<br />
It's time for another video-game caption contest! It should be obvious what to do; you just need to submit a caption for the video-game related image provided, and once the deadline has passed the winner will be determined via a poll.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Things To Keep In Mind...</span><ul class="mycode_list"><li>You do not need to put your caption onto the image.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>One entry per member. If you wish to change your entry, please edit your original entry post.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>All captions should be formatted to use a single line, as I can not place multiple lined entries into polls.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Please do not vote for yourself when voting is open.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Participation is worth one point in Halloween Birthday Bash 2024.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>A victory is worth three points in Halloween Birthday Bash 2024.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>The deadline for entries will be <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">November 26th</span>.<br />

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

<br />
It's time to figure out where in the world I am once again! <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/happy.png" alt="Grin" title="Grin" class="smilie smilie_28" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">How It Works</span><ul class="mycode_list"><li>You only need to name the country in most cases. Guesses that involve areas such as the USA as the answer will require a state as well due to their large size.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Sometimes I might be located on an island, or another location that is not itself a country nor within an actual country. If that location is not a country, then I will treat that location as being the country to which it belongs to as a territory. So if I am located on an island that is a territory of Spain, then Spain will be its country. However, in instances like this, the correct answer can also be the exact territory name if that is given before the name of the country that territory belongs to.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Although this is a team based effort when it comes to narrowing down the answer, you will naturally get more points if you assist more in narrowing down the answer.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Each participant may ask <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">two yes/no questions</span> to narrow down the country <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">per day</span>; however guessing the country/territory/US state itself by name has <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">no limit</span>. Guessing the country/territory incorrectly will <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not reward points</span> though, due to the fact it has unlimited tries.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Asking a yes/no question that results in an answer that notably gets closer to the destination will reward you with 2 points. A yes/no question that results in an answer that does not notably narrow down the answer will reward you with 1 point. Finding the correct country will reward you with 3 points. As an example, if you asked me "Are you located in the continent of Africa?" and I tell you no, that would be worth 1 point because there are still six continents I could be located on. If I were on that continent though, you would have notably narrowed down the answer to get 2 points.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>If you have suggestions for this game at all I welcome you to share it. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_26" /><br />

Here's the photo I took when I arrived at my new location! It's not Dracula's castle, but it'll do. Now, where am I?<br />

<br />
It's time to test your Elite Gaming&#153; skills to see if you can get the high score in this year's Halloween high score challenge! <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/cool.png" alt="Cool" title="Cool" class="smilie smilie_32" /> <br />
<br />
Momo the spell casting cat is back in another instalment of Google's the Magic Cat Academy, where faster casting equals better scoring. The game is playable on both mobile and desktop, so you're free to use whatever device you prefer to play. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/^_^.png" alt="^_^" title="^_^" class="smilie smilie_29" /><br />
<br />
<a href="https://doodles.google/doodle/halloween-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Click here to play the game!</a><br />
<br />
All you need to do is play the game and then share a screenshot of your high score. You may either PM your screenshot to me, or share it in this thread if you feel confident no one will beat you. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/tongue.png" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_56" /><br />
<br />
Participation will be worth one point in our Halloween Birthday Bash 2024 event, and a victory will be worth three points. Submissions will remain open until I give notice that submissions will be closing up, so you have time to try for better scores if you're not satisfied with what you get. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_44" />]]></description>

You may either PM your screenshot to me, or share it in this thread if you feel confident no one will beat you. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/tongue.png" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_56" /><br />
<br />
Participation will be worth one point in our Halloween Birthday Bash 2024 event, and a victory will be worth three points. Submissions will remain open until I give notice that submissions will be closing up, so you have time to try for better scores if you're not satisfied with what you get. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_44" />]]></content:encoded>

Trick or Treat Street is open for business boys and girls, so get a knocking on those doors and see what happens when they open up!<br />
<br />
All players will start with an allocated number of Coins. You then pick a number, and bet a certain amount of your available Coins. You could bet a small number of Coins and only earn/lose a small amount, or risk a higher amount.<br />

</ul>
<span style="color: #fa7e25;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size">Door Contents</span></span><br />

<li>Scared - You may not pick another door for 6 hours instead of the regular 3 hour limit.<br />
</li>
<li>Shackled - Your next coin bet is limited to a maximum of 25% of your coin total. For example, if you have a coin total of 100, your next bet is limited to 25 coins.<br />

<br />
*sigh* The forum turns 18 years old and next thing you know it wants to decide that any time of the year is party time because it's an adult and can't be told what to do. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png" alt="Rolleyes" title="Rolleyes" class="smilie smilie_54" /><br />
<br />
I had actually wanted to start this on Halloween, but school was demanding all of my time so that's why this is a little bit out of season shall we say, but hey, better late than never and maybe if we don't acknowledge Christmas yet it'll keep Mariah Carey at bay. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/whistle.png" alt="Whistle" title="Whistle" class="smilie smilie_25" /><br />
<br />
As always, I'll be running a variety of contests and activities during this event for everyone to participate in, focusing on Halloween, our anniversary, and/or video games! Taking part in the festivities will earn you points that can be cashed in at the end of the event to get yourself some spooky prizes, so even if you're not lucky enough to win you still have a chance to get something!<br />
<br />
You're also welcome to make and/or suggest your own contests and/or activities that are thematically fitting for this event, which will also be eligible for earning points.<br />

*sigh* The forum turns 18 years old and next thing you know it wants to decide that any time of the year is party time because it's an adult and can't be told what to do. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png" alt="Rolleyes" title="Rolleyes" class="smilie smilie_54" /><br />

I had actually wanted to start this on Halloween, but school was demanding all of my time so that's why this is a little bit out of season shall we say, but hey, better late than never and maybe if we don't acknowledge Christmas yet it'll keep Mariah Carey at bay. <img src="https://universalgaming.net/images/smilies/whistle.png" alt="Whistle" title="Whistle" class="smilie smilie_25" /><br />
<br />
As always, I'll be running a variety of contests and activities during this event for everyone to participate in, focusing on Halloween, our anniversary, and/or video games! Taking part in the festivities will earn you points that can be cashed in at the end of the event to get yourself some spooky prizes, so even if you're not lucky enough to win you still have a chance to get something!<br />
<br />
You're also welcome to make and/or suggest your own contests and/or activities that are thematically fitting for this event, which will also be eligible for earning points.<br />
