Should we have another site game?

Alright, children, listen up.

First of all, the poll allows *two* votes to be cast. So it's far more representative to go off the number of voters as a baseline, rather than looking at just at raw numbers.

So far, 13 people voted and 10 said "change Daily Millionaire". That's 77% of voters (not 50% like the poll suggests). It also means that only 3 people didn't vote for change in DM, while 2 people explicitly said "don't change it".

8 out of 13 people (62%) said "introduce a third game". I am willing to bet that most of those would have also voted "change DM" - however, that kind of stat is not avaliable to us, so we can only look at posts that were made. Lo and behold, pretty much everyone except JCEurovision suggested some change to DM *and* an alternative third game.

Are any of these results overwhelming? Not really. We have had 35 members active in the past 24 hours, meaning that only a third actually voted in this survey. So it's far too early to make any decisions yet.

Re: resetting the leaderboard
The thread has gone over 6 years without a reset. The possibility was discussed within the thread itself, but it never happened. The thread is also over 360 pages long. Some will say it's unfair, as they've worked hard to build their position. Others, like myself, must be very surprised to see that they're still in the top 20. My last post in that thread? September 14th, 2011. And I'm still no. 19 on the leaderboard. Frankly, it might make newcomers feel slightly alienated in that sense. What's the point if you could've been working away for 5 years and not even beaten a guy who hasn't answered a single question in that time.

The more I think about it, the more it feels like DM needs a fresh start. It's a great game, but it's too easy to lose the incentive to play. So I still think that some kind of "Special Editions" month might be welcome, perhaps in December 2016 to finish the old run and make a brand new fresh start in 2017.

I'd still like to advocate the Theme Week game, as a separate one. I get the comments about commitment, but thinking about it, it really shouldn't be that difficult to write 5 questions, bearing in mind not all of them have to be MDQs. Besides, if I were to partake in that game, personally I'd have my set of questions prepared in advance, just in case I won.

TL;DR - you can't just look at raw numbers in the poll and make judgements based on them; stop moaning about the leaderboard; Theme Week is a good idea; I'm gorgeous.

Also, please be sure that any changes incorporate some sort of mechanism to keep the game moving if one of the participants is MIA. A stalled game ruins the fun for everyone.

The $292 dollars rings a bell here...I'm loving $292 now...

Anyway, the graphics are good. Can you try the orange one rather than the red one. For me , it's a bit off to be "Millionaire". By the way, in what program are these graphics made of?

Also, can you make other graphics based on the other themes here (eg. the Throwback and the Millionaire Fans Theme)

In terms of a 'new' (ish) site game, could we not go back to running 2 RPG's consecutively, but with the current RPG system (1-61) being the 'Daytime' version of the show, and the new ones being the 'Primetime' version, which only runs for a fortnight each month?

I think for the Primetime version the rules on formats should be stricter so that it is just one format that runs constantly. Hosting duties could also be shared between 2 or 3 experienced hosts as well, to give the game a much more routine and structured feel. The hosts would take it in turns to host the game. Contestant's runs could also run over into the next show, bringing a real meaning to the klaxon, and giving a more realistic feel. FFF contestants would have to be more than 2, and everyone participating would have to be quite active on the boards to keep the game running smoothly.

The set hosts would also act as the 'management' of the Primetime show along with the staff, and would decide if rule or format changes were necessary. They would also be in charge of keeping people playing.

Just an idea for a new-ish game. What does everyone think?

Thanks for the compliments of my idea, @amillionaire .

In terms of 'specific' graphics, that would most probably come under the same format, for example if the Classic Format was chosen then there would probably be a set of graphics created which all hosts would have access to and would be expected to use, if they can help it. This would probably cover everything from the question graphics, moneytree graphics, lifeline graphics, all the way down to wording, fonts and sizes.

I'd definitely like to see something new brought onto this site.
