You get the basic understanding of the game, there's one grey-haired braniac wearing glasses who will ask questions to three unsuspecting souls. Instead of money you play for points, for the first game I will randomly pick a contestant to go first. That person will pick a subject and the point value:
For single jepoardy which will come first: 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000
Then after I read the answer, the first correct question will win and that contestant will choose the next point value, if it is a draw, the last person that gave the first correct question picks another point value. Once all answers have been knocked off the board, we will go to double jepoardy, there will be 6 new categories and the point values will be doubled. 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000.
Any contestant's point value that drops in the negatives by the end of double jeopardy will be eliminated.
At final jepoardy, the final answer will be given and all remaining players will get to answer and choose to risk points. Contestant with the highest point value will win.
So here are the 5 topics for single jeopardy:
Civil War, '80's movies, Parker Brother's, T.V. dinners, Illinois

Ah, I've always wanted to play jeopardy. I assume this is on the honor system, no googling crap? Anyway, count me in.

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Tue Jan 16, 2007 11:49 pm

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:06 am

Reptiles for 200, please.

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:12 am

When this creature is young, it usually eats fish, insects, snails, and crustaceans.

Solid Bismuth · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:16 am

Augh. Too late to join

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:19 am

we're using the honor system, how ever if the questions given seem a little too professional I will suspect some thing.

And don't worry, you can always be a challenger to whoever wins this game.

Solid Bismuth · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:20 am

Alright...

Nope, What is a young alligator
Your turn exhibit A

Inverse Tiger · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:37 am

So no one else gets a chance to answer after someone misses it? (That might be a good idea actually, since otherwise there's no way to have a time limit on the questions.. unless we wait for everyone to give an answer or pass)

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:41 am

D'oh! Should've known, well can't stop it now, Exhibit A your turn to pick a value.

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:48 am

I'll take Reptiles for 400.

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:01 am

This is the only order of reptiles where you can find both viviparous and ovoviviparous species.

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:03 am

What are snakes? (I hope you weren't looking for a technical order name)

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:12 am

(I'm looking for a broader trait...hint-hint)
Inverse Tiger?
King of katamari?

Exhibit A: -400
Tiger:0
King:Zip

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:13 am

Wait, shouldn't Inverse have -200?

Inverse Tiger · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:16 am

If it's not snakes, then I got no idea on this one, so I'll pass

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:27 am

Since it looks like this question has failed, guess I'll have to say whatI was aiming for. What is Squamanta or scaled reptiles.
Exhibit A: -400
Inverse tiger: -600
King of: 0
Exhibit A, once again your turn. choose your value.

Inverse Tiger · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:37 am

ey, that wasn't a guess, I was saying I pass, meaning I wasn't going to answer. I thought it was better than saying nothing

so now I know not to say anything at all when a question's in play

well just because you're curently in last place doesn't mean all hope is lost, there are still some chances

Exhibit A · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 3:14 am

Reptiles for 800.

buhubs · **Posted:** Wed Jan 17, 2007 9:54 pm

There are about 300 species of this reptilian animal.

Inverse Tiger · **Posted:** Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:16 am

What is a turtle?

(Maybe I can win the highest absolute value of points instead of positive value...)

King of Katamari · **Posted:** Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:46 pm

At this rate, I'm going to win.
