this thread, 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.
