[note=Rules]1. There are six categories, with five point values in each category. The game lasts until all clues have been answered or passed on, or until the end of the month, whichever comes first. At the end of the game session, the winner receives a sig trophy (hopefully to be designed by someone else ;))
2. The first one with the correct answer will get the points. Answers must be phrased in the form of a question. If you give an incorrect answer you must wait at least 1 hour before attempting it again.
3. You must wait at least one hour to answer a question about your own setting. You cannot select your own setting when picking a category unless there are no other options.
4. When you give an answer, also give your choice and point value for the next question.
5. If a question has not been correctly answered after 24 hours, we'll move on, with the a question randomly chosen by the host.
6. There will be a Double Jeopardy round only if we finish the first early enough in the month.[/note]
In honor of the old trivia thread (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?51083), I'm starting a new form game. I will host the first month's game, and hopefully someone else will be interesting in doing future months. Ish and I talked about it a little bit, and we hope it'll spark interest in some of the settings of our members. So we really encourage everyone to play.
For this first game, the first person to post a response will get to pick the category and point value.

Celtricia - Lord Vreeg (complete)
The Jade Stage - Luminous Crayon (complete)
Karros (from the Unconquered Realm) - Nomadic (complete)

[spoiler=commentary]Due to the way that information is documented (i.e., "poorly"), that may be a rather difficult question. My bad.[/spoiler]
What is dojh-oln-beh?
We will accept that answer (in light of LC's commentary), as that is a name for the world. We would also have accepted the Cardan name "What is Marebo?".
200 for Atlantis!
You guys can actually pick the next category in the same post as you give the answer. I think that'll be the best way to keep things moving.
Atlantis needs to pick a category so I can hurry up and win this thing... :)

[ic=Wake for 200]This is the remains of the True World after the Shattering.[/ic]
I'm going to go with "What are Reflections?"
Wake for 400 (if I'm right)
That wasn't quite the answer we were looking for, but perhaps I worded the clue in an obscure way. I shall re-word it (is that allowed in the rules?) to avoid confusion with reflections.
[ic]This represents the collective remnants of the True World after the Shattering.[/ic]
Ah, what are Aetherspheres?
Wake 400
We would also have accepted "The Tangle." Actually, the distinctions are so subtle in Wake, it's hard to form a clue that can't offer more than one answer. At least for all those related concepts.
[ic=Wake for 400]These objects allow travel between Spheres.[/ic]
Less ambiguous, I hope?

Another 1000 for Rael.
[ic=Karros 400]This continent is a feral realm where even the trees are to be feared.[/ic]
Hey, kinda trick question, "What is Karros?"
I'll take Xiluh for $1000
Yeah, it was from before the the site made it more specific that Karros was just a facet of UR.
[ic=Xiluh 1000]The Xiluh natives believe that those that die honorable deaths become these.[/ic]
Ooh, Ooh, What is a Star?? (awesome mythology, this should be listed on your "Homebrew Mythology" links on your Mythology Resource page!! :) )
UR for $600
Feel free to add it ;) As far as that section goes, I figured people would add their own (I was only doing those on the wiki, but others work too).
[ic=Karros 600]This copper coin is the smallest increment of merchant coins sanctioned by the Karrosian Mercantile Guild.[/ic]
Oh hey its been an hour so it should be fine. :)

