northernwarg Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am in my usual post post paranoia stage of wondering why I thought THAT was good/reasonable/appropriate/clever. I have to resist pm'ing DG, I have to resist, I have to resist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofless Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm not so curious as to whether I win or lose (I know the answer to that already), but am really interested to find out what the hell that theme was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmit Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I think I won't receive too many points for others guessing my entry. I think it was to hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Still waiting on two sets of answers to the round 1 clues. Edit: I'm going to start counting up points as it's going to take me a while, so I hope everyone is happy with their answers and I hope the two players I'm waiting for can send me their answers before the end of this morning.

Reek Havoc Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm not so curious as to whether I win or lose (I know the answer to that already), but am really interested to find out what the hell that theme was! I found a theme that fit all of my answers (pretty sure it did, anyway) but somehow I doubt it was the theme DG was going for... but then of course, there's no guaranteeing that all my answers were correct, either, so there's that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomi Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing if people easily guess your clue. If everybody guesses your clue correctly but no other clue gets solved, you get 15 points, everyone else gets 2 points and you win :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm making my clue for round 2 very easy. My first one was at moderate difficulty, I think. By the way, the only clue I have totally no idea about is #1. Ironically, it's the only clue I made an author guess for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Still not heard anything from the two players who haven't submitted answers. Sorry for the delay. I'm not really sure what to do as I made it fairly clear to be done by the end of Monday, but I wouldn't like to go ahead in case they are just suffering internet problems or something. For the record, yomi is right. There isn't one specific way to play the game. The player leading the pack after round 1 will be one who has got the vast majority of the clues right, got the theme and been the author of one of the the easiest clues, because those one-pointers for authors are what will separate those who got the theme and almost all the clues. Edit - the reasoning behind not making the clue too easy is to help prevent too many people from getting the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what to do as I made it fairly clear to be done by the end of Monday, but I wouldn't like to go ahead in case they are just suffering internet problems or something. Yeah, tough choice. We've had quite awhile so they should have been able to get answers in... but they did submit clues so it's not like they were completely uninterested. So the question is why no answer? Hiccup or lazy?I'm an auditor by trade, so I like compliance. I'm not a good person to ask for that reason... but if anyone asked, I'd say give them a bit longer and then move on to round two with other volunteers in their spot, (barring a good explanation via DM), if anyone wants in a round late - or with 14 people instead, if nobody else seems interested. Problem in my world is that late tends to suggest will always be late... but again, that's because I'm and auditor (and a cynic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about this round, but in future rounds I think there should be a penalty for being late. A point an hour. But then I'm rather Draconian. ETA Lose a point an hour up to six hours and then publish and be damned. In this particular case, I, personally, would only wait 12 hours past the deadline. Yes! I AM Stannis in disguise!

Dolorous Gabe Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm out later from about 7pm GMT. I'll give them until midnight GMT. If they get their answers in by 6pm GMT I'll publish results. If not, I'll publish results at midnight, with or without the awaited answers. Hope this is acceptable. In the meantime, you can at least be working on your clue for the next round. UPDATE - one set of answers left. One player had browser problems. UPDATE - it's going to be later on tonight.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't like the idea of an outright penalty for being late (sometimes there are very good reasons) but I do think it would be fair to do what we have done in Acrophobia and give everyone who was on time an extra point. Been working on round two and finding it slightly less difficult than round one thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
