*** Match Game Wars Gameplay Thread ***

I agree. This game was too easy for me to pick off the entire executive team.

I'm a terrible red. PFIDC and EPP both knew they were going to get it early, and told me as much right from the start. I should have just jumped on the EPP vote early.

I think this would be a great game outside of the typical Wars format.

- Six LGP posters as panelists.
- Two LGP posters as contestants.
- Two rounds of questions.
- (Tie-breakers if necessary.)
- The winner goes to the Super-Match. Can get help from three panelists. Q: Where do responses (audience surveys) come from?
- Assuming a match, goes to the big money round and chooses one panelist. If match, then win.

Then what? Bragging rights? I don't have $5000 to award to the winner.

I guess I think it might get old quick ...

500 hasn't gotten old quick

But honestly I didn't think that far. I would just say rotate everyone randomly after the super match thing and see who can rack up the most matches/points?

I think if you had enough fresh voices as panelists/contestants, you could sustain it for a good time.

I'd like to see if something new and non-warz based like this would attract any new people over to NHR Games to play.

I'd like to try something.

It's a Super-Match using the winners of the game.

Crankshaft and Rylan each had a point at the end of the game, so one of them will play: whoever says OK first.

I need to get an audience response from a pool of players, so I'll post a Super-Match here and in JTOR and see if people will PM me an answer. Then the contestant will pick three people for help and then give an answer, trying to match the most popular answer.

The Super-Match is

<blank> night.

Please PM redwill with a word or phrase to fill in the <blank>.

Thanks.

Rylan has agreed to play the Super-Match.

I'm collecting responses -- maybe 'til tomorrow morning.

[Crankshaft]

Aw.

[Rylan]

If you want it Crank its yours. I just wanted the game to be given a go.

[Crankshaft]

Nah - all you bud.

[redwill]

meh.

Doesn't look like this is going to work. After posting here and in JTOR, in more than a day I have only received seven responses.

Oh well.

[redwill]

If anyone's interested, the responses to

<blank> night

were:

Good
Good
Black
Wild
Starry
Tomato pie
Silent

Plus a response from Rylan which didn't count since he was the contestant.

Personally, my response would have been "Starry." van Gogh FTW.

[relantel]

I didn't see it until now, or I would have responded.