(hope that's not too confusing)
I think it's "What are the Unasi and Twan Gaiumii?
UR for $1000
And BTW, would you like me to run the next game?
I'd like for you to design the winner's badge trophy :cool:
And yeah, if you ran the next one that'd be swell ;). I had intended it to be a monthly contest--the idea being each badge would indicate the month. Since we finished so fast I had been beginning to consider doing a double jeopardy round after all.
What do you think is best?
[ic=Karros for 1000]This is the proper name for the time of mist.[/ic]
Regardless, as I mentioned earlier, I will not be around to run it for November or December, so whether you run it or we draft the winner of the each previous month to do so... :demon:
Actually, I had a few other thoughts about the contest, since it seems to have gone well. I may PM you later tonight to try to work out whether we've got the best method or could improve it.
I know this answer, but I'm going to let someone else answer so I have more time to design the badge and write up questions. :) :) :)
And I think a Double Jeopardy would be a good idea, because it would give everyone an opportunity to catch up to Raelifin. Maybe something like, Tell what the topic will be, and everyone can send in their wagers to you, then ask the question, and everyone has to send in an answer within the next six hours or something? I dunno how it would really work w/ Double Jeopardy...
What is Cronam Nes?
Wow. I would have lost if you had answered, Ish. *whew* Good game everyone. I think doing Double would be fun, though (fyi).
According to Wikipedia, double just doubles the point value for each question and comes up with another 30 questions.
1000 for Raelifin! :rambo:
Since the winner agrees, I will go ahead and do a double round, to bring us closer to the end of the month.
I have not written the questions yet. However, I will go ahead and chose the 5 categories, so Raelifin can pick the one he wants, and the value (400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000).
Categories: Calisenthe, Eclipse :ninja:, Panisadore, Phaedorás, Wonders
Question: Should the contest continue to be open to everyone, or limited to the (seven) players already playing?
Oh, right, I was thinking of the "Final Jeopardy." In that case, you should go right ahead :)
Hell, I say just still leave it open to anybody - we're still finding out what works best and all. Also, good selection, several of those are campaigns that could stand a bit more of my reading them.
I forgot there are six. Broken Verge by Crippled Crow nicely rounds out our settings on the wiki.
Yeah, I meant Final Jeopardy too. (Whatever.) And [quote Wikipedia]The contestant with the lowest amount of money at the end of the Jeopardy! Round makes the first selection in Double Jeopardy! If there is a tie for the trailing position, the player to the host's left selects first.[/quote]
In other news: Yay, Phaedorás!
Well, in that case Atlantis can pick. If he hasn't picked by the time I've got questions ready, I'll pick one at random.
So I'll try to dice roller [dice]1d6[/dice] to pick a setting, then edit the post.
So the question is Calisenthe for 400.
[ic=Calisenthe for 400]These are the dominant themes of Calisenthe.[/ic]
what are choices and salvation?
Phaedorás for 400
The first points of the double round to Vreeg.
[ic=Phaedorás 400]These are beasts made into men, the people of the world[/ic]
who are the omáku?
Phaedoras for 800, sir
400 for Vreeg.
[ic=Phaedoras for 800]This is the world of spirits.[/ic]
[ooc]I'm actually kinda impressed by the Xiluh questions. It continues to amaze me just how well known it is amongst this community. In fact, I don't think even I would have gotten that question about the tunnel cutters right without checking...[/ooc]
where is Phaejhásoh?
(yes, that was pasted)
I'll be brave and go for Wonders at 400
Yeah, the accent marks ensure lots of copying/pasting when dealing with Phaedoras (or skipping them for things I know how to spell).
[ic=Wonders 400]This is the setting for Wonders.[/ic]
Where is the Tandhus Archipeligo?
Wonders fr 800
[ic=Wonders 800] This race is divided into many groups because of years of slavery.[/ic]

[ic=Wonders 1200]This race has arms coated in scattered gemstones.[/ic]

On to Panisadore.
[ic=Panisadore 400]Panisadore circles this many stars.[/ic]
what is a binary system?
Panisador for 800...
[ic=Panisadore 800]This is the God of Entropy.[/ic]
Who is Hebnaritath?
Panisadore 1200
Edit:I added this after the fact to make sure Vreeg (or someone) didn't beat me to the answer. :demon: You guys should check out Panisadore, it's providing a surprisingly good read. The Malenorian Empire (http://www.thecbg.org/wiki/index.php/Malenorian_Empire) is a particularly fascinating read.
[ic=Panisadore 1200]This is the name for elves in this setting.[/ic]
wHO ARE THE Fehladurh?
ECLIPSE FOR 400
I believe you just broke the $10,000 mark, sir.
[ic=Eclipse 400]Eclipse takes place on this island chain.[/ic]
WHERE IS THE SYKFALL ARCHIPELIGO!!
Eclipse for 800.
Love your enthusiasm.
[ic=Eclipse 800]This is the most sacred location on the archipelago.[/ic]
What is The Astral Temple?
almost forgot heh... Panisadore for 1600
You got it.
[ic=Panisadore 1600]This is the state deity of the Malenorian Empire.[/ic]
Who/What is Jessanak?
Panisadore 2000
Yes. Yes. That is right.
[ic=Panisadore 2000]This mythological figure helped grant Panisadore its name.[/ic]
Wow this is a hard one. I read every single page on the wiki and couldn't find anything (I really hope the answer isn't in a thread since a search reveals pages upon pages of information :S).
Ha, yeah, it's a hard one. And yes, it's in a thread, not the wiki. I knew it would be obscure, hence why the high point value. :demon:
Oh phoenix you tricky bastard... here all this time I was looking for a god in Panisadore that named it...
Who is Pandora (or Anesidora)?
Dang keep forgetting... Calisenthe for $800 :P
Heh, it wasn't intended to be a trick question, but I could see how it might look that way ;)
At least you know you earned the 2000.
[ic=Calisenthe 800]Calisenthe uses this game system[/ic]

