I like the lives system. Having an even number of people is dangerous, and it makes things a bit more exciting
That being said if you do run this during the holiday season, the point system would make more sense, as even though it only takes a minute or two do participate in this game, it would be easy to forget in this busy time.
I'm not sure I understand the penalty for a two person minorty rule.
do you mean like?
Majority (7), name name name name...
Minority (2) person person
That persons would lose points? If thats the case, then I disapporove.
As for the one person minority, I was tempted to do that rule, but I didn't think establishing it after the fact was fair.
So the rules I recommend:
- Players start off with -1 points.
- Sending 1-3 questions gives you 1 point.
- When a player answers in the minority, the gain 1 point
- If you are luck enough to be the only person to select one choice, you will recive a bonus point
- If you miss one round, it's ok
- Any additional rounds missed without a concrete excuse, you will lose 1 point
- If you get to -3 points, you are eliminated
- First person to 5 wins /list]
As for my tiebreaker idea, it might be best for me to PM you if you are interested.
That being said, start NOW!
