Billy "Country Breakfast" Butler

Alright, I'll close this topic in 15 minutes, then do the next quiz at bottom of the hour. I guess there are a few people waiting in the wings.

CE_gonna_CE posted...

So do we all like combine all our points or something to take down VJ?

Although no one's found the rules yet (several near-misses, actually), there are a few bonus rules that allow players to cut those with high point totals down to size. I specifically avoided making a feelbad "bankruptcy" rule a la Wheel of Fortune, though, since no one wants all their progress to be erased.

Dragon Valor is correct.

The first topic has ended and we got through the first eleven puzzles. Just 29 to go!

RULES

• Anyone can participate
• Each puzzle has twenty-five (25) clues with a 125x125 image of a game to guess
• There will be about 40 puzzles total and they're already created!
• Answers should be given in the form of [coordinate]:[name]. Example: "A1: Pac-Man"
• Only give one guess per coordinate (no "it's Bubsy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 5D!")
• Each game only appears once, although other entries in the series may appear.
• Each clue is from a game that (re)released from 2000 to 2024. Any applicable system in that timeframe may appear, from the PS5 down to the humble Game Boy Color.

I'll post the puzzle image via GameFAQs' uploader as well as the PNG file for a cleaner look. Like usual, I recommend downloading the cleaner file and blowing it up for a closer look since it'll almost always be more useful than this site's uploader.

SCORING

• You get 1 point for naming the correct game in the current puzzle. Use specificity where needed.
• You get 10 extra points for giving a clue that completes the puzzle (i.e. the 25th correct clue)
• You get 0 points for giving the correct year, system, or other extraneous info. Only the game's name counts!
• You get 0 points for answers that were already confirmed. Points are a "first come, first served" basis.

In addition to these normal rules, I also have a special bonus rule (inspired by MTG: Planechase) that applies to rounds past the first. What rules are they? How are they selected? Actually, it's you, the players, who will be choosing them, though the method is a secret to everyone but me. Most rules are "positive," giving players the opportunity to get extra points, though precious few can be more...nasty. (Don't worry -- there's no bankruptcy rule or anything.)

A list of all discovered "bonus rounds" is available on request. There's over thirty!

Foppe posted...

Is the @ turned off automatically or have they manually turned it off?

Uhhh, I have no idea.

Risk: Global Domination is correct.

I'll make a new topic later today to continue the exciting world of quizzes. Obviously, I can't do my "alert everyone 15 minutes early" strategy for that, so people'll just have to be on the ball. Don't break the F5 key!

Incorrect.

Borderlands 3 is correct.
Mad Maestro is correct.

This'll probably be the last puzzle until later today. I'm also curious about whether players want me to do more puzzles at night (USA time) or naw. I figured there'd be less players, but on the flipside, it might give some newbies a chance to wedge themselves high up the leaderboard. Otherwise, I usually retire the current puzzle at midnight and there's six hours of dead time.

Bonus rule for the upcoming round:

Rule #0: Discovery Channel
This round, answers are worth [0.2*X] points by default, where X is the amount of unique bonus rules encountered so far. Answers can't be worth less than 1 point.

Rule #0 is the hardest one to encounter, so that's interesting (1.8 points per). I'll round up or down, depending on what the value ends up being.

PokePark Wii is correct.

Anachronox and Back 4 Blood are correct.

Hmm, forgot this puzzle started almost two hours ago. I'll retire it at bottom of the hour and do the next one at quarter to.
