    Example Game:
    Category: Pokemon from Gen 4

    Hopkirk: Turtwig
    VirajVora: Pikachu
    Atli: Chingling
    Samphire: Combee

    Host: Hopkirk, Turtwig had 50 people name it so your score is 50.
    Host: VirajVora, Pikachu is wrong so you get 100 points.
    Host: Atli, Chingling was POintless so you get 0 points and you win the next round.
    Host: Samphire, Combee had 4 people name it so you get 4 points.

    Virajvora is knocked out and Hopkirk, Atli and Samphire all advance to the next round.

    The Finals work a little differently but only the player left at the end will do it so I will leave it until we get there.

    There are no limits to Signups but the deadline is April 8th at 14:00 BST (+0?) (does BST use them?)

    Sure didn't give this long for signups did you.
    I'm interested as to where you're getting your answer numbers from and I'm interested to know how a question with as many answers as "Pokémon from gen 4" can make for an at all viable round. But sure I'm in.

    I'm asking people on the Server and people I know (I make sure people on the server agree first) and I give them 100 seconds to name as many as they can. It can make a viable round because so many people are being asked and on average they produced around 20 answers each.

    -_-

    Did Hopkirk really gave u permission for this ?

    Assuming one question have 10 answers and about 15 people answered (which is much more) one answer each (which is too common) there will be around 6-7 answers with 0 points and 1 question with above 8-10 points...

    I just tried asking a simple question in Tohjo Falls... The number of players replying to me were 2... What will you do for that ?

    And according to your last comment, it says people averagely produce 20 answers is a lot lot lot big big Hyperbole... Why would people be interested to give so many answers for 1 question... I myself would only say 2/3 answers... I don't expect anymore than 6 per person... What would you do if it happens ?

    Also if they are giving 20 answers per question, are you assuming to give questions which have 50 answers ? Even if you are giving so many answers question, it is easy for participants to give 0 point answers by just googling it... What will you do then ?

    I will admit that is a huge problem. Although the participant has no clue how many people have answered the question :wink:. Anyway, as my nursery school teacher always said, if you cheat you are only cheating yourself!

    Also keep in mind that I am also asking people I know in real life, such as family and people from school. If only 2 people agree on PO then I still have all these backup people.

    People in real life are definitely more likely to give more answers so only a fraction of the people asked are actually on PO.

    I like watching Pointless but I have no idea how it will work out as an online game where you can look up answers, but I'll give it a go

    Also, cheating is an unstoppable thing for all forum games. People could team up and collaborate in Sheep or Mafia but there is no way that the host can see that.

    Does that stop people from collaborating?
    I'm sure people still do it

    Well, possible combinations include:
    MeowMix + Latimaster
    MeowMix + TraceofLife
    MeowMix + Ortheore
    Latimaster + TraceofLife
    Latimaster + Ortheore
    TraceofLife + Ortheore.

    But hey, that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY!

    Set 1 Answer 4: Meowmix and Latimaster have same answer while Ortheore have different answer...
    Set 1 Answer 5: Meowmix, Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...
    Set 1 Answer 6: Meowmix, Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...

    Meowmix gave up after Set 1...

    Set 2 Answer 1: Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...
    Set 2 Answer 2: Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...

    Set 5 Answer 5: Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...
    Set 5 Answer 6: Latimaster and Ortheore have different answers...

    Ortheore gave up after Set 5...

    Now tell me where did they collaborate ? That random answers I missed in between were coincidence or collaborate ?
    There is no one who cheated in game and I have stats of it... Learn to believe people...

    Ok, I just picked out some Johns (I associate johns with bad players because reasons). Mabye it would be better to replace TraceofLife with Fiery Espeon (I can't find the sheep game you hosted and johned but I know it exists). Ortheore is a good player I guess. Latimaster is...well...Latimaster. But honestly MeowMix is the biggest john in the history of johns.
    Anyway it was a huge mistake on my part and I just picked out some common players.

    PLS NO-ONE JOHN THIS GAME

    Signups seem to be getting slower.........
    I guess all the Forum Games players have signed up except MeowMix but that's a good thing because now I know that this game won't definitely be johned

    ?!

    anyway, my point is that most people are decent enough to respect your wishes if you actually tell them (on this forum in a moderated fashion)

    yeah js I don't think I've ever collaborated for sheep even if it was allowed, except by posting in thread (though I have occasionally made jokes that could come across as "collaborating")

    Yes. I do not happen to be MeowMix or Fiery Espeon.

    Also, I would recommend some cough medicine for Pangaea. Is it a chesty or dry cough?
