CURRENTLY SEEKING VIEWER QUESTIONS IN THE CATEGORIES OF:
General Knowledge (always open for submissions in this category)
80s Television
PM your questions to me if you have 'em.
Original post:
If the interest is there, I'd like to try doing a game that I believe hasn't been done on either this board or the old stomping grounds at BigJon's website. It's a British import - it's The People Versus, the game where you, the Net Game Central public, try to stump our contestants in the virtual studio so you can take home the money instead of the contestants. We'd be basing it on the daytime version of the program - here's a link so you can get an idea of what's going on:
The People Versus, 2001ish
The few changes I would make from that version:
-The time limits are gone (aside from a 24 hour shot clock we'd adhere to for each question throughout).
-Also, the Bong Game is gone (it really doesn't suit the format) - if a player whiffs at any point, they'll take home half of the previous round's value, and the questioner gets the other half.
-We'd also tinker the money tree (my current thought is something like $500-$1,000-$2,000-$4,000-$10,000).
The questions I have for you all:
1) Would there be any interest in this?
2) Any suggestions or comments as the game itself is concerned?
Also, would any of you want to play, and if so, what would you want as a swap-out subject? (Please PM me if you are interested - the public will also set the questions on your swap-out subject, and I'd like the contestants to remain anonymous so the questions sent in are directed with the category in mind more than the contestants.) If (and hopefully when) we get any prospective contestants, I'll post specialist categories we'd like questions for in this thread.
If you have ideas for questions in general, please feel free to send them my way. Owing to midterms this week, we'll be aiming for early next week as a start date.
