The lottery.

Blackboar · 01-18-2003, 05:01 AM

This worked very well on the anime message board I went on for a while so I hope it works here.

What you do (I will go first) is make up a general lottery game when you have the highest points. You could tell people to guess a number from 1-100 only allowing to put one point on or you could do something like I will for the first round.

Ir it is your turn to start a new round, post the current scores.

Scores so far

Everyone=0

Round one

Rules

For this round I have thought of a number between 1 and 10, you can put any amount of points on because none of you have any yet so you can't lose them.
When the first person gets the number I am thinking of (more than one person can say the same number) the game stops, if I am late and more than one person said that number, I will give you the points you bidded(you can't bid more than 5 points)

Let the gamebegin!!

Elf.Freak · 01-18-2003, 05:06 AM

Blackboar · 01-18-2003, 05:17 AM

*sigh* someones won already! It was 7! Your turn Elf.Freak, post the new scores, (Elf,Freak=2. Everyone else=0)and start a new round!! You can change the rules for this round, but keep them a little similar

Elf.Freak · 01-18-2003, 05:21 AM

Blackboar · 01-18-2003, 10:39 AM

4 points on 6.

By the way, when you have points (I think I forgot to tell you) if you don't get the number you lose the amount of points that you bidded.

Why did I get the points? I wasn't correct.

Insidious Rex · 02-16-2003, 10:37 PM

8 points on the fact the elven archer doesnt remember her number she picked like 4 weeks ago.

Elven Archer · 02-17-2003, 01:27 AM

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
