In fact, you HAVE TO sign up for each round. This is so if you can't make it to one, you're not signed up for that round. It seems that people are mistaking about this, and I apologize for not being clear on that matter.** Anyways, to sign up, post in this topic "Squidward loves Patrick more than SpongeBob!" or some other SpongeBob quote (or even a simple "SIGN ME UP!" would suffice). NOTE: If you had signed up in the previous topic, please sign up again in this topic. Even though you did technically sign up, this is to make sure that you are able to come (e.g. I don't want you to sign up in a previous topic, see the new topic, and go "Oh, I have work, so I can't go!"). Mostly a formality. The game will start on Saturday, November 19th at 7:00 PM EDT. If you do not live in the Eastern time zone, please adjust the time accordingly (Pacific time zone is 4 PM, for example). As always, you will get a PM with the link and a reminder 2 hours ahead of the game. The prize: 2,000 doubloons and the "Jeopardy Champion" rank, which you get to keep until the next round! Rules to the game: SpoilerRule #1: 10-second limit* In the real Jeopardy game, Alex would read the question and then after the question is read, the contestants could answer. Well, to make up for that, we have the 10-second limit! Here's how it works: Jjs will say the answer in the xat. Right afterwards, the 10 seconds starts. You may type your answer into the box within those 10 seconds, but don't send. Then, after 10 seconds, he will say "QUESTIONS IN!" Once he says that, you can say your question (e.g. What is Gary the Snail?). If you say it too early, however, the answer will not be counted. The first person to get it right gets the points. *There are two exceptions: 1. Daily Barnacles give you 15 seconds. 2. Final Jeopardy gives you a minute. Rule #2: You will never lose points, even if you answer incorrectly. Two reasons why: 1) It's frustrating; 2) Jjs is already overworked as it is... do you really want to trouble him with negative points? Exception: Final Jeopardy AND Daily Barnacles are the only time you will actually lose points. Rule #3: The 1 minute rule! Not to confuse this rule with the 10-second rule, but if nobody gets the right question within a minute, then the question is "beeped" and we move on. This is to avoid the answer going on for hours and hours. Rule #4: Jjs is wrong! If the answer is wrong and I said that it was right, then you can PM me (in the xat) the right answer (DO NOT SAY IT IN THE MAIN CHAT) and also provide a source for the correction and I'll get it fixed immediately. Rule #5: Double Guessing After you say your first guess, you cannot guess again. Any guesses after your first guess will not count, so don't even try. Rule #6: Daily Barnacles Just like in a real Jeopardy game, there will be Daily Doubles, as I'd like to call "Daily Barnacles". If someone runs into one of these, they can wager how much points they want. Then, ONLY THAT PERSON can answer the question. They will have 15 seconds to answer, unlike the normal 10 seconds. There is only 2 per game, if you don't know already. Be careful with what you wager, as if you get it wrong, you CAN lose points. Once again, if that person doesn't get it, we will just beep it and move on. Rule #7: Final Jeopardy Sometimes after we finish a game, we will do a Final Jeopardy - which is a final and very difficult question. You will wager how much you want to Jjs through PC. Note that you will have 1 minute to answer it and sometimes Jjs may allow you to google it. You will also have to PC Jjs your answer for it. Note that not every game will have a Final Jeopardy. Once again, you can lose points from this as well. Rule #8: Winning If you win a game, then you can not play in the next game. You can still watch and moderate the game though (and even help Jjs make some categories for the game if you wish), but this is to only give players a fair chance. Of course, you can play in the game after it. Good luck, and be sure to sign-up! CONTESTANTS SOF Wumbology jjs Steel JCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
