WHAT IS THIS TREACHERY ? I DEMAND A NEW ADMIN TO CREATE THE QUESTIONS.

No, willeponken knows that I won't give him all the answers and if not I won't. In this elimination round everyone has an equal chance of winning (though it depends on how much they know).
But I will talk to Jules who will help me and we'll put it together as soon as possible!

[The King]

RedY is a admin :>

not sure if serious

[SliZe]

not sure if serious

Just noticed that I missread what Ash said...

[Jules]

and how does he know what the elimination questions are?

I make the questions with redy. Haven't made them yet, so there is no way he knows the answers

Congratulations to the winners

Didn't say he knows the answers, just the questions.

[Redy]

Didn't say he knows the answers, just the questions.

Don't you worry Ash, no one except me and Jules will know the questions until the elimination rounds are started.

[Jules]

Ash, we haven't made the questions yet, how can he possibly know them?

We'll do sthg where everyone has the same chance of winning. Fairness is our first rule. Challenge is our second one...

was going by this

Aaaaawwwww yyyeeeaaaaahhh! Gotta read something on Wikipedia for the elimination :3

If I understand him correctly he's going to read about stuff on Wikipedia for the elimination questions.

No, willeponken knows that I won't give him all the answers and if not I won't. In this elimination round everyone has an equal chance of winning (though it depends on how much they know).
But I will talk to Jules who will help me and we'll put it together as soon as possible!

Looks as if he was Wikipedia'ering stuff for the upcoming questions.

[Jules]

upcoming :>


I haven't even begun to think about them, dunno about redy... Don't worry, you'll have as much chance of winning as him

Ash, we haven't made the questions yet, how can he possibly know them?

Ooohh you... I got My ways

@Ash you are paranoid, you should be a detective!

Rules for the semi-finals/Finals

So here is what will happen.
Both semi-finals will be held simultaneously, by both Redy and me. You will be asked a serie of 11 questions, so anyone reaching 6 good answers wins.

1. You need to write the first letter of your username to be able to tell your answer.
2. If you give the wrong answer, the other person may still answer the question.
3. After the question has been asked you have 10 seconds to "take the floor" and then you have 7 seconds to answer the question.
4. You can use whatever you deem necessary to find the answers.


After a fairly random choice (really did the random thing), the semi-finals will be held as such:

Supervisor: Jules
Willeponken Vs Zombie

Supervisor: Redy
Ash Vs CaZlo

You've all been sent a PM with the date proposition, make sure to check it!

Edit: we tried to make it the fairest possible, random choices, same questions to all semi-finals...

[Ansceniiiic]

Not trying to sound like a moaning cunt, but 7 seconds to answer a question? That's a tad short is it not?

[Redy]

Not trying to sound like a moaning cunt, but 7 seconds to answer a question? That's a tad short is it not?

1. It's rather short answers.
2. We were struggling about 5 sec or 10 sec but to avoid "abusing" we set it on 7 sec.

[Ansceniiiic]

Short answers as in Yes/No?

[Redy]

Short answers as in Yes/No?

Not that short, but Jules and I have decided that we'll test with 7 seconds. If it's too short we'll change it to 10 seconds

[Jules]

The answers will be short, for almost all questions one word or 2 will be enough.

It's a short time, we know it. But it's to prevent the abuse... Like if none has proposed an answer before 10sec, one takes the floor at 10 sec and he still has 10 sec more to think...


We'll see if in the semi-finals you struggle with 7, we'll put back 10, don't worry we won't be that mean

[Ansceniiiic]

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

[Redy]

Bump! All participants, please check your PM's if you haven't done that yet.

And please check the date, even if it's late and you know you can't participate, tell us!

[Jules]

Spoiler

Wille said Killercreation, Ash gave the correct answer,
Ash: 4

Was a good little quiz, though wille won, ash was a worthy opponent, as he was playing while answering, and using only his brain to find the answers. Wille was pretty fast, and a little more accurate regarding the answers.
Fiinal score: Ash: 4 // Wille: 6
