I'm going to see if we can start this on Wednesday. Starting on Thursday I will be very busy every day for the next seven days that follow. However, I would be open to starting some of this on Wednesday if it works for all of you. I have written 10 specialist subject questions for all six of you who signed up for the game. You will be quizzed in the order in which you signed up.

Okay. Here's how we are going to do this.
On the show, you are timed and you have to answer as many as possible in that given time frame. Since we are in different time zones, the players obviously will not be timed, but I would like to get through as many questions in a given round as possible. I will have one question per post. Once the player has answered them, I will move on to the next one.
The show has passes, with a player choosing to pass and passed questions are revealed at the end of the round, while incorrect answers are revealed, then the next question is given. Since this is not timed, we will not do any passes.
As per the show, it's one point per correct answer. There is no deduction for an incorrect answer, but in the event of a tie, incorrect answers will be factored in.
Just like on the show, the order of the general knowledge round will be determined according to point totals. The one with the fewest points in round one goes first, and etc. One of the players suggested I should have more than 10 questions for the specialist subject round. I told people it would be 10, unless you'd all be open to 15, I could change it, but I could make the general knowledge round longer too. The choice is yours.
If this goes out okay, maybe we can make Mastermind RPGs a common occurrence.

For me 15 questions are okay too if it is alright for everyone else too.

We have three agreeing to 15 questions. If one more will, I will add five more questions for each.
