A new challenger has entered the arena!

Because the Runolympics are more popular than we originally thought (we reached nearly 30 participants!), we have decided to add a fifth team! However, since the current version of the Runolympics was originally planned for 4 teams, this will change a few things:
  • First of, the default name of the new team (as well as their color) will be Black Team. It references the remaining Olympic color.
  • This also means we need an additional team maker.
  • The new pattern for points is:
1st place: 12 points
2nd place: 9 points
3rd place: 6 points
4th place: 3 points
5th place: 0 points


As for events:
  • Family Feud was scrapped completely. A fifth team would require two additional rounds to be added, and would make the Runolympics even longer.
  • The Gaming Tournament has been reworked entirely, however two people per team can still participate. It would also last 4 additional days.
  • Bonus: We now end inside of August instead of stretching all the way into September.
  • Everything else remains the same.

As well as making things easier and allowing everyone to have a chance at being their team's representative, this should make the competition even more heated!

Good luck to all!

I already reserved the black team for our use. And since the teams can be named... well... :P

Also, I already have a design for Team Dark's emblem. I'll be doing it in the PC soon.

I strongly believe that Star king and Doram will have a method to satisfy everyone, so no worries. :)

The problem with this game is that it mostly relies on how fast you can answer, meaning people in a timezone close to mine or who have more time than others have a tremendous advantage. Secondly, the problem with any Trivia game is that, this is the Internet. Not all game shows can work on Forum Games. The good thing with Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud is that Google cannot answer the problems cannot fill in the blanks or answer a survey for you (unless it's a very basic question). However any answer to a trivia question is just a Google search away.

Trust me, we've looked for a replacement, but there are not any to be found at the moment.

actually I've hosted a forum wheel of fortune (and still need to get working on it)

It can work if people are active.
