Whatever Happened to Baby Game?

Post by Hostrauser » Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:50 pm

Hostrauser's Trivia had its final round in August of 2007, ending an eight-month run. Last year we also had a highly successful "Name That City" game.

I'm thinking of combining the two in a new game starting in February. Have we had enough time off from the games to encourage participation in a new one?

Alright, I'll start assembling "clues" when I get back from Wisconsin. Further details will be announced next week.

I don't understand why you would even vote no. They should just never enter the trivia thread once it's created.

Hostrauser wanted to know if individuals would want to play. Having yes and no votes gives him an accurate spread of how many people would play if the game was created.

Correct.

Okay, here's the basics for how the game will go...

Each question will fall into one of three categories: Name that City, Name that State/Province (US/Canada), or Name that Country. Each picture will be accompanied by a slight clue that will let you know which I'm looking for. Each picture will remain up for a minimum of 12 hours. There will be one post per day, which will occur at random times. I'm thinking 50 points per question, with minor bonuses for the first and second correct answers. The round will consist of 24 questions (at this time).

The first round is expected to begin Friday, February 1st.

More details to follow...