Calisenthe for $1200
[ic=Calisenthe 1200]This person is called the dark necromancer of Pasagral.[/ic]
who was Fer-Non?
Wild, crazy and Sexy Eclipse, for 1200
I believe the full name is Quianji Fer-Non, but the judges say we accept just Fer-Non since it's obvious we're talking about the same guy.
[ic=Eclipse 1200]This is the greatest military asset of the Solars.[/ic]
What is the sun pact
Eclipse for $1600
[ic=Eclipse 1600]This person is properly addressed as 'your radiance.'[/ic]

[ic=Eclipse 2000]Moon-touched that abuse their powers risk becoming these.[/ic]
What are lunatics?
(Man I have a long way to go to catch up now)
Let's get back over to Calisenthe for 1600.
Edit:BTW, I love that you actually use the original mythology/definition of the word "lunatic," but fit it so well into your fantasy mythos.
Thanks, Ish. And yeah, Vreeg has a hefty lead.
[ic=Calisenthe 1600]The Calisenthe header is made from images of this place.[/ic]
Probably another hard one.
Where is Scotland?
(I'll tell you where, that's where my clan hies from...The Butt of Lewis, to be precise...)
Phaedoras for 1200...
What is Scotland? (Being scottish in origin I would be ashamed to not get this one :P )
I will take Calisenthe for 2000 oh great firebird
Edit: Damn my internet (I kept trying to post this around 12:30 and it kept failing... finally managed to get it through a few minutes later only to see that someone else beat me. Gah! well at least it was a fellow Scotsman from my own clan)... and why the hell does the forum say 12:40 something when I got it through around 12:34? Probably my slow as hell connection :/
A little Scottish rivalry will keep things lively.
[ic=Phaedoras 1200]These are the first omáku, according to legend.[/ic]
no rivalry, same clan. Actually. Dun Eistein!
who were Loihu and LÃnui?

