Please use this area to post well thought out, fun activities for the TVCH. This should be something aside from what we are doing now. Don't worry about what everyone may think about your idea. Just throw ideas out!

______________________

Here's one idea. I think we should have a boardwide scavanger hunt! We could do this individually or divide up into teams. Set it between certain hours, make a list of stuff to find (in Game archives, ads, other areas of the TVCH, or other webpages, etc) and then turn everyone loose.

The first person or group to complete the list and show proof WINS!

How about this:

You say a graphic that needs to be found... for example "a picture of a pig with wings"

What the team has to do is find that graphic, copy it's url, and make a list

OR

on this board, it could be "find a time when a celestial being got fiery" or something and you'd have to find where Moondance flipped out on E (ok, it's just an example, don't get testy everyone!)

Great ideas!

How about a scheduled game in the format of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."

We could have a "lightening round" to see who plays...The player could ask other board members (of their choice) to be a lifeline...There would be quick time limits for posting answers. It would have to be very scheduled & well run but sounds like fun (to me atleast)! lol
It could be done in a chat room...Yea...That sounds better...

I like your idea Spam. Also like yours Willi.
The scavenger hunt items would have to be hard to find. Then people would post the answer and the url where to find the item. It could be scheduled ahead of time.

The Millionaire game sounds fun, too.

Excellent idea Spam.

Millionaire TVCH style sounds like something that would work well too.

I was kind of thinking that it would be fun to play a survivor type of game - except that nobody gets voted out. We would work as teams (or sometimes individuals working for team points) for points achieved by solving puzzles, playing games against each other, etc.

These are good ideas. Keep them rolling in and add some specifics as you continue to give it more thought.

Guru, great thread you started--thanks.

It seems lots of folks have enjoyed the puzzles Spam had going, although most of those posts were done during the day. It sounds like there are some ideas here that could also work for posters that are around at different times.

Others who've posted so far--good ideas!

These are GREAT suggestions, that can only make this board better. I had thought about the Millionaire myself.

I would also like to suggest a game something like Woman are from Venus and Men are from Mars. Asked question to see just how much each sex really know about the other.

All the ideas above are good.
I myself like word games - anything from crossword puzzles, unscramble, how many words can you find within a word... that type of thing.
I also like trivia and "Millionaire".
I am not good at puzzles like Spam's and mystery type things but I would enjoy watching it.
I am not available at night for "chat" or anything else so I might be out of the loop anyway.

Boy, it's quiet in here today!

Sis and I are going to do a Trivia/Millionaire type game. One of us will ask a question and give 4 multiple choice answers.

The rules will be simple. Anyone can pop in and play. It is multiple choice so we ask that EACH PERSON ONLY GIVE ONE ANSWER PER QUESTION. The person to answer/guess correctly first, wins a point.

We will number the questions and ask each person to give their answer with the number of the Question and Copy and Paste the Answer of their choice.

Example:

Question 1
What is the term that means to copy information from a remote computer to your computer?

  • cyphen
  • download
  • steal
  • hack
You would answer:

#1 - download

We plan to start playing tomorrow and we will do it off and on during the day and evening so everyone gets a chance to play.

We would also like to do a few rounds in chat if anyone wants to play live. We will keep score and post the results every day. At the end of a week the winner will be the person with the most points.

Nos, sounds like fun, but wouldn't (download) be number 2 and (cyphen) but number 1? So the answer would be 2#-download?

Misslibra...the answer to question #1 is download.

Suggestion: If the questions are numbered then the answers should probably be lettered to avoid confusion. JMHO.

Ok to make it clearer... we are only going to number the questions and ask you to copy and paste answer...

Question #1
Answer: download

we decided not to give alpha choices for answers cause it would always be a, b, c, d.. and would get confusing... so we ask you to post the question numer and then copy and paste answer instead. I hope that is not too confusing.

New board game proposal: WWW

It has been over a week since TTMM ended so it might be time for a new game. I have been searching for quotes by tvch members and tried out a few questions in chat to see if it would work.

The new game would be sort of a board treasure hunt called Who-What-Where. A question would be asked about a quote. The questions would be worth 3 pts each. One pt for Who said it or who it was about; one pt for What folder it was in; one pt for Where it was (the url).

A person could only answer once for each question so you would have to choose if you wanted to trust your memory and guess on Who said it--or take the time to do a search. First person to answer either Who, What or Where gets a pt. The same person cannot get all 3 pts per question.

The search feature would come in handy for finding url of quote or folder but guessing the Who first could be faster than searching.

There would be set times and a set amount of questions, spaced over the day, so everyone gets an opportunity to play.

WWW could begin on Monday morning at 9 am board time if there are people that want to play. WWW would be a shorter game than TTMM, 3 or 4 days. I would like to know who is interested in playing and any suggestions are welcome of course! If there is interest I will put together a schedule and the rules for playing. :)
