Rules

:

In (very) Short

Seven spaces. Unlimited players (though I'd like to keep it to 10 or less ACTIVE players). When one player hits space 7, the game is over and the person furthest from the last space is the winner.

The Particulars

The Play

- Each round, a category will be given, such as "Name Five Pieces of Exercise Equipment" or "Which Player Reads the Most Novels." I will give a deadline for PM submissions of your answers and, at deadline, will post them all. The point is not to give the correct answer(s), but to give the most

popular

answer(s).

No internet searching

!

Edit: Also, no discussion of the current topic with other players.

If you know you're going to be away from the board, just send a message to me and I'll let you know the next category/categories so that you can PM your answers to me ahead of time and keep playing even if, temporarily, you won't be available. But if I don't hear from you and you miss a deadline, you'll be dropped from the game.

The Round Scoring

- You will score zero points for any answer you gave which matched no one else's...and points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each item on your list. For example, if the category was "Give three names for little boys" and the answers given were (in a four-person game)...

Billy (CoolBot, Crola, nonny)

3 points

Bobby (Crola, nonny, Xanthe)

3 points

Johnny (CoolBot, Crola)

2 points

George (CoolBot, Xanthe)

2 points

Ralph (nonny)

0 points

Rufus (Xanthe)

0 points

...so the scores for this round would be:

Crola: 8
CoolBot: 7
nonny: 6
Xanthe: 5

Board Movement

- After the round scores are tallied, the player with the least number of points for the round moves forward one space. If there is a tie for least number of points, all those involved in the tie move forward (unless

all

players are tied, in which case there is no movement). We clear the points and start the next round.

Game End

- When at least one player reaches the last space, the player furthest back wins the game. If there are more than one player tied for winning position, those who've reached space seven are out of the game and the rest will continue until there is a clear winner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Remember: the goal of this game is to think like everyone else! You may know the RIGHT answers...but if no one else does, it won't help you in this game.

[StevieT92]

[MeMe]

Yep -- it's time for another game of WWYT!

I haven't lost in this game yet.

Scared of Pooky is like being scared of a little teddy bear.

HA.

[VisMaior]

/Id like to try, list sending soon

[MeMe]

This is

more

than enough players, so I'll just send prods to those who've signed up but have yet to send lists -- once all of those are in, sign-ups will be closed. You can still send me a list even if you've not yet signed up...but you'll have to get it in quick!

[TBuG]

Wow, that's a LOT of people...

[MeMe]

it would be good if you woiuld add the gtm time....

Sorry -- just noticed this -- EST is GMT-4 hours.

So 7 p.m. EST would be the same as 11 p.m. GMT.

Poor

rolandofthewhite

-- this degree of amusement park knowledge (or lack thereof) paints a picture of a very sad childhood...

New Category is a question

: "Would you rather taste everything you look at or lose your sense of taste completely?"

Deadline

Noon EST Sunday, October 23

[This is not me]

jippii i did pretty good,i dont like the choose questions

[Norinel]

As long as she doesn't mix the Zobmondo cards in with the WWYT cards, I'll be okay.

[rolandofthewhite]

I hate amusement parks, as inHim knows.

[This is not me]

btw what is tilt-a-whirl?

[Dourgrim]

I just realized that, unless one or two people

really

drop the ball all game, this stands a very good chance of being an

extremely

long game.

Yay!
