Guessing games rules and scoreboard

[nich]

Welcome to the guessing games! There's been some recent changes to the way we play these games so I decided to update the format of leaderboards.

The guessing games is a very popular forum pass time created by Clarence and run my me because he's too lazy to do it himself. A game host will think of an object or person. Everyone else needs to ask yes or no questions to figure out what it is. The one who solves the game would become the new host.

Originally there were two topics in addition to some special ones. But due to difficult games Clarence and I agreed to let everyone have a topic of their own so everyone gets a turn. And if someone is a bad game host and player can simply choose to play with someone who doesn't suck.

Rules:

1) Each user can have up to one topic per sub forum. One for "Guess Who" and one for "Guess What". You are not allowed multiple topic/games of either. Disregarding this rule will result in the topic being removed by a mod or admin.

2) Yes and no questions only. Common sense. That's just how the game works.

3) Anyone can make a topic and start a game now. No requirements. As long as you follow rule 1) you're golden.

4) Be serious. I reserve the right to not add your games to the leaderboard if you cant be responsible when running a game. But besides that you do have some power over how you play. You can choose whether or not you want to include guesses after its been solved but before its confirmed or how many hints you want to give. for example but try to be serious.

5) And of coarse have fun! I know we have a scoreboard but it's made so you can compete with yourself. Not each other. You should focus on beating your own high scores. Coming up with impossible challenges just to get at the top of the leaderboard ruins the fun of the game. And since the scores or organized by person if you play unfairly you're pretty much cheating yourself.

This leaderboard will constantly be updated by me as games are completed.

Thanks for doing this, reaper.

And no chex-shaming!

[Clarence]

You might as well just score Cho for 5 billion on some random thing only she knows about

[nich]

Updated the list and added score for people who solved the puzzles.

[Clarence]

I just made your list even better!

[nich]

I just made your list even better!

I assume you saw the secret message then?

Also I just realized that these games are an insanely easy way to increase your post count. I'm about to pass Sizz.

Crap you're right ... I better shut em down!

[nich]

Updated the scores. I WILL be the master at this game!

[nich]

Aww. Chex found out that I removed her from the scores.

[chex]

Reaper, perhaps you've forgotten, but we don't take too kindly to cheaters around here.

[nich]

Got around to updating the scores and wow. Cho ALMOST beat her all time record.
Note to self: don't allow Cho to pick again.

[Clarence]

It felt like 200 guesses.

[nich]

It felt like 200 guesses.

No kidding. I wonder if it's even possible to beat her high score without being forced to forfeit.

[Clarence]

I got an idea for an art project.

Every random item/person we used for these games into a painting.

[chex]

Get on that, will ya Shay?

[Beany]

This one was 75 too, was it not?
EDIT: I counted 77, but I could be wrong.

I told you "nothing" wasn't a question didn't I?

[Clarence]

You did guess at nothing even if it was a statement rather then a question. I remember that post.

Stop nickeling and diming here and let her have the miniscule 3 additional points.

Actually I counted 75 (Including "nothing")

Fine. I'll add it.

[Clarence]

Yeah, you went on and declared that it was nothing. Had it of actually been nothing it would have won you the game. Therefore I think it should be counted
