Samanayrs

The Samanayr version of Bingo will be run live on the forum. Each player will receive a randomly-generated Bingo card, and I'll draw numbers until we have a winner! Advanced sign-up will be required to play.

And here's some of the prizes that will be available There will either be multiple games or first place, second place, etc for one game, depending on how long the games actually take.
Bingo sign-ups will open tonight at 6pm PDT! There will be ten spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. To sign up for a spot, all you'll have to do is reply to this thread with the phrase Bingo time! in bold.

The game itself will start tomorrow at 6pm PDT. I'll hand out the digital Bingo cards about 15 minutes before the game starts! The cards will just be GIF images, so you can keep track by marking called squares in Paint or another image editing program, or by printing out the card and marking it by hand.

I've never done Bingo like this before, so I'm not sure how long it's going to take. I would guess one or two hours, though.

If you've never played Bingo before, here's how it works! Your card has 25 squares - 24 of them have numbers, and the center square is the 'free' square (ie you always have it marked off). I call out a number, such as B3, and if you have that number you mark it off on your card. The winner of the game is the first person to get whatever that particular round calls for, such covering as a row or column of numbers, an X from one corner to another, or just covering the four corners.

Shiny fancy new mid-game rules! (new/changed rules in bold)

- Because only one game is being played, there is a limit of one prize per person!
- The first person to get a Bingo will get first pick of the three prizes, the second person to get a Bingo will get second pick, and the third person to get a Bingo will get the remaining prize.
- If you signed up but then discover you won't be able to play after all, please try to let me know so that we can give your spot away to a different player.
- If you're not following the game closely and discover that you should have had a Bingo several numbers ago, or in the previous game, the prize will still go to whoever calls the Bingo first. If two people get a Bingo on the same number, it will be considered a tie.
- In the case of a tie, the winner will be determined randomly.
- If you've got a Bingo (eg you're the winner), just post Bingo! and I'll check your card!

Good luck, see you then!

Info posted about the sign-ups and the games themselves! Hope it's easy to understand XD

Im so excited! Ill def be here for this

Assuming I don't forget, I am looking forward to joining in on this!

*collapses* Oh goody, I'm back in time XD Was worried I missed them XD

Twill be starting at 2:00 pi time... so thats in what? 4 hrs? o.o;;

Wow... ive got alot of stalking to do 0_<

I just realized that there's no live clock or anything on the forum, and 6pm might happen at a different time than everyone else, soooooo.. as soon as I post Sign-ups are open, they'll be open!

Lol thats why i have my clock on this forum as PST. XD lol


I had that problem before.

Rikku, how do you do that? Set it to another timezone, I mean?

Go under your user control panel, Click on board Preferences on the left side.


Then it will have My Timezone: and a scroll down box.

Put it for Pacific Standerd time and BINGO! your set.

Sweet! I'm now on Sushi-time

I actually have a computer clock set on Sushi time... Windows 7 lets you set clocks for up to three time zones (though only one of them appears on the toolbar, the others show when you hover over the time). So...Sushi time clock! 'Tis nice.

Zomgosh! Origami! i didnt know 7 does that XD now i want to go home on my laptop and play with the time. lol

Yup. Click on the time, then at the bottom of that larger display will be a link to 'Change date and time settings...' Second tab is Additional Clocks. So now whenever I hover over my clock I see Local Time and... Sushi Time! Couldn't think of what to set the third one for so it isn't set...

SWEET! Thanks a bunch Origami!

I wish XP could do that....but I'm definitely not ready to make the jump!! D:

Zephyr you mean the step up to windows 7? o.o;;

I don't really need to worry about figuring out what time it is for Sushi because I'm in the same timezone. XD

Bingo Time!
