The Campaign Builder's Guild

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.

: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?
