I hesitate to make a change in rules now that Iā€™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? 1. Friday the 13th 2. Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Halloween 4. Jaws 5. 6. 7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 8. Hellraiser 9. ChildsPlay 10. Silence of the Lambs 11. 12. 13.

In this example, if we get 22 of them, and they steal the last one, they should get 21 points. Just a thought, but Iā€™m cool with either way. ---

If we decide to change the rules, Iā€™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. ---

[QUOTE=Taber] If we decide to change the rules, Iā€™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. [/QUOTE] Yeah, agree with that (esp. since Iā€™m the one who got Blue into this morass). The ā€œstealing team gets all the pointsā€ rule is the one the original show used, so Iā€™m okay with changing the rule with the next round, though. ---
