Who wants to play a match game? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Gilda · 12-22-2005, 06:51 PM

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.

Gilda · 12-23-2005, 03:04 PM

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

flamingdog · 12-23-2005, 03:18 PM

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

Gilda · 12-23-2005, 03:20 PM

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

No bonuses for promptness.

Gilda

flamingdog · 12-23-2005, 03:33 PM

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

uncle phil · 12-23-2005, 03:41 PM

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

Fresnelly: Superman--4 points
Charlatan: Superman--4 points
eribrav: Superman--4 points
Zeraph: Superman--4 points
Flaming Dog: Iron Man--1 point
Uncle Phil: Mighty Mouse--1 point
Flyman: Captain Marvel--1 point

The super secret answer was Captain America. No bonus points this round.

Because it's Chistmas Eve, I'm giving everyone double time for the next round. PM me with your best response to this category:

Christmas/Winter Holiday Songs

Two points for every response that you match. There's still time for newcomvers, just PM me with your response, with the title MATCH GAME.

What a fun idea!

sweetpea

Gilda · 12-24-2005, 06:32 PM

Of course you do: Sweetpea--25 points for being cute.

Gilda

flamingdog · 12-24-2005, 06:37 PM

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

Elphaba · 12-24-2005, 06:42 PM

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

flamingdog · 12-25-2005, 06:29 AM

Gutted! I realised as I logged off last night that Iron Man was oh so very close to Captain America, via the Avengers. Could have had those extra points...

Gilda · 12-26-2005, 02:52 PM

Barenakedladies: Jingle Bells-4 points
Zeraph: Jingle Bells-4 points
Flaming Dog: Winter Wonderland-4 points
Flyman: Winter Wonderland-4 points

Sweetpea: Silver Bells-2 point
Fresnelly: Let it Snow-2 point
Eribrav: White Christmas-2 point
Charlatan: We Wish You a Merry Christmas-2 point
Uncle Phil: Santa Claus is coming to town-2 point

The super special secret answer was Sleigh Ride. No bonus points this round.

Current totals are as follows:

Zeraph: 8 points

Round three: Soft Drinks. Voting closes at 6:00 tomorrow EST or whenever I get around to tallying up the results.

I expect high scores this round!

Don't forget to subscribe or post an "I'm in" message so you can get updates. Also, if you see a scoring error, please point it out so that I can correct it.

Until tomorrow,

Fremen · 12-26-2005, 10:40 PM

How many answers may we submit per category?

Gilda · 12-26-2005, 10:48 PM

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

Sweetpea · 12-26-2005, 11:00 PM

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

hehe

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

sweetpea

flamingdog · 12-27-2005, 07:42 AM

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?

Gilda · 12-27-2005, 03:01 PM

This round, Coke was by far the most popular answer, with nine respondants. Will this be the decisive round? Only time will tell!

fresnelly: Coke--27 points
elphaba: Coke--27 points
fredweena: Coke--27 points
eribrav: Coke--27 points

uncle phil: Dr. Pepper--3 points (plus 10 bonus points)
flyman: Grape Nehi--3 points

Alpha Phi: Mellow Yellow--3 points

Current Standings:

Zeraph: 35 points

Zaraph still leads it at 35 points, with a slew of players tied at 33.

This is the final round. All matching responses will be worth 5 points, and the super special secret response carries a bonus of 25 points.

The category for round 4 will be: Women's Clothing. The idea here is type, not brand.
