I think there needs to be a new game on the zone with more points like Wheel of fortun! Or somthing.

I think hangman is like wheel of fortune only no wheel, and no chances of losing a turn and or going bankrupt. I don't know if you can do a group of people in a a game with PHP code. That would have to take a network am I wrong? I think group games like these take alot of memory and bandwidth so I don't know if it could be possible.

trivia might be doable. That does actually sound like a good idea. I don't know if we could do a wheel of fortune game though, or any group games. I honestly don't see how those could be possible, though Chris and J have done some pretty sweet things on here already...I'll direct them to this topic, and see what they think

what about a music trivia type game. now i know maybe this sounds like a bit too much but we could have questions and maybe clips - I'd be happy to make some clips to put in as part of a music trivia game, or a music section to a trivia game..

Yeah, any types of trivia games sound like fun. Wouldn't this be something like the Quiz System though? Just curious, since they almost sound similar.

But I think the quiz system is so messed up now!!! Some of them don't even have matching scor intervals!!! I think this should be about everything and anything and it will just be your luck if you get a question with the answer you know.

Yeah. that's true. I don't get the Quiz thing either. I always seem to get 0 points no matter what my answers are and 5 for playing. *smiles*

well, here's what I was thinking. You all could choose categories, and each category will have different sets of questions naturally. We can have users submit questions too, and we can screen them to make sure that the answers are right, and we can put everything in...thing is though, I don't know how much work we'd have to put into it, but you can bet it'll be a lot.

to save the admins and CL's a back breaking load of work why not just find that sort of stuff else where on the internet? after all it is out there! off the top of my head
www.yrguk.com
is a goodplace for all that kind of stuff!

admittedly you wouldn't score zone points for the games you played but anything too complex on here would simply take up too much time for the people running this joint! lol.

just my thoughts

what about slots but instead of money you could use your points.

Post 16 by Nick6489 (11 years a Zoner) on Monday, 04-Jul-2005 1:21:04

Now that's an idea. Slots. I'd like that. Make sure the sounds are amazing on those, though.

Hm, trivia would be fun, but ... I don'T know what slots is, though.

Post 18 by wild.flower (Newborn Zoner) on Monday, 04-Jul-2005 6:11:27

Slots would be great! Maybe even video poker! I know they're out there on other sites, but I haven't found many accessible to JAWS. ~genakay~

ines. slots are what we in the UK would call fruit machines. i don't know if you'd call them something different in germany though.

Don't know that either Dan but thank you *smiles*.

Slots (or slot machines), are a type of entertainment (game) where one inserts a designated amount of currency into a "slot", hence the name. Upon insertion of the specified currency, various things can happen:
Some machines use a group of fruits, others use celebrities, some use cars... among other things. The basis of the game is to match the items, with differing matches resulting in differing pay-outs. Usually, one item is designated as the negative wildcard. If it shows up in any of your patterns, it's an instant loss.
Lets take aquick example. The one-arm bandit is a quarter machine that uses apples, oranges, cherries, and lemons as game pieces. Once you've inserted the coin, you pull on the "arm" of the "bandit", and it begins to spin through the cycles, shuffling the patterns.
Lets assume it ends with apple, apple, orange. The player may or may not receive a pay-out for the two matching fruits (some machines require a full "three-bar" match). Lets say the proprietor of the establishment housing the "one-arm bandit" chooses to let patrons win for matching two fruits. Perhaps the apples would be worth a quarter each. In this case, then, the player would win 50 cents (two quarters). If the player had matched all three apples, he'd receive 75 cents (a larger pay-out). He does not receive anything for the unmatching orange, nor would he receive any winning if the orange came between the apples (apple, orange, apple).
Each of the fruit items would be worth a differing value, and usually a differing bonus for a full "three-bar" match. (A "bar" is a space in the pattern where one of the fruit pictures can fall into.)
Lets assume the player pulled the arm and his bars showed Cherry, Cherry, Cherry. Lets also assume that three matching cherries is the jackpot setting, and that each cherry is worth a dollar (four quarters). The player would win three dollars (one dollar for each cherry), plus a jackpot award (say, double the worth of the three bars).
Now, lets assume that the lemon is the negative wildcard. If the player pulls any combination containing a lemon in it, he would lose his quarter without any pay-out (he'd lose the quarter if he made no matching pairs or triplets, too). This means that even if he got Lemon, Lemon, Lemon, he'd still lose, since lemons are the automatic negative wildcard.
That's the basis of a slot machine. Some establishments can vary the appearance of certain items (say, reduce the chances of the cherry popping up), or increase the chances of certain items being placed in the bars (lemon, for example). It's all a game of luck, chance, and... stubbornness.

Woa that would be fun if we could have that on here. I might get addicted to that *grins*.

Hmmm. Slots may be possible, but this is going on my limited knowledge of php. Interesting idea.
