Monty Haull Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 A week ago we launched our first Game Show inside our base and it was fantastic! Since we received so much positive feedback, we are doing another one! That's right, Saturday, June 8th @ 8:00pm EST. You can check the posting for the last show here! How does the game work? At the start of the game, FOUR players will be selected to come to the front of the stage. There, they will be presented with some items in which they must bid on its value. The contestant that bids the closest, without going over, not only wins the items but, gets to come up on stage to potentially win MORE! MINIMUM PRIZE ONSTAGE IS 100 MILLION! After the player has completed the game onstage, we will call on another player to fill the open spot at the front of the stage. How do I get called upon to play? All you have to do is show up in your most outlandish costume you can create. This is not a costume contest but, if you want to be called up to play well, you need to stand out! There are some simple requests we have for those who decide to join us. Please turn off all powers and auras. Please no pets. Please do not go past the front row unless called upon. Please do not send tells to the game show staff. We will be REAL busy. Please have REQUEST chat channel on. We will use this to communicate to you all. PLEASE HAVE FUN! If you want to voice what you think the contestant should choose, use these emotes: /e score1 /e score2 /e score3 Base passcode is: MONTY-27905 - Follow the sign to STUDIO A1 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotriusPyrelus Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I wanna see that studio filled to standing-room-only this time! Tell all your friends. Only 4 contestants at a time this time seems like an expeditious change. I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clave Dark 5 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) Not trying to horn in, just being clear, if we've played before would you prefer we not play, just watch next time? I'm guessing yes.

I'm guessing yes. That is a good question. I never thought about repeating players. Full disclosure: I only select the very first player at the start of the game. The rest of the selection is done by Money Mouse. The first game, we had a small turn out so I think everyone got a shot to bid. I am hoping for a larger crowd this time. Here is my best response. If you made it on stage during the previous show, you would not necessarily be called up BUT, I do want to add some randomness to the selection so, a repeating player coul be. I hope my response answers your question. Edit: one of those "random" things will be posted on the forums today.

I remember a costume contest that took an hour extra to start and got tonnes (metric) of late entries. Perhaps mention it to some of the Twitch streamers, even if they are on other (Homecoming) servers. 1 1 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

We are still working on the format. Doing the straight up version with contestants, deciding if the answers from the celebrities are right or not is one idea. There is a another idea in discussion which is, having the contestants select a category first. That way the questions may be easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
