Family Feud!

[Idle Thoughts]

Yeah, I know there has been some past games on this. I've not read them. I don't know how they worked and really, I bet they were fun and really good but I've always had my own idea for how to run this game online. :)

First off, here are the players and the two teams:

Red Team

What Exit?
Zeldar
Struan
LilyoftheValley
Kat
hocow
myskepticsight
frog princess
ArizonaTeach
Rodgers01
IvoryTowerDenizen
Ruby


Blue Team

ZipperJJ
Frosted Glass
Secret Volcano Lair
Sternvogel
Taber
Abby_Emma_Sasha
twickster
Avarie537
Pygmy Rugger
cmkeller
JpnDude
MadTheSwine


Here's how it will work. I'll start a category and list all of the top answers I know or can think of. Yes, that's the one catch.. it will be purely my answers you have to depend on to be there or not be there. However, I've done this on a few other boards and a few other times and I'm fairly faithful in my ability to put the most popular answers up. But isn't that what this game is about? Not really what you think should be up there, but trying, more or less, to guess what the people said and the majority of popular answers were.

In this game the majority will be one. Myself. However I'm going to shy away from personal opinion questions and stick mostly with factual based categories, just with a LOT of possible answers.


And this is another thing that you may find differnet a bit. Each category will have a LOT of answers, since there's a lot of people playing. Expect categories to have anywhere from 8 to 20 (or more) on the list. I figure we'll start off easy and with a few until people get a feel of the version I'm running, and then get into categories that have many, many, many possible and popular answers that will be on "the list".


And now, some game ground rules.

Your team will then take turns guessing answers and seeing if they're on the list (if it's your team's turn to guess, that is).


How we know who's teams turn it is to guess, it's whoever from either team gets the first answer on the list at all. THEN, that team member can choose for their team to "Play" or "Pass".

Both have advantages and disadvantages. If your team chooses to play, well, then obviously if your team is smart enough they could name all the answers.

However once a team says 3 answers that are not up on the board, the other team will have a chance to only guess ONE answer up on the board and take the score away. So see, Passing works too if you think the category is hard and that one team wouldn't be able to name all the answers.



Not many rules other than that. Just a few more little ones.

Most important: Remember, there will probably be answers you'll say, that COULD go on the list but that might not be there. If this happens, please don't yell at me or have a cow or get too disgruntled or start posting cites all over the place. Not ALL of the answers will be on the list. Only some. The POINT of the game is to try to guess what answers ARE the ones that I put up there. So be understanding. All in all, try to remember it's just a fun game and enjoy just playing.


And the other rule is..every member of your team will have a turn at guessing. Once a team member has guessed, they won't be able to again until we've gone through all of the others on the team.

That's it.

Let's try this version out, shall we?

Scoring.

Here's how the scoring will go:

For every answer said, that's one point for a team. One point they'll get to keep no matter what. If one team gets ALL the answers, that's 10 extra points for their team (added on to the points they got singly). If a team steals, and just supplies any ONE answer on the board, that will be 10 automatic points for their team.

I figure the first team to 100 posts wins.

Lastly, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them in here. :)


Anyway, let's start with our first category. Remember that anyone from either team can get in first with an answer and they then may choose their team to pass or play. I've decided to nix the "But if someone from the other team can give an answer that is closer to number one on the list, they take control" addition because, personally, I think that would only further cause disagreement in what should be a "more popular" answer then another. Especially since it's only me deciding. :p


First category:

Other then the domesticated housecat, name a member of the cat family.

Blue team takes control. Now, MadTheSwine, do you wish for your team to play or pass?

[MadTheSwine]

Now I pick a teammate right?(Assuming I am right)

[Idle Thoughts]

No, you just decide if you want your team (the Blue Team) to pass or play. That's all. :)

[MadTheSwine]

VE vill play


GO BLUE!!!

(shameless MICHIGAN plug)

[Idle Thoughts]

Hahah.

Okay then, Blue Team is up.

Here are the people who may give an answer/guess whenever they want/whenever they're on: ZipperJJ
Frosted Glass, Secret Volcano Lair, Sternvogel, Taber, Abby_Emma_Sasha, twickster, Avarie537, Pygmy Rugger, cmkeller, JpnDude, MadTheSwine

Note, MadTheSwine, you may not guess again until all of your teamates have guessed and it rotates back to you. If and when this happens, you'll be on the list again. :)

[Taber]

I'll say Tiger

(the next person had better not say bears)

watermelon

[Idle Thoughts]

I'm sorry, I meant a fruit whose SKIN/OUTSIDE color is usually red.
So I won't take a strike off this time for that since I didn't mention that specifically in the initial question, but you'll have to wait until the rotation goes around again before you can give another guess.

[Idle Thoughts]

:eek:

One more strike. Red Team start thinking.

