What is it?

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. Seven 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 fifth incorrect answer, 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.

Remember, this is the first time this has been run, so it may take a couple questions to get used to the different feel from trivia. This is also a trial to see whether or not to do more of these later.


Where and when?

In the chats, go to #psypokejeopardy for Saturday, August 4th at 4:00 EST.

For information on joining the chats, go here.


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:

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.

Is there freezing?
No, but this is only a test run right now, so this might change for later events.

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" might cause the script to skip over you.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wrap-up

Participation was less than hoped for, but the people that showed up certainly made it worthwhile. Other than some pauses because of inexperience on both parts, it ran very smoothly and even received a long encore of various trivia-like things. A surprise round was also revealed after the Jeopardy ended and received a warm welcome. The Jumble Jam's debut will follow the Jeopardy questions.

Final scores:

1st place: Gardevoir 6300
2nd place: Krisp 3599
3rd place: Sanctuary 3199

Post-Jeopardy Stuff

The Jumble Jam info (as posted then):

I print out ten questions at the same time in a mixed up order, and anyone can answer as many of them as they like (the first correct gets the point). There is a one minute time limit, but it will stop early if all questions are answered before time runs out.

This is the only time when spelling counts. The process is scripted to make this run much more smoothly and so people can know what questions haven't been answered. So in order for it to count an answer correct, it must be correctly spelled.

Also, answering a question so that the script comes into effect requires a special order: "number answer" (ex: "2 Pikachu" or "10 Hyper Beam"). Do not put anything extra in like a period after the number. It isn't much, but it is necessary.

During the minute countdown, a display of questions left to be answered are presented at 30 and 15 seconds. A small note will also be presented when there is a correct answer. There will be two rounds, with a very small break in between.

Questions used in each round:

Introductory round

Do we have to answer in Jeopardy format ("What is...")? And are you sure that seven seconds is long enough for someone to type their answer out, especially if we need to include the "what is..." part?

Does that answer your question?

Seven seconds should be plenty of time if you know what the answer is. Trivia usually takes three seconds between the question and answer flood, so I'd think that three seconds to read and decide to buzz or not and then seven more seconds to type out the answer is enough time. If anyone comes to the chats and asks me to show how it works, I'll try to do so (supposing I'm online).
