Gameplay:


The goal of the game is to make a tic tac toe with your letter (X or O). In the original format, the player won after one round. To make this more interesting for a forum adaptation, the game will be a best of three.

X will start. To begin, a random player will be selected as X. For the 2nd and 3rd round (if necessary), the player who won the previous round will be X.


Players take turns selecting a category on the board that corrisponds with a sqaure. The player will then recieve a question from that category. If the player elects the category in the center square, they will have to answer a two part question and get both parts of the question right.

If a player answers a question right, their letter will appear on that square. If they answer it wrong, nothing happens, and the opponent has a turn. Once a player has a square, it cannot be removed.

Categories are randomized and shuffled after each time a player has taken a turn.


If a player achieves tic tac toe, they will win the round. If the game ends in a tie, a new board will be given.

Red Categories:

Red categories are special categories that have different rules. The following red categories may be used and any special rules that apply to them appear below:


Seesaw:


Players will be given a question, and starting with the player that selected the category, players will alternate between giving answers in that category. If one player provides an incorrect answer or cannot provide an answer within the time limit, their opponent will obtain the square. In the event that all possible items in the category are selected, then no one will get the square.

Spoiler: Example
Colors of the rainbow:

Player X: Red!

Player O: Blue!

Player X: Pink!

Dashing Host: O gets the square!



Number, Please:


The player who selects this will be given a question with a numeric answer. If they are correct, that player will get the square. If they are incorrect, their opponent will have the option to select 'higher' or 'lower.' If the correct answer corresponds with the choice the opponent made, they get the square, otherwise the player who answered gets the square.

Spoiler: Example
How many bones are in the adult human body?:

Player X: 204!

Dashing Host: That is incorrect. Player O may now guess if the correct answer is higher or lower.

Player O: Hmmm. I failed anatomy, but I do think it's less than that. Lower!

Dashing Host: That is incorrect, it is 206! X gets the square!



Take Two:


The player who buzzes in will be given two clues. If they can answer the question after one clue, they will win the square. However, if they wish to receive the second clue, they must first give the opponent a chance to answer the question after the first clue.

Spoiler: Example
Dashing Host: This actor played police chief Ed Ramsey in the 2003 thriller Phone Booth.

Player X: Oh shoot, I don't know. I need the second clue. Go ahead, Player O.

Player O: Well drat, I don't know either, but I think Keifer Sutherland was in that movie, so I'll guess Keifer Sutherland!

Dashing Host: That is incorrect! The second clue is: this actor also hosted a 2002-2003 revival of The Twilight Zone.

Player X: OMG I LOVE THAT SHOW! It's Forrest Whitaker!

Dashing Host: X gets the square!



Trivia Dare:


The player who selects this will be given a multiple choice question with three answers. They start by selecting an answer. Their opponent is then allowed to select one of the two remaining answers. If one player gets it right, they will get the square, but if the correct answer is the one not chosen, no one will get the square.

Spoiler: Example
What is the Greek Letter that comes after Beta?

A. Gamma
B. Delta
C. Chi

Player X: Chi starts with a C, so lets go with that one!

Dashing Host: Player O may now select one of the choices.

Player O: Hmm...I've heard of Delta before, so I think I'll choose that one.

Dashing Host: The correct answer is.....A. Gamma! No one gets the square :(



Secret Category:


This question is merely a question of an unknown category, otherwise it plays out as normal. When answered correctly, the pot is doubled.

In the event I'm feeling saucy and want to add another red category I will update this list and direct your attention. These categories are not guaranteed to be in the game.

Red categories, when they land in the center square, do not have two part questions.


Rules for forum adaptation:


If on the first game, 4 boards pass without a clear winner of the match, the game will go into sudden death, and the player who wins will win the game. The only reason for this rule is to ensure this does not take several months to complete.

We will go until one person has won 2 out of three boards, however long it takes.


Answers must be bold to be accepted.


Players will have 36 hours to select a category and 36 hours when given a question to answer it. If on V/LA, please make it very clear to the host so that we can plan accordingly. Standard forum trivia rules apply: you must use your own knowledge to answer the question, no google, no friends or family, no lifelines.

Players must be respectful of each other and especially of your dashing host, even if he makes terrible puns.

The winner may play a bonus round if they wish that is strictly for fun and has no bearing on the game.
Money earn from the game has no bearing on the person who wins; the player that successfully beats the other on two boards will become the victor.

Please note rule changes in italics. Rule changes will (hopefully) be displayed publicly.

Due to the sudden start, I will forgo the time rule for the first two questions.

Welcome to the game! I'm your host, Dashing Host! It's time to begin. Please welcome our first contest, who just arrived in the nick of...time...it's everyone's favorite doctor, winner of Countdown, doctorwho! And please welcome our next contestant...is she an elf? Is she a backwards fox? Science doesn't know, but we know her as the winner of Pointless, put your hands together for xofelf!

Backstage in the Random.Org Lounge, doctorwho won the coinflip and will be playing as X, while xofelf will be playing as O. Let's take a look at the board!


Animals Chemistry Entertainment
Before and After Sports Food and Beverage
Seesaw
Words Geography


Sports is in the center, so keep in mind that is a two part question if you choose to take it. As you can see, there is only red category this game, Seesaw, and you can see the rules for it above. Lastly, Before and After is just like the Wheel of Fortune category of the same name, where the answer will be two phrases connected by a common word.
Spoiler: Example
For example, if the question was "First president and University in Pullman whose mascot is the cougar," then the answer would be

George
Washington
State University

xofelf:

The theory of evolution by means of natural selection is credited to one British naturalist who is famous for recording differences in beak sizes in finches on the Galapagos Islands, as well as publishing
On the Origin of Species
. However, another British naturalist and colleague independently came up with the idea and the two of them helped inspire each other. Who are these two men who helped develop the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Also a quick clarification: if a red category falls into a center square, the question will not be 2 part it will just follow the rules of the red category.

