Sploofus stoopid question

#1 Post by ne1410s » Tue Nov 18, 2008 4:48 pm

At the top of my sploofus page, it says I have 79 showdown tokens. So what? I can't find anywhere what this means.

TIA

You can challenge other Sploofusers to a trivia Showdown. The challenge is with the person directly ahead of you in the overall standings. If you win, you are awarded an amount equal to 10% of that person's points. If you lose, that person gets 10% of your points. You do not take points from the other player. The points you can win are created ex nihilo.

Thank you, Cal, for answering. I thought that was the case, but, I don't see where it says HOW to issue a challenge. Clicking on "Help" was no help at all...

Go to your MySploofus Page

Toward the bottom in the "links" section, there should be a link for "Trivia Showdowns." Click that.

Then, on the next page, it will tell you who you would be challenging.

If you wish to issue the challenge, click the "Stage a New Showdown!" button.

You have to wait 24 hours between each challenge, but with 79 tokens, you can rack up quite the overall points.

Again, Cal, thank you. I'm gonna give it a try.

Oh, and if you get a player with a handle remarkably similar to mine, just wait a day or two and let me get out of the way. ;)