JpnDude is the only team member who can give an answer now, however once he does, everyone on the Blue Team may give answers again.

[Baron Greenback]

I think I've broken my F5 button!

[Frosted Glass]

JpnDude's got this one, the dramatic pause is for a word from our sponsors.

[gigi]

I guess I know who the popular people are.

[JpnDude]

Sorry for being so late, this is exciting!

Since I am in Asia, I'll say PITAYA.

Crossing fingers!

[LilyoftheValley]

How long does our team get to discuss if we actually get a turn?

Not that I think the answers in my head are better than "pitaya", but...ok, yes I do! ;)

[Idle Thoughts]

XXX.

Sorry, Dude, heh.

Okay. It is now your team's turn. Anyone from Red may have a guess. If anyone from that team can get one of the last two remaining answers, you'll get 11 points.

You all (Red Team) may PM each other and discuss as much as you want.

This game, in case you haven't realized by now (hahahahaha), is a play at your own pace type of game. Not one played and having a million answers in one day. It's sorta like Chess by mail. :p

A game to last a good long while to take your attention when you come here.

[Baron Greenback]

I'm going to guess peach.

[twickster]

**starts finger-pointing and chortling amongst Blue Team**

[What Exit?]

I PM'd everyone Red Teamer that has PM on.
Several suggestions, Idle, how many guesses do we get? What controls are official guess?

ArizonaTeach has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

[hocow]

Mango

Thanks for the PM! I just put this here without further discussion because I thought of mango yesterday and it matches one you sent. Plus, I didn't know how many guesses we get and one was already thrown out there so I figured it wouldn't hurt. :)

[myskepticsight]

Whoops had no idea I didn't have PMs enabled. Fixed that, but my team already guessed.

[Santo Rugger]

Abby_Emma_Sasha, Secret Volcano Lair, can you guys turn your PMs on? Please and thank you.

[ArizonaTeach]

ArizonaTeach has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

Eep...fixed.

[ArizonaTeach]

No, grape...GRAPE!!!

Can't we discuss this here to get consensus? PMing between 10 people seems like a real bear.

[frog princess]

I was also thinking grape.

[What Exit?]

No, grape...GRAPE!!!

Can't we discuss this here to get consensus? PMing between 10 people seems like a real bear.
Seems like we should be allowed to discuss:
My suggestions were:
Tomato
Plums
Mango

to go along with Struan's Peach and now two for Grape.

We have 10 players I think.
Votes so far:
2 for Grape
1 for Peach
1 for Mango

Known Wrong Answers:
Prickly pear
PITAYA
Guava

Can Gigi join the Red Team as we have a vacancy and if she is interested and she turns on PM?

Add me in for red grapes!!

My second choices were lychee fruit and red currants. But now that you mention it, plum's not a bad guess either.

[Idle Thoughts]

Yeah, you all can have a vote or/and discussion before giving any actual answer. But not for very long. You all lucked out because of the night. :p

Only about half an hour more. Then I'm just going to have to take what the most have said.

[Baron Greenback]

Well, seeing as my peach strategy appears unpopular/misguided/subject to location , I'll put another vote in for red grapes.

[What Exit?]

Well, seeing as my peach strategy appears unpopular/misguided/subject to location , I'll put another vote in for red grapes.
Let's get this over with. Put me in for Grapes. That will give us 5 out of an eleven person team.

I hesitate to make a change in rules now that I've started the game but I think I may have miscalulated scoring.

I think it would be better if, if a team steals, to give them not only 11 points (10 for the steal and 1 for the correct answer) but also the amount of answers that were NOT given/that are still blank/unguessed.

What does everyone think?

Either that, or 1/2 the ammount of points the first team got, plus 10 for the steal, whichever is greater. In this example, if we get 22 of them, and they steal the last one, they should get 21 points. Just a thought, but I'm cool with either way.

[Taber]

If we decide to change the rules, I'd suggest that we start the change on the next round, so that anyone picking play/pass knows the rules they will be playing under.

[twickster]

If we decide to change the rules, I'd suggest that we start the change on the next round, so that anyone picking play/pass knows the rules they will be playing under.
Yeah, agree with that (esp. since I'm the one who got Blue into this morass).

The "stealing team gets all the points" rule is the one the original show used, so I'm okay with changing the rule with the next round, though.

[Baron Greenback]

If we decide to change the rules, I'd suggest that we start the change on the next round, so that anyone picking play/pass knows the rules they will be playing under.

That's a fair and equitable way to do it.

Hello folks,

It's only just begun but I must call it quits for now.

A business emergency sent me to Vietnam for a few days since last Tuesday afternoon (Japan time). This is the first time I've had access to the SMDB since then. I apologize for holding my BLUE team and everyone else up in the process. I'd love to participate more but my current situation limits my "free online" time. I hope everyone understands.

