View Full Version : 5 Card Trivia Discussion & Suggestions

Wanted to start a new thread where we can throw around some ideas to improve 5 Card Trivia without clogging up the actual contest thread.

First, a few notes...

1. Eventually, I'd like to implement a bonus structure for the 5 Card Trivia game based on the winning hand. Meaning, the higher the winning hand, the bigger the prize.

2. I may change this to something other than trivia down the road, but for now, this seemed like the easiest way to get things going that can involve the greatest number of people.

3. In the trivia format, I think we'll see a bump in activity as it's more of a participation based contest than the other ones we have.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please share them!

does it have to be a trivia question each time... u could mix in a guess who picture on some days... a pick the winner against the spread football game some days, pick a random game from the arcade -choose a score- and if u beat it u get a card, etc...

I was planning on mixing it up down the road and including "connect the celebrity" as well as some other things.

Feel free to post all suggestions for what we can do instead of trivia, but it has to be something that can be done instantly.

For example, we can't dedicate a full day to an arcade game, but the "connect the celebrity" thing works because it can be done on the spot.

could make the game omaha hi/lo... 5$ go to the hi 5$ to the lo... that would spread it around some... all you would have to do is get 5 cards to have a chance at the lo and the people that are here the most would still have a advantage for both due to having more cards

ScareCrowAKA
12-03-2011, 02:41 PM
to give more a chance, u could make the game just go til all but 5 cards are given out, then make the last 5 cards the board... but that might take a while


I like Ringo... I dont want him to be sad :(

NDN

I like both of these suggestions. Before we change things though, I'd like to run through at least two full contests with our current setup just to see how things play out.

im not sure how omaha works exactly... i was just throwing it out there... u could do 5$ for the best stud hand and 5$ to the worst.... or just do holdem w the flop idea... but that would take longer than a wk... but w the extra $ u could make a bad beat jackpot or something

NDN

Keep the ideas coming and once we understand how these contest generally play out we can adjust them accordingly.

What do you think of a Best original photo and or video contest?

This should be a monthly contest to give members plenty of time to create and upload a quality photo.

Ringo
12-05-2011, 09:54 AM
Announce Hi, Low or Hi/Low
Members have a week to earn 4 cards by answering correct questions
On the last 3 days of contest NDN flops 3 common cards, then 1 card and then 1 card.

If it's a Hi or Low card week then a players 2 best cards are used and a player with less than 4 cards can still compete for best hand.

more fun and less work for everyone

the thrill will be like the lottery every 7 days waiting for that river card:drool5:
it will be standing room only! if only I could operate a hot dog stand outside:svengo::lurk5:

above post/idea would create a weekly thrill for multiple members instead of the current 1/2 way through the week and the feeling of can't possibly win because leader has 9 cards and I have 2

I vote for a winter of weekly thrills

My issues with this are...

1. Very few people are capable of producing videos and posting them on the internet.
2. Almost as many people are incapable of doing the same thing with a photo.
3. With regards to photos, there's really no way to tell which ones are original and which ones aren't.
4. It would be tough to declare a winner if we had some genuinely original photos/videos posted.

It may sound easier to you, but we don't really have a lot of Omaha players around these parts and I fear we would only confuse everyone an deter them from playing.

Just do holdem, then everyone only needs 2 cards to have a shot, keep the game going til all but 5 cards are drawn, then thats the board, person thatcan make the best hand with any 2 pocket cards wins... this would prob take about 2 wks... 10$ goes to the winner, then whats left over each wk goes into a pot, and the first person to achieve say like 10s full of jacks or better, wins that pot.

that way there is still incentive and a advantage to getting as many cards as possible, cus u trying to win the "Jackpot" along with having multiple card combos to make the best holdem hand

the pot wouldnt go on for too long i think... eejit was a card away from quad 10s last time and has a open ended straight flush draw this time

