Did both get the same score? (I wasn't sure. You said it was a tie becuase they both got over 100...) If so, then the only fair thing is to give it to the person who's pm was received first.
It's been awhile, hasn't it?
I'd give it to the one who PMed first!

If you can't decide, pick one of the names out of a hat (Bookworm's and Marvin/Gaius) that's a fair way to decide.
I'd say either give it to the person who got the PM to you first.. or (since you said they got over 100) give it to the person with the most points.

I think that she means we both had like, 95 points before the last challenge. Then we passed it and got say, 120 each. So she wants to know who should get it.

I say to give it to the one who reached 100 first - like if Marvin had 90 and bookworm had 95, and you're going through the final challenge answer by answer...which one reached 100 first. Does that make sense? So if bookworm got some wrong answers in a row, Marvin could still have beat him. That's my two cents.

I really like this idea That seems as though it would be the most fair answer to the problem.Laura Ingalls wrote:I say to give it to the one who reached 100 first - like if Marvin had 90 and bookworm had 95, and you're going through the final challenge answer by answer...which one reached 100 first.

I resent that. My solution is what is fair to the game, taking into account rules and play. If that happens to result in me winning it’s just because it turns out that way.Gaius wrote:bookworm will say the opposite of what I said
I already gave the solution, but I’ll state it again.
When you said whoever reaches 100 first, it would only mean literally first in real time if you were scoring that way, but you were not. You have been scoring challenge by challenge, at the same time. So, the winner would be whoever hit 100 after a challenge was over.
If there are two, it would either be a tie or go to the one with more points because they ‘reached’ 100 ‘further’.
Not exactly, because the challenges aren’t divided into parts. There isn’t a place to start and stop your answer. So there’s no way to say, for example, ‘Marvin got 3 in a row, bookworm only got 2, so Marvin is 1 ahead’ because you could start at the top, bottom, or select answers randomly. There’s no order.IDANCE4JESUS wrote:That seems as though it would be the most fair answer to the problem.
^bookworm, for that lost part, going *logically* we go from top to bottom. That's just. . .common sense
And to be honest, neither of us should take part in this.

Not in all situations. When I filled in my answers I didn’t go top to bottom. I didn’t go bottom to top either, I filled in randomly when I knew one.Gaius wrote:bookworm, for that lost part, going *logically* we go from top to bottom. That's just. . .common sense
True, but when we're counting up the scores, wouldn't we go top to bottom?

Just because you happened to fill it in randomly doesn't mean there wasn't an order, and that ID4J wouldn't go one at a time from top to bottom scoring it. Election #3, #4, #5, etc. is a pretty straightforward, down-the-list order.

If she was going to score it one at a time you mean?Gaius wrote:True, but when we're counting up the scores, wouldn't we go top to bottom?
I would say not necessarily, because as I said there isn’t a set way to do it. She could, but she could just as well go bottom to top. If there wasn’t a set order for answering, there isn’t a set order for checking the answers either.
But, Larua’s suggestion does seem to be the fairest (but still not completely fair) so if she wants to go that route I suppose it would suffice. So I guess top to bottom would be the way to go, just so we can settle on a method.
Oh, all right, besides, I don't care $200 isn't a lot anyways
Now, if it were $2,000. . . .
