Inspired by this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=99114), i thought it'd be really fun to make a game where hints are given about a team, and the viewers have to guess!
So here's how it'll work:
Every Thursday (or so, we'll see how it turns out), i will make a new thread (like the caption contest)
I will give three or so hints as to who the team is
You MUST PM me with your answer. If people post the answer on the thread, people may just copy the last person's guess.
You can only guess once
Point system:
-1st correct answer: 20 points
-2nd: 15
-3rd: 10
-Rest: 5
-Incorrect Answer: -5
On the following Thursday, i will post below the results along with what the team number actually was and a running score total.
Any suggestions to improve the game are greatly appreciated.
------------
The inaugural name that team:
This team resides in the Southern United States
This team helped build a robot for a local police department.
This team is considered by many to be one of the best teams to never win a World Championship.
Remember: DO NOT post your answer on this thread!
Good Luck!

P.S. I received a great idea already! A new scoring system will be in place for next time:
On the first day, i will give one hint. Then, every 2 days or so, i will add another hint.
The scoring system will look like this for next week:
Correct on 1st day/hint: 30 points
Incorrect on 1st day/hint: -5 points
Correct on 2nd day/hint (this means that this scoring won't apply until the next day i post a new hint): 20 points
Incorrect on 2nd day/hint: -10 points
Correct on 3rd day/hint: 10 points
Incorrect on 3rd day/hint: -10 points
--------------------------
P.P.S.Due to the surprisingly high number of PM's i have received already today, I've decided to make a new one starting tomorrow with the new rules. So be ready folks! But remember, being first won't matter anymore, so choose your answer time wisely. I will post the scoring for today's tomorrow, but the scoring will restart tomorrow due to a scoring system change.
Good luck!

Also, could someone possibly change this forum's setting so that i don't have to wait so long to post again? It said check back in a few hours, and it's been six and i still can't post new.