Well Boss (a.k.a. NDN, The Man, The Mighty Oz),
For what it's worth, here's my two cents. The Poker Ride concept is cool and some of the other suggestions are good ones. I think the Texas Hold'em format would work well although, with no betting involved, I don't see any reason not to flop all the community cards at once. But stuff like that's above my pay grade and that's why you make the big money.
My main problem with this game is that I work for a living. Therefore, I can't spend the whole day camped out on the computer waiting for you to log back on and play. This gives everyone that can, i.e. Eejit, an unfair advantage. And please don't misunderstand. I'm not complaining or whining or *****ing. It is what it is. I'm just sayin.....
So maybe you could have one or more scheduled times each day to play. Then, at that time, you could come on and ask a question or ask five questions or whatever and everyone would have an equal chance.
One of the earlier posts suggested you pick an arcade game and a target score. Beat the target score and get a card. I think that's a great idea and that's something that anyone's schedule could accomodate.
As it is, I log on then I go to the last page and see if there is an unanswered question. Usually, there's a question with two or three answers waiting for your approval. And one is almost always correct. So the game's over for me. Then I read the last five or so questions, which I've missed (and I see Eejit's posts on every single one), then I go to the arcade.
So, as you can see, this game in it's present form doesn't do much for me but I like the concept and hope that you'll make some changes that make it fair and accessible for us all.
Also, I think you should bring back Backwards Name That Tune. I thought that was a great game. Especially once you went backwards with it and effectively took the Googlers out of it. That was a stoke of genius and that's why you are the Boss. And the fact that you listen to us little people makes you a great leader. NDN for President!!! Wait are you an American? IDK lol
Thanks for listening and thanks for all the great games and contests,

Sincerely,
Todd Webb

1 - Name that tune is my idea :)

2 - I work for a living? What do u think i do! Im just sensible. In the day i log on once every 2 hours? At night at home if im not doing anything ill refresh the posts every now and then. Im not camped here!

3 - I would quite happily not play this game if it helps. The point of this game is to reward people who come back as often as possible. I like to help this site as much as possible, as Ive been here since the beginning. So, as the aim of the game is to be here as much as possible, I will log on and keep chats going, start threads, and try and post a bit to keep it all going.

4 - Its not about the money. Ill play any of these contests for $0 prizes. As long as there is a virtual hug in there somewhere.

5 - I post on everything as it entertains me.


P.s - I know your not aiming this at me. And I like you! Im just making the points as I see it.

What i would personally like to see is this game keep going, but bring something in that you suggested maybe. Makes sense in my head.

ScareCrowAKA
12-06-2011, 01:25 AM
I think the whole point of the contest is to reward the people that are here the most, and to encourage people to be as active as they can be... with the idea above, it still rewards the people who come alot while giving the others a realistic chance at winning a prize... plus if the jackpot got up to like 40-50 bucks, that might intice people to participate more as well... the board being the last 5 cards not drawn is just easier and some less work for ndn. also it would make the game go by that much faster, only drawing 47 cards, u could get the contest done in a 7 day period if u asked 6-7 questions a day

plus not knowing the board til the end keeps participation up cuz it would take longer for people to think they are out, and without a chance to win

Magnifier? How does that help?

I used common sense for the name that tune thing, and still lost. Even used a song database for it and epic failed too.

Guess who was simple either know who it is, or google images and use advanced tools to specify criteria. For example red carpet, actress, blue dress etc.

12-06-2011, 04:42 AM
Keep the suggestions rolling in!

I'm still going to run through hopefully at least two of these with the current format before making any big changes, but when any changes are made, they will of course be for the benefit of all.

I'm trying my hardest to keep these contests fresh and I definitely appreciate all the suggestions!

If anything, I might give eejit101 the boot and have him co-answer for me, so we can be more accessible to the game 24/7. However, as much I like the game, I have a lot of projects to complete and I am probably already dedicating too much time to this one contest!

it helped me... it lets u see like the shape of the face, if its round, etc... it let u see facial hiar that was cut out... it help me, i would make a guess, then use magnifier and completely change it

... but i still had to know the person to be able to get it, just like the 20 questions game... our approaches our different... u look for stuff and ask questons that make it possible to google the answer, I look for things and ask questions to figure it out from what I already know

12-06-2011, 06:01 PM
Haven't had a chance to think much about it, but I'm wondering if there is a way to implement something like this...

Set a maximum amount of cards a person can have at once (# to be determined).

Instead of cutting them off at that number and rendering them done until the next contest, allow them the option of continuing to play, but for each new card they are awarded, one of their existing cards will be returned to the deck (thus becoming available for distribution to other players - or even themselves for that matter).

This essentially gives anyone who has reached the limit the option of being content with their hand or giving them the chance to try to improve their hand if they so choose.