I recognize the disparity in the questions. They are of random difficulty (and center square is typically harder anyway). Since you have an equal chance of getting a question I am less concerned with making sure each question is of the exact same difficulty and more concerned with having enough for each category.

If xofelf wins, she will block and the game will be a cat's game.
If doctorwho wins, he will win this first game.
If both players get all answers, no one will get the square.
If you repeat an answer, provide a wrong answer, or cannot think of an answer within 36 hours of the previous answer, then you will lose and the other player will get the square.

There are 73 answers in this category:
Winners of the Academy Award for Best Actress


We will start with xofelf. Please name one. When you name one, doctorwho can just go without waiting for me, etc. I will stop you when someone has lost.

One of you will be getting this square, this turn, doctorwho will be going for the block, while xofelf will be going for the win.

I will ask a question, and doctorwho will give an answer, which is a number. If he is exactly right, he will get the square. If he his wrong, however, xofelf will have the option of guessing 'higher' or 'lower.' If she is correct that it is higher or lower than doctorwho has guessed, then she will get the square, and if she is wrong, doctorwho will get the square.

doctorwho, your question:

Pope John Paul II's reign as Pope was the second longest papal reign in history. How many years, rounded to the nearest year, did he reign?

Some notes on the categories:

Spoiler:
For An Historic Year, you will be given events that happened and I need you to tell me what year they happened in.

For Definitions, I will give a word and I will be looking for a good representation of the definition. This will be somewhat subjective so be as clear as possible. (i.e. for somnambulist, I'm looking for sleep and I'm looking for walk for sleepwalker. Something like 'restless sleeper' would be incorrect).

For Who Am I? I will give you a series of clues about a person in the first person, and you need to tell me who I am. (e.g. "I was the original host of Greed on Mafiascum and I was the dashing host of Weakest Link for GSM. Who am I?")

Yes, but Doctor...who?

um

anyway

doctorwho,

I got my start as a side character on the J.J. Abrams series Alias. Afterwards, I played the lead on the short lived sitcom Kitchen Confidential, where I played a chef inspired by the experiences of Anthony Bourdain. However I am probably more famous for my movie work, and I've been nominated for a few Oscars (though certainly not for my role in A-Team).

Since going first gives some advantage of being able to pick any square, since it was a coin toss to begin with I'm not sure I want to just say that because doctorwho won the coin toss. When one of you wins a board I wouldn't switch.

If I can't stump you with this board or the next board I will discuss options with both of you on how to proceed since if I cannot produce hard enough questions this won't end. As fun as it is pumping out trivia questions I'm sure one of you would like to win at some point ;)

Oh, that was a center square. My apologies for being off my game as of late.

In order to obtain that center square, you'll have to answer another question, so here goes.

doctorwho,

Flowering plants are the most diverse form of land plants, and they take their scientific name from the Greek for vessel and seed to signify their seeds are encased in ovaries. What is this name?

If this were a different part of the game I'd have dinged you for the deadline but I've been pretty distracted lately and more sporadic that what I'd like to be. I will try to get things back on track for this game and if I do I will be stricter with deadlines.

As a reminder, doctorwho gets a chance to answer with a number. If he hits it dead on, he wins the square. If he doesn't, xofelf gets a chance to answer "higher" or "lower." If xof is right, she'll get the square and win the board, while if she's wrong, doctorwho will get the square, resulting in a cat's game.

Incorporating Hawaii and Alaska for fun, your question, doctorwho:

How many days passed between when Alaska became the 49th state and Hawaii became the 50th?

Sorry for delay

That is the exact answer, and thus the board looks like this:

X
O
X
-
X
O
O

O


Gameboard 4 ends in a cat's game as well.

My suggestion is that we make each category a seasaw category, so you will keep giving answers until no one can.
I would also suggest sudden death, where we simply go with that until one person wins a board, and then they win the game.

My other suggestion would be to scrap Tic Tac Dough and play an entirely new game.

Since I'm changing the rules midswing, please let me know if either of those plans work for you, and if not, we'll discuss another alternative.

Apologies I'm still here. I'm trying to curb my MS usage so I'm not on as much as I was.

I think a new game is better. I will think on that and give an option for you two to approve and if so we will get started.

I am considering Blockbusters with some modifications.

The basic idea is that on a board full of hexes, if you get a question right, you get that hex. The goal is to either connect a line of hexes from left to right or top to bottom depending on what player you are.

Normally it's a 5 by 4 board (the champion has to only connect 4, or it switches). Each hex has a letter in it, the answer to the question starts with that letter.

I would probably make it 5 by 5 and do one round, this is sudden death. Normally this game requires buzzing in. I can do what they did in Bank Job, and roll a die to determine an answer, but I think I would rather just do this:

Both players must submit an answer in X amount of time. If both players get it right or wrong, no one gets it, but if one player knows it and the other does, they will get the hex. If one player answers and the other doesn't answer in time, the one that answers will get the hex. I'm going to try to keep things moving.

If neither get the hex, I will stay at that hex and keep asking questions that have an answer beginning with that letter. If 10 questions go by and it looks like I'm getting nowhere, I'll either switch to dice for buzzing in, or concede.

As pointed out by JDGA the example board I showed isn't quite fair but it'll be 5 by 5 and rhomboid in shape.
