Voting will be open until February 10, 2013.
The Pitch:
The forum could establish teams prior to playing. Team members need to have original TSTO art submissions created prior to the game starting. Instead of guessig the TSTO art from your own team, teams need to guess the opposing teams art piece, since it would be very simple to PM your teammate for the answer. Clues could be given if a team gets stumped to help move the game along. First team with 5 correct guesses wins.
Here's the board:
And an example...
IT'S DIGNITY! DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE IT WHEN YOU SEE IT???
Why would this idea work? Because its all time clasic
Ordered by EA to host a real Wheel of Fortune game after the wheel debacle that was the Christmas update, Krusty the Clown joins Springfield’s own amply bosomed Booberella to offer players a chance to Spin the Wheel. Guess letters, fill in the blanks, correctly decipher the person, place, or thing, have the most money at the end of the game, and you will win a newcar – I mean badge of a wheel.
Players: 2-4 Players
Game Play: Players will roll the dice to determine the wheel spinning order. After the order has been determined, players will role the dice using the current TSTO Forum format of :roll: and have the potential to earn money based on their roll (ex. Each space of the 6-pronged wheel corresponds to the 1-6 of the dice. If a player rolls a 6 they will have the chance to bank $700 – the numbers on the wheel are in hundreds). After rolling the player will select a letter of the alphabet and Booberella will let the players know if it is on the board. If it is the player will bank the money and have an opportunity to solve the puzzle. If they cannot, the next player will roll and repeat the process. Only the person who solves the puzzle will keep their banked money. Each game consists of 3 puzzles and the person with the most money at the end of three puzzles will be declared the winner.
You think you know what every Simpsons character looks like? Test yourdetective process of elimination skills by figuring out which Simpsons character is the mystery person. Be the first to correctly guess who the mystery Simpsons character is and win a beautiful new badge
Players: 2-4 Players
Game Play: The host of the game is none other than Ranier Wolfcastle, as he is Springfield’s resident actor and the court has ordered him to start doing game shows to help pay all those creditors back after his latest self-financed bomb that was his latest movie “Triplets” staring himself, Danny DeVito, and Eddie Murphy. As host he will preselect the two mystery characters and provide a list of 36 possible Simpsons Characters who could be today’s mystery guest.
Players will roll the dice to determine of order of guessing. Upon each player’s turn they will have the option of asking a question about the mystery persons (ex. Does this person wear glasses? Or is this person yellow?) or they can guess who the mystery characters are. But don’t use your turn to guess the mystery character until you’re ready. If your guess is wrong, you’ll lose the game. The first personal to correctly guess both of the mystery characters wins the game.
Test your mad trivia skills by answering questions regarding the lives of the residents of Springfield. Roll the dice, move your spaces, answer the question, and fill up your pie pan with all four pieces of yummy pie….mmmmmmmmmm piiiieeeeeee.
A new take on a classic trivia brings all the fun of The Simpsons right to your favorite TSTO Online Community. The winner will win a shiny new Pie Badge.
Players: 2-4 Players
Game Play: Role the dice using the current TSTO Forum format of :roll: and move toward one of the Pie spaces. If you answer the question correctly while on a Pie space you will receive the corresponding pie piece. Collect all four to win the game. If you roll and do not land on the Pie space you will still be able to answer a trivia question, just to prove how smart you really are. Questions come from the established The Simpsons Trivia Game.
Candy Fantasy Land
Introducing a brand new game from Brilton Madley. Yes, from the makers of CandyLand comes an exciting new game: Homer’s Fantasy Land. Help Homer reach his goal of getting to his ultimate fantasy – and really every guys fantasy (no not that one guys). The one of Sports, Gambling, and Beer. Roll the dice, move the corresponding colored spaces and help Homer navigate from the false dreamlands of Halloweenville, Love Alley, and Christmastown. If you are the first player to reach the end you will be the proud owner of this chocolate bunny badge straight from Homer’s Chocolate Land Dream.
Players: 2-4
Players
Game Play: Role the dice using the current TSTO Forum format of :roll: and whatever number you roll will correspond to a card. Move your piece to the number of colored spaces signified on the card. Watch out for the slippery slide that will cause you to move back to near the start. Players alternate turns until there is a winner
(P.S. If it had been available in the game I would have wanted to make the Chocolate Land Dream Sequence as the finish line of the game, but those items are not yet available in TSTO)
Based on the classic game of Scattergories.
Set up
This would be a 4 player game with (3) twenty minute rounds. Giving the entire game a playing time of just over an hour.
Game Play
The game official will randomly select a letter for each round. A standard Scattergories card has 12 ‘categories’ on it. This will be split up to 4 categories per round. The players must then take a screenshot for each category in that round. The screenshots would be pm’d to the game official. Once the official has all the screenshots from all players they can post them for scoring.
Scoring
A player would get a point for each entry that corresponds to the letter of the round.
If more than one player has the same entry, those entries will cancel each other out and neither player will be awarded points for those entries. Example: If the category was name and the letter was H, player 1 entered Homer and player 2 entered Homer, those entries would cancel out.
A player will be awarded more than one point for compound answers with the same letter. Example: if the category was insect and the letter was B, an answer of Bumble Bee Man would be worth 2 points.
Example
Taken from an actual Scattergories game card and letter selected by game dice.
Catergories:
A Boy’s Name
U.S. Cities
Things That Are Cold
School Supplies
Letter:
S
My entries:
Snake
Springfield
Snow Monster
See Saw
My score would be 5 points.
