I don't know the exact criteria; however, I played the extended play session last night, and during one of the breaks the announcer said that playing in the extended play games (and answering questions correctly) had some influence on who is chosen for the mob, or to be the one.

Also: if we get put in the same group again, we should party up.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Dr. Phil was not actually a doctor of psychology.

That doesn't seem to be true at all. I played every extended session last week with FSUNole and we did very well, (he even got into the top 10 for one game.) Yet when the live game came around, neither one of us got into the mob. In fact, one of our friends who hadn't played the game that much got into the mob. It pissed me off and made me think that it has more to do with accuracy than anything else. So if you play for one round and do very well and then wait until the live game, I think that you have a much better chance at getting into the mob.

Exactly like that, kakihara1. However I can already predict brianluvdvd's response to reading this thread.

[brianluvdvd] God, what a bunch of douches. Did y'all take a bunch of asshole pills? Y'all can eat my ass, I'm going to go play Lips. Pussies.[/brianluvdvd]

I have a feeling the Beta contestants are people who are new to the Xbox. If you looked at the gamerscores for people who were The One, they were all really low...like I even saw one in the hundreds if I remember correctly. Also - with 40-70k people playing, getting picked is going to be really random anyway, so I'd much rather wait for a real game where I can win something.

One guy had 80 the other night. Plus, both the live games I played had around 100,000 people playing for the duration, so it isn't that big of a surprise that it'd be a touch random.

I think they just got it just right, Brianluvdvd. Eric D was sounding just like you that night when someone who we we playing with got in the mob and hadn't spent the week doing extended play like we had been.

There was even a guy they chose with a gamerscore of 0!

Are there still horror stories of a barrage of friend requests for those chosen as the one?

If there weren't prizes involved (and it was open to Silver, I guess ), I could see creating a special 1v100 account.

We may possibly have to pay to play this one.

Hopefully they keep it free for people already paying for Live, but if not this kind of sucks especially since it is also advertisement supported.

Destructoid has had some speculation on that Season Pass thing too. No idea what it could possibly be since they have promised that 1v100 would be free for Gold Members.

If it's a Silver+1v100 thing, that's fine with me. If it's some sort of thing you pay for to not have to schedule reminders, that's fine too. But if they make me pay for the game, I don't know that I would.

I would be fine with that to since my girlfriend only plays scene-it with me, but I would shell out for a silver+ kind of thing so she could play this with me.

BOO!!
Great. Vermont is excluded in the prizes too. This sucks.

So i spotted a repeat question tonight. The "Are you a pothead focker?" quote question has been used in a previous episode. I wonder how many other questions have been repeated?

I wonder though if they are only repeating questions on extended play . Otherwise if those were all new too that would be a lot of work. I was on that game last night but got booted not long after that question

That just plain sucks .. Does that mean that potentially the live games will be the same (with Maryland excluded from winning prizes)?
