Official Xbox Live Primetime Thread (1 vs. 100) - Schedules! Prizes! Trading?

[Jeremy517]

I actually got in the mob tonight, but didn't realize it and timed out on the first question. Oh well, the guy ended up taking the money after five or so questions.

[TLwizard]

Here's a question Boba Fett since you became "the One."

How often have you done the extended play? Do you always get the questions right, always do it superfast? Do you feel that your participation in the EP accurately reflects why you were chosen to be the One? Because they say to get picked, you have to always play, always answer fast and answer right.

[Jcheckel]

Made it to the mob again tonight, I was one of the 13 that missed mausoleum, the wortst part was as soon as I hit it I realized I hit the wrong thing. What was with More than 20 people in the mob missing 3 questions real early on including the first 2. 25 people missed submarine sandwich?!?!?!?!

[TLwizard]

Can I ask how you think you got in the mob, especially since it seems you've been in more than once? Do you play the EP a lot?

I've only been able to play the last few weeks but can't wait for the new season to start!

[Jcheckel]

Luck. This was the first live seesion I've played in over a month. And I've played maybe two or the rounds of extended play in the last month.

[pinata242]

I stopped playing after a few weeks because there were no prizes. Once they started, I figured I was too far behind the dedicated folks to have a chance at a selection. So I decided to wait for the start of a fresh season.

Once it kicks back up, I plan to play a lot again.

On the first week of beta I played extended play nearly every time before quitting.

When they started giving out prizes I logged into two or three Live games and got into the mob once before losing. A few weeks after being in the mob I popped back into the game and got picked as the One almost immediately. That's the extent of my time invested into the game.

When I answer questions though I'm super quick and right 90% of the time though.

[darkside]

I played quite a bit. Always answered fast, always had 90% of my answers right and was usually the leader in my group and never got into the Mob. I think there is luck involved more than anything else. Especially when you see all those people in the mob every round that miss the easiest questions. However, I still had a lot of fun playing and hope it comes back next year. Even playing from the crowd was fun.

[RVP]

Does anyone know when this is coming back up? Or is it done for the year?

[pinata242]

I think they've started back up in Canada this weekend...? I haven't heard anything official through any of the gaming sites I follow.

Season 2 PR:

Your Avatar is dressed to the nines. The crowd is restless and ready to win. The spotlight shines on you when the host calls your name. Are you ready to play “1 vs 100” on Xbox LIVE? The entertainment phenomenon that took Xbox LIVE by storm is hitting your Xbox 360 again with Season 2 of “1 vs 100” on Xbox LIVE!

Based on Endemol’s hit TV game show, Xbox has pioneered a completely new genre of entertainment. Bringing together the best of television show experiences and interactive video games, “1 vs 100” Season 2 on Xbox LIVE will again feature Chris Cashman as the comedic live host everyone has come to love, all-new fresh trivia, and more real prizes.

“1 vs 100” Season 2 will run for 14 weeks and bring you new and exciting features. Get the inside scoop (and a jump start on the questions) by answering the following:

Question 1: “1 vs 100” Season 2 will premier on Xbox LIVE:
A: November 19, 2009 at 5:00 pm PT
B: November 24, 2009 at 5:00 pm PT
C: New Years Eve at 5:00 pm PT

Question 2: In “1 vs 100” Season 2, your chances of taking center stage are cooler than ever. During “1 vs 100 Live” shows, “The One” and “The Mob” will be selected based on:
A: Score, speed, accuracy, and number of Achievements you’ve earned.
B: Score, score, score – totals across the Season, the week and the round!
C: How many pigeons you have in your back yard.

The answer to question one is…. A: November 19 at 5:00 pm PT!
The answer to question two is…..B: Score, score, score – totals across the Season, the week and the round!

The higher your score, the higher your chances of being chosen as “The One,” or “The Mob.” Being “the One” is exciting and intense! So, if you’re chosen as “the One” in “1 vs 100” Season 2, Xbox LIVE will automatically change your status to “Busy.” You’ll also enjoy more time in the spotlight – “the One” will strike a pose at the top of the stairs before strolling down to center stage.

Beginning on November 19, “1 vs 100 Extended Play” will feature brand new themed trivia every weeknight including “Finish the Lyrics” (are you a Karaoke champ? What’s the next line in this song?), “80s” (how well do you know the 80s?), and “Vampires” (you love Twilight and True Blood. How much do you really know about vampires?)

We let the Xbox LIVE community speak for itself – on average more than half a million unique contestants competed in “1 vs 100” every single week during the 15 week Beta season of “1 vs 100,” which launched on June 1, 2009. Up to 114,000 people in the US and Canada, and 79,000 people in the UK and Ireland competed simultaneously in “1 vs 100 Live” shows. Microsoft even awarded nearly two million Microsoft points as prizes during the Beta season! “1 vs 100” was also downloaded nearly three million times making it one of the top 10 most downloaded pieces of content on Xbox LIVE to date.

So read up on your current events, and see you at the premiere of “1 vs 100” Season 2! Tune in next week for more details…

Extended play begins November 19th.

Looking forward to it, but I don't think I can take much more of clueless people getting into the mob and/or to be "The One". It sounds like they've thrown the "speed" requirement out the window, so this may be less likely now.

[pinata242]

I'm interested to see what they've done to improve the experience and I'll probably play quite a bit.

[MoviePage]

Great news. I'll play as often as possible too.

[discostu1337]

Guess I missed season 1. All I remember is the beta testing and the "no real prizes" stuff a few months back, then it was gone. I guess that is season 1? I tried numerous times back then to play, but it was always just answering questions, never a 1v100 game. Lame, so I stopped caring.

[Groucho]

Season 1 was beta, but after a few weeks they added prizes. Also, the live game is on Friday and Saturday nights, the other times are extended play.

[porieux]

They should just keep this going permanently instead of this 'seasons' crap. Most of it is automated anyway and it's not like the questions don't repeat...

[pinata242]

Achievements revealed, though I think "Conquer The Mob 3 times - 15G" is asking a bit much: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/g.../achievements/

That's got to be the most ridiculous achievement I've ever seen.

Unless it counts if you're in the crowd.

[Liver&Onions]

Punkd had potential to be funny once in a while...

[pinata242]

On this day, in this very thread, that potential was fully realized.

Great game tonight. Anyone else play? I love the leveling system and new dance moves "The Carlton" and "The Elaine"
