Knightmare Prizes to be won!
Posted: 29 Jul 2015, 18:57
That's right. This is your opportunity to win a number of fantastic and unique Knightmare prizes, for free! Got your attention? Then read on.
In a somewhat pathetic attempt to reinvigorate Knightmare Chat and hopefully introduce some excitement and competition to the community, within the next couple of weeks we will start running a weekly DEAL OR NO DEAL game in Knightmare chat. All entrants will be placed on a leader board and after a year, the winner will receive a number of unique Knightmare prizes. Participation is entirely free.
What are the prizes?
We will send the winner:
Is there a second place prize?
No. Winner takes all.
How does the game work?
The game plays largely the same way as the UK gameshow.
Players are guaranteed one chance to swap their initial box (which is randomly chosen) with the remaining box at the end. There is also no "box 23".
How do I apply?
Applications must be made via Knightmare chat, but it will be possible to apply at any time.
Just say !dealornodeal in Knightmare chat. Skeletron, our friendly bot, should then confirm your registration.
How is the winner chosen?
The winner will be the person with the highest winning score at the end of the season. In the event of a tie, the winner of the tie will be the person with the highest total score on the leader board. If the tie is still not resolved then a tiebreaker question will be set.
How many games are played each week?
This depends on the length of each game. At least one, possibly as many as three.
Can I apply more than once?
Yes! But you can only be in the list of waiting players once at any time.
If I am selected, can I give my turn to someone else?
No. That would allow a circumvention of only being in the waiting list once.
Can someone else tell me what to do?
Yes. As per the TV show you can take advice from others, and we will encourage people to advise you.
What if, mid-game, I disconnect?
We'll give you some time to sort your/our connection out. If it becomes clear that you're not coming back, we'll have to terminate the game. Note that you won't be able to continue from where you left off at another time, nobody else will be able to continue on your behalf and no "current score" (however that might be calculated) will be recorded for you. You will not, however, be removed from the waiting list as a result.
How is a player selected?
From among the top 22 players (ahh, the optimism) in the waiting list who are online when a player is to be selected, a player will be randomly chosen.
When does this all start?
Hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Watch this space, really.
I am hopeful that Billy, our resident DEAL OR NO DEAL expert will come along in a special "week 0" to demonstrate how to play.
When will the games take place?
Sunday evening, 8pm in Knightmare chat unless indicated otherwise.
What happens in the event that, in the opinion of the admins, not enough people are playing?
Alan will sulk. Drassil will say something witty. Keith will probably try to cheer Alan up. Not sure what others might do. Either way, we'll stop the competition, apologise profusely to those that have already played, pull the prizes and use them for something else.
However, we hope that the prizes are sufficiently OMGAMAZING!!!112 that there'll be a fair amount of interest.
Why DEAL OR NO DEAL?
It has the advantage of being easy to understand and mostly random (with a small element of psychology and maths attributed to it). It's therefore entirely open and doesn't discriminate. It also seems to be a community favourite.
What does DEAL OR NO DEAL have to do with Knightmare?
I....
Go away, hypothetical person.