This would extend the game a bit as cards are going back into the deck, but it also might make this game a bit more competitive for more players.

Certainly needs some fine-tuning, but I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this idea.

I'm thinking we can combine this idea with a few of the other ones that have been mentioned and make ourselves a much more exciting game.

ScareCrowAKA
12-06-2011, 07:08 PM
that could work, it would add a bit of stragety as well... I have AAQ54 and say eejit has 44AAQ, and Ringo has K-J-10-9, do I really want to return the 4 or Q to the deck ???

I wouldn't give anyone the option of which cards to give back. That would be done at random, so there would be another factor to consider if you wanted to try to "go for it" or not.

Looking for some quick feedback (won't leave this up too long) on potential changes for the next contest (tentative rules below)...

Our 5 Card Trivia Contest works like this...

1. We will begin this contest by drawing three random community cards (the flop) from a standard 52-card deck.

2. I will then post a trivia question, riddle, or other quiz variation.

3. The first person to respond with the correct answer will receive a random card from the remainder of the deck.

4. Once someone has responded with the correct answer, I will then ask a new question.

5. This process will continue until the remaining cards have been awarded.

6. After we have awarded a card for the correct answer to question 24, we will randomly draw a fourth community card (the turn).

6. The last remaining card will be used as the fifth community card (the river).

5. The person who can make the best poker hand without using the community cards (does not need to be a full 5-cards) will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card!

6. At the start of each contest, $5 will be contributed to the high hand jackpot. To win the high hand jackpot, you must use two of your cards and three community cards. High hand to be determined.

Rules:

1. Each member may only guess once per question. However, you may ask for clarification as often as you'd like.

2. After you have won a card, you may not guess again until another card has been awarded to a different member.

3. I reserve the right to provide hints and/or replace a question if I feel it will help move the game along.

4. Each member will be limited to a maximum of five cards. However, you may continue to play and receive cards, but for each new card you receive, one of your cards will be added back to the deck at random.

What if all cards do not go out. As at this current rate. 4 players would get to 5 cards fast. Then obviously you have people who get a couple of cards. You need 9 players here for full card allotments for the last card to be drawn,

ScareCrowAKA

so the community cards only come into play for the high hand jackpot? ... and the rest of the game is basically the same... do u mean "best hand without using community cards, need 5 to qualify" ?

I vote for the high hand qualification using the community cards to be jacks full of 10's or better.

and u better specify that the fist card drawn after 24 is the turn and the second card is the player who wins that question

I really don't see this being an issue. At first it may take a little longer to complete this contest than the previous one did, but I think once more people catch on, we won't have a problem getting rid of the cards quickly.

Yes. Community cards would strictly be used for the high hand portion of the game only.

However, once you reach five cards, you will have to use a bit of strategy to determine if you want keep your current five cards to beat the competition or if you want to risk drawing new cards to go for the high hand and risk losing to the competition.

NDN

Correct. It's the same format we used for the last contest - that part isn't changing. The best poker hand wins that portion of the contest, but the hand doesn't necessarily have to have five cards (thought it virtually always will).

I'm trying to use everyone's ideas and suggestions to come up with a contest that still rewards increased participation, but also provides those who cannot be as active as they'd like to be with a chance to win a prize.

I think we accomplish this with the high hand portion, which only requires you to have 2-cards to have a shot at the prize.

NDN
12-08-2011, 03:22 PM
I think we'll need to run a full contest to find the pitfalls with these revisions, but right now, I think this one has the perfect amount of luck and strategy to keep things interesting and to appeal to a wider audience.

I just want to make sure we aren't missing anything obvious that could cause problems before we fire this one up again with the changes.

if u limit everyone to 5 cards, its possible that the best hand wont be a full 5 card hand... I dont like that part of it, but I will stil play, but if I have AAKK2, I shouldnt lost to 222 or 567, that dont seem right... unless u just change it to best 3 card poker hand w a 5 card per member limit

If you had AAKK2, you'd still lose to 222 or 22249, it wouldn't make a difference.

It's the exact same system we used for the last round. Someone with 222 could have beat someone with AAKKQQJ9876432.

This is always going to be ranked on a 5 card poker hand (not 3-card poker where 567 is a straight or three of a suit is a flush).

12-08-2011, 03:35 PM
oh ok... so pretty much the only way someone w 3 or 4 cards will win is if they have trips, which isnt likely but could happen...

