Who wants to play a match game?
 

Here's how it works. Each day, I'll post a category, and those who are playing the game will PM me something that fits that category, For examle, if the category was COLORS, you could send me blue, or green, or red.

Scoring works like this: You score one point for each other person whose submission you match. For example, if 6 people pick blue, each person would score 6 points.

Scoring will increase each day, with two points on day two, three points for round three, and five points for the final round.

In addition, I'll choose a special secret response, and if you get that one, you get 5 extra points per match.

If you want to play, just reply that you're in by 6:00 PM tomorrow, and I'll have the first category up. No need for PM's yet, just post here and say, I'm in. We'll need something like 10-12 people ideally.

I'll give it a go.

It is now 6:00 pm EST. Day one begins now.

The first category is, to go with my comic book obsession:

Superheroes.

PM me the name of a superhero before tomorrow at 6:00 pm EST.

Latecomers: if you want to join, just PM me the name of a superhero, and you're in!

I total points at 6:00 pm sharp, so get your entry in by then. And remember that the special, super-secret response is worth 5 points!

Gilda

PM sent. Can I get a bonus point for being prompt?

By the way, plase make your PM title: Match Game.

No bonuses for promptness.

Gilda

Promptness is next to cleanliness, which as we all know, rules.

sorry gilda...did superheroes instead...i'll NEVER do it again...

It's cool, I understand.

In that case, can I have extra points for having a beard?

Can I have extra points because my dogs have facial hair? :)

D'oh! I just found this thread... :(

You can still join in!

We're not strict here. Your input is quite welcome!

Gilda

Can I be "in", too? I'm back in town...

Good to have you playing!

The more the merrier!

Gilda

How many answers may we submit per category?

One answer per category. You'll recieve the base number of points for each matching answer. For example, the base for this round is 3 points. If six people all pick Mellow Yellow, they would each get 18 points. There's also a bonus answer worth 10 points in addition to the match points.

Gilda

Does giving kisses to the Mistress of the Match Game help with points? :icare:

:D hehe

This is allot of fun btw, what a great idea Gilda! :)

sweetpea

I'm seeing some definite favouritism here. My beard points weren't recorded, nor were Elphaba's dog points. Do we have an independent ajudicator, or a tribunal of some sort?

Depends on where you kiss me :). 100 points for kisses.
