Rules

General:

-This game has been adapted from the Australian television quiz show Millionaire Hot Seat.
-Seeking outside help to answer questions is NOT allowed.
-For the purposes of the game show marathon, the goal of this game is merely to be the last player standing, with earning a maximum amount of money only being a secondary objective.
-The last player remaining will move on to the next round of the tournament.

Gameplay:

-Contestants take it in turns answering questions in-thread posted by myself, with turn order being randomized at the beginning of the game (a key difference from the show is that instead of only switching upon a pass or elimination, each contestant will only answer one question at a time unless they are the final one).
-A correctly answered question causes the value on the money tree to move up one level.
-Answering a question incorrectly results in elimination from the game, and the highest value remaining on the money tree is removed.
-The traditional three lifelines have been replaced with a single 'pass' for each contestant, which may be used to pass their question to the next contestant in line (who cannot pass the question further).
-The time limit for answering a question is 24 hours from the time of its posting (although you are welcome to answer or pass sooner). If a contestant's time runs out, their pass is automatically used if they had it remaining. Otherwise, they are eliminated. If you anticipate any problems with the time limit please let me know in advance.
-The game ends either when all contestants are eliminated, or when the question for the highest value on the money tree is answered. In the event of two or more contestants still being in the game at the final question, a tiebreaker method will be devised.

Money:

-All money is Australian dollars. No US dollars or other currency is available.
-Below is the money tree. Note that this follows the original show rather than the Hot Seat variant (please ignore the lifeline symbols).



-Once the 5th and 10th question milestones are reached, the final contestant answering a question incorrectly will leave with $1,000 or $32,000 respectively.

The turn order will be as follows:

1. Xalxe
2. Cephrir
3. PrivateI
4. doctorwho

This means that...

Xalxe, you are the first one up, to answer the $100 question!!!

[DeasVail]

You have (expired on 2014-05-19 09:43:50) to answer the question in-thread. You are able to pass if you wish.

(Note: If the contestants would prefer 48 hour time limits, that can be done)

[Xalxe]

Oh geez, this is a hard one...

D. Psy

Also, to confirm, we get one Pass only, yes?

[DeasVail]

Also, to confirm, we get one Pass only, yes?

Now we'll welcome PrivateI to answer his first question, for $300.

[DeasVail]

PrivateI, you have (expired on 2014-05-19 22:55:36) to answer in-thread. You are able to pass if you wish.

[PrivateI]

Oh! I remember reading this. It was interesting because it was completely out of left field.

Qatar

won the bid for hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

[DeasVail]

Is he right???? Yes he is!!!



~~

And now our fourth and final contestant, doctorwho, will get his turn in the hot seat with the $500 question.

[DeasVail]

Doctorwho, you have (expired on 2014-05-20 01:40:35) to answer the question in-thread. You are able to pass if you wish.

[JDGA]

I thought the obvious joke answers were only used in the $100 question?

[Cephrir]

On this side of the Pacific they used to last all the way through $500! That was regular edition though.

[doctorwho]

B: Charlotte Bronte

, final answer/lock it in/whatever.

[Cephrir]

Actually, all the answers are wrong. I've never heard of these "Bronte" people. I'm sure you couldn't be confusing them with that most noble house of Brontë, so it must be a trick question.

[DeasVail]

Yeah yeah whatever

I'm going to wait until the MS problems are cleared up before continuing.

[DeasVail]

V/LA due to internet connection problems. Hopefully sorted by tomorrow.

[DeasVail]

I will get this started again on the weekend.

[DeasVail]

Xalxe is up next for the $1000 question!



There is no deadline set for the time being. PMs will be sent to all contestants.

[Xalxe]

C. Semillon

[DeasVail]

Xalxe is correct!!! (Now without eye-killing green)



~~

This means that Cephrir is up for the $2000 question!!!



You have (expired on 2014-06-01 07:00:45) to answer the question in-thread. You are able to pass if you wish.

[Cephrir]

C.) 50

Not sure, but I think so?

[DeasVail]

With C60 being the formula, the answer of C is incorrect.



~~

Cephrir has now been eliminated from the game and the highest value of $1 Million will be removed from the money tree, leaving PrivateI to answer the new $2,000 question.
