This is an informational and invitation to apply for a contestant spot in Match Game Azeroth. Match Game, to those unfamiliar with it, is an American tv game show in which contestants attempt to match a panel of celebrities answers to fill-in-the-blank questions. This event will be run just like the game show.
How to Play
Each game will host two contestants who will try to fill in the blank to a sentence given by the host in order to match answers with our panelists. After a short introduction the first contestant will be able to pick from the two questions, A or B. It will then be read aloud and the panelists will then write their answers down. [They will whisper their answers to the host so answers cannot be changed] Once they have all finished the contestant will be asked to give their answer aloud. Each panelist will then reveal what they put and any matching answers will award the contestant a point. Points will determine the over-all winner as well as their prospective prizes at the end.
After each contestant has had one question, round one ends and round two begins and second set of questions is given. The contestant with the most points selects first. Any panelists you matched with in the first round will sit out this question as you can only have a maximum of six points.
An example of a question might be When Tom the Zoo Keeper came home from work his wife said “Rough day in the monkey pen? You’re covered in ( blank ).” To which the majority answer in this sentence wasBananas.
Following this round the contestant with the most points moves on the the Big Money Super Match. In this round the contestant will be given a single word or phrase with a blank. The top three answers, as given by a surveyed audience, will be listed under the prices 100g, 250g and 500g. The object being to match the top answer. The contestant will then be able to select three of the panelists to give what they think the answers might be. After they have given their suggestions the contestant then my choose one of those answers or make one up of their own. The answers will be revealed starting at the 100g answer working up. If the contestants answer is there they win that amount of money.
The contestant will play two rounds like this giving them a chance to win up to 1000g. Finally they will play one last round in which they will receive a simple fill-in-the-blank like the previous Big Money Super Match rounds. The difference this time however is they will only choose one panelist and they must match their answer to that panelists answer. Doing so will double whatever winnings they have already accumulated giving them a possible grand total of 2000g.
An example of this might be Standing (blank). To which a few good answers would be, Standing ovation, Standing room only, Standing up.
It is important to note that although occasionally risque, Match Game is a family event. While some questions may indeed lead one to choose an easy, yet obvious inappropriate answer, the humor of the game is that everyone first thinks of that risque answer. Players, both panelists and contestants, are encouraged to keep it PG and avoid the pitfalls of obvious “dirty” answers. This keeps things family friendly as well as expands upon the fun and humor of the spirit of the event. A quick YouTube of the game as it aired on television will not only give prospective contestants insight into how the game works,but also allow them so see how obvious answers are eschewed with equally or even greater hilarious results.
Prospective Audience
We do ask that you kindly refrain from yelling out your own answers, and please keep side conversations to a bare minimum and/or to groups and whispers. Long emotes that may push contestant and/or panelist answers up and therefore force the host or players to take time to go back and re-read are also frowned upon. We want to ensure that the games do not take too long and run within a reasonable estimate. This is for your own enjoyment as well as to ease the various transitions of the game. No one wants a simple 30 to 45 minute game to take up 2 hours!
This isn’t to say that we wish for a silent audience. Feel free to boo or cheer for answers that you dislike or particularly enjoy. Think of it as actually sitting down in a studio audience or at a taped event and please be considerate of your neighbors and those working hard to bring you this entertaining and fun game show!
If you find yourself tempted more and more to give your own answers, why not fill out a simple interview application and try out to be a contestant on a future show!?
Do you Want to be a Contestant
Likely we will be playing two games which should take approximately an hour and a half in total. So we will be looking for four contestants that will be available Sunday October 9th around 7:45, though if you are in the second set of contestants you’re welcome to be a little later.
Each contestant will receive a door prize and any that win gold will have that mailed to them along with their door prize at the end of the event.
To apply to be a contestant on Match Game Azeroth please fill out the following questions and message them to me, Mosur, here on the Earthen Ring Roleplay Network. If you are being considered as a contestant you will be contacted in advance and possibly asked for an interview. If this is the case it will likely be a few quick questions and can be conducted in party or through whispers.
