Topic: The knock out game Posted: 06 May 2006 at 3:31pm |
Hello, this is really meant to be cricket_mstr's idea, so I stole it of him. This is a game, where I need 8 people. The 8 people will then be paired, and then will be asked a question. The questions will be diffrent. The players have to PM me the answer. Whoever gets it right will progress to the next round. However, if they both get it right, Ill ask another question, and if they get it right again, Ill ask another question and another until one person gets it wrong. The winner of this game will then host, and he will be the one asking the questions. Right so I need 8 players or 16. If you still don't understand the game, feel free to ask me.

I'm in,don't you think 8 players of 16 is too much,maybe 4 players of 8 because it would take weeks to get that many

Does this keep going on week after week?
So each pair has 4 days to answer 1 question? That'll mean it'll take about 3 weeks to find a winner and the new host!
And what happens if more people want to join?
I'm sure there are many others too.

Yep, it goes on week after week. Do you have a problem with waiting for 3 weeks to find out the new host? Do you think 4 days is to long? I can change it to 3 days if you want. Well, if other people want to join they better hurry or all the spots will be taken!

Nope, you're the host, you make the rules and I'll go along with them.
However I think it should be 2 days not 4 otherwise it will take an awful long time and people may get bored and forget about it.

Well so far, Minimurali, abubakar52, dhonibest, Fender 63 and ANIL KUMBLE are particapating. Im not sure about Clobber. We need 8 people so we need 3 more people until I can start the game. If Clobber is playing then we only need 2 people. So whenever we have 8 people we can start!
