    AO Jeopardy Tournament in Chat room

    Well first off i would like to start a Game we can play in the chat room called AO Jeopardy!!

    I would like to start by getting some feed back before any games would get started.
    That is where the AO army comes in
    let me know if its a good idea or not

    The games would be scheduled maybe twice a week if not more if more *trivia questions is recieved.

    And at the end of the month we would have a schedule for one game of "Tournament of Champions"

    So lets begin the breakdown of the game rules and FAQs

    1. We will open a separate chat room for the 3 players/host(me) and maybe some judges.
    (this is just a idea to keep the game from recieving to many players or cheating by getting help from others or it can be in the main room but i doubt that will happen and audience would be considered on the jeopardy room but we will decide that)
    3 or 4 games will be played each day so total of 9-12 players can play(but hopefully 1 game a player)
    *The game might be the same game if little Q&A's are recieved so "THE HONOR SYSTEM IS A MUST"
    Plays who played the games should not talk among those who may or may not played..just to keep in secure and fair


    2. Prior to the game: each player will recieve a score card via email that will include the days categories and numbered squares(100-500 squares just like the game)
    no answeres will be written on the score card
    it will be mainly for keeping track on where the game is

    3. Answering question will require each player to type(BEEP)
    to buzz in. The first player that (I) will see on my screen with the word BEEP will be the only one to answer.
    There is a limited time for your answers so type fast
    10 seconds should be good...this will have enought time for players to type and not enought time to use their search engines.

    4. Right answers will get the posted number of points in the chosen category( WE MUST PLAY THE HONOR SYSTEM HERE PEOPLE)

    5. Daily Doubles will be mixed into the game board and chosen by me before the game...wagers will be placed before the question is asked

    6. Final Jeopardy is a little different for the game
    Players will place their answers and wager using the PM
    And I will narrate the questions and answers
    Again a time limit will be forced.....but due to the fact that Final Jeopardy will take a little longer...a little more time will be added...will result in a higher risk in cheating (using their search engine)
    I cannot emphasize that players will play HONOR SYSTEM

    so far that are some of the ideas i came up with for the room

    Now here will be the backbone of the whole game:
    For this game to work, i would need the AO army's help on comming up with Categories and Questions/Answers. (i will think some too)

    BEFORE ANY OF YOU START POSTING CATEGORIES AND Q&A's
    IT WILL BE BETTER IF YOUR CATEGORIES AND Q&A's SENT TO ME VIA PM OR EMAIL
    Any categories that are selected for the game will be handles as such as the user that submitted the data WILL not be used for THAT player if he/she is playing a game

    SO THE MORE Q&A's (Paintball related or not)
    I WILL RECIEVE THE BETTER AND MORE GAME WE CAN PLAY!!

    At the end of the month we will match up the chapions and get them head to head

    As for those greedy ones:
    I am looking for prizes as well-maybe
    if you know anyone or be willing to donate any prizes it would be great!!



    well so far what do you think???
    dont send your Q&A's yet!!!
    Tell me what your thoughts are first!!
    this thread will be updated daily

    Sounds like fun.

    *positive feedback*

    *didn't read whole thread*

    The best thing would be to start a seperate chat, and make it moderated, and you be the op, and the players be voiced
    so then the spectators can watch. but not chat in that room.

    After the first game is over, either de-voice everyone, or keep the winner, and voice 2(or 3) other random ppl.

    Sounds like a great idea. The only problem I see is people using their search engine to cheat.

    I would be game to play and created some questions and categories when I get back.

    If you're quick enough, you might be able to buzz in and then search, if you're confident enough you could find it.

    Anyway I was thinking more along the lines of final jeopardy for that issue...

    It sounds great. I'd definately do it, so if you do sign me up to play.

    On the whole search and cheat issue, possibly just have time limit and that could eliminate them from cheating.

    Yeah that would probably be the only way.

    If I have a window already opened, and say the question is the smallest country in the world. I can type that into google, and if someone misses it to begin with, and get an answer in no time. Even though the answer google gives is wrong, but that is ok hehe.

    doesnt the person with the answer go say it as fast as they can? so if someone does use the search engine it would actually be slower. thats just how i understood it

    yes it would be
    players now have a ten second time limit to type their answer
    so if you can search for the answer by search engine and type it under 10secs.....can you teach me how?
    otherwise your outa luck...

    and common its all in fun...
