You can only post if you have been tagged by the previous person. You may only post "Tag: (username)". Any other posts will be removed and grossly breaking this rule will result in being removed from the contest. You must tag someone else in this thread only. One you have been tagged you have 2 hours to respond. The top 5 people will win. Once someone does not respond within 2 hours - I will remove them from the list of active users and tag someone else at random.

You know I live on the Washington DC area, lost power Friday at 10 pm did not get it back until Sunday at noon, that is why I did not even know of this game. Too bad It look like fun.
Kohler....
To be fair to those how live in those areas who lost power, I think they should be added back on the list because those circumstances were beyond their control. What do ya think?? :dontknow:
We will do this again to make up for those who could not play - but adding them now will make the game longer and if I let one come back - I would have to let them all come back

Kohler, what is the rule on overnight/early morning time? For example, Patty4me was tagged at 11:02pm and responded 8:03 am. And likewise Ishmahel was tagged at 10:14 am and replied at 12:39am. I understand there is up to 3 hour time difference, but didn't know if that was calculated into the mix or what.
If you are tagged at night and make it up before I do in the morning - then you are fine. I do not expect people to be up on a weekday night at 3am every night.

It was over night? Others have done the same throughout the game. The overnight rule was explained. I didn't expect people to stay up for a week straight to play, and if you posted before I got up at 8am PST then you were fine. This was stated more than once.
Example:

You all will be paid the same amount for playing. Top 5 will get extra still.
The rules were unclear - as there was no time for the night time to be cut off. People have complained about this as well as other aspects of the game. I tried to do something different, aside from having you guys fill out a standard form week in and week out and this one was a failed experiment. It happens.

If several more days pass with no one getting out - either we can split the money between everyone or move the time down to reply from 2 to 1 hours with specific hours for cut off for night time and morning.
I will let the remaining users decide.

Tag: mperez7372
I would be fine splitting the pot with all users. I think we earned it. What does everyone else think?

I would agree with that!
I say let the game go one more day.It's obvious no one is going out at this point.

I would be ok with a split pot as well.
-
If people were actually put out like the rules state, i.e. jedijohnnie, oryon20, madaho things would go a lot faster. Jedijohnnie and oryon20 both posted past 2 hours and were allowed to stay and madaho was put out. Things don't seem fair. I would not want to split the pot with these people or anyone else who was allowed to stay unfairly while other people are put out. It seems some members are receiving special treatment.
-
Also, to be fair and let everyone make a fair decision, I think we should be told how much each would get if 5 were left and how much we would get if it was split between everyone that's left. That way we can make an informed decision.
-
The amount per 5 people would have been:
1st - 1.50
2nd - 1
3rd - .75
4th - .50
5th - .25
So 4 dollars total

How would it be decided who gets what place?

I'm sure he was up today when you took over 2 hours to respond. :bs:

Split means the 4 dollars would be split between who is left.

Better add your name to that list then, Stealth991. If you want it to be followed to a 'T' with the enforcing of a hard 2 hour limit, you also should be out then.
Tag: Stealth991
Tag: ladavia89
That's 12 seconds over 2 hours. Late is late. By your argument, you should be gone... whether it's 12 hours or 12 seconds. Not to mention you're arguing overnight ones and yours was during the middle of the day.
There's going to come a point where there won't be anything like this anymore, since it always seems like someone isn't happy. Sad. :angry7:
-
I was sure wanting that 1st place but yea I vote to wrap it up too. Evidently newbie's don't realize that ppl strive to get along on this website so this can be an enjoyable experience. I think you've done a really good job Kohler and appreciate the opportunity.
-

Sounds like a soooore looooser.......

Sore loser? Newbie? Just because I don't post on this forum doesn't mean I don't have years of experience with GPT sites or forums. It sounds like you people say hmm He posts a lot, he can stay, oh look a "newbie" lets kick him out. Seems like there's a click here and the people who are "newbies" because they don't post as much are kicked to the side. And how am I a loser if I post within the time limit and complain about those who don't?
Kohler: Am I wrong? Seriously, I am wrong to complain about people staying who post past the time limit like the rules clearly state? Prove to me that I am wrong and I'll accept defeat. But I am going by clear facts. Show me how I am wrong. Show me how these people can stay.
-
Since some people have been complaining so much about a simple game I vote just wrap it up and split it. If we can't be mature about it then it doesn't need to continue
I'm pretty sure all of use have actually gone over the time limit at some point

Oh, someone else can do math too. Good for you. :thumbsup:
If its 12 seconds past, technically its exactly 2 hours going by the hour. 12 or 13 hours is a little different. Jedi was during the middle of the day as well. :wave:

Seriously, if you look at the timestamps of the people you say are "out", it's at those times of day when, well, they may not be awake yet.
By your logic I should have been out too, because I posted a little late once -- I woke up late because I was sick. Whoop-dee-doo, let's penalize me for it!
I think the way the game has been run has been fair for the vast majority, and I see no reason why those remaining shouldn't split the pot up and enjoy the bonus together. It was a fun game, and it was run as fairly as possible in my opinion, and that's that. At the end of the day, it IS a game, and it IS a bonus, so I see no reason why one should take it extremely seriously...Anyways, my vote is for the "end the game and split the cash" option.

