VGF Greed awakens

**S1x** · 06-02-2008, 10:45 PM

8 questions.

3 topics with nearly 1300 posts.

There has never been one person who has gone all the way and cleared the final question. Two people have attempted it and fallen short. I wonder... can somebody do it? Let's find out again in this interesting and risky forum game of mine. Welcome to Greed.

Rules

Post if you want to join. You will automatically be placed in the next open team (or the only team, if there are no current games running). When there are 5 players in a team, the game will begin for them. You can still join and start a new team, hoping that enough will join to create another full one. There will be as many games running simultaneously as there are full teams to play it.

The Captain of the team will make decisions for the team most of the game. If you want to, when you join you can say that you wish to be the captain. Not only do you gain that extra power, but if you wish, you have the option to select which people you want to bring into the remaining open spots. You can try to form an all-star team. If nobody chooses to be the captain, when the game starts, the first person who joined automatically becomes captain. Also, the Captain can select if they want to play a "theme game" from a short list of themes I have ready (or to just play a normal game). All 8 questions will match that theme in some way.

When you leave a team, no matter how it happens, you can rejoin shortly after to try to win more. However, you cannot "reserve" a spot in another team if you are currently in one, still playing.

Any money you leave with could be very important. Should there be no champion around 500 posts, I will select a few random people from the people who have won something and they will participate in a small elimination tournament for the shot at one instant $2,000,000 question. The more you win, the higher the chances will be that you get selected.

I'm also adding extra rewards to whoever can beat the final question. First off, I will give that person (or people) nearly all my vB points. Also, if you have a Wii and live in the US, I can give you Wii Shop gifts. If not, I could still try to make a deal privately.

I'll explain more rules when we get 5 people for our first game. Who wants to attempt this?

Game 1

**S1x** · 06-03-2008, 02:16 PM

This is awesome. I think 2 out of these first 5 are new to this. Welcome to this game. Also, keep joining in, because if I can get another 5 people, I'll gladly do 2 games at the same time.

Game 1
Marchie (captain), UN, ian, Joker, Andre

Time to see how much you guys can earn. What you have to do is climb this Tower of Greed, from the bottom up.

$2,000,000
$1,000,000
.$500,000
.$200,000
.$100,000
..$75,000
..$50,000
..$25,000

We'll start with the $25,000 question. To answer this, one teammate must select what they think is the right answer. The Captain must then either accept that answer or change it to a different answer. In either case, I will then tell you if you're correct, and if so, the team moves on. Here we go...

What would you most likely use to check who your relatives and ancestors are?

Family den

Family tree

Family feud

Family hash table

Game 2
5 open spots (no captain yet); join now

(no scores yet)

DJ Ryan · 06-03-2008, 02:19 PM

I can just answer right?

Family tree

**S1x** · 06-03-2008, 02:20 PM

Yup, then the captain needs to decide what to do. And also, a teammate other than Andre has to provide the answer for the next question.

**March of the Covenant** · 06-03-2008, 02:22 PM

I accept.

Colin Greenwood · 06-03-2008, 02:25 PM

Captain of team two.

**S1x** · 06-03-2008, 02:35 PM

I've added another theme game for people who want to try it - Zelda Greed. You want to choose any certain theme Panfan?

Game 1
Marchie (captain), UN, ian, Joker, Andre

You guys are correct. You're 7 away from the top question. Now, Andre cannot answer again until the $75,000 question, so one of the other teammates must throw out their guess. The captain will still accept or reject the answer.

Also, from $25k to $100k you have a time limit of 2 days each question.

In the card game of Hearts, which of these are not worth any points?

Ad

Qs

9h

Jh

Game 2
Panfan (captain)
4 open spots; join now

Theme games available:
RPG Greed
TV Greed
Zelda Greed

(no scores yet)

Margarie Margarita · 06-03-2008, 03:31 PM

Looks like fun. Totally in.

The Joker · 06-03-2008, 03:36 PM

Joker of Hearts

**S1x** · 06-03-2008, 03:38 PM

^ An option if you don't know is to throw something out there and say you're not confident about it, so that the captain may want to change the answer.

Or were you actually answering? "J" stands for Jack.

User Name · 06-03-2008, 04:09 PM

My answer is the Ace of Diamonds.

**March of the Covenant** · 06-03-2008, 04:21 PM

I accept.

**S1x** · 06-03-2008, 04:28 PM

Oh yeah. Welcome, SP, and thanks for checking this game out. I guess we'll find out soon how well ya do.

Game 1
Marchie (captain), UN, ian, Joker, Andre

Correct again. I'll give you guys the next question immediately, and somebody besides UN must give the initial answer.

What would you do with a "dinghy"?

Play musical notes

Travel on the water

Plant it

Use it to eat food

Fix your car

Game 2
Panfan (captain), StarryPeach
3 open spots; join now

Theme games available:
