Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

Suggestion for the future: comps can't favor groups so much (the poison game, gun game, etc). I was drawing dead when we got down to 4. Either make them all random or make them individual games (like the IQ game).

Speaking of the IQ game, idk if you verified scores but seems like a huge flaw to just take their words on who got the highest score. You should change it to something like whoever got the middle of the 3 scores win. That way even if they lie they still can't gain an edge.

Fun game though. Congrats, Mets. Bout time the Mets won something!

Not true. Even floaters have an equal chance to win comps in BB.

Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

I agree with mkind, they had these sorts of events on Survivor in the early seasons, quiz questions and people would have 3 lives, everyone that answered that question correctly can take a life off anyone they choose, if you're on the outs then you get done.

I actually wanted to ask about comps. I wanted to put them in so that people who want to throw them don't have to suffer too much to rand, and people on the outs have a chance to save themselves. However it definitely slowed the game down. We finished in exactly 2 hours, with no comps we would have finished in 1.5 hours. Thoughts?

About the f4 comp. The shooting game was def hard for you to win, but not impossible. There are games in the real version that favor the people in big alliances, and I can't really be expected to make a comp with exactly equal odds for everyone every time.

I think you misread the rules for the poison game. You had as much chance as anyone to win. You should have poisoned yourself since you knew somebody else was gonna poison you.

I could have asked for screenshots of the geography game, but I think all 3 of the finalists had a good enough rep that I could trust them not to lie. Making it so the middle wins makes it a game of luck. Might as well have them pick a number between 1 and 100

Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

Can we get some volunteers to mod games in the future. I don't mind modding a bunch of them, but I want to get opportunities to play myself.

Fwiw to add some spice to it I'm announcing that once 10 of these have run we will play an allstar version with all the winners.

Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

I like having mixture of comps and rands. Maybe half and half?

Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

I'm seriously considering creating a website for this game. Where we dont need a mod. I think this game could get huge.

Re: 9pm EST Big Brother Turbo

I think there were a couple people that did a rather bad job at throwing comps in this game.

If you're gonna throw, it's important to make it at least look like you're trying. That's important to some people, and if they see you not trying that just another way that you can be thrown under the bus.

Btw, I did not try to trow the first shooter game. I was playing on my phone and the chatlog was spammed so I had no idea what was going on and tried to shoot whoever i knew was in the game =) It was lolbad random =)
