Ok Arvens I'll go with your proposal. The tournament Will start over(sorry Threehorn).
Here's how the game will now go.
I Will direct a question to one of you(say Littlefoot). He will then get 24 hours to answer and will be the only one allowed to answer in that time. If he gets it right he gets 10 points. If not he gets a 'strike' and the question passes to the other person. That person will also gets 24 hours to answer. If he gets it right, Hev gets 5 points. If Not , he also gets a strike and I'll reveal the answer. If You miss three questions, you strike out and the game is over.
Littlefoot , since you are the higher seed, you get to go first. You are the only one who can answer within the next 24 hours. Here's your question. What Will Camaela Parker Bowles' title be when she marries Prince Charles in April?

I know I'm full of suggestions, but I wouldn't randomly pick someone....set a list of who will go after who. ;) That would make it even more fair so the person knows when their turn will be up.
-
Ok Then. I'll seed People based on How they were seeded last time.
Arvens
Malte
Littlefoot
Threehorn
WeirdRaptor
Kenji
Nightwing
-
So we're starting the tourney over? The new set of rules sounds better, even with the fact that you don't have to pair anyone up.
-
Yes We Are Kenji. As we go along and people are eliminated, I may change some things.
Nick
-
Arvens since you are the highest seed to get to go First.
Nick
-
Ok...let's try mixed bag. :) (unless I have to answer that question about Camalea)
-
If You Want You can, But Here's the Question: What Major sport just canceled its season due to a Lockout?
Nick
-
Good...one I can answer. :P: The National Hockey League cancelled it's season when they couldn't come to agreement on financial terms for the players and teams.
Either way, I never liked hockey much so I'm not missing anything. :lol
-

Nick
Arvens 10 points no strikes
Malte 10 points 1 strike
Littlefoot 15 points no strikes
Threehorn 10 points no strikes
Kenji 10 points no strikes

-
I chose history (and I confess that questions about movies or sports are likely to kill me on the spot!).
-
Ok. What position did Franz Von Papen hold in Hilter's Government?
Nick
-
He was vice-chancelor until 1934 and later ambassador to Austria and finally to Turkey. Being acquited in the N¸rnberger trials he was convicted in another process but released prematurely. Later he became "Geheimk‰mmerer" (whatever that would be in English) to pope John XXIII.
-
Yep . 10 points to you Malte . Littlefoot It's your turn.
Nick
-
I'd recommend PM those that are next up so they are aware of it. ;)
-
One Inquisitive Quadruped present! Movies please...Fire away! ;)
-
Ok Littlefoot, what Film did Mel Gibson win Best Director for in 1995?
Nick
-
Hmm...interesting. I'm pretty sure it was Braveheart he got Best Director for in '95. Well, that's the only Mel Gibson film I can think of that was made around that time.
-
Yep. 10 Points For you Littlefoot. Threehorn, its your turn.
Nick
-

Nick
-
PM him or he'll never come. -_- He doesn't regularly stop by anymore.
-
I sent him a pm. Hopefully he'll respond.
Nick
-
If He Doesn't then it will be Kenji's turn.
Nick
-
Uh oh... :blink: WP! WP! You're up!
Just kidding :p I think I'm ready for this.
-
Pick a catergory Kenji.

I haven't seen him online to tell him he's up. -_- Try a PM because I can't guarantee I'll catch him.
-
Alright, If he doesn't respond then You're up Arvens. BTW, congrats on 2000!
Nick
-
Heh, I didn't even see that.... :P:
I'll try and get him in here before I'll readily take my turn. ;)
-
Ok Arvens, per your request I'll skip you for the round. So Malte It's your turn.
Nick
-
geography - (being dependant on a very poor internet connection I hope that I won't have any problems with answering in time).
-
Name 3 island African countries.
Nick
-
Madagascar, Sansibar, Mauritius.
-
ZanZaibar is Part of Tanzania Malte. It Was A independent country until ithe 1960's.But not anymore. So that is incorrect. Littlefoot you have an opportunity to answer.
Nick
-
All those islands had to be independent?
-
Yes. I Said 3 African island Coutries, But I guess I Didn't specify enough.
Nick
-
I guess it was clear enough. I'm out, simple is that. Don't worry, I don't care too much about it anyway.
-
That's only one strike Malte. You get three strikes and THEN you're eliminated. You're simply the first to miss that's all.
Nick
-
So...do I have to answer that last question or do I have another question since Malte has already partially answered that last one? Kinda think that would give me a bit of an unfair advantage coz that means I only have to give another one to pass...
-
JUst give me three different island countries Littlefoot.
Nick
-
From where? Anywhere in the world? Or three African country Islands? Don't quite understand the question... :unsure:
-
Three Different African island countries Littlefoot
-
Comoros, Cape Verde and Seychelles...howz that?
-
Yep. You get 5 points Littlefoot. It's now Threehorn's turn.
Nick
-
Flims for me

-
It is? Oh, mixed bag then.
-
Which film won the most Oscars this year?
Nick
-
*blind guess* Million Dollar Baby
-
Yep it won 6 oscars. 10 points for you Arvens. It's Malte's turn now.
Nick
-
Good guess. :P: I was almost going to say Finding Neverland when I decided to change my mind.
-
Well you got it right. It's Malte's turn.
-
To tell you the truth, I don't really like this game. It is too one sided and too much like a competition to me, unlike the other games where the winner may put up the next question, nobody is "forced" to answer a question before even seeing it, and nobody is given points for right or wrong answers.
-
It's SUPPOSED to be a competition Malte, that's what a tournament is. This is a round-robin format in which people are given questions and are rewarded forcorrect answers.
Nick
-
If Malte doesn't want to play, I don't see why he should be forced to, regardless of the format. :unsure:
Also, I think you can pull Nightwing from the mix....he hasn't been online and when he has he tells me how busy he is, so I'd drop him from the game.
-
Alright then. I'll drop Malte and nightwing. So that means its Threehorn's turn.
Nick
-
It's your turn Threehorn(Just a reminder)
