Hey, there's another game show topic by Bartman. Cool. I just want to say a couple things about those kinds of topics if you (or anyone) want to create forum games like that...

- Be ready to manage it at all times.
- Try not to isolate potential participants if there are ways around it. Let everybody be able to play somehow.
- Sometimes simpler is better.
- It's good to stick with the rules of the show you're basing the topic on, but it's also alright to put your own spin on things. For example, in Match Game and Now You See It, instead of just two contestants, everybody's a contestant. There also was no audience match in my Match Game topics (how I would do that, I have no idea).
- If you start to get bored with your own topic, that is bad. Very, very bad.

I remember when after I posted a couple games, similar game show topics all started to pop up all over the place. However, the "hosts" of the topics all soon neglected them and they slowly died off like a lot of other "memes".... even my own games, except I was still actually keeping up with them. The poor Match Game topic only had about 3 people even playing near its end, so I had to put it out of its misery. To be honest, I don't know why Greed is still going well.

...And now, back to this game.

I'm trying everything I can to push against this team mentality where every member thinks "Well I don't want to do it, but I think one of my teammates will....", because if everybody thinks this way, nothing is going to happen. If you don't know, just say something. I don't want to make even shorter time limits or anything like that, but if I'm forced to, it has to happen.

Anyways, Marchie, accept or reject?

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-31-2007, 02:36 PM

God damnit. Maybe I should've been captain.

Can I tell Marchie what I think?

I am nobody · 10-31-2007, 02:54 PM

Before deciding on this, note that I have never played any FF game before. I am only going off Tazy's answer.

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-31-2007, 02:56 PM

THEN WHY DID YOU ANSWER

Tazy_10 · 10-31-2007, 04:03 PM

I wouldn't do that....

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-31-2007, 04:51 PM

Do what? Change the answer?

**S1x** · 10-31-2007, 04:56 PM

*eye twitch*

Please edit that out. You can express agreement or disagreement and stuff like that, but you can't basically say what you'd do if you were in the captain's position yourself.

And after Marchie's done, you can say whatever.

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-31-2007, 05:47 PM

But we're going on someone's guess.

I could at least make an intelligent guess because I've actually played FF4.

Tazy_10 · 10-31-2007, 06:00 PM

Fine, sure whatev.

**March of the Covenant** · 10-31-2007, 07:24 PM

Eh, Chunky, if we fail, be the captain in the next game.

I'mma gonna...

Accept.

**S1x** · 10-31-2007, 07:37 PM

Game 1
Marchie (captain), Tazy, i_am_nobody, dux, Chunky Kong

And that answer is correct! Oh man, that was way more drama than it should have been. But somehow, you guys have made it.

Well, now it's up to you, Marchie, to decide if you're able to make your team compose itself and rise further up the Tower of Greed. Each question now has four correct answers, and all of your team needs to pitch in and give answers even if they're not sure. So, now you've got a decision to make. Will you stop now with $100,000, or are you going to try and double it to $200,000? The category for the $200,000 question is: Cartoons.

Game 1
Marchie (captain), Tazy, i_am_nobody, dux, Chunky Kong

The terminator has been activated!

Remember, the Terminator is going to select somebody on this team; that person has the ability to challenge anybody else for their position and their money by doing a one-question showdown. This can be used for a variety of reasons, which I've seen many times before. The player that loses the game will be eliminated. To sweeten the pot, if the one selected does choose somebody else, I'll give them $10,000 whether they win or lose. And now, the terminator has selected... Tazy.

So, is there anybody on this team that you want to challenge to try and take their money and eliminate them? You'll instantly earn $10,000 no matter what if you do challenge somebody.

See? What was I saying?

Um....Well, I guess I'll skip it. We need MUCH more Teamwork

And Besides, Everyone here will probably post before me. Dooming me to be destroyed

So, no my kind sir

**S1x** · 10-31-2007, 07:50 PM

^ Who are you going to select for the terminator (if anybody)?

**March of the Covenant** · 10-31-2007, 07:57 PM

I think that's a he's not gonna use it.

Game 1
Marchie (captain), Tazy, i_am_nobody, dux, Chunky Kong

Well well well, this should be interesting. Everybody will view the $200,000 question and attempt to get all of it fully correct. To answer this, the four teammates will each give one answer. Afterwards, the captain will either accept everything or make one change.

Heroine of the Dragon sent me this question, and I edited it slightly to what you see right here.

(Time: 72 hours)
Which four of the following six characters belong to the company Warner Bros.?

Tweety

Top Cat

Bugs Bunny

Porky Pig

Yosemite Sam

Pink Panther

There is your one Freebie to use this game. Only the captain can choose to use it, and only at the beginning of a question before anybody gives any answers. Whenever you decide to use it, it will take one wrong answer away. It can be used on any question, up to and including $2,000,000. So, if you want to use it here, say so first.
