I was not around for this either... was watching the boys' Baseball games -- freezing my rear off in 35 degree temps w/ rain. brrrrrrrr I'm still warming up.
Anyway, not that I understand this new host game either, but from what I am reading there was only a winning prize of a Burger Tee, and no losing prize correct? I just want to update the Guides correctly.
You are correct: there was no loser prize. Five ppl at a time went into the room, and sat on 5 gumdrops. Once she said "go" you had to walk (race) to the other side of the room where there were 4 gumdrops placed; if you didn't get a gumdrop, you had to walk over the the opposite side again, and take the teleporter. The four who were left then raced back to the other side again (once she said GO) and now there were only 3 gumdrops....get the picture here? Kind of like the good old fashioned party game Musical Chairs.
If you were the last person on a gumdrop, you won. There were many problems with this game: lag, not seeing things properly on the screen, ppl getting booted left and right. I have heard from friends that Jade was in a foul mood. I personally accidentally jumped off of my gumdrop too early; nervous trigger finger! She had rules that if you did that, you got an immediate boot. Well she booted the person sitting next to me by accident O_O
She couldn't believe she made that mistake and eventually she got the person back in. In the meantime though, I apologized to Jade and told her she could go ahead and boot ME; the other players in the room however were pleading my case: one was saying that it was kind of hard not to be nervous and accidentally hit the mouse. Jade made a comment something like "Well you would not believe how many ppl do that, and it's not fair to those who can wait patiently!". Came across as very snotty. When I apologized again and told her to go ahead and boot me, she said "You can stay but I hope you learned your lesson Flamanette!". I was like, hmmm, ok, I am NOT a two year and what lesson would you like me learn here exactly?
The walking in this room was really difficult; guess it goes back to the grid thing. Also, there were who could literally FLY to the gumdrop, not having take a single walking step....ummm!
All in all, I think the ideas they are coming up with ARE neat. But they are not thinking things through and trying to work out the potential problems. This game last night gets a
from me.
