Had to make a biiiiig mug of coffe to watch the sunrise :D I am feeling very pleased with this thread tonight / today :) .. so might I ask .. do you also fancy the Total Annihilation: Commander Pack ?

Must tip my hat to the antics in here.

Will be on for a bit.

I tried, didn't get any any points though. This was fun though, indeed!

My only suggestion would be to ask more specific questions. Questions that might take a few pages to answer. That way lots o' people get a chance. :)

Wow, I sure would!!! I would hate for everyone to feel like they have to get me something though, I'm doing this for fun myself... :)

the last few q's did turn into spam and hope for the best but it was very fun.

Im thinking first to 3 but more elaborative q's if i ever do one

That was originally my intention, but there was one question which took up about 20 pages so I got a little tired. LOL.

In the future, I anticipate going back to the "regular" version of the contest, with 3 long questions and 1 winner for each.

Oh, I might also try someone's suggestion (forgot who) of doing it via PM. Like everyone gets 1 chance to guess via PM and maybe you earn a point that way. This way multiple people can win a point on each question and there's no worry about internet speeds or not clicking fast enough.

I just realised... I think I led in points throughout the whole thing, like got first point, then first to 2, first to 3, and so on o.o all this whilst highly medicated and generally tired from this thing starting at past 2am xD *feels even more proud he manged to do as well as he did* xD

But alas, sleep time, thanks again Stoic!! I'll enjoy the games :D hope you enjoy yours too :) Thanks also to everyone who played along!! NIGHT!!

That would be good - would prevent getting ninja'd again!

This was my thinking as well. Contestants have n minutes to PM their questions and guesses. Everyone can ask one question and make one guess each round. If no-one guesses correctly that round, the host would post answers to everyones questions. So each round begins with a slew of new hints. Whoever is first to PM the correct guess wins.

That was what I was thinking. But I very much like your idea for a point system vs one answer = one winner. And perhaps a five point system wouldn't be so bad if multiple players are earning points each stage. I suppose it depends on the number of players and how fast people are earning points. Perhaps bonus points can be added as needed; to manage game pace?

To quote WhiteElk .. "We're Ironmen" :)

Thumbs up!!

Kindness begets kindness. I'm money poor atm, but I can't help but want to host a contest when I buy my first GOG. Not only do I want to support GOG's DRM free methods; and promote quality games in the future by buying quality games of the past. But I also want to participate in a pay it forward approach to life. You guys are great here! Thanks for the life lift!!

How about this:

1. Question gets posed.
2. Each player has X minutes to PM an answer (as well as a question). Those who get it right the first try get 3 points.
3. I post the answers to player yes/no questions.
4. Each remaining player (who didn't get it right the first time) has X minutes to PM a second answer. Those who get it right on the 2nd attempt get 1 point.
5. The answer gets revealed and we move on to the next attempt. (2 tries seems good, few will get it right the first time, so they get triple points. After seeing a whole bunch of yes/no's, there should be at least a few correct answers.)

The other thing I was thinking is that maybe we could have registration, so that there are 10 players max in a round. I don't know if there were more than that, it was hard to tell, but it seems to me there should be a limit if we're going to go by PMs. That would make it more orderly.

What do you think?

Sounds good ... but then the questions have to be less vague .. since you`ll need more that 4-5 guesses at least for something like ... I am thinking of a city

True. Though supposing you knew 10 facts about it (yes/no's), might that help? I think we've done 3 cities so far (Utica, Rotterdam, New York), so I might lay off on the cities. But supposing I do, say, rock bands and pick someone famous like the Beatles. Chances are 1/10 might guess that from the start, and the other 9/10 should have a good shot based on seeing the 10 questions/answers and eliminating their first guess.

Yes. sounds good ;)
