Game #2828: WTB: Active Store Revamped 3
This game is moderated by jarmihi. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 10 rounds.
Psych question sent!
O hai! Welcome to Jarmihi's Fabulous Game Parlor! (PARTY! -- open in new tab for ultima-fun!)
In this game, the Active Store bazaar makes a freak return as I am bored as all get out of my vacation.
You players can purchase items which allow you to "break" the game. In order to earn points to purchase the items, you must be an active player. Each post that follows the rules is worth one point. Completing challenges will earn you more points. Some items are easy to get and unlimited in number, while others require you to complete challenges to be able to purchase and are few in number if not singular.
In Round 0, if you post once, you earn a point before the game even begins!
Also, if you all could post the time zone in which you currently reside, that would be great for time co-ordination. Thanks! -- Jarmihi

Hi everyone!
I haven't played a WTB game in ages...
My time zone is CET (GMT + 1).
I haven't played a WTB game in ages...
My time zone is CET (GMT + 1).
Times:
2 Indian Standard Time (+5.30)
3 U.S. Central Daylight Time (-5)
1 GMT (+-0)
3 U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (-4)
1 Central European Time (+1)
1 U.S. Pacific Time (-7)
1 GMT+5
The purpose of the time thing is to, assuming a 9-5 workday, attempt to begin rounds outside of those hours. It serves two main purposes: to allow players to post twice in a round: one when it begins and one closer to the end; and to give a grace period for last minute "rememberers". The time frame is weighted (via a complex algorithm) around the geographic area with the greatest density of players, with the next dense areas affecting the time frame less and less.

Hi guys! Let this be a fun one!
Timezone: EST (GMT -4)
Timezone: EST (GMT -4)
Glossary of Terms You May Encounter In-Game
-achievement: awarded for doing certain things. List to come.
-challenge: an opportunity to earn extra points. These are not clues! These come in many forms:
---Jumbled Relations: unscramble four words, then explain how the four words are related to each other
---Attendance Challenge: if everyone posts a valid post, then everyone wins a prize
---Keyword Challenge: if any player includes the secret Keyword in a post, they win a prize. This is a common, everyday word.
---Phenomenon: name the phenomenon described. Although there may be more than one correct answer, only one will net you the reward.
---Encryption Decryption: decrypt the encrypted text, then explain what it is
---Random: a challenge of any kind
---Boss Challenge: purchased and created by the Boss, if the team fails to correctly answer this challenge, someone will be fired
---Rat Challenge: purchased and created by the purchaser, if the Rat fails to correctly answer this challenge, the Rat will be fired
-clue: reveals information. Usually cryptic. Must be purchased in the Bazaar.
-points: a measure of how successful you are as a player. The current earned point record is 42. There's an Achievement for beating this. (In a 20-player game, this is upped to 56, as that is the same amount of projected effort.)
-post: one entry in the game's forum.
-valid post: any post that follows the rules. It must be relevant to either the game or a constructive conversation (about the game or otherwise). Double posts do not count unless four hours have passed since your last post. Triple posts and spam will not be tolerated and will result in a warning for the former, an ban for the latter or a repeat offense of the former.

Few more -- hope it is an active game
Challenges seem like fun! Can't wait for it!
Just wondering, when a challenge comes out, are we allowed to answer with more than one answer? Or is it limited to one answer per player, then if the answer is wrong, the player is allowed (or isn't?) to answer again?
Wanted to clarify now rather than during the game

You are allowed to answer more than once. However, all your answers must be sent to me via PM or I will simply not respond to them.

This sounds really exciting! I hope the last players will join quickly!
Sorry I'm "late"! Was just helping to move kitty's game off the board. jpost & I suggested to the other players that they come here, too, so hopefully won't be long 'til we start!

But on that note, this is the first 20-player game I've moderated. I'm kinda taking a giant leap here. Luckily the system I created can handle any number of people.
Just so everyone is in the loop, the prices for items may seem significantly higher than before. That is because the prices are set based on how many players there are. Most of you have only seen my 15-player games; if you were to join a 10p game, you would notice a significant decrease as well. The philosophy is that more players means more opportunities to earn points.

This is what happens when the ratio of in-registration to active games is x : 0.
Suddenly I'm wishing I had a 15-player game as usual. Then again, this game's been in sign-ups since a time when 20-players wasn't too much to ask for with the steady flow of games...then no one signed up.

It is difficult to find a balance between giving the boss away and not making it nigh on impossible. I'll try not to be too harsh. Do remember that the more hints the team buys, the easier they're supposed to get.

We all change when you think about it. We are different people all throughout our lives. And that's okay, that's good. So long as you keep moving and remember who you used to be.

Precisely. If most of you think it's too much, though, I can just start them whenever.
