Players needed:
3 contestants
RULES:
At the start of the Jeopardy round, 6 categories containing 5 clues each are revealed. Each category contains satoshi values ranging from 100 to 500 satoshis (in 100 satoshi increments). The champion (or first player to sign up for the first game) selects a category and a satoshi value; a clue is revealed.
Once the host has given a signal and the answer has been revealed, any of the contestants may buzz in using some variation of the word "BUZZ" in the chat. Once a player is acknowledged as having buzzed in in chat, they have 20 seconds to give their answer in chat. Their answer MUST be in the form of a question (e.g. Who is Abraham Lincoln?); in this round, failing to do so for the first time will result in a cautious reminder.
Giving a correct response earns the satoshis associated with the clue and the right to pick another clue from the board. Giving an incorrect response subtracts the satoshis associated with the clue, and allows another player to ring in.
If nobody buzzes in within 10 seconds of the clue being revealed, or within 10 seconds of an incorrect answer being acknowledged, the correct response is given and play continues with the last player to select a clue selecting another clue.
However, one clue on the board conceals a DAILY DOUBLE. The player who finds the one clue with the Daily Double can wager any or all of their satoshis (but they must wager at least 5 satoshis). If they have less than the top value in the round, they can wager up to that much. Correct answers add the wagered satoshis, incorrect answers take away the wagered satoshis. Whether or not the response is right, they then select again.
Play in the round continues until either all clues have been used or the host gives a signal that the round is over.
The game then moves into DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
Double Jeopardy! is essentially the same as the first round, except values on the board now go from 200 to 1,000 satoshis, and TWO Daily Doubles are on the board. Failing to phrase a response in the form of a question will incur no reminder; instead, the player will have 15 seconds to correct their phrasing, otherwise it will be counted as incorrect, whether or not it was correct.
At the end of this round, players with at least one satoshi in their score advance to...
FINAL JEOPARDY!
One more category is revealed, and the contestants PM the host wagers between 0 satoshis and their current score. Once the wagers are in, the final clue is revealed, and the contestants then have 1 minute to PM their response (still phrased in the form of a question). After that, we reveal the responses and the wagers; as in a Daily Double, contestants who provide correct questions are awarded the amount they wagered; contestants who provide incorrect questions (or fail to phrase the response in the form of a question) have their wager subtracted. The player with the most satoshis wins, keeps their full total, and gets to play the next game, while second and third place get 2,000 and 1,000 satoshis respectively (totals under 5,000 satoshis will be kept track of, and paid out once the player reaches a total of 5,000 satoshis in a future game hosted by Twentington). If the game finishes with a tie for first place, the tied players both win their scores and return in the next game.
Champions may return for up to 5 games.
