The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The Double Game Contest

It’s a small game that me and Vaan360 thought about. Actually, it already existed, but I don’t know the real name. For now, it’s the Double Game Contest.
Five contestants are put to test in five rounds of five questions. Each question must be answered in 20 seconds. Three options will be given, by the way. That way, you only have to choose A, B or C.
There is a small break between each round, in which contestants may chat.
Now for the challenge:
Each question has a certain value. The value raises as contestants go higher on the rounds.
At the end of each round, each is given ten seconds to think about whether quitting or discover.
If you don’t quit, and you’re in the bottom of the list, you drop out.
If you quit, you drop out anyways.
In reality, if you quit, you earned the money you were able to stock in the rounds.
But we aren’t giving away money, so… sorry.
The show airs in the Portuguese television, although I’m sure it also airs in others.

By the way, only contestants may post while the game is on.

So, who's up?

How will you know if we posted within 20 seconds?
If I may make a suggestion, why don't you extend that to 24 hours? It is much more manageable in that time interval. For the 10 seconds, 12 hours.

I'm in, though. It sounds entertaining.

That's true... well, 24 hours... I don't know, maybe an hour or two... 24 hours is a bit stretched.

But I'll wait to see. :D