Ishmayl $15,200
LordVreeg $20,400
Luminous Crayon $1200
Nomadic $10,200
Raelifin $5800
Though we finished only halfway through the month, I do not believe this forum game is well-suited to a Final Jeopardy round.
[spoiler=My Reasoning]The Final Jeopardy round, as explained in Wikipedia, relies on contestants having 30 seconds to write an answer after wagering as much money as desired. However, a time limit would be questionable on a forum, where not all participants have constant access. Without a time limit, however, it is merely a matter of looking up the question (as is part of the idea), so the round really just turns in to a "everybody that feels like it doubles their money" round. The winner only changes if the current winner fails to look up the answer within 24 hours (or whatever).[/spoiler]
Therefore, Lord Vreeg wins!
The winner may collect winnings via your local turtle bank. Cash prizes are redeemable in any of the featured settings of this month's contest. All prizes subject to imperial law, autocratic whim, theocratic mandate, or general tribal consensus as applicable. Void where prohibited by law or gamemaster. The CBG is not responsible for any loss of limb, life, or sanity resulting from this contest, nor for the actions of any deities angered by the winner's use of the prize. The CBG is not responsible for ensuring that vampire lords render the aforementioned prizes unto the winner. Please enjoy responsibly. No turtles were harmed in the making of this episode.
Local Turtle Banks may or may not be open, depending on the laziness of Overlords and the respective availability (or lack thereof) of trophies.
Just letting you know that I've got about half the questions I need to run a game, but I'm thinking, so we don't tire out both players and hosts (and run out of subjects, too!), I'll start in October? What do you guys think?
Also, Geopardy Trophy is getting there, but it's hard to incorporate "Superior Knowledge of Campaign Settings" and "The CBGeopardy" into one little 22x22 icon. :)
Yeah, I figured the contest would be monthly anyway. If it's too much info, maybe you could just make the badge "Sep CBGeopardy" or something similar?
If I was to run another, I would had to start plumbing the forums, since I've mostly cleaned through the wiki. Of course, there's more questions for already chosen settings...
Right, we should probably put a 3-month timer on going back to a previously used setting.
Quote from: IshmaylRight, we should probably put a 3-month timer on going back to a previously used setting.
I propose we use a different system. Why not put a 2 month/jeopardy episode 'timer' on each setting but only for the round of jeopardy it was used for (i.e. regular and double). Meaning, Celtricia was used for Double Jeopardy that means for the next two games it can't be used in Double Jeopardy.
I propose this mostly because I think, quite quickly, we'll run out of detailed settings (10 a month will whittle down what we have quickly). Plus it brings a little stability to the games, knowing that even though you missed that question about such-and-such setting, the knowledge you accrued during your search will help you in the next game. Further, it just makes the host's life a little easier in that he doesn't need to constantly search for 10 new settings each game.
well, we can reuse many settings. we have more than 5 good questions in most of our works, I hope!
A good thought EE.
Celtricia was used for regular jeopardy round, technically, but that's neither here nor there.
I think EE has a good point and a good suggestion. I'm going to plan on that, I believe. Also, Vreeg has a worthwhile point as well. Hopefully, the settings we choose have at least 10 subjects from which to choose questions. :)
As it stands, Crystalstar (http://www.thecbg.org/wiki/index.php/Crystalstar) probably only has enough material for 5 questions :P but I will not miss the chance for shameless self-promotion by mentioning it!
The nice thing here is that I am actually beginning to add to the UR/Karros wiki so by the time we come around to using it again people wont have to skim the forums for answers.
Feel free to use my setting for the next game of CBeopardy! Although, players would have a slight advantage since there is a search feature in the wiki. ;)
Yeah, I have a feeling that's how a reasonable majority of the questions were answered, but our purpose is not to criticize such behavior, but hope that in their searching, they will also read a bit about the setting as well.
Yes I know I did. I would find the answer and then go back afterwards to read more. Alot of the stuff I found was quite fascinating.
Are you going to make a new topic or keep this one, Ish?
Probably new topic, so it'll say "[October]" instead of September ;)
My thoughts exactly.
Quote from: IshmaylProbably new topic, so it'll say "[October]" instead of September ;)
:drunk:
While I could edit it to be a single thread, this allows whoever runs the contest for the month to edit the first post with updated scores and remaining questions. Since it won't necessarily always be me or Ish running the game. In fact, at one point the idea was the winner would inherit the position of host.
Also, different threads keeps it in line with the prior contests on the site, though I didn't really think to put it in that forum.
Yeah, we can put it there next time, and I'll move this one as well.... *done*
Maybe I should offer this up to Vreeg since he won? Vreeg? You out there? You got some thoughts on this? Wanna host a contest?
Using the chat would make this faster paced and would give people less time to search.... but that would just be evil.
I think it'd be fun!
And then people like me who logged in less often would have a chance to play. :)
Perhaps. I see three marks against it.
First, any chat-based program, as with awards, faces the difficulty of getting multiple people, spread around the world, all online at the same time even once, much less multiple times.
Second, it requires players to dedicate a more significant amount of time to playing. While I could come in and check for email notices regularly, I wouldn't want to just sit in a chat room for twenty or thirty minutes very often.
And third, part of the idea is to encourage people to read other settings. The live format would probably even more limit it than PbP.
But then, there are downsides to either choice.
BTW, I never used any search function or such. I will admit to a job/career path involved with data aquisition, however...and I am NOT for the chat based ideal.
I see chat as more of a fun thing. Every once in awhile if anyone is active in the room it throws out a question from the wiki and the first person to answer gets some points. Throw in a scoreboard and you have some side entertainment.
Ish, did you decide not to run this, this month?
IIRC, Ish is really busy with life and CBG 2.0, so I'd think it safe to assume he just doesn't have the time to run the game. :(
Hmm, can you run the October game Phoenix?
Sadly, I don't really either, due to real life. Maybe one of the other players would like to step up?
In all honesty, it's about 40% Real Life, and 60% forgetfulness. I had about half the questions ready before October, and then got sidetracked, and haven't gotten back to it. Tell you what, I'll do my damndest to get it ready so we can do November. Sorry for dropping ball.
It's not dropping the ball, Ish. Tell them you were dribbling. It counts.
Yeah, no biggie. I figured it might have just slipped your mind--it had slipped mine until recently.
