[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1990800, member: 9298"] Doing the whole event in one day is probably the best way to get as low a turnout as possible. It automatically cuts out anyone who has anything (work, family, game) to do that day. What do you think of doing it this way? Post the first batch of puzzle and metapuzzle on a particular day. The first X people who respond correctly can get into the "semi-finals" also every correct answer is worth points for people who are getting things right, but not answering quickly, Do a few rounds, each posted on a different day to give people a fair chance. Once you get to the semifinals and finals, you can ramp up the difficulty and time will be a bit less of an issue. You can even TRY to find the best time for most of the people who are left. It involves a bit of work on your part, but I think most ENworlders are around for a bit every day or every other day rather than once a week for a whole day. Obviously, if youre running the game, you're gonna make the call on the when and where and how just like any other game master, and i'll try to be there for it.
