F1 Game Show Cup

Alright, here's an interesting idea for you folks: we play Jeopardy ... WITH FORMULA ONE!

Now, the idea is simple enough - I provide a chatroom where we'd meet on a certain day and then we play a vintage round of Jeopardy! I would propose that we do this on the upcoming

Wednesday (1 August 2012), 7 p.m. CEST.

Is there any interest in this? Do you think the time works? Other questions?

Sounds good.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 29 Jul 2012, 01:11

I'll take Nick Heidfeld's victories for 200. :lol:

I might join if I have time.

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 29 Jul 2012, 10:01

Yeah, why not? Although you should make sure that it's over before Midweek Motorsports starts on 9pm cet.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 29 Jul 2012, 11:24

More nonsense blabbering outside this forum? I'm OK with this.

Post by **tommykl** » 29 Jul 2012, 16:16

As long as I'm online at the time, then I'm definitely in

Post by **tommykl** » 01 Aug 2012, 05:37

Sorry for the bump, but is this going ahead or not?

Shadaza · Post by **Shadaza** » 01 Aug 2012, 11:13

That sounds amazing.
I won't be able to take part but if it does go ahead make sure you bring in the chatlog.

Well, here is our location. You have thirty-five minutes to get in there.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 01 Aug 2012, 16:55

Five minutes to the start, feel free to join us.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 01 Aug 2012, 19:09

After agreeing on it, next week's Wednesday will see the Glücksrad Großer Preis where we will play a daring round of Wheel Of Fortune. Wednesday (8 August 2012), 7 p.m. CEST. - same time, same place (hopefully). Everyone is free to join.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 01 Aug 2012, 21:21

Damn Internet left me high and dry when there were still questions left

But what happened with tommykl's result? If he was DSQed for any reason, I could have well won this :twisted:

Bathplug I was asleep.......

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 08 Aug 2012, 14:19

Even though I'm not in charge of this cup, I thought that I should remind you that the next round is today. Hopefully with tommykl being banned. :mrgreen:

How exactly does one play Wheel of Fortune in a chatroom?

P.S. I won't arrive home from work until 1930 CET

I have pondered a bit and I hope I have found a system to make this work. No guarantees for not being rejectful though. :lol:

Then I'd say we start three quarters of an hour later, is that cool with everyone? If so, starting time is now 19:45 CEST

That'd be okay with me.

Oi, we are already five minutes over schedule. Feel free to join us now.

Wheel of Fortune? Like so?

Post by **tommykl** » 08 Aug 2012, 18:34

Spending the evening with my family, so count me out of this one

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 08 Aug 2012, 20:02

The smaller group decided who'd win the Glücksrad Großer Preis and here are the results:

Ferrarist: 1600
UgncreativeUsergname: 5450
kostas22: 7950

So, with the medal system in place, these are the championship standings after two of ??? rounds:
TommyKl: 1 - 0 - 0
kostas22: 1 - 0 - 0
Ferrarist: 0 - 1 - 1
UgncreativeUsergname: 0 - 1 - 0
Phoenix: 0 - 0 - 1

Next week we will leave the realm of Formula One and enter the realm of insanity ... wait, those two are the same thing, never mind ... when we will have fun at the Mario Retardy Grand Prix. Next Wednesday, 18:00 CEST would be my favourite time but I am open for any other date suggestions.

No matter what day I can only manage 1930 CEST at the earliest any weekday.

Is this going ahead?

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 16 Aug 2012, 14:03

No, it is not. Over the weekend up to now I was in the hospital and had to have my gall bladder removed. Since it will be difficult to go ahead in recent weeks due to professional reasons, this game will be in pause until at least mid-September.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 26 Aug 2013, 23:44

Guess what is back? If you guessed this thread: you are right!

We will have a round of "The Weakest Link" either on Thursday or Friday evening. Please tell me what you'd prefer.

Shadaza · Post by **Shadaza** » 26 Aug 2013, 23:45

Count me IN, any time should be fine.

andrew · Post by **andrew** » 27 Aug 2013, 07:33

I may give it a go

Post by **tommykl** » 27 Aug 2013, 07:43

I'm available both days, slight preference for Friday night, though

Since you are the only one to say something about it, we're going to listen to you ... partly.

The Weakest Link round happens tomorrow at 7 pm CEST.

Dragon: So... which one of you signed for Ferrari and ended up driving a Life? Who's going to be slower than Délétraz at Adelaide? It's time to vote off... THE... WKSTLINK!

Voiceover: "Statistically, Jocke1 is the weakest link, having failed to bank any money and gone off on several tangents about Alex Wurz and Nick Heidfeld. Freeze-o-Kimi and Stramala might also be in trouble from stating an obvious but wrong answer and throwing a bottle at a Juventus supporter respectively, losing the team money. tommykl is the strongest link, answering every question correctly bar one because it wasn't about the 1950s."

Dragon: Who have you losers voted for, then? Come on, out with it.

tommykl: Jocke1.

Freeze-o-Kimi: tommykl.

DonTirri: tommykl.

Stramala: tommykl.

Jocke1: tommykl.

dr-baker: Freeze-o-Kimi.

Dragon: Interesting. Freeze-o-Kimi, why tommykl?

Freeze-o-Kimi: Er... well... he got a question wrong, that lost us some money...

Dragon: dr-baker, you voted for Freeze-o-Kimi. Why?

dr-baker: He got the easiest question wrong and all that money tommykl earned for us went down the swanee. Plus, he put "girls are great" in his signature which annoyed me.

Dragon: DonTirri, what about you? What has tommykl done to deserve your vote?

DonTirri: Perkele, I wanted to vote for everyone except me, but if you get a question about Kimi Räikkönen wrong, then I will vote you off.

Stramala: Dinnae talk pish, all of you! Ye all ken tommykl was voted off because he'll win all the money and the restae us have nae chance with him around!

Dragon: So be it. tommykl, you... AREtheweakestlinkgbye!

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 29 Aug 2013, 21:42

I may be interested in this

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 30 Aug 2013, 09:44

I'm not going to be around for this. Thanks for including me in the publicity post though!

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 30 Aug 2013, 16:32

We will start here in 30 minutes. Be ready.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 30 Aug 2013, 18:21

The Weakest Link Weekend saw one man rise above the top and that man is

Shadaza: 25 points

I have thought about a new point system to accomodate for games where there can be only one winner and so these are the new standings:

Tommkly: 27 points
Stramala: 26 points
UgncreativeUsergname: 19 points
Ferrarist: 10 points
Phoenix: 4 points
BlindCaveSalamander: 3 points

I was planning to continue next week on Saturday or Sunday evening with the round of Mario Retardy I promised a long time ago. Watch this space.
