    Fact or Wacked

    So how does this thing work?
    -
    Up to 10 users are allowed to play at a time, with the sign-up sheet being posted for one week before we start.
    - There will be a challenge posted every 2 days and players will get 24hrs to respond to it. These challenges will be in the form of 3 statements. Each player must then guess if each of the statements is fact or fiction (wacked). Try not to google the answer, just go with your best guess. The reason I’m asking you not to google the answer is that then you will always get them right, therefore always gaining the max number of points - that makes it no fun and there can’t be a winner unless someone misses a round.

    - I will post links to the fact information so you know I’m not just making stuff up.
    - Time Zones will always be an issue regardless of what time the challenge is posted. And new challenges are posted in Central Time, usually in the morning. Unfortunately, there is no perfect time, so certain players will always be handicapped no matter what time the host posts.
    - There are points awarded for each challenge:
    • The first person to answer will gain 1 point
    • Each player will get 1 point for each of the three statements they guess correctly as fact or wacked
    • For guessing all 3 statements correctly, a bonus of 2 points is gained.
    - If a player misses 3 rounds in a row or 5 rounds total in the game, they will be eliminated.
    - The game will last for 10 rounds. The person with the most points will win the game. The winner will get 3 days of colors. If the winner happens to be a Mod, the second place person either gets to pick the Mod's colors or gets colors themselves.

    Example:
    1. The placement of a donkey’s eyes in its head allows it to see all four of its hooves at all times.
    2. Squirrels are the reason for most blackouts in the United States.
    3. There is a nerveless area of skin half the size of a playing card on the top of your foot. Your brain compensates for it.

    Round 1
    1. Germany is credited with starting the Christmas Tree tradition. - Fact
    2. Nearly 71% of pet owners are allergic to tomatoes. - Wacked
    3. The earliest record of Christmas trees in the US are from around 1820 in Pennsylvania’s German communities. - Fact

    Alpha: 5
    Ishy: 5
    HanSolo29: 5
    Relaxus: 6
    Belligerent: 2
    Darth Darkness: 2

    Round 2
    1. In 1659, the General Court of Massachusetts made a law that celebrating Christmas was a penal offense, you were fined for hanging decorations.
    2. The carol ‘Silent Night’ is the most popular Christmas song.
    3. About 90% of insurance agents, make noise while sleeping.

    With tomorrow being New Year's Day, I know I'll be on sometime, but probably not by 9:30 AM CST. You still have 24 hours to answer.
