User STuF gave me the idea of Elite: Dangerous Forum Bingo.
So I ran up some Bingo Cards;

Click Me

If we number them in the order;

1 , 2
3 , 4
5 , 6

(and so on, up to 100)

The idea is, we all pick a number first, then we pick a thread.
To get the card from the site, you can just open the link, hit [PRT SCRN] with the card you want showing and past it in to Paint (or any drawing program/app).
In order to tick off a box, you put the post number for the qualifying post in the thread (#number).

Thoughts, ideas etc welcome :)

How exactly would this work?

When a thread looks like it's going to get "interesting", we all scramble for a card (so pick a number, 1 - 100) and head back to the thread and start.
As each box on the card is "ticked" you can put in the post number in the top right (so a judge can check afterwards).

We can post in the threads, but our own posts cannot be used for our own cards (no cheating now :p ) - so careful what you type, you could give a box away to another bingo player ;)

When starting a game, link the target thread here so we can all gain quick access to it (fair play start, so no one gets lost looking for it)
Thread has to be less than 50 posts to qualify for bingo (or it just becomes a race to word search).

For example;

Anyone for Bingo? I'll take card 56 [Link to thread]


First one to post their completed card (full row or column) wins the bingo for that thread and gains bragging rights :)
Anyone who fills an entire card and claims before anyone else claims any other win (row or column), is the supreme winner and we all have to rep the living daylights out of them until we break the rep button ;)
The game is void if the thread goes without any new posts for 7 days before anyone claims.


How does this sound?
Ideas / suggestions ?

Just is not enough money to make a game is it.
It's been proven to not be enough to get even close to their own timetable for patches and updates, so why I'm surprised I'll never know.

At least the Government tries to hide the fact they are robbing us :p

Too much work.

I'm thinking of a thread between 1 and 10.

It was announced at CitizenCon last October, that Squadron 42 and Star Citizen would be sold seperately sometime in 2016. Maybe they said something about this coming change earlier, but as an original backer (first pledge in Oct 2012) I didn't pay much attention - I have both games in my package.

And the attempts of the Government to hide the fact they are robbing us are pitiful at best :D
