Been watching a lot of gameshows because of the lockdown.. mainly The Chase and Tenable but I don't think it's possible to do The Chase as a POG game.. (if anyone has any idea how to make it work go ahead and try!)

Tenable can work though.. basically it's a game where you have to find the top 10 answers to a question and try and win money and get back to your teammates for the final. You need to get at least 5 correct answers to get to the final and start accumulating money.

You have 3 nominates per game which you can use to nominate another member of your team to answer for you if you're unsure (plus there is an overrule button that the team captain can use to overrule a person's answer but I don't see how that will work here, so i'll give an extra nominate instead?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenable - give that a read and if you have any questions how the game works just ask and i'll answer. Will need 5 players, and i'll rand to see who will be team captain.

There are 4 rounds to begin with, each member of the team (bar the captain) faces a question and tries to accumulate money. Everyone has 1 life so can afford to get 1 question wrong, but 2 questions wrong then you're sent to the vortex and unable to play in the final round unless the captain wins you back.

The captain is guaranteed to play in the final round but they have a choice - if they get 5 correct answers they can decide to bring back a member of the team that is in the vortex for the final round or they can accumulate money instead.

The final round consists of another top 10 question but all the members who survived their round (or was brought back by the captain) participate with no conferring.

Errr I think that's everything.. just read the Wikipedia page lol, any questions? Obviously will be no research allowed

Money will be as follows:

10p for 5 correct answers
25p for 6 correct answers
50p for 7 correct answers
£1 for 8 correct answers
£2 for 9 correct answers
£5 for 10 correct answers

Maximum you can win is £25, any winnings will go towards a charity of the team's choice

(I suppose we could play for no money but it makes it a bit more interesting and it is for charity so up to everyone else, £25 is the most I can afford though lol)

Only think I understand about 80% of it, but I'll in.

I'll in

Here's a link to a random episode of the show which might give people a better idea of how it works

Yeah don't have to watch the full episode - just one person's round and the final round to understand it

Also don't worry it won't just be euro-centric questions, i'll be creating my own lol

kind of a mishmash of family feud and the game outburst with a little of who wants to be a millionaire

Warwick's had a pretty good career.

In.

Sure

Sure

That's 5 so can get started

You didn't in did you CF? You'll be first in line for the next one

I'll rand to see who will be team captain in a few mins, it's up to the team captain to pick one of their team members to face a question by the way so would help if you know their strengths/weaknesses from previous POG games!

I'd play for fun but I can't contribute money

Yeah it's for fun, any winnings will be paid for myself

You can be in the next game

Randed the team captain and it is..

Will post Q1 shortly, xander will have to pick someone to answer (no conferring!)

Question 1:

The 10 James Bond films after 'The Man With the Golden Gun'

xander who do you want to play this?

Have you PM'd xander? Probably a good idea if not.

Yeah

There's no overrule in this game since would be difficult and take too long when people aren't around but considering you'd need to wait for me to confirm each answer it gives everyone more time to think which is a bigger advantage I suppose lol

3 nominates per game not per round btw so use them wisely!

This should say the next 10 films but i'm sure that was obvious anyway

By no conferring I mean no-one can volunteer or suggest a player to play a question, it's completely up to the captain.

Although I may change that rule next game since the people who play it on TV know each other in real life.. but stick with it for now, we'll sort out any kinks afterwards

that episode was certainly EXTREMELY british.

especially all the categories...

and wow those guys were like...the most boring guys i've ever seen

Maybe so, but this group of 5 has played many games together.

I expect xander where we are all from and who is likely to do well at a given question.

Yeah that's what I thought, we'll see how this first game works out then sort out any issues after

I'm in for the next round.

So the very next 10 movies? Not just any 10 that come afterwards?

Yeah the very next 10 movies

Also as captain it doesn't make sense to go first because there's no one in the vortex right?

Captain always goes last and is guaranteed to play in the final round you have to choose which team member to play each question

Ok

This might be a huge misstep but I'm thinking this is best for Eric because of his age (no offence intended)

You've never mentioned it but I could see Bond movies being right up your street.
