New Trivia Game - Page 2

I see that there were 89 views of this thread, but there were only 7 votes. The good news is that 4 of those say they will defininitly give the new game a chance;
the bad news is that we need more than 4 players to make it a viable game.

If you have never played the game, why not give it a try?

I will try to play the new game however ther are weeks I just don't have time to look up some of the questions. And some of those questions were hard enough that it took some time to look up.

If I was to change on thing it would be the divisions.

I have particpated and even ran Civil War contests on other boards.

What about "the divisions"?

(We currently have a First Division - for those who have at least 2 perfect scores in a game, and a Second Division for all others.)

Anyone else have opinions about "Divisions"?

I don't think the divisions work with a small group IMHO.

I like the game and love to play. I foud the first question a little too complex and the second a little too easy, althoiugh it did require attention. I a agree that the two divisions are too much for a small game.
I think that a small prize, somthing that won't break us, maybe a printialbe,sutable for framing bragging rights certificate for the winner, would be helpfull in bringing in players.

Guess what? There will be 'prizes' (of a sort), but divisions will continue for various reasons which I will explain when I get around to posting a thread about new/continuing features of the game.

Sock: start and end times will be the same.

Your comment that one question was "too complex" and that the other was "too easy", exemplifies the high wire act I must perform as Moderator. I hope to keep it my balance and keep the questions balanced as well.

As to the matter of "a small game", we do need a decent number of players in order to make the game viable. (12 - 15 would be a good minimum), so encourage your friends to participate.

I am game for what ever y'all decide. I am just looking forward to the restart. Just to clarify I don't think either question was "bad", I just wouldn"t want all of the questions in a game to be like either of them. I know it is a hard job and a tightwire act, especally with as knowledgeable a bunch of players as hang out here.

Because I'm new to the forums and need to jump in somewhere, figured it may as well be here!

May as well!

Thanks Dred, hope you enjoy the game.

Don't forget to introduce yourself at the "New Recruits Meet and Greet Forum" (near the bottom of all these other forums).

Welcome to CWT.
