chasmmi Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 NEW THING ALERT!!! NEW THING ALERT!!! Not quite an SOTM, but also not quite a preseason. This is a little bit like the old Who wants to be a Millionaire SOTM of the past but it runs every week. It is one thread. One question per week and a simple Yes/No or Over/Under question. e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 makes $100M Over / Under? Players post in this thread their prediction and the thread is locked over the weekend. Players who are correct win 15,000 points and move on to the next question. (They will get progressively harder, theoretically). If you get a question wrong you are out and lose half of the points that you have accumulated over the course of the challenge. If you do not feel confident one a question, you can cash out at anytime, taking all the points you have earned to that point and end your involvement in the question. Players will be given two chances to PASS. A pass means that they can move on to the next question but will not be credited with any extra money until they get another question correct. If they cash out or get a question wrong after a pass - the value is equal to that of the last question answered correctly, NOT the question reached. If a player fails to post an answer before the deadline, they automatically use a PASS. If they do not have a PASS they will be automatically cashed out, but will lose 20% of what they made. The challenge continues either until all players are cashed out or eliminated or the Summer Game ends. There is potential to win 285,000 points in this challenge if you answer every question correctly with no passes. If a player somehow manages this, it will get boosted up to 300,000 but do not expect this to happen. Current Status after Week 2: Red = You are out and that is your final score (either wrong answer, or cashed out) Green = Still in and have 2 passes left Blue = Still in and have 1 pass left Purple = Still in but with Zero passes left 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question is its own question, all points won and lost relate to this only nothing outside of this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the advantage of not letting people go back and edit their responses "Are you SURE you had GotG 2 UNDER $125M originally???". Keeping everyone's responses in a single post would certainly be easier to track. I guess it depends on the record-keeping systems you guys have going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the worry, I will however update post one with a running score of everyone in game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
