    Default [GAME] Minority Game (Approved by LV)

    Update to game play

    At the beginning of each round, I will post "Is X better than Y?" where X and Y are pokemon chosen by the randomizer from hangman. Over the next 24 hours, anyone interested may PM me with "yes" or "no". At the end of the round, I will tally the votes. If there are more votes for "yes" than there are "no", then all the players who voted "no" will receive a Y plushie, similar to the hangman ones. If there are more votes for "no" than there are "yes", all the players who voted "yes" will receive an X plushie.

    So, you want to be in the minority.

    I think everyone should tell the truth in this round then... Battle of the sexes style.

    A grand total of 4 players. Not as many as I was hoping, but we'll see how we go.

    Answers for this round:
    Yes: Sonickrazy, Ayeun
    No: Oslo, Mikachu Yukitatsu

    It's a tie. No eliminations.

    New question: "When it comes to rock/ground pokemon, Geodude is superior to Onix?"

    I'll allow extra players jumping in at this stage, by the way. I plan on running this on another site, with a reward being given to the winner, but this allows us to see how the game would progress.

    I dunno what's available. I know hangman has plushies, but that's about it.

    The plushies from Hangman are virtual gifts. You can make up your own.

    Oh... I'm up for suggestions. I can use the plushie idea, with questions similar to the above. If that's the case, each round will consist of me looking up two pokemon, and saying "Is Pokemon A better than Pokemon B?" The people who vote for the minority will get a plushie matching for what they voted for.

    If other people have better ideas, I'll steal them hear them out and probably use them.

    Votes for yes: DarkestLight, Oslo, Sonickrazy
    Votes for no: -

    Nothing happens as far as plushies go.

    The next question is:
    Is Voltorb superior to Silcoon?

    The people who vote for the minority will receive the appropriate plushie. Ties receive nothing.

    Yay! A result!

    YES: Mikachu Yukitatsu,
    NO: Oslo, Dogfish44

    Mikachu Yukitatsu wins a Houndour plushie!

    New question: Is Bronzong superior to Grimer?

    Also, I'm thinking I should extend this to a week-long thing. Thoughts?

    Hahaa! Thanks for the prize!

    I think you could randomize the time limit from 1 to 7 days to see the best results. Like, what would it be like within 3 days?
