THE RULES - jasonzahn.com GAME SHOW!
Thanks for playing the jasonzahn.com Game Show!
The rules are pretty simple, but do require some explanation.
Now, granted, the game isn't exactly programmed like this, but
for the sake of explanation, pretend you're standing in the
game show studio, buzzer in hand and your host (me) tells you this:
We've polled 100 people from a recent studio audience to best
complete today's phrase. Your job is to guess which answer received
the most votes (the winning answer) and, as a bonus, the answer
that received the fewest votes (the losing answer.) Often, there
is more than one losing answer - three or four answers will
sometimes receive one vote each, thus making them all losers.
You'll normally receive points equal to the percentage of votes
your winning answer response receives. HOWEVER, as a bonus,
if you correctly predict a losing answer, you'll DOUBLE your
points for the day! But think carefully, if the answer you predict
to lose actually turns out to be the day's winner, you receive
NO POINTS - so watch it!
NEW - APRIL EDITION If your WINNING answer turns out to be a loser for the day, you'll
receive no points and no credit for a game played, so think
carefully!
ALSO you have the option to double your days' points take twice
a month - BUT ONLY TWICE. In other words, if you're confident
that you've got a runaway winning answer and are pretty sure
you've doubled it up with a good losing answer guess, go ahead
and check the 'double my points today' option. If you're not
confident of your answers, don't bother using your free double.
Or if you're just desperate for points, go ahead and use it.
I'll probably end up doing that.
SO...
If you have any questions regarding the rules, feel free to
email me or take it
up on the message board.
The jasonzahn.com Halls of Fame and Shame welcome entrants from
the jasonzahn.com Game Show from each monthly edition. The Hall
of Fame will welcome the contestant with the highest overall
point total (the overall winner) and the contestant with the
best points per game average (and has played more than half
of the games) The Hall of Shame will welcome the contestant
with the lowest overall points per game average (and played
in more than half of the games.)
I've enjoyed putting the game together and I hope you enjoy
making it a quick part of your daily routine. Have fun with
it and tell your friends! There are new puzzles every weekday
- none on weekends. There's a new edition with a fresh
start every month.
