[Game Idea Attempt 2] Alt Attack

After The Swap didn't go as planned, let's try a new one!

So the mechanics or the game will be played as normal, a __ player game, mining, gold-silver(-bronze) all that. No special subs, or specs, or anything.

everyone wrote:but math, that's just a normal game! We want new ideas!

Yes, yes. Remain calm, there's a twist!

I present, Alt Attack!

As seen in the title, the game will either be played in anon, or everyone uses alt accounts.

The real point of the game: you will have to guess who is who. Since it's anon/alts, you won't know who anyone is.

Once every day of the game, you will be allowed to send me your guesses - PM on forums or in-game is fine.

If someone is eliminated, you can still guess at who they are, and they can still guess at everyone else. In fact, you can win even if your are eliminated

The true winner of the game will be whoever can guess the most number of players correctly, in as short a period of time as possible, in only one guess.

Example: if I guess players 1-5 correctly on my first guess, then players 1-3 & 6 in my second guess, my score will still only be 5. If player 2 was to guess 5 correct on his second day, I would come first cause I guessed them first, and he would come second (so long as nobody else guessed 6 right).

I will moderate the game, means I'll have a master list and not be allowed to guess/win the game.

If you wish to sign up, please do 3 things:
1) please please Please do not post on this thread. I don't want anyone to know who all is in the game. It'll be fun when someone guesses Ron or Noel :D
2) send me a PM saying so,etching along the lines of "yo math I wanna play". If I don't send a message back saying something along the lines of "sick man welcome to the game" within 24 hours then start to spam me until I do
3) if and ONLY IF you are playing, please vote in the poll above, and pick 2-3 options, depending on what you want. One from each category, the categories being
a)everyone plays as an alt, or we just play it in anon mode
b) if you selected anon, don't vote here. If you selected alts, do you want to create them or just let me create them and you can change the password later
c) after you guess, feedback would mean I tell you how many you got right, no feedback would mean I just say "guesses noted" and you have no idea how you did

So remember, don't post here! PM me any questions, and I'll post them here. And PM me if you want to,play

Game has finished! Order of player finishes is as follows:

Sir Francis Drake -> Nojo: 6th in game, 5th in guessing (0 correct)
Paclonicy -> Niv: 5th in game, 4th in guessing (0 correct)
Champion of Alts -> Menace: 2nd in game, 3rd in guessing (1 correct in 3rd day Correctly guessed Nojo)
Designer -> Thekorfballer: 3rd in game, 2nd in guessing (1 correct in 1st day Correctly guessed Menace)
ChattNooga -> Blobbydude: 1st in game, 1 in guessing (1 correct in first dayCorrectly guessed Niv)

This was certainly a game where not much happened. Kinda interesting though

someone wrote:But math, if the game is anon, you can just look at when they were last seen and figure it out! We need alts!

Yes! You are very correct. I completely forgot about this, but it is true. So thank you, and, if the polls continue as they are now, it's very likely we'll be playing alts anyway :D

We now have me and 6 unknown players. I will be starting the game in about 48 hours from now I hope. Anybody else that wants to play, sign up now.

As per the vote, alts took a unanimous victory, and player created ones seem the way to go.

I will ask everyone who is playing to vote once more on whether or not they want feedback during the game. This meaning that after every guess, I will tell them how many they got correct. Also, it will mean giving updates every few days as to how many someone has gotten right in one guess. So please vote one more time!
