. i don't really know what to do, but i believe there will be something like a total of 4 challenges or close to that, and i don't really know what challenges to give you guys...

so now would be a good time for you to make suggestions on a game you're like to play or something you'd like to do for a challenge. just remember, be logical- i told you i can't do an online game, plus, like james said, some of us can't use the chatroom because it just doesn't work, and on top of that, we'd all have to be here at the same time.

so just make a few suggestions on what would be best for you to do.

Very Happy
