points game

ok...

since we don't have too many "games" going on around here, i'll make one.

it'll be a game where you can win points for yourself, and it'll be kind of like battle of the sexes on mtv.

every day for the next, say, ten days, w/a challenge every day that requires you to do some kind of special thing. the people with the lowest scores from each sex will be eliminated from the game at 8:00 pm each night for the first nine days. the tenth day:whoever gets the highest score in the final competition will win the final prize for their side: 1,800 points. each player will recieve 600 points to add to whatever they have and do what they want. unless... actually, it's 50 points to enter, plus there can only be 12 players on each side. if you want to register, give 50 points to me, then post here to say which side you're on. the first twelve people from each sex get to play, and maybe i'll do another one in the future so more can play.

remember- you want to finish each one to get your own individual points to stay in. the final three on each side should then worry about winning for their team.

the game will start wednesday (may 28) at 8:00 pm. you then have 22hours to complete the mission. if you do not send the information (or whatever it is) to me by 5:00 pm, you are disqualified from that competition and get a big fat 0 points. the scores are then announced at 8:00 and one is disqualified, immediately followed by the announcement of the next challenge. the game ends at 8:00 pm on thursday, june 5 when the winning team will be announced and the points will be awarded.

registration starts... now. *clicks on submit new thread*

oh- and registration will end at 6:00 tomorrow. (p.m.)

(edit)
bump everything ahead by one day. registration ends at 6:00 wednesday. game ends friday the 6th. the game starts on thursday

im in (im male, in case you havent figured).

btw, how are you gonna get all those points?? i mean, if each one of us gives you 50 points, you get 1200. But you want to distribute 600 points to every player + a 1800 points bonus! and honestly, i dont think the admns will just give away that many points.

ps- its a good idea to tell us in what timezone you are in, since not all of us are under the same zone.

first- i'm giving the winners (three people) 600 each, but te 50 from 24 players adds 1200 to the points that i already have, wihch is 600. see? i'm actually giving away all of my points!

second- i'm in central time (GMT -6 hours)

third- and actually: registration ends wednesday at 5:00, players anounced at 7:50 and game begins at 8:00. okay. i'm done making my modifications here.

oh- and: ( :rolleyes: ) you must donate 50 credits, otherwise there won't be enough for the winners. and if you register after there are enough people, i'll give you back the 50.

losers of the game- if you lose, i'm looking at a possible consolation prize of 5-10 points, i'll have to see how many extra i have, though.

and for the answers in the competitions, you'll want to pm me the answer instead of posting it since you don't want other people getting the answers because of your hard work.

and what about the 1800 points bonus?
nevermind, i got it. i though i were gonna give the first one 1800 points the the second and third would get 600 each.

also, we could open an account for bank, and after we are done, we can ask the admns to delete it

its not that i dont trust you, its just that i dont trust you :D
(whose quote is this? i dont remember...)

but seriously, the advantage of opening a new account is that its easier to keep track of the donations, since you will be posting and stuff. You could open an account with the name "ACCOUNT" and then post here, so every1 can keep track of how many ppl have payed. After the game is over, you distribute the points and ask the admn to delete that account

I'll be in your game but... not that I am but... let's just say there was uh, a person who was a guy, born a girl, who underwent a sex change operation to make him a man but who was a GAY man.... therefore being sort of like a woman....

What category would he fit into, now?

well, he would go in the "a guy, born a girl, who underwent a sex change operation to make him a man but who was gay" category. take that sit right over there.

i can't seem to logout successfully, cause when i do, and i return to the forums index, it logs me back on again. however, i did donate the 750 points to it already, as you can see by my points count.

if you want to donate credits to join, then donate credits to the username B.O.T.S. Bank, which stands for Battle of the Sexes Bank. since i unfortunately am unable to logout and post with that one to give points updates, just go to the profile:

here it is (http://www.lucasforums.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=81382) if it doesn't work, tell me. it might not because there were so many numbers and letters in that thing that i may have messed up somewhere. the 750 points are in there, and the registered people are as follows (as i understand)

MALE
al-back from the big whoop (need donation)
carl shutt

FEMALE
yufster (need donation)

don't know yet which group cause they didn't tell me:

How many credits do I need to donate? I'm too lazy to scroll up and read the rules. I once read the Yahoo TOS and ever since I think I've been allergic to anything along the lines of TOS.

go to the store and click "donate points to user" then put the name of B.O.T.S. Bank and donate fifty credits. Voualla.

if you can't find it, here's a link to the lucasforums store (http://www.lucasforums.com/store.php?s=&action=main). click on donate credits, make sure it is exactly correct: B.O.T.S. Bank it is 50 credits to get in, like philbrush said. make sure to donate the credits before wednesday at 5:00 central time (gmt -6 hours)

neil: if you want, you can donate the 40 or whatever you have right now, and i'll give 10 of my credits to the bank as well. unless that's unfair. then just post 5 more times somewhere, i guess. shouldn't be too hard.

here are the current registered people (if i'm correct):
male
philbrush
carl shutt
al-back from the big whoop
huz
gabez
neil joshi (need donation)

female
yufster
natty

who has not yet given credits? i know that three people already have since yesterday, one of them being philbrush. who are the other two? i can't access the bots bank, so could somebody do it for me and see who has done it already? i can't log out. probably some restriction for me so they can make sure i don't make the whole fiasco of not knowing my password and crap.

Okay, so here's 42 and i'll pay you 8 when I get it, then it'll be fair (and Huz, don't worry, i'll still pay you back your 14). and i'll also pay anyone else back credits I owe them. Wow, never expected to be in debt :p with virtual credits, it's happening, they're becoming like the real thing, we'll have loan sharks soon enough, can't pay up, then they send over a virus to break your legs (or something)

important!!!

registration ends in a half hour!!! if you want to play, hurry up! if i don't meet the requirement, then i'll either postpone it or wait for two more girls to sign up and each winner will only get 400, i guess...

come on guys, sign up! anyone? anyone? bueller?

please sign up!!!

another thing i guess i could do is just redistribute the points back to everybody that registered and we just won't play it... unless some more people sign up. where is everybody? i thought i'd have enough people... :(:(:(

time has expired!!!

with only 6 guys and 4 girls, i need two more girls to register, we will play with only 6 on each team, i guess.

the rules are now changed

there will be only two winners, two from one side, that each win 600, unless i can recieve 6 more guys and 8 more girls. if this goal is not reached by 11:00 pm GMT on friday, may 30, there will only be 6 people on each side when i recieve two more girls.

this means registration is postponed until 11:00 pm, GMT, on may 30 for those of you that didn't pick up on it in the last sentence.

register!! you won't regret it!!! well, maybe you will. but still register!
