Last night, I came up with the idea of starting an rp based on Family Fortunes. This idea came to me after seeing Belchic's topic about teams for that show.
Now, there are some people around here who don't know what Family Fortunes is, so I'll give an explanation about it. Family Fortunes is a UK version of a game show called Family Feud. What makes the UK version different from the American version is that it's a weekly show, there are no returning champions, and winning families get a bonus for getting all five top answers on top of scoring 200+ points in the bonus round, which is called "Big Money" instead of "Fast Money".
In Family Fortunes, the scoring works like this:
Rounds 1, 2, and 3: Single Money
Round 4+: Double Money
Win: Reach £300+
That's the format that will be used in this rp should the idea come through. It's the same format I used on the two fanfics I posted where Patch actually hosts his own version of the show. Also, on his version, which will be carried over to this rp, the prize for getting 200+ points in the Big Money round is £5,000, and the prize for getting all five top answers on top of the 200+ points in that round is a progressive jackpot that starts at £10,000 and increases by £2,500 each time it's not won. Keep in mind that a winning family who gets the 200+ points and all five top answers does not get the £5,000 prize and the progressive jackpot combined.
And during the show, there's only one commercial break, and it starts after the third and final Single Money round and ends before the first Single Money round.
Finally, in some rounds of the main game, there are prizes hidden in one or two answers. The prizes there are called "spot prizes". If a contestant correctly guesses an answer with a spot prize hidden in it, then they won that prize. I didn't add it to my fanfics based on that show, but I'll add it to this rp. All spot prizes in this version, though, will be £100 bonuses instead of non-monetary prizes like a TV or a refrigerator.
So, now that I've gotten all that out of the way, we can get to putting this rp together. This rp will use characters in anthro form, of course. I'll play as Patch, who is hosting this version of the show, and as Thunderbolt, who will only be heard as the announcer at the beginning.
I only need two people to join, each one with a team of five. Remember to give me the names of the families, the names of the members from captain position to anchor position, and where the families come from.
Hopefully, this idea will come through. So, who would like to join?
