SYMian Jeopardy

Okay, I got enough responses, so I guess I can go ahead and do this. So, here are the rules.

1. First come first serve to open the game. After the first question has been answered, the person who got it right will get to choose the next question, with certain restrictions. Since this is a message board, and as such all the contestants will not be on at the same time, no one can ecer pick a question more than twice in a row. In the event someone gets 2 questions right in a row, they may not pick the next one. This is the only way I can think of to keep one person from running the board if they are the only one online. Instead, after the second correct answer, the next question will be chosen by first come first serve basis.

2. After a question has been asked, the first person to respond with the correct answer will be awarded the points. To speed up game play, if you think someone has answered a question wrong, you do not need to wait until they are told so. just go ahead and post your asnwer as well. Once I get here, points will be awarded to the first correct answer.

3.You can answer a question only one time.Once you have answered incorrectly, you must wait until 3 more incorrect answers have been submitted before answering again.

4. There are no limits to the number of contestants who can play. As each person gains points, there name will be added in the space under the board along with their point totals.

5. At the end of the game, the top 3 players will be given the opportunity to wager on the final question. I will give the catagory, and will reveal the question after I have all three players notify me via PM of their wagers. After the question is revealed, players will PM me their answers and I will post them, along with the amount wagered.

6. Sorry Dottie......Kam has a point....no googling (Oggling at other players, however, is encouraged)

Ok, those are the rules. the board I am working on, and will post it when I get it done, tommorrow at the latest. Good luck to you all!

If I join, can I use google to avoid embaras myself more than neccessary?

Yshania · #3 (**permalink**) 07-18-2002, 01:32 PM

I am game if Dottie is googling (?)

Bloodstalker · #4 (**permalink**) 07-18-2002, 01:33 PM

Then what would be the point?

Actually, I figure the game would be slow paced, and therefore people would have ample time to look junk up. Just don't let your opponents know.

Well, Sleep, look at it this way, while he is looking something up, others can jump in and answer the question.

Yshania · #8 (**permalink**) 07-18-2002, 01:40 PM

Ah!! so googling is referencing? *sigh*

Well I'm definitely in. I am the repository for all the useless trivia knowledge that has ever existed in this universe or any other. No, seriously. Did you know that horses are the only animals other than humans who have hymens?

And no googling, that really sucks...how would anyone ever get a question wrong? And what would be the point? Using Search Engines 101 isn't my idea of a good time (and yes, this is

)

Ok, the board is posted in the first post, and the score will be added beneath the board as they come in. This is my first attempt at this, so you may find some questions easy, or some hard. I'll get a feel for it as we go along.

So, game now open. And good luck to everyone.
