Swamp Jeopardy Championship via Zoom

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Wed May 13, 2020 10:02 am

I'm good for Thursday or Sat/Sun. May have a poker game Sat night but it's up in the air.

Lets shoot for tomorrow night at 9:30 then. I'll set up the meeting a little in advance and we can get in for some pre-game trash taking or whatnot.

I may also run it to two rounds because I think the questions I have for the GOATs might not be as challenging as I want. Trying to balance knowledge and fun a bit.

I'll PM TT so he gets a ping.

I'd be down to be in the peanut gallery and provide cheering or mocking, as called for.

TT confirmed he is available. I will share zoom details here tomorrow evening. All spectators welcome, and while I know it will interfere with Movie night, you'll just have to make the hard choices in this instance.

Awesome idea. I'd love to play, for sure.

Was Diamond on Jeapordy too, or just Millionaire?

Just Millionaire. I kind of cursed during my last tryout (June '18), I don't think they'll take me.

After I see how tonight goes, we can start a signup sheet good lord willing and the creek don't rise.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu May 14, 2020 1:29 pm

I am good to go with two rounds. We will run the first and so long as it doesn't take forever and everyones still up for round 2 we can do two rounds with a final jeopardy.

Is there a zoom link?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu May 14, 2020 7:47 pm

I’m gonna set it up soon. Game will start at 930 eastern

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu May 14, 2020 8:11 pm

Waiting for the beast to go the fuck to sleep. Should be on soon.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu May 14, 2020 9:32 pm

Guess what zoom noob forgot to hit record?

Shit. Sorry. It was fun.

TT got delayed, but Rass gamely stepped in. It came down to final Jeopardy and BSF used wagering acumen to defeat rass by one point. Chedda fought back from a rough first round to be competitive.

Few kinks I'd like to figure out, but pretty fun.

Thanks you guys for humoring me.

Bsf 6401
Rass 6400
Chedda 4200

TT will have dibs on first game after goats.

Good job, AB.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Thu May 14, 2020 9:55 pm

Definitely a lot of fun. Thanks, AB.

Oops did I bump this?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sat May 23, 2020 4:39 pm

I’ve been working on questions. I inexplicably had to do work this week.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Sat May 23, 2020 4:51 pm

Training hard! I'll be ready if "Potent Potables" is a category.

You know what would bring us all together right now?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Jun 02, 2020 7:36 pm

You guys pick a day(not today) and I’ll be ready.

I have some notes on my desk that if someone random saw might alert the authorities.

And sorry I spent several hours today five hundred feet underground.

It's amazing that in 2020 coal mines are still a thing.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Jun 02, 2020 8:09 pm

Can it be tomorrow to commemorate the three combined games we won?

So...I will likely have availability this Sunday or Monday. Do either of those dates work well for our swamp luminaries?

Both work for me - Sunday is preferable.

Ready for my call up for the ToC once you guys crown some more winners. I'm saying I get an automatic bid a la Teacher's Tournament winner. Fight me about it.

That was equal to a teen tournament win at best.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:00 am

Yes to either night

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 2:41 pm

Sorry I missed this. I can do either night too.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 2:42 pm

Sweet. Let's shoot For Sunday. I'm very flexible on time as the woman is out of town. I would assume something in the evening no earlier than 7 but I can probably do as late as 830-9. I think the last one took a bit over an hour.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:32 pm

I suggest you use a different method to determine who buzzed in first than was used in the last one.

I sure don't know what else I can do outside of the chat feature. I'm open to anything that can work, but it going to the speaker and me calling ont he first face I saw didn't work too badly. I think Chedda's network was part of the issue.

At least, rather than have them all say "buzz", and have to work out which said it first, you could have them each say something different, such as A, B, and C, or 1, 2, and 3. The last go-round, I usually had no idea who said "buzz" first.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:41 pm

I realize i sounded a bit bitchy. Didn't mean to do that, my bad. Your idea has merits.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:42 pm

No worries. I know you are going to a lot of work, and I don't mean to play armchair quarterback. Just a suggestion.
