I need to go to sleep also, but I'll leave one question on the table before I turn-in...

Nite all.

if it is later determined the i answered a question incorrectly i will gladly give up my point in the game to whom ever the TO wants

Answers such as "No -- 90% certain" are a fair way to respond and there is no need to give up your points. Any small discrepancies should be pointed out by those who know once the answer has been found.

Oh, and this thread isn't fizzling. I rather doubt it will fizzle so long as I moderate it and offer cash prizes.

Good point. We need a way to close a stumper. I'm not sure we should award points for it though. The intention of the game is discovery, not obfuscation. I think it will need to be determined by dead response time.

I move that any riddle that goes unquestioned for longer than 6 hours, be closed with the answer given. The riddler does not have the option of riddling again immediately after. Sound good?

I think that should be sufficient, since I was never expecting this to be a constant red-hot thread anyway. So long as people are still involved and playing is what matters.

At the end of the current riddle, I intend to recreate the thread as "I Spy 2". Scores will carry over and a few rules will be refined.. I'm willing to hear any additional suggestions you might have regarding the refined rule set. The primary one I'm considering is giving the riddler the option to decline up to 3 questions.

And thank you all for your interest and involvement. I was stunned by the way this thread exploded in the beginning.

no worries whys, i enjoy your threads, and this one is great for the forum, just bump it up every so often and it could explode again

Whys · 01/15/2009, 07:37 AM

Just reminder Michael, since you didn't want to read all the posts... if you win the cash, converting it is your trouble.

Whys · 01/15/2009, 09:31 AM

This thread is now closed. Please do not ask additional questions or give additional answers.

This thread will be moved shortly to another thread called "I Spy 2" and scores will carry over.
