The Samanayr version of Bingo will be run live on the forum. Each player will receive a randomly-generated Bingo card, and I'll draw numbers until we have a winner! Advanced sign-up will be required to play.1. Janalee

And here's some of the prizes that will be available
There will either be multiple games or first place, second place, etc for one game, depending on how long the games actually take.
The game itself will start tomorrow at 6pm PDT. I'll hand out the digital Bingo cards about 15 minutes before the game starts! The cards will just be GIF images, so you can keep track by marking called squares in Paint or another image editing program, or by printing out the card and marking it by hand.
I've never done Bingo like this before, so I'm not sure how long it's going to take. I would guess one or two hours, though.
If you've never played Bingo before, here's how it works! Your card has 25 squares - 24 of them have numbers, and the center square is the 'free' square (ie you always have it marked off). I call out a number, such as B3, and if you have that number you mark it off on your card. The winner of the game is the first person to get whatever that particular round calls for, such covering as a row or column of numbers, an X from one corner to another, or just covering the four corners.
Shiny fancy new mid-game rules! (new/changed rules in bold)
- Because only one game is being played, there is a limit of one prize per person!
- The first person to get a Bingo will get first pick of the three prizes, the second person to get a Bingo will get second pick, and the third person to get a Bingo will get the remaining prize.
- If you signed up but then discover you won't be able to play after all, please try to let me know so that we can give your spot away to a different player.
- If you're not following the game closely and discover that you should have had a Bingo several numbers ago, or in the previous game, the prize will still go to whoever calls the Bingo first. If two people get a Bingo on the same number, it will be considered a tie.
- In the case of a tie, the winner will be determined randomly.
- If you've got a Bingo (eg you're the winner), just post Bingo! and I'll check your card!
Good luck, see you then!
