No, seriously?
I've been thinking about it again, and I really wanna push for it, possibly late fall/early winter. (we need something other than Mafia. >.>) Babs, if it means taking your brainchild off of your hands for just one year or even co-hosting, I'm willing to, because you're lazy and that's not fun >.>
I'd just need two things: the rules, and a good several episodes of the original show, and I'd be set. ^^
Soooo....anyone at all interested? Anyone? Anyone?

It's a game I ran on Pokeschool's boards last in 2004. Match Game was a 70's game show, one of the most popular game shows ever made. Rather than explaining it all, I'll link to the Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Game#Game_playBasically, it's a game, but it's got a lot of humor in it as well. In Match Game 04, I bastardized the format to have teams instead of two contestants... Perhaps I could try something like that again. web.archive.org/web/20050206074127/www.pokeschool.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=83There's NOTHING more helpful than reading through 2004's game. The main 9-page thread there will give you a huge understanding of how it's run. I'm plenty willing to run a MG07, and it's not nearly as intense as Mafia can be... instead of forming alliances and strategy, it's one person at a time with one question. I suppose there COULD be team discussions to decide on an answer, with the person whose turn it is having the final say? Point being, it shouldn't kill the boards at all. It'll hurt me more than anyone, since I have to write all the questions (while staying funny!), tally responses, and write all the game posts. I'm perfectly willing to host again, and to be honest, I don't think anyone else could do it how I can... having done MG04 for over SEVEN MONTHS. o.o ANYWAY, yes. I'm all for a game of this being started, even in the summer is possible. I will take on the host role for the fourth time (I ran games in 02 and 03 as well, though not as good as 04's). We need SIX panelists and as many players as I can get within reason. One of the six panelists by default will be Psy Sneasel, who was a panelist twice in the past and a good friend of mine. So, that leaves five open slots on the panel (preferably given to staff or other high-ranking normal members), and again, anyone can be a player. Post your intentions here, and if not started in the near future, I'll at least know who will play when it's started.

*takes the first player seat, unless for some odd reason Babs would like him to be panelist, then just say so, and Pope would have no problem moving*

If you don't make me a panelist, I will kill you in your sleep. *remembers that Babs doesn't sleep* Uhhhh....just make me a panelist >> And two more questions: 1. how did you just magically summon Psysneasel?!?! and 2: Does this mean you get cool sideburns and a skinny microphone?

Panelist?

Gah, everyone wants to be panelists. x.x (Not that there's a problem with that, but we need players as well.) Basically, I send the questions to the panelists a round or two in advance, collect the responses, then post the correct ones at the right time.
As of right now, the people showing interests for panelist are Psy Sneasel, Lee, Steph, Kuro, Kaz, Potato, and maybe Bulbs? And, Pope might want to be, but with this many people wanting a panelist spot, I'd rather he be a player. As of right now, everyone still post with what you want! There's no guarantee that the people who posted will get those panelist spots. I'll decide who I think would make the best panelists once I stop signups. I know we'll need plenty of players, so that's what I'll push for the most.

I had the question mark because if there's too many panelists I'll be a player.

At this point, you'll have to sleep with the host to guarantee yourself a panelist spot.

Panelist wouldn't be off my list but if I am more preferred as a player then I will more than gladly take up the player's chair.

How long until the first set of panelist questions, anyways?

I'm not sure of when I'll get this started, but seeing the huge response, sometime in July is probably not a bad idea.
