UO Super Jeopardy! - Sunday, January 30th 2011 @ 9PM
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:34 pm
Welcome! For those of you who don't know, Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows in the history of television. If there is enough interest it will a popular event on this server. In a reverse of the standard quiz format, three contestants are given an answer and vie to be the first to come up with the appropriate question. The format here on UOSA will be the same. All answers and questions will be UO/UOSA related. People may be eliminated each game from future games, and while unlikely everyone will have the opportunity to move onto the next game.
The duration of each event is expected to be approximately 1 hour. It will take some time for me to prepare for the game and coordinate schedules with contestants for each UOSA Super Jeopardy! game. Please be patient and I will update here as things get sorted out; changes in red.
Date: TBD (Multiple Dates, will list here)
Once I get 3 contestants I will announce the date of the next Jeopardy match.
Place: TBD (Got a place?)
Special Thanks: None at this time.
Rules:
Answer-question format (standard Jeopardy! format)
3 or 4 contestants per game
Must cast Buzz (Harm but no target) to Answer within 5 seconds
- If you need a harm scroll let me know. I will provide to you for free.
- Casting other spells will result in a 3 second penalty.
- 15 seconds to answer the question, if you need extra time due to a slow typing speed let me know in advance (30 seconds max). The questions (responses) are relatively short and should all be formulated properly as a question. e.g. What is ______? Who is _____? etc.
