Okay, now that Tribond has ended, I promised those that Beyond Balderdash would be the next game. Here's the rules since I can't find the old copy (apparently, threads ARE unreachable after a certain point).
I post a category and question. Players PM me their guesses to what the answer is. I post the list of guesses and then players have to pick from that list what they think the answer is. You get points for giving guesses for the list and guessing the correct answer from the list, and getting others to guess your answer.
Ex. Category is Initials. The initials are: S.M.F.W.
Player A guesses So Many Fine Women
Player B guesses Society of Medical Friends of Wine (the correct answer)
Player C guesses Society of Male/Female Whisperers
That's for the list. When I post it
Player A guesses B
Player C guesses A
Player D guesses B
Players A, B, and C get points for doing initial guesses.
Player A gets points for getting the correct answer from the lists, PLUS getting two people to guess his answer.
Player B gets points for getting the answer right off the bat
Player C gets no points
Player D gets some points for guessing the correct answer, but not as many as Player A because he didn't do an initial guess for the list.
Got it? Confused? Let's play! Game will start Monday, 5/7. The categories I will be using are People, Initials, and Dates (no words or movies because they're too easy to look up).
Points: You get one point for providing an initial guess. You get three points for providing the correct answer (and cannot guess from the list afterwards)
If you did the above, you get 2 points for getting the correct answer. If not, you only get 1 point.
You get a point for each person guessing your answer from the list.
Each round there will be a player designated as the "Dasher". If no one guesses the correct answer from the List, the Dasher will get 2 or 1 points, depending on if he did an initial guess.
Let's play!
