    Final scores
    PenCell: 7
    Nolan: 6
    Zombo: 5
    XternalメDGN : 1

    Congratulations to PenCell for the close victory!

    Moderator's Note: Unfortunately, I jumped the gun when I said there would be future games like this one. When I stated that, I had assumed that at least some of the people who submitted a fact would try the matching part of the game. What do I consider decent participation? Well, about half the number of people who sent me a fact, so roughly 8 members. I would have even been cool with 7 participants. But with only a handful of people playing, I can't justify making another one of these. Hope you had fun if you played!

    I'm sorry I didn't participate, I thought I could still send it today. I would have 2 points. I knew that Huroni says gg a lot and of course I knew my own fact.

    I thought that if more people submitted a fact, more of these same members would be likely to play the matching part.

    F11 once, F12 once, F13 once.

    Zombo and Nolan guessed you correctly (2 people).

    I tried to make sure the facts people submitted were unique. I didn't think being good at devil sticking would apply to more than one person who sent a fact, but I guess it did in this case...

    I think that's too hard. I was experimenting this time by including members without a matching fact. If you were able to match about 1/3 or more of the facts correctly, I would consider that a good score. In future games, I would probably have the same number of facts as members.

    I allowed 72 hours for submissions. I was considering postponing the deadline, but after only receiving three PMs within that time (Xternal sent me a PM only matching Sadistic, so I don't really count this as one), I wasn't expecting any more people to play. Compare this with: 7 people submitted a personal fact within the first 2 hours after I initially posted the game.

    It should only take around 10 min to guess members and corresponding facts. If you search the board for answers, then maybe a bit longer. But if I ran another one of these games, I'd extend the matching phase to a week. I'm not sure if I want to host another game though; that's why this game was a trial to begin with: I needed to gauge how interested people were in playing.
