I second that.
Also I suggest the winner be in charge of the next round.

I second both of those. This game has been great fun for the last few weeks. And I just realized with some sadness that it's about to be over with more more than another round left. Some day I hope Jon will let us know where he gets all the pictures of the wonderfully obscure villains. I think that's been my favorite part.
And if the winner is in charge of the next round, I could move up from perpetual third place maybe.
My thinking was to 1) eliminate part of the top competition and give others a chance, and 2) provide motivation or de-motivation for people to play (de-motivating those who aren't interested in running it)
Side note: this round would be so nail bitingly close between Rob and I if I hadn't missed a day.
So if I win I would have to do the next round? Maybe it's time to tank it...
It was very close for a while and I have to admit to feeling more stress about when the questions come out than I should!
Yeah, if you missed a day or set you could easily fall behind. That is part of the fun of it being random. I will have to check with Bobbi to see if there is another way we can run this type of thing but not through the forum but with comments on a dedicated page.

Glad you guys like it. I enjoy running it (I have a lot of downtime at work). =)
If anyone wants to take over after this round, let us know! But if not, I can run a new round in a new thread (I’ve got no shortage of questions).

I’d scan images if I had to – but I’ve never had to. I’m now convinced that, since I found a pic of Rob Callender via Google so easily, there’s no comic character that isn’t online somewhere. :b

The Rules --- Please Read!
1. A player may answer one question per update. If a player correctly answers more than one, he or she will be credited with the lowest-point question correctly answered (and any other answers will be up for grabs).
2. If two or more people correctly answer a question and their posts have the exact same timestamp, they'll both get full credit for it.
3. An edit time counts as the time an answer was posted, so be sure to be careful when editing a post.
4. I screw up the scores sometimes, so just tell me if I didn't award you points when I should have (or otherwise messed up), and I'll fix it ASAP. And I don't have any set time when I update this; I just do it whenever I have time to. :b
5. Have fun. =)
