    But I didn't have time to get on this morning except to check my PM's! Some people actually work full time. It's still the 15th. 8:49 am board time is 12:49 PM for me in my timeframe, and at that time I'm at work! There's no way I had a chance. During the weakdays, there should be an allowance for people who have a real life and work!

    Since I cannot use the quote button from the rules thread of this forum, I'm cutting and pasting:

    Playing the Game

    Two teams will square off at a time. The host will PM a question to the first member of the team. The question will ask something that the host has a survey number for. That person will then PM the host back. The player who responds with the highest ranking answer will win. If both respond with the same level answer, the player who responds quickest in time from opening the PM to sending the response.

    The player who wins this will then have their team continue to play the game. They will post their responses in thread (no help from the audience in the thread, please). They will continue to go until either they get all the answers, or until they have three incorrect answers (referred to in game as strikes). If they clear the board, they win the round. If they get three strikes before they clear the board, the opposing team will get one chance to give an answer. If they succeed, they win the round. If not, the other team wins the round. The winner of the round gets the cumulative total of points assigned to each answer, based on the number of respondents from the survey.

    The game continues in this fashion with the next person on the team list taking the place of the first for the initial PM question. The third game will have point values doubled, and all games after that will have point values tripled. The first team to 300 points wins the game, advances in the tournament, and gets to play the bonus round.


    WHERE IS THE TIME LIMIT?

    And seriously, if everyone had taken the 24 hours instead of two answers being given on the same day, my turn wouldn't have ended by tomorrow IF there was a legal time limit. But, the time limit wasn't even in the rules!

    I apologize for any confusion over a time limit and any oversight in not putting it in the officially posted rules. However, I have stated several times, in public, that a time limit of some sort will be enforced. And, I am certain that I have posted that, at the beginning, that limit will be 24 hours, with more leniency given on the weekends.

    I do believe 24 hours is incredibly fair, no matter your circumstance or time zone. You were put "on the clock" at 8:44 board time yesterday, meaning you had from that time, until 8:49 board time this morning to get an answer posted. So, if you are only able to check in the evenings, you had last evening to check. In fact, no matter what time of day you have available to check the boards, in a 24-hour period, that time period will be there once.

    It would be a bit silly, in my opinion, to not have a time limit of some sort in a game like this. Otherwise, a game could, theoretically, continue forever without penalty, and I don't see that being enjoyable in the least bit.

    Alrighty...

    We're goin' with...

    "Partying / to Party / to attend a party"

    As our answer.

    If you're looking for a specific type of party, we're going to say a "Bachelor Party"

    :)

    Agreed with epic agreeing with Integral.

    And Inty definitely mentioned the 24 hour limit.
    I was certainly aware of it.

    For this question, we surveyed 100 Americans. The top six answers are on the board ...

    1. __________
    2. __________
    3. __________
    4. __________
    5. __________
    6. __________

    And ... the question has been PMed to nemisis and SilSolo

    As a reminder, if Nemisis gains control of the board for Hooper's, it will go to Xan, NP, I_H, PRENN, then back to nem. If Sil gains control for Plot Bunies, it will go Jaina_and_Jag, mavjade, path-seeker, Alexis, then back to SilSolo. Got it?