Im just saying it was diff. last time cuz u didnt have a limit of 5 cards so, AAA wouldnt beat u, cuz u were very likely to have a straight or flsuh if u had like 10 cards...

thats where I was coming from...

now if u have 5 cards and have KKKQ9 and someone has AAA, u will have to take ur chances of returning a card to the deck, which u prob. would anyways to get a boat or quads for the Jackpot hand

I get it

If u can make the high hand before the river comes out, u win and dont have to draw the river? cuz ya, I get what eejit is saying, only 8 people played last game, u would need 10 to even get to the river w a 5 card limit imposed.

I wouldn't worry too much about not having enough people. I'm certain we'll have enough participants.

Maybe we should flip this around so the 2-card hand is used to compete against others for that portion of the contest and the 5-card hand is used for the high hand.

I think that makes more sense...

Yes, leave it as it is now.

1 - HHJ is for 2 cards plus board.
2 - I prefer the timeline for turn and river, but if you do 25 questions for turn, then the river as the last card, then that works.
3 - Mass PM people. Need 12 regular players.
4 - HHJ I like Jacks full or better.
5 - Launch it.

... if some1 is the mathematical winner of the best hand before the river come out, does the game end and the HHJ roll over to the next game?

We will continue on with the game until all cards are out.

I'd consider adding in this rule after the current contest is over though. Or at least consider adding a rule that would end the game once the HHJ is no longer attainable.

I'm sure we'll have another round of changes to make once we run though the current contest, so please keep the suggestions coming.

1 - Name that tune is my idea :)

2 - I work for a living? What do u think i do! Im just sensible. In the day i log on once every 2 hours? At night at home if im not doing anything ill refresh the posts every now and then. Im not camped here!

3 - I would quite happily not play this game if it helps. The point of this game is to reward people who come back as often as possible. I like to help this site as much as possible, as Ive been here since the beginning. So, as the aim of the game is to be here as much as possible, I will log on and keep chats going, start threads, and try and post a bit to keep it all going.

4 - Its not about the money. Ill play any of these contests for $0 prizes. As long as there is a virtual hug in there somewhere.

5 - I post on everything as it entertains me.


P.s - I know your not aiming this at me. And I like you! Im just making the points as I see it.

What i would personally like to see is this game keep going, but bring something in that you suggested maybe. Makes sense in my head.


Eejit, I want to know that, while I have targeted you for verbal abuse before, I honestly wasn't doing it this time. I didn't mean to imply you didn't work for a living. But you say you log in every two hours during the day and I'm not anywhere near a computer for typically ten or twelve hours a day. That's all I was trying to say.
I know you're a post junkie. I don't want you not to play. Quite the opposite. And I agree, it has nothing to do with the money.
Name that tune was great but it was the backwards part that was genius. If that was you, muchos kudos.
We need you, Eejit. Having a common enemy bonds the rest of us into a tight-knit, almost family-like group. And I'm using enemy in the kindest, most loving way possible. So come here, man. Bring it in. This is your virtual hug.

Just had a thought.

Once a player is happy with their hand.... instead of them having nothing to do till the game is over, can they not keep answering, and if they wish to keep their hand, that can simple ask under their answer for you to draw a random card and remove it from the game?

This means obviously everyone has something to do for a while while this game completes.

That could help speed things up if we get bored. We'll keep it on the table and will put it up for consideration for the next round.

some other ideas for contests could be a poem or song writing contest.

You can have a theme week or Limerick week.

it would also mean the stacked(and obviously above average) player has a way to influence the games outcome without gambling their own fate ......which i totally loved about the answer and randomly lose a card and get a card thing.....i like the "while other contestants try to better thier hands it frees cards for others to better theirs" genious and so equalizing for those players that can't come on so often.....ejit maybe we could all chip in for batteries for your butt plug while you wait for the cards to arrange themselves in a way to bring you back into the game.

i know but under current rules you sit out of a question or gamble fate.....under you suggestion you can choose to spoil others chances once you've reached your desired hand......I say i disagree that that would be for the betterment of the game....and i'm offering to subsidize you having to sit quietly with my fair share of battery supply. this is and always will be my opinion in response to your suggestion.

The point is though, if you are here often enough and answer lots of questions and finally get your hand, shouldnt you have a right to defend it? As you got in in the first place?
