Those not familiar with our showings of new tournaments, we have chat room traditions starting in the evening to make the wait more bearable. Usually, they are in the form of game shows in the chat, such as Jeopardy! or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I've hosted numerous of these, and now I'm going to continue the tradition, but with something new. This time, it's Greed.
There are two parts to Greed: The qualifying round and the main game.
The Qualifying Round is as follows:
Six contestants will be asked a question with a numerical answer between 10–999. Each contestant will lock-in their answers via chat PM to me. After all six contestants have submitted a guess, the answer will be revealed and the contestant with the guess farthest from the correct answer will be eliminated. The surviving contestants will be stationed at "podiums" based upon the closeness of their guess to the correct answer, with the contestant who had the closest guess becoming the team's captain (this just means the order where you answer questions). If two or more contestants give the same guess or guesses that were of equal distance from the correct answer, the contestant who entered their guess before the other(s) receives the higher ranking.
The main game involves answering just eight questions; the money ladder is as follows:
1 $25,000
2 $50,000
3 $75,000
4 $100,000
5 $200,000
6 $500,000
7 $1,000,000
8 $2,000,000
The first four questions: Starting with the team member who was furthest away from the correct answer to the qualifying question, multiple choice questions are asked and the team member locks in their answer. The team captain can accept their answer or reject it and select a different answer. The first two questions contain four possible choices and the third and fourth questions contain five possible choices.
If the captain decides to continue playing, the "Terminator" is activated and selects one team member at random. The player selected can accept $10,000 in cash (that was not at risk should the contestant lose the Terminator or the team misses a future question) in order to challenge another team member to a one-question showdown for their share of the collective winnings. If the player who buzzes in correctly answers the question they claim their opponent's share of the collective team winnings and their teammate is eliminated. If the player provides an incorrect answer or doesn't answer within 5 seconds, they are eliminated and their teammate gains control of their share. However, if the player eliminated is the same player who originally accepted the Terminator challenge, they keep their $10,000.
If the captain was eliminated, the contestant who won the challenge became the new captain. Otherwise, the showdown winner kept his/her original seat. You are allowed to buzz in during the question being stated, however I will immediately stop stating the question.
The next four questions: Beginning with the $200,000 question, each question contains four correct answers. The number of possible answers varied depending on the value of the question: the $200,000 question had six possible answers (four correct answers and two bluff answers), the $500,000 question had seven (four correct and three bluffs), and the $1 million question had eight (four correct and four bluffs aka a 50/50 split).
As for the $2 Million prize...we'll get to that if we reach there.
So, the game will begin sometime tonight. Ideally when thatoneuser finishes Proto Sasuke. So, who has the need for Greed?
