Who Or What Is It : Rules For Round Three

[WillRiker]

First of all round Three of the "Who or What?" picture puzzles will start today Friday 14th November 2008. This round of the puzzles will run for 3 months until Saturday 14th February 2009 or until the nearest puzzle to that date is guessed.

For those not familiar with how it works here's a quick summary....

A covered up picture will be posted.

The picture will be of either an MTW member, a Famous Celebrity or an item. An item can be anything from a Movie Poster, to a household item to a magnified image.

10 squares will be removed each day revealing parts of the picture.



Any registered MTW member can reply in the thread guessing at who or what they think is hidden.

YOU CAN GUESS AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE ONLY NOT IN SUCCESSION, THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE OTHER GUESS MADE BEFORE YOU CAN GUESS AGAIN.

In other words, if Purple Dragon guesses, she can't guess and guess and guess again, she could guess, then hntbarbie could guess, then Purple Dragon would be free to guess again.

The first person to correctly guess who or what it is will be awarded 5 points.

Anyone who guesses more than once in succession will be docked 3 points.

In each puzzle I will post and update the list of incorrect guesses.

It will appear in the first post of each game like so.....



If you then make a guess of someone or something that has previously been guessed and put in the list as an incorrect guess, (which means that you didn't read the list and are therefore wasting my time in doing it in order to help you), then you will lose 1 point from your points total each time that you do it.

So pay attention to what has been guessed before you!

If no-one has guessed correctly after 24 hours or so then more sections of the picture will be revealed...



And this will continue daily until someone guesses correctly like so...







A points table will be posted showing the current standings.

*** Prize Puzzles ***

Every so often one of the puzzles will be a prize puzzle. It's exactly the same as an ordinary puzzle in so much as you guess as usual and the first person with the correct answer gets a spot prize for it. It won't be an expensive prize necessarily and probably along the lines of an MTW Fridge Magnet or similar, (obviously I won't keep sending fridge magnets if the same person keeps winning it'll vary otherwise they'd have a shitload of MTW fridge magnets).

There will also be a bonus picture puzzle that will run alongside each of the regular puzzles. The bonus puzzle will start off with 50 points on offer but only 5 squares removed initially and then only 2 square a day after that and each time a square is removed the points on offer will drop by 1.

All will become clear once I get that one posted.

So that's it.

Any questions? Well you're an idiot if you do but ask away anyhoo.

Ok due to my not updating these as often as I should I'm extending the deadline for round 3 until 1st of June 2009, so there's more chance to get in among the points, (it also means less prizes to dish out in these harsh economic times).
