the name of the game is: THE GAME OF CHOICES

here's how it works: all of the following things have something in common.
each one of you has their own cryptoquiz (the quiz is the same, but you will receive your indiviual ones). in a cryptoquiz, you must crack a simple code and find out what the words are. you may use a pencil and paper for this to figure out you cryptoquiz. it is called the game of choices, however, because every time you guess a letter correctly, you get a decision. you must either take away 2 seconds from your finishing time, add 2 seconds to your time, subtract 2 seconds from another player's time, or add 2 seconds to another player's finishing time. there's another even more twisted factor, though. the amount of points you get depends on the time you receive. your time (in seconds) will be doubled and added to your score. so, ideally, you would want to add time to your score, correct? because that would gain you more points to add to your score. except, the person with the shortest time will win the bonus for their team. each player will receive 30 credits. so it is up to you whether you would like to receive more time to boost your amount of credits, or if you would like to reduce your time and attempt to win the team bonus. once you've given me your answer, i'll tell you the amount of choices you get (because each cryptoquiz is different), and then you tell me what choices you'd like to make, and i'll post everyone's final time here! i'll add points to the leaderboard, and we'll see who gets bumped.

But we can't do it properly, because ez2dance has gone on holiday for 5 weeks. I could un-ban 01kalada's IP address and let him use his new profile to play (pokey). Should I?

You could pm some of the people, and see if they want to do it...

[Das Mole]

i don't know who to pm, though, because the only really active users are you, me, the dizzy-monkey, ez2dance, and that's really just about it.

ok. so does that mean that we're gonna start over again, or are we going to let them just start where we are now? i think we should probably start over again if we're gonna get more people to play.

If we are lucky 1 of them will join in, so let that person take ex2dance's place!

I'm not sure what this game is about, because I didn't read the last page and a half, but count me in, I guess. Also, notice the name of the game... Shouldn't it be obvious what the teams should be?

yeah, it is obvious, but i'm not sure whether we really have enough people for the female side, so we just decided to do teams instead. it doesn't really make too much of a difference, as long as we're playing the game.

Team a: Chas, The Dizzy-Moneky
Team b: James, GPHemley (replacing ez2dance)

Then ez2dnace and GPHemsley can both have the same prizes. E.g. if ez2dance got 30 points, and GPHemsley got 40, tehn they both get 70.
