| Posted: | | | | A free for all could be interesting with a time limit for the whole game. I missed the 12 hour deadline ![](/images/emoticons/embarrassed.gif) this morning because I had to spend some time getting to the office this morning and then setting up my computer at the office ![](/images/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) - you know the sort of thing that pays me so that I can own all those DVDs and the profiler etc. The idea of ordering by timezone could also help if we decided to stick to a specific order, especially if we get people into the game from both coasts in the USA as well as people from Australasia and environs to spread the game globally - it would means that the 12 hour limit between answers would be easier to adhere to, especially if the time difference between people is no more than 6 hours. I found that following Rico, who is on California, and therefore around 11 hours behind me in SA made matching the 12 hour limit difficult because when he is answering I am generally NOT on the computer, but actually watching some of the backlog I have. | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley Caroline |

| Posted: | | | | That takes care of the coasts of the US. ![](/images/emoticons/devilish.gif) Now all we need are some people from the Australasia area, preferably 1 from each side to spread the zones a bit. ![](/images/emoticons/devilish.gif) | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley Caroline |

| Posted: | | | | My God,
How'd they ever got the rules out for Monoply.
6hrs 2min? Ok but why 2 min? Regarding "Free For All FunGame" try playing the game live (friends & family) no paper, computers etc. The order works! Someone could start a new thread, 'Free For All FunGame' in addition to the ordered game.
1. 5 Player Only test FunGame - is moving better, sorry Caroline your out, Rander needs to prepare the prize.
2. Free For All - Drawbacks include:
a) Awards special advantage to the person sitting at the machine, most hours. b) Does nothing to address time zones, two people same time zone rack up pts. while others sleep. c) Not a test of knowledge. d) Most probable winner will have a predominant number of easy letters. e) Strategy is to elminate opponent, steer him/her to hard letters e.g. X, free for all, may have long pause.

I will join in a free for all one if there is one, but at present I will not start it. Who is playing? | | | <---------Mithrandir, Laverne and Shirley Caroline |

Time and experience At this point, I think creating the rules for such an easy (fun-) game is almost more fun as the game in itself ![](/images/emoticons/grin.gif) | | | Thorsten |

| Posted: | | | | Hi Caroline Your out because! You missed the 12 hr deadline.

A little secret we should keep quiet. Take Care Rico PS is it hot, just right, or cold in SA. Southern CA is hot like a 100 F. | | | If I felt any better I'd be sick! Envy is mental theft.

| Posted: | | | | Hi Gang,
The just completed FunGame, has a yet to be addressed problem. Looking at that thread where I missed the time frame, where does the time frame start for the next person?

Looking at that thread where I missed the time frame, where does the time frame start for the next person? Well, you have 12 hours to respond, then the next has 12 hours... If you miss your "timeslot", I would say that dissappears together with you, and Caroline would then have to post her answer within 24 hours of Kahless' post (assuming the order is Kahless -> Rico -> Caroline). At least, that seems fair to me... | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

| Posted: | | | | Ok! Agree
The new time frame though, lined up or ordered by time zone is 6 hrs 2 min. | | | If I felt any better I'd be sick! Envy is mental theft. If you covet another mans possessions, then you should be willing to take on his responsibilities, heartaches, and troubles, along with his money. D. Koontz |
