Status : Offline | It has been fun for me but not so great for those who work long hours or are in time zones way off from JA time. Most of the reason I guessed so many is simply because I'm around more often. I would like to do this again sometime but voted to stop for now. Besides, I have an interesting trivia waiting in the wings, and I think Bastich is cooking up something, too.

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

OK, so we all have more fun when we're winning and there's no way for anybody to know what's in another person's collection or what they'll guess.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, the tourney started out great, but honestly, it's fun factor was diminishing towards the end.
I think it's something we can continue with, but wait a bit before starting another round.

Status : Online | Hm. I have to say, honestly, I don't care whether or not I'm winning. I think it is fun to see what others come up with. But I guess the more you play (and guess correctly), the more pictures you have to post and it might become stressful with a time limit of 24 hours.
Especially if you are working at those times the pictures are guessed.
I'm not objective that way, because I only posted 2 pictures (so far ).

Stop while you're ahead is a saying to live by. That's why I never go to the Casinos.)

Status : Offline | Hm, maybe you should add the option whether you'd prefer, this kind of tournament or the more tradional ones we've come to expect from Aya. My vote would definitely go to the second one. I agree with what Lady K said, people who don't have that much time to spend here on the forum, and/or those living outside the US don't get much of a chance to participate in something like this.
And if it should continue, I think it would be a good idea to round things up every 25 screenshots, and then take a break for a while.

Status : Online | No Wimli, it's not the question what you prefer...poor Aya can't do a trivia all the time and the rest depends on who bothers to think something up. I sure won't.

Well, he doesn't have to think them up all the time, I was just referring to the style of adventure trivia. Let's call it the Aya style from now on. I find that much more fun than this fast lightning approach.

The Aya style - I was just thinking I could do an Aya style trivia using just pics from all 13 Nancy Drew games, and then everybody would have to guess which game it was from. But I think I would be the only one having fun with it.
