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?

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...

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Wow. I would have lost if you had answered, Ish. *whew* Good game everyone. I think doing Double would be fun, though (fyi).

Matt Larkin (author)

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.

Raelifin

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!

Matt Larkin (author)

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]
