Although the last event could be labeled as a bit of a disappointment, there's another Jeopardy planned. Actually, if you read the topic title, there are two events planned. Also, at the end of the first jeopardy, a small but special surprise will be set up for the chats.


Where and when?

In the chats, go to #psypokejeopardy for Friday, August 17th at 8:00 PM EST and/or Saturday, August 18th at 8:00 PM EST.

For information on joining the chats, go here. Once you're connected, type in "/join #psypokejeopardy" and press enter.


How does it work?

Just like normal Jeopardy, Psypoke Jeopardy consists of the same question format for answers and the same category-choosing methods. The dollar amounts are the same (and are treated as Psybucks), and this will be how you are scored. You do lose Psybucks for wrong answers, and you can go into negatives. In the chance that you finish with a negative score, you won't lose any Psybucks. And seeing as questions are in quantities ranging from 200 to 2000 Psybucks, there's plenty of potential to earn massive amounts.

Questions work much differently than normal trivias and are presented under +m. After three seconds of reading the clue, -m will be set. After that, the first to "buzz-in" gets to answer it. He/she will be given a temp +v and +m will be reset. Ten seconds is then allowed to give the answer. Once "TIME!" appears, if the answer is wrong, the person is devoiced and -m is set again to take in more "buzzes." This continues until a correct answer or there are five incorrect answers.

Now, the buzzing works like this: the first person to say "buzz" (and only "buzz") will be selected. This requires good timing/reaction skills and sometimes a good internet connection. If you get the answer wrong, you can buzz-in again, but you can still lose Psybucks for more incorrect answers. If an answer is incorrect and isn't the fourth incorrect answer or a minute hasn't passed, there will be a two-second delay before -m is reset to allow another buzz-in. When the question is over, the winner of the question gets to choose the next category and amount.

Other than that, most normal things apply. The first round is normal and followed by a break, the second is a "double" round with another break, and there is a final Jeopardy in which anyone can participate. Daily Doubles are also included. All of these will be explained during the actual event.


Rules:

(this applies to what happens during the event)

1. Do not argue if you thought that you buzzed in before someone else. The entire process is scripted, and it is based on what appears on my screen only.

2. Do not PM any ops, especially me. If you have a complaint/question/whatever, wait until a break.

3. Do not use /me.

4. Do not use any reference materials (such as the site).

5. Answers must be given in a question format such as "What is Pikachu?". This will be taken loosely, but drastic mixups between "where" and "who" will be called incorrect. (Pokemon are considered as "what"s)

6. You must use your forum name to receive any prizes. Various exceptions are allowed, but ask first.


Prizes:

Top three:: A special trainer card ribbon for placing.

First place (non-staff): Earned Psybucks x 2 and temporary op status in #psypoke.

Second place (non-staff): Earned Psybucks x 2 and temporary voice status in #psypoke.

Third place (non-staff): Earned Psybucks x 2.

All participants: All the Psybucks they earned. Again, if it is a negative, nothing will be earned. A new trainer card participation ribbon will also be granted.


Questions:

How much different is this from a normal trivia?
The biggest difference is how you answer questions. It is possible to lose points, and you have to buzz-in before you answer. The question format for answers is slightly different, too. Similarities are basically in the knowledge bit, and it has the same trivia-like "atmosphere" to it. Benefits of Jeopardy comparatively include the amazingly high Psybucks amounts, an ability for everyone to score more easily or get back into contention for the lead, and the addition of small strategies (picking higher questions and the like).

Why should I go?
Because it's something really fun and worthwhile. Even though it may not be hosted by an Elite or Lite, it's still a community event for fun.

Are the questions Pokemon-related?
Yes, but there is a special category for random knowledge.

What time is it in my time zone?
Click the link and find out.

Do I have to go to both/can I only go to one?
Each one is separate event, so you can go to both or just one if you like. Scores won't carry over and prizes will be rechosen. Different questions will be used, and the experience will be just as great from either one (and doubled if you go to both).

Is there freezing?
No. There are no extra restrictions like this.

Does only "buzz" work for buzzing in?
Yes, so you better type it out first and wait for -m to press enter. Even missing a "z" or using colors would cause the script to skip over you.

How long are the #psypoke op/voice prizes?
A week. If you manage to earn two of these (one in each jeopardy), they would be in effect for two weeks. Likewise, if you get one of each, you get opped the first week and voiced the next.




Wrap-Up 1

Jeopardy got a better crowd this time, although it would still be small for trivia standards. Four people finished in positives this time, with three at the neutral mark. The huge point questions really tore up the standings in parts of the event, and daily doubles and final jeopardy nearly changed the entire order.

Wrap-up 2

Jeopardy's apparently growing in popularity as it carries on. A good crowd was here for this one. Even better, more people finished in the positives than negatives this time. Huge new record scores were set after some brave/stupid bets in final jeopardy. The varying scores in Jeopardy just goes to show how easily someone can pull ahead or drop down quickly. For later events, I might show what scores were at the half and before final jeopardy.

And the secret surprise thing...

...was not the PsyBlog like some people may have thought, but it is something very different. It is the !trivia I designed for the #psypokejeopardy room. If I'm online, trivia is on, and enough people are present, you can type !trivia to start a new round. Go in the chats to learn more about it. It will be active almost any time I'm in there, so if you gather enough people without annoying #psypoke (or especially other channels), you can come in and have some fun.


Also, I have no idea when there will be another Jeopardy/Trivia/anything. My schedule should end up being much busier this school year, which is why I decided to have a last one before it started for me. If I manage to find enough time off, I may set something up in a few months. Until then, do not bother me about it. In the meantime, !trivia should be enough.

I want to double check -

Can you choose the question? Like, go to another category, and start with the 1000 psybuck question?

Or is it you choose the category and value?

If I'm not mistaken, you choose category and value.

We did that last time, so I'd assume it's the same.


Tiger edit: Yes, and it's found in one of the many sentences of the first post: "When the question is over, the winner of the question gets to choose the next category and amount."

How long would the voice and op status last?

A week, just like trivias. I'll add that to the first post as well.

First wrap-up posted. Don't forget about the second one, too.

Um... wait, which ribbon is the Jeopardy ribbon? I don't think my TC has it...

Edit: Oh wait, yeah, there it is. I guess it just hadn't loaded yesterday.

if you dont have a trainer card and you order one, the ribbon should be on it, right? And if you participated in both jeopardys, will 2 ribbons show up or just 1?

s S OuT!

Second wrap-up posted, including details about the surprise thing.

You guys like my mad skills? -5200 8D

Party in #psypokejeopardy!

it's really fun, everyone should definitely give it a go