As I stated before, I know no one on this site on a personal level. I do not care who wins or who is out - it was meant to be a fun thing to do. You posted over by 12 seconds, should you have been removed? Probably, but I let you stay. Overnight was an oversight on my part - I did not mention when it should stop or restart - and therefore users who got up before me and beat me before I posted they were out, were left. There was two instances that people posted right as I removed from the original list. These users did not complain as they were removed from the game.

I'm done arguing with children. Kohler do what you want. I'll take what I get. FYI, this is why I don't post on the forum here.

Don't post then. No one forces you to use the forum or participate in promotions. Sorry that you felt slighted against.
Since the majority has asked to wrap it up - we are wrapping it up and paying out everyone evenly

This is a good point.I woke up late today and barely posted before kohler did.It's not my fault if I still woke up earlier than him! ;D
-
You guys have been paid 40 cents per. It came out to .36 cents per if you evenly divided it, but I am more of a round number kind of guy.
-
Thanks Kohler. :thumbsup:
-
The prevailing opinion seems to be to end it immediately. My vote would be to change it to a 1 hour window and implement the cutoff times effective immediately. If by Saturday morning there are still more than five people left, at that point split the pot and call it a game. By Saturday, the game would have lasted for two weeks, which seems like a good cutoff.
But, whatever is done, I appreciate you running the game, Kohler, for the last 1.5+ weeks.
-
thank you Kohler. I personally enjoyed this game very much and do hope we get to do it again
-
For the next one it will be that I post a phrase, and then you have x amount of time to reply back. Starting from something like 5 hours down to 30 minutes or less (depending on how the game went).
Ideas? Thoughts? Any possible hiccups in the game?
Also if you posted even 1 second late - you would be removed from the game.
-
My only advice would be make sure there is a firm start/stop time for the game that everyone clearly understands.(If that's applicable)
-
With the new one - It would be random when I post. It obviously would not be in the middle of the night. But, I will post the possible start/end times for all to see.
-
Sounds good. Only thing I might suggest is to not have set times you plan to post your quote. If everyone knows you're going to post each day at say 12:00, 5:00, and 8:00, they'll know exactly when to check and how long they have. It could potentially take weeks, or even months, to get down to the number of people to win. I'd suggest that when you post the quotes, it's at random times every day. The one thing which made the tag game interesting was you knew you had to checking in all day to stay in.... you couldn't just "check-out" at 6:00pm, say, until the next day.
I would just make it in the rules that you wouldn't post a quote during a specified time range every night (say 10pm-8am PDT). Last thing needed is another repeat of what happened in this game.

Correct - I would post the times I would not post and then post any time that is not in those times. Therefore it could be noon one day and 10am the next and 5pm after that, etc

Hey Kohler,
I really enjoyed doing this. I hope you consider doing it again.
-
all time zones would need to be taken into acct for it to be fair

And they would be. "Fair" may have to be majority vote.

It was a fun game...and I lasted for quite some time but eventually got booted...no hard feelings. I was at a BBQ, and ate good food. It was a good reason to stay on the site and check in more often. I say we do it again sometime....maybe shorter times with less days or keep it the same...it's all good to me. :thumbsup:
-
Thanks Kohler. It was a fun game. And I think a good trial run. Next time should be smoother. :thumbsup:
-
Thank you Kohler :thumbsup:. This was a fun game, and it had me on FC the whole day LOL.
-
I almost signed up for this promo, but knew I would be at work when it started. I'm glad I didn't sign up seing that it took so long. It would have been hard for me to keep up for a week and a half. I'm glad everyone had fun. Congrats to everyone who won!!
-
Goodness. It's not that serious. No one's life is in danger and no one's bills are going to be any later because of the difference in bonus cash. As I said before, thanks, Kohler, for hanging in there with us. You had to check in as often as we did- times 2 games!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P In my opinion, when someone is trying to do something fun for everyone, you can give constructive criticism, but complaints and accusations do no good. I know I feel that way when I try to do something nice for a family member and they only complain. Why try??? Why would he care who wins? No one is his mama or wife, as far as I know. Blah blah blah. Thanks, Kohler.