I'd like to thank Idle Thoughts for running the game and twickster for the PM notice. Good luck everyone and know that I'll be cheering with a "Good Answer! Good Answer!" for all. I'll be back to my normal lurking self from Japan in a few days. In the meantime, GO BLUE!

No prob, JpnDude. This game will probably go on for a while so come back when you can.

[twickster]

Hope everything is okay, JpnDude. Since the other team lost a player too, it's okay -- I'm guessing Idle Thoughts will let you rejoin the team upon your return, but until then, we'll continue with our juggernaut -- by saying, for instance:

Night of the Living Dead.

[Avarie537]

Chucky (you know - that evil doll)

[Secret Volcano Lair]

Final Destination

[Sternvogel]

The Amityville Horror

[twickster]

Where's Idle Thoughts?

[myskepticsight]

If the Red Team actually gets a turn, I will be away from the Dope this weekend. Going to another college for their crazy St. Patrick's day festivities. Should be back Sunday if I make it out alive.

[Idle Thoughts]

Course I'll let him come back to the game. :)

And no problem, myskepticsight!

Everybody knows Child's Play and Chucky are two different movies. Three or more, actually, or neither of them would qualify as answers. ;)

That's three. The first strike, actually, was The Addams Family.

Red team, just give one of the two answers left and you successfully steal. You may all discuss it a bit, vote, etc, what have you.




And reminder to both teams, next round I'll be putting in the change of scoring that most seemed to think was fair and better.

[What Exit?]

Some Suggestions:

King Kong
Godzilla
American Werewolf In London, An
Creepshow
The Fly

My top Choice is:
The Howling

[ArizonaTeach]

Ohhh...I like The Howling,

Well, not, you know, as a movie...

[Kat]

I'm not really a horror movie fan. Most of the ones I know of are already on the list. My only suggestion is Scary Movie.

[hocow]

I was thinking The Ring, Blair Witch, and one more I'm blanking on right now..

[Baron Greenback]

I like The Howling as well. (Not a bad movie at all, I thought),.

[IvoryTowerDenizen]

I was thinking The Ring, Blair Witch, and one more I'm blanking on right now..


I vote for The Ring

[What Exit?]

I vote for The Ring
So far:
3 for Howling
2 for the Ring
1 for Scary Movie

Hopefully we get a few more votes before our host wants the final answer.
I think the first two are both good choices. Scary Movie might not count as it is a pure parody, no real horror if I recall correctly.

Jim

[Baron Greenback]

Isn't there only one Ring sequel? Or can we count the Japanese original?

What about Predator?

[LilyoftheValley]

I know nothing about horror movies, so I'll abstain.

[Idle Thoughts]

Well, I figure I'll give it another hour or two, then I'll go with what has the most votes.

[frog princess]

I know nothing about horror movies, so I'll abstain.
Me too.

[Idle Thoughts]

Geez, heh. I thought there'd be a definintive answer or something from someone like "Yup, that's what we'll go with then".

Anyway, since there appears there won't be, I'll just take the one with most votes then.

The Howling.

Update of the scores and next category will come tomorrow when I get on (that will probably be sometime in the afternoon). For tonight, it's breaktime (intermission?) so people won't have to worry about being on or active.

[ArizonaTeach]

Woo hoo! I bow to What Exit? for providing the answer. And me for being the first to see the wisdom in that answer. Maybe this time we'll get first crack....

[JpnDude]

Hello everyone. I'm back in Tokyo. Sorry to my Blue Team and everyone else for holding up the game and coming up with a lousy answer (RE: pitaya). Also, thanks to all for the nice PM's and posts.

Now, back to the game. If possible, I'd like to join the Blue Team again. I hope it is OK with Idle Thoughts and everyone else. If not, I understand and no hard feelings. I'll just watch and cheer from the studio audience. :D

Idle Thoughts, you'd better get in here, we're so excited to keep playing, we're starting to play Jeopardy without you! ;)

[Baron Greenback]

This game is far too slow.

[twickster]

If he doesn't come back, I could come up with a question in the meantime. (Obviously, I'd sit out that round as a blue-player.)

[Idle Thoughts]

Great. Now I'm the one busy. Sorry players. : / Just have a lot of work and stuff this week. So I guess I won't put you all through having to check this game any longer daily. I release you all from your teams.

Unless, of course, you all want to wait a week. But I'll probably just start up a new one then. Or bump this up and see who is still not minding playing.

Sorry so much for the delay and the, now, busy-ness. If anyone wants to quit or can't do it come another week, that's fine.

[Santo Rugger]

twickster, do you want to start the next one, and somebody from the red team can start the following one to finish this one up? And we'll all start anew when Idle Thoughts is available?

