How about reviving the quiz game? I thought that perhaps instead of just having one quizer, all participants in a given week could send in questions. There could then be an alternating position as judge to whom the questions and answers could be sent. To make the questions interesting, one could make some rule that made the asker get 0.5 points for every participant, but only if 1 fourth of all participants could answer. This would encourage questions that would be in a good range of difficulty, I believe (exact numbers can of course be tweaked).

[Kalah]

Sure, you do that. I'm not up for doing all the work

[Gaidal Cain]

Shouldn't you close down a game first then?

[Kalah]

I get to close one? Yippeeeee!!!

No, actually, since the Auction is nearing completion, a slot is opening up. Go right ahead.

[Kalah]

Right... there are several games running at the moment, yet I have decided to allow for one more. The "cooking game" is set to run for one month from today, after which I will decide whether it's a keeper or not. The game will be terminated if, during this trial period either of the following should happen:

- the game does not attract players enough to keep it alive... meaning it should entertain more than fjust a few people
- the thread is cluttered with off-topic spam

[DaemianLucifer]

Instead of competing against each other,why not have a game where others will compete and we will just cheer?Did I confuse you?Good Now read on.

We pit HV heroes(it could be anyone else really,but this Im using current events )against each other.Each day,a person is allowed to hurt one hero for 10 hit points and heal another for 5 hit points.The game ends when either all but one hero is eliminated,or when one hero reaches the double of starting hitpoints.Now,the original game I ripped(Im a copycat,so sue me.If you find a lawyer willing to aid you,that is )gives everyone a start of 100 hitpoints,but considering how many heroes there are,we should start with 50 hitpoints.

So,what do you guys think?

[Gaidal Cain]

So,what do you guys think?

I think you read too much IW. And that game is mostly pure spam.

[DaemianLucifer]

And what game here isnt? Besides,thats not the only game I could propose.There are a few soccer ones if you want

[asandir]

It doesn't inspire me, I hate to say DL

[asandir]

well the quiz game is slowly getting off the ground now, and the cooking game continues, but is still in a trial period

[Kalah]

For Christmas, a new RotC type game has been opened - it is called the Christmas One-Word Story. It will be closed after the Holidays, I'll give some advance warning, but until then it's all systems go and spam away at your heart's content.

[asandir]

Now there's an invitation Use it all, it doesn't come around often!

[theLuckyDragon]

So is Caladont closed for ever and ever? Or will it be revived after the holidays?

[Gaidal Cain]

Not sure. I think it's past it's prime, since most people probably have figured out to use onlinbe dictionaries. I think it might be time for another game.

[Kalah]

Yeah, sounds about right. Much of the fun is gone with the introduction of online dictionaries. We have some games running now, so we'll see about new games after the Holidays.

[theLuckyDragon]

So the moral of the story is: now we've all learned how to use online dictionaries?

[Kalah]

Nah, the moral is that games to which the answers exist on the internet are not playable on the same internet...

Yeah, yeah, I know you got it, but I just had to clarify... (i.e. get the last word in)

[theLuckyDragon]

...are not playable on the same internet...

So the moral of the moral is: we need another Internet?

I also had to clarify...
