Bustard Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello all :) I've been a long time fan of the Top 20 guessing games where everybody submits a list and the host tallies it up/provides clues each round. I actually hosted 'Most Dangerous Character' back when my username was Captain_Falcon (which I mysteriously lost access to :dunno: ). We just finished "Best Sigil" (courtesy of Lyanna<3Rhaegar :cheers: ), and the time to choose another game is upon us. There's been some disagreement about the next topic, so I thought I'd introduce a new format altogether. This way we can accommodate more than one idea without having two of the same game running at once. My proposal is a tad simpler than the original version and will take less time to complete. To start, everybody sends in their lists as they normally would and the host will tally up the results. Here's where it starts to change: Round 1:Instead of providing a clue, the host will begin by offering the names of #21-#30 in alphabetical order. At this point, participants will submit what they believe to be the most likely order. For every correct guess, the participants receives 5 points. For every guess that is off by 1, the participant receives 3 points. For every guess that is off by 2, the participant receives 1 point. Round 2:When the first round of guessing is complete, the host will reveal #11-#20 in the same fashion. However, the point values double for guessing. --> 10 points for a correct guess; 6 points for 1 off; and 2 points for 2 off. Round 3 (Final Round):Again, the host will reveal #1-#10 in alphabetical order. The point values do NOT double, but increase by the same increment. --> 15 points for a correct guess; 9 points for 1 off; 3 points for 2 off. As you might expect, the participant with the most total points will be crowned a champion! I'm happy to host if the idea garners enough support! :) I wanted to kick this off with something relatively simply: Favorite Westerosi Houses. PM me your list if you would like to play! The lists should consist of 20 houses even though the guessing begins at #30. I plan to reveal #21-#30 on Wednesday September 3rd at 8:00pm ET (one week from today).

Bustard Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Houses of all sizes qualify, as well as historical houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd rather we stick to the format we have now but if everyone is on board, I'd try the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustard Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd rather we stick to the format we have now but if everyone is on board, I'd try the new one. I definitely want to stick to the format we have now. I just meant as a separate game entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think that this is a bit complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't mind trying one but actually I like the week by week suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna<3Rhaegar Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I would love to give this a go! I get antsy waiting & would like to play 2 games at once. I think this is actually a bit less complicated than the regular GG & even if all the regular GG players didn't want to participate I bet you could get enough support to play if we passed the word around a bit before starting :)It's almost like 3 rounds of the final 5 only with more than 5. (I know we aren't usually given the answers but by the final 5 most people have a pretty good idea of what they are.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna<3Rhaegar Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 List coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustard Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks for the feedback everybody! I promise I won't take it to heart if you decide not to play :) As long as I receive enough lists (2 and counting...), I'll give it a whirl. I'm going to post a demonstration in a little while to clear up any confusion. I think it sounds more complex than it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil' ghost Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 list sent! but, I'll admit it's not much of an order of favorite expect for my top 5, kinda hard to decided where to keep placing houses, so I'm just sending what I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
