Game Rules & Additional Info

1.) 3 contestants will be picked at random from the audience to participate in the day's game.
Contestants will be given the chance to introduce themselves. There may be shows that consist of 3 previous First Place winners. These will be announced at the least one week in advance after contacting said winners and verifying that they will be available.

2.) The game shall consist of 3 rounds of approximately 10 minutes each.
2a.) Round one: All questions shall be worth 5, 10 or 15 million Inf.
2b.) Round two: All questions shall be worth 10, 15 or 20 million Inf..
2c.) Round three: Only the player with the highest Inf Value earned in the previous two rounds may participate in round three. The host will ask a series of 10 questions. All questions will be worth 30 million Inf!
2d.) There will be no penalty for a wrong answer in any round!


3.) All contestants will be required to "Buzz In" in the Request Channel to answer.
This is most easily accomplished by making sure chat is set to go to request (By clicking the small r button above the chat input area) and hitting their "Ready" key (usually f7) on the keyboard. Custom "Ready" messages may be used but anything inappropriate may result in a request to change said message or disqualification. In the event that a player shouts an answer without buzzing in, the answer will be ignored and time will still be given for the other players to buzz in and answer. A player shall have 30 seconds to answer after buzzing in. Once any player has buzzed in only their answer will be counted for the question. If they answer incorrectly a new question will be asked.

4.) Each player is given 1 (one) NerfBat at the beginning of the game.
This can be used at any time by buzzing in and saying they wish to use their NerfBat. The NerfBat FORCES any other player (of the NerfBat player's choice) to answer the question that has just been asked. A reasonable amount of time will be given based on the difficulty of the question (Usually 30 to 45 seconds). In the event the player chosen is unable to answer the question, the person playing the NerfBat gains the value of the question. If however the player IS able to answer they gain twice the value of the question.

5.) The game shall take place in Request chat.
The audience is asked to please keep chatter to Broadcast or Local chat and please refrain from answering questions.

6.) At the end of the game all contestants will be given their winnings.
There will also be special prizes given to lucky audience members chosen at random. The prizes are awarded (also at random) during the course of the game so it pays to watch the whole show!

7.) Inappropriate language or unsportsmanlike conduct will be grounds for disqualification.
Disqualified players will not be paid or allowed to participate in future games.


So, if you're smart, or you just want a chance to earn some cash come on down and try your hand at the newest and craziest way to win some Inf. Just remember that no matter how much you walk away with...

IT'S TRIVIAL!

P.E.R.C. Presents: Memory Lane
April 16th - 30th
What:
Every character has a defining moment in their career; maybe they stopped a powerful Archvillain in their tracks, saved their team from immenient peril, or perhaps they are that cackling villain who constantly stymies the heroes. Do you have such a story to tell? We want to read about it!

P.E.R.C. is looking for stories that show off what you consider your favorite character's crowning achievement. What made that character stand out to you? What daring plan did you pull off (or thwart)? Here's your chance to share the tale and potentially win a prize for your creativity!

When:
Entries will be accepted from April 16th until April 30th.

Prizes:
Ten stories from the top 20 we pick will be randomly selected and awarded a prize. In addition to that, 5 qualifying stories will be picked by the judges and awarded a "Judge's Favorite" prize.

(10) Random Prizes:
1. 500 mill Inf.
2. 200 mill Inf.
3. 100 mill Inf.

Rules & Additional Info:

We will only accept the first story submitted by a player. You may edit and update the story as you see fit until the deadline of April 30th.

2) Your story must be between 150 and 600 words long.
While Flash Fiction is an artform in and of itself, this is a short story contest. The maximum length helps keep entries manageable from a judging standpoint.

3) You may attach a screen shot of your character.
This is optional, but encouraged. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." You may insert the image in your post, or you can e-mail it to us at PERC.COH@GMail.com.

4) Please submit your story in a reply to this post.

5) Prizes will be awarded on North American servers.
The group funding this event is limited to NA servers, and due to current global e-mail restrictions we are only able to award prizes to players also on NA accounts.

If you have any questions about event rules/details, please feel free to contact a P.E.R.C. representative by replying to this thread or sending them a private message.

Good luck, and happy writing!