[twickster]

Yeah, if that's okay with everyone, I'll be glad to do the next question. I've got a good one in mind, but want to work on my list a little.

I'll be ready to do the toss-up sometime between 11 and 12 Eastern time today.

[Avarie537]

I'll be around - I'm still interested.

[Baron Greenback]

Yeah, if that's okay with everyone, I'll be glad to do the next question. I've got a good one in mind, but want to work on my list a little.

Blue takes it.

Play or pass? You may want to discuss this -- remember that we're playing under the revised rules, where if the team that plays strikes out and the other team steals, the other team gets all the points that have been accrued.

Note on answers:

Job titles are a little goofy -- so I have bunched some together as "variations on a theme." If you guess one of those, I'll specify that "this includes x, y, and z" when I post the answer.

If you're not sure if an answer you're thinking of would be included in an answer already given -- ask, don't guess. If you ask, I'll clarify -- if you guess and it is included, it will be a strike.

Note on what "professions involving water" might include: they do not include:

Jobs where you need water to mix or create something you use to perform the job. (For instance -- you need water to make concrete, but "mason" isn't a job that involves water.)
Jobs where you wash your hands a lot, but said washing is incidental to the actual job. (For instance -- child care worker.)
Jobs where you'd get really, really thirsty so you'd drink a lot of water. (For instance, laying railroad tracks across a barren waste of desert.)

General note:

The decisions of the judge are final. :D


So -- Blue -- play or pass?

[Avarie537]

I vote for play.

[JpnDude]

WOW, higher answer so far! YAY!

I'm with Avarie537...PLAY!

So, would, say, a fireman be in the same class as "mason", as they use it to perform their job duties? Can you please clarify just a bit?
A mason uses water to create some material needed for the job (indirect use of water).

A firefighter uses water to do the job (direct use of water).

Does that help?

And it's time for me to go home -- I'll check back in later this evening, but will be offline for several hours.

[Idle Thoughts]

twickster, thank you so much for carrying on the game. You're a lifesaver. I feel the torch passed on is in great hands. :)

[Santo Rugger]

twickster, thank you so much for carrying on the game. You're a lifesaver. I feel the torch passed on is in great hands. :)

Why don't you play on our team, in twickster's spot, for this round?

While we're at it, we should make a rule that if there's only 1 person from a team left, and they've had, say 36 hours since the "round" started, or 6 hours since the last guess, we can move on?

[twickster]

I'm okay with Idle Thoughts playing in my place if he wants to -- but won't add him to the roster until (unless) he comes back while the first round is in play.

And I'm okay with "no action in 36 hours counts as a non-penalty pass" -- but you may want to PM or email the players concerned in case they're not aware the game has started up again.

[Idle Thoughts]

Ohh noo..hahaha. I was only thanking him (her?). :) I'm not going to be on much the next two or three days, like I had said, but if you didn't mind keeping the game alive maybe, I'll be back ready to play (or host again, either or, I don't care. :) )

twickster, could you tell us if Diver falls into the same category as 6. Swimming/diving instructor ?

It is time for Red Team to put up some suggestions:

We seem to be missing:

Sailor

What else?

"Diver," other than diving instructor, is a little vague -- what kind of diver?

And "sailor" is included in #14, all Naval and Coast Guard personnel.

As far as kibbitzing by non-players, I think you should do it here, not via PM. There are plenty of non-players watching the action, I think.

Yes, that's what "kibbitzing" means -- looking over the shoulders of those playing a game and commenting on it.

I'm guessing no one wants me to emcee another round -- does someone from Red Team want to volunteer?

Yeah us!

[ZipperJJ]

What the heck is the score? Does blue have ANY points?

Yeah, we won the first two rounds, I think ... the original scoring system was screwy, though, so I don't know what the actual score is. I was waiting for Idle Thoughts to come back and do the math.

My spring break starts today. PM me if our team is up because I will be around internet all week but probably won't read the boards unless I have a PM for this game.

[Santo Rugger]

Just wondering if anybody's going to run another round?

I was waiting for a resounding chorus of "Please, twicks, please! Emcee another round!"

[Talking Heads]Stilllllll waiting....[/th] :(

[Dolores Reborn]

Twicks, please emcee another round! Pretty please? Can I play this time?

[frog princess]

I was waiting for a resounding chorus of "Please, twicks, please! Emcee another round!"

Please, twicks, please. :)

I thought you didn't want to, so I wasn't gunna beg. ;)

[twickster]

Seriously -- since I created such an out-there list that y'all only got about half of it, I thought I'd outworn my welcome.

I've got an idea for another topic, with a shorter list -- will work on the list and see if this groundswell continues to build.

*chants* twicks, twicks, twicks!

"Please, twicks, please!
Emcee another round!"

I hope that counts as resounding and I apologize to everyone else. ;)
