All we really need now are our categories!

the thing is, a lot of people are not good at writing questions (like me) and therefore, if we want the best game possible, it would be logical to have someone who is better at writing questions write the questions.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:13:22 PM

Okay. I suppose for the sake of making things easier, we shouldn't have pre-determinied questions. Unless of course we get people writing questions like "what color is Cera?" for a $500 question.

I don't know. Let's see what people here like best.

In the end, it's really your decision Action9000. I would be happy to contribute in any case weather we have pre-determined questions or not.

That is true.

I like this idea. I was considering putting it to a vote, myself. It's a debate between complicating the process and making it really good, or just winging it and having fun. Considering it's just a party thing, My vote is for winging it and seeing what happens. If it doesn't work, we can back up and put more structure into it.

I agree. Pre-determined questions may make the board better than if we just have everyone write a question (unless I write them of course

) but the task of making 40 questions and daily doubles for 1 or 2 people could take a week. I don't think this would last long if this happened.

I think there should be a time limit to how long a person has to complete a question. Of course then, there will be those who want to have fun but don't want to contribute. What do you think?

A time limit would be nice. We need to make it fairly long in order to keep the game fair. Not everyone can live on the forum all day.

I would say a 1-day time limit (24 hours). If a question isn't answered by then, the answer is given out and nobody is awarded points. The same person should ask for another question.

Whoever gets the question right asks the next question. ANYONE can *buzz in* and try to answer anyone else's question. If nobody gets it right in 24 hours, the question is scrapped and removed from the board. How does that sound?

Wonderful! Sounds perfect. I know not everyone can live here like I practically do. It's just easy to forget that fact.

Don't worry, I can be bad for that, too. I spend more time on here than I probably should, lol.

I think now, we should start a new thread in the party room and post something like:

Okay. Here's jeopardy. Please select a question you want. If you get it right, you write the next one and post it here.

If they answer it right, you can take their question off the board and they can write a question. Since you're an admin, you could save the file missing the question in photoshop and save it as a jpeg and then edit their post and put the board with the missing question in there. The question cannot be answered until you put the modified board up so it's fair. what do you think about this?

action9000 · **Reply #30 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:36:18 PM

Anyways, I guess we're in need of categories!

1) The Gang
2) Guest Characters
3) Songs and Soundtracks
4) TV Series
5) The Early Sequels (2-4)
6) Grosvenor Sequels (5-12)
7) Backstage (stuff relating to the cast, writers, and development of the series)
8) Original LBT

That is my brainstorming. Throw out ideas and we'll choose our best 8 to go into the game!

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #31 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:36:28 PM

I think we could handle making 8 catagories especially if we don't have to write all the questions.

I couldn't come up with a question for that catagory if you paid me a million bucks! LOL.

That sounds like a plan to me!

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #34 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:40:18 PM

Okay. I'm going to make a new thread now if you're ready. Feel free to edit my post if I miss anything. I probably will since I've been up for a couple days.

westill need to finalize catagories though.

we still need to finalize catagories though.

Yeah, we should do that first. I also want to have the board updated with the categories before we get the post. That will only take a minute to change the text though.
Any thoughts for categories or do you want to just use mine?

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #36 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:43:42 PM

I really liked the catagories you have so far. Would Ruby and Chomper be considered guest characters or the gang?

Good question. I'm going to say "Guest characters" because they aren't really part of the Gang until very recently and there is no word on whether they are part of the Gang in LBT 13. I'd put them under "Guest characters". Honestly though, they could be either.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #38 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:46:22 PM

Okay. We should mention this on the board. If I wanted to write a question about Ruby and Chomper, I would be confused how to classify them.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #39 on:** June 10, 2007, 06:52:53 PM

Ya know, like catagory 1 instead of being called "The gang" could be called "The gang (origional 5)" just to avoid confusion. We don't want people asking questions on the jeopardy thread, which will happen if we make this too confusing.
