Surprise, I am posting this early. Let's see what happens.
Yam102284 secured a guaranteed slot in the playoffs by using the unlikely secret word comic. Never letting up, marianjela used same. And GoldyCat continued her win string by using attention. Notice and find did not score.
Today's KatKwiz was about premium membership.
Don't worry, I will not show up at your doorstep dancing a jig dressed up as an evangelist with a bucket for you to put money in. I promise. Just answer the questions, remember there are no correct answers and you are only trying to use the secret words.
Are you presently a premium member; why or why not? Now, answer that same question without once using the word money. Think about how much time you spend on TCS; suppose it is just two hours a week. Do you realize that would compute to less than a penny a minute to be a premium member? Actually, anybody playing KatKwery is probably on here at least an hour a day and the cost becomes well worth it, right? Well, right? Finally, do you think anybody put me up to this?
Come back and read this below after you have answered the above questions.
I will be sending a PM to all of you that are in the orchid or green areas of the standings - please respond right away so that the playoff dates can be finalized. There will be nine topics, each with ten questions. Here is one scenario that I am thinking of: Playoffs begin October 3. Each round has three days. So round one would be October 3, 6, and 8. I am avoiding the weekends because I see a great drop in participation on weekends. Round 2, which will have only four players, will be October 10, 13, and 15.
The finals, with two players, would be October 17, 20 and 22. Here is how one day would work to show you what I am talking about. On October 3, at 10:00 Central time, I post a topic and ten questions. You have 24 hours to respond with your answers. I now have time to check everybody's answers and on the 4th I announce the winners of the first game. If we play every day there is not time enough to allow you much time to come up with your answers and still allow me sufficient time to check them all. I cannot tell for sure but it looks like everybody would be from North America. Some I do not know, let me know so that the difference in time will not be problematic. OK, I am just rambling here, help me figure out the best way to hold the playoffs. All of the rules and such are in place but we need to make sure that everybody has the time to play. If not, I have already mentioned absentee voting in where I pm you the questions ahead of time.
The Kats had a special meeting last night and decided to keep the jackpot open until the end of the playoffs. 10% of all KatKwiz donations go to the KatKwery jackpot. So, amidst the excitement of the playoffs, you might just see the jackpot soaring to who knows where.
