baumer Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) There's 6 weeks left in the game. A lot can change and there is a lot of scoring to be done in the next few days. Here is perhaps my greatest creation. It's a way for you to say FUCK YOU to those ahead of you. The catch is this feature is only open to those in the top 12 spots. Here's how it works. Starting next week, anyone who is in the top 12 can call out another player in the top 12. They will call them out with a series of challenges. The challenges are three fold. 1) 7 questions, similar to and in the vein of, regular weekly questions (in other words, no chicanery, the questions must be legit) A SOTM question, anything, of your choice, within the spirit of the game and C) a three part "preseason" type question. For example, check out question 17 and 18 in the preseason for example. Once a player calls out another player, that player has no choice but to accept the challenge. In order for the player being called out to be successful, he/she must get 5 of the weekly questions right, must get the SOTM question right and must get 2 of the 3 preseason questions right. If the player does get these questions right, they are awarded 25,000 points. If the player being called out doesn't succeed, not only does he lose 25,000 points, but the player who called him out gains 25,000 points. HOWEVER, if the player is called out and he is successful, not only is he rewarded the 25,000 points, the player who called him out loses 50,000 points. Here are the stipulations: Only players in the top 12 can participate in this. A player can only be called out once. and only once If you want to call a player out, you must do so publicly, in the main thread. If more than one person calls out the same player, the higher ranked player is given the right of way. This has obviously never been done before and I can't guarantee it will be done again. I don't even know if this will go over well or not. But this is to introduce a little chaos into the game. And you know what they say about chaos, don't you. Once you have been called out, you can never be called out again. But as long as you are in the top 12, regardless if you fall out and come back in, you can continue calling out people. Now keep in mind, you the individual are responsible for creating your own questions. And they must be approved by me. I won't allow stupid and unfair questions like (for example) "How much will Begin Again gross in Qatar this weekend?" These questions must be in the spirit of the game. Ok, let the fucking begin!! Rankings will change tonight, but as a point of reference, here are the standings as of tonight: 1) Tele: 290,0001=) cjohn: 290,0001=) Cedar:290,0004) jakegittes: 289,0005) dipper: 288,0006) Fern 280,000: 6=) Alfredstellar: 280,000 8) tylerdurden: 272,0009) Narnia 270,00010) Blankments: 264,00011) Simionski 259,00012) Cmaster255,000 13) Iceroll: 248,000 14) mattrek: 247,00015) Olive: 244,00016) druv: 243,000 17) LAguy 237,00018) Ed 233,00019) Chasmmi 231,00020) Johnny 229,00021) darkelf: 228,00022) 24IsLost 227,00023) clairehol7: 224,00023=) Panda 224,00025) Baumer 220.00025=) Chewy 220,00027) movieman 210,00028) DAR 208,00029) Grim22 205,00029=) Numbers 205,00031) Jajang 201,00032) punishment: 199,00033) JOS 196,00034) Moviegeek: 195,000 35) Empire: 192,00035=) junkshop: 192,00037) Gizmo 188,00038) Mulder 184,00039) Kitik: 181,00040) damienroc: 177,00041) Glassfairy 175,00042) Stingray 161,00043) Za Rukaio 160.00044) bcf26: 158,00045) MeanGirlsFilms 156,00046) grey ghost 150,00047) MGS 144,00048) Winter Soldier 137,00049) Spaghetti 132,00050) Schumacher 106,00051) Andy LL 89,00052=) Jandrew 68,00053=) Gokai Red 68,00054) mahnamahna 61,00055) filmovie: 56,00056) Jay Hollywood: 52,00057=) Kayumanggi 3,00057=) RhyneOH1040 3,00057=) Vanauger 3,00060) nerdygeek: -1,00061) goffe: -31,00062) Neo -43,000 Edited July 23, 2014 by baumer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
