I am posting the rules before the game if you are not aware of them!

They're pretty simple:

- Once the game show starts and everyone is ready, I will post each question from the first round one by one and you have 4 minutes (I will post the time limit in Eastern US time) to message me an answer. DO NOT POST IT IN THIS THREAD. Instead find the announcement email from yesterday and you can reply to it. Remember to send the answers to ME.

- You have three lives each. If you get a question wrong, you lose one life. Get three of them wrong, you lose three lives and you're out. The players who still have lives left over after one round will progress to the next round. If there is a tie, we will figure something out.

- You have three rounds: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Five questions in each round. You don't have to answer in complete sentences, this isn't a short answer portion of you test. If your answer sounds just about right, you will get a point.

- Don't stress if you made a stupid mistake answering a question or lost all of your lives early. This is just a game on the internet. You're not going to fail life.

- Please do NOT cheat. This is supposed to be a fun way to test how well you know your books and it isn't going to be fun if everyone Googles all the questions. You're just making the mods' jobs a LOT harder, since we will have to come up with more questions or a tie breaker. I do not have patience for that crap, especially if it is weird that so many people have all their lives.

It think that is all. Good luck!

Once you sign in and say you are ready I will put an asterisk by your name on the score board(:

Scoring
5 points for EASY
10 points for MEDIUM
15 points for HARD

Adding on to what Amee said, if you want to say or ask us something please do so in the Who's ready thread. Thanks!

One more thing: please try not to comment in this thread if you are not a mod! I want to try to keep it nice and tidy so that contestants can see their questions right away :)

No more late signups! Sorry to anyone else who didn't get a chance to sign up but we are full now!

Alright, guys! The game show will start as soon as everyone reports in the Who's Ready? thread!

Make sure you've read all of the rules :)

OKAY, GUYS, SO THIS IS WHAT WE'LL DO.

I'll post the first question here and ALL of the participants have 24 hours to SEND ME THE ANSWER VIA PERSONAL MESSAGE. That means that if I post the question at 5:10 pm, everybody will have until 5:10 pm TOMORROW to answer it. Right now it's 5:07 where I'm at, so remember what time that would be for you. Capiche?

Alright, participants! Here is the first question of the first round. It is an easy one.

When you have the answer you have to send it to me by 5:10 PM EASTERN USA TIME (New York time, basically) VIA PERSONAL MESSAGE. PLEASE DO NOT POST IT IN THIS THREAD. If you fail to meet the deadline, you will be disqualified from the game show. If you do, we will move on to the next round as soon as possible.

So, here is your question:

What was the name of Hazel's favorite book?

Good luck in sending the answer on time :)

THIS IS ROUND ONE:EASY

So, participants who have been disqualified are: Kynnedy, Elise, Juliet, Rylan, Nina and Radost. Memebers who are disqualified are now not allowed to send in answers to future questions at all. I'm sorry :(

For remaining participants, the second question for round one is to be answered by midnight, September 16th!

Here is your question:

What was the metaphorical meaning behind Augustus's cigarettes?

I'm sorry!!

It's ok, I was just looking forward to this.

Alright! So, the players who proceed to the next question are Maya, Alison and Emily.

Everyone else is eliminated. Sorry, guys, there will be more game shows. Next time, just kind of try to keep track of which you signed up for and pay attention to when they are hosted. If you know that you won't be able to participate in one you signed up for, let me know. Don't just skip on it; it's irresponsible. You signed up, you gotta follow through. I hope you will all be more cautious with the next game show :)

With that said, here is the third question, which is expiring tomorrow, September 18th at midnight. Please get your answers in by then, remaining participants :)

Where does Peter Van Houten live?

So, the finalists are still Maya, Alison and Emily

We will proceed to marathon as many questions as we can to get this over with if all three of you are ready :) If you are, feel free to report in this thread and wait until everyone else reports too. Then, I will post the rest of the easy questions and you will have ten minutes to send the answers to me. Good luck!

so... anyone here?
