Marathon Wiki
Welcome to the epic final of the 2007 Gameshow Marathon. This game will decide who goes into the Hall of Fame as the winner of the first MafiaScum Gameshow Marathon, and goes on to play Deal or No Deal for $1,000,000! Woo! But first of all, Blockbusters...
The game is played on a grid of 20 interlocking hexagons, arranged in five columns of four. For the first question, a random tile is chosen, and a question is asked, the answer of which begins with the letter found in the tile. Whichever player answers correctly first gets the tile and control of the board and can choose the next tile. The first player to create a line of their color, either from left to right or from top to bottom, wins the round. Best of 3.
Roach - Blue
Logicticus - White
Roach - White
Logicticus - Blue

(You could solve the problem making it first to 2 games ahead, like tennis.)
In a tiebreak situation, the final round is played on a smaller 4x4 grid.

The first post has been updated to show the first grid.
When the first round starts (in 15 minutes), there will be a 5 minute confirmation period for players, so confirm in thread. I will randomly determine each players color. Once this time has elapsed, I will randomly determine the first letter and post the first question.

Roach will be Blue for round 1.
Since you have both confirmed, there is no need for the confirmation period, and so Q1 will be posted at exactly 10:00pm. (In 6 minutes)

You each have one guess, and getting the question incorrect does not immediately give the opponent the tile, so you may as well have a shot...
