You could do personal piles in a "two lies and the truth" style - in which the picker gives 3 relevant answers and the other two have to ferret out the Truth, whoever figures out the truth gets a point, if the streamer who picked the pile stumps the other two they get 2 points.
Appreciate all the thought! Consent is important, especially around personal issues. Maybe have the streamers draw a card / spin a wheel / whatever, and then DM them a question privately. They can choose to answer it or not, they can opt out without any sort of pressure, and also you'll get funny content like people reading the question, exclaiming "What?! No!" and then refusing to answer it, which is in itself enjoyable! :)
Personal question 'Joker Card', they get to replace an answer to a trivia question, for a personal question deemed to be the same 'value'. Have a board of the personal questions visible from the start, say 3 easy ones, 3 medium ones, 3 hard ones. Give each player 2 joker cards. So if they want to come and just play trivia, they can do so, but they have the option of propping up their lack of trivia knowledge with silly personal questions, they will opt in for
A possible option for the gameshow style would be to, like you said have 3 categories but instead of making the personal questions one of the categories, you instead make the three sections: trivia, prediction game, and then Challenges, as in players take on a small challenge to earn points ranging from doing impressions of characters and quoting dialogue to in game stuff (short and simple like maybe a quick dps challenge or something with a character in demo mode) to even potential real life stuff like a handstand or whatnot. This then allows the personal questions to take on the role of a freebie and each contestant only gets some arbitrary number of them (like 3) where it guarantee gives them a flat amount of points for choosing it (preferably somewhere around the median of the point range of other tasks/cards or somewhere on the lower end) and they are given a personal question to respond to, which if they are uncomfortable with answering can ask for a different question to answer. Another option here would be that the person who chooses the personal question is sent 3 questions to choose from upon picking the option of taking the personal question, and these are not made visible to the rest of the participants or viewers. The person given the question can then select one of them to answer, either by stating a number related to the question or reading it out themselves, or identifying it in some way. If the participant is uncomfortable with all of the options, they can ask for one more set of questions or perhaps choose to give up their freebie in exchange for taking a normal option of the other 3 choices: trivia, game, challenge. This gives the participants a lot of control in regards to the personal stuff, choosing to use the freebie in the first place, and allowing for discretion and subtlety. Or at least something like that, not sure if other suggestions have come up, just thought to put this down before I forgot. Good luck with the new ventures!
I absolutely agree with the personal questions being opt-in only An option you have is making the personal question pile worth 1 point (for any answer) while the other piles and minigames are worth 2+ points (if the answer is correct). Additionally, to incentivize people to pick the personal pile you could add "power cards" to it. Things like "your next correct answer is worth 2 additional points" or a "skip card" letting you skip a question and get half the points (rounded up, so it works on personal pile still) Also you could ask about hobbies and such in the personal pile. Things like "What is your favorite non-stream game" or "What is something you could talk about for hours"
that was so funny I loved that silent like request partially because I usually don't like the normal like requests (because I like the video right when I start it) and I love the twist on it
There is pretty good standalone gamequiz based on russian tv show based on usa tv show. Game called "SIGame"(i think website will require autotranslation to eng or ger) original tvshow called "Jeopardy!". Iv used it few times with friends. You can make your own questions including pictures and sound, not sure about video. Very easy to play, but might be hard to setup for the fisrt time. Well basicly its fully working online tvshow that you customise yourself. Not sure if jeopardy format fits your demands.
I had an idea of a way to "discard" a question without explicitly "not answering it". A participant can choose to gamble that one of the other participants would answer it. They would gamble some points, and if somebody else choose to answer it, they both get points based on the gamble. If both the other participants are willing to answer, the one gambling can earn double points, but If no one takes the question it is discarded and the points are lost. Edit: As to the point problem for personal question, it could function similar to a "reverse auction", where you start the question at some point value, and participants can offer to "buy" the question for a lower price. Lowest bid gets the question, and points if answered.
DotaCinema did the thing you described before minute 6, but with multiple options. It was in What the Horse I think, and it was really fun! Also a fun thing could be to give the players ability flavor texts with names redacted and they have to figure out the hero and ability.
dota cinema used to have a video segment called "what the horse" where they did that "guess what happens in this clip" idea. maybe you can get them on the show
(I wroth this at 15 min into the video) The theoretical solution I found is that to have the personal question worth less point (for sake of simplicity let's say it's 1) and the first two decks having a higher value (let's say it's 3) but the first two piles also have "Trap Cards" where your next pull from the same deck has half the value (rounded up or down). No matter how you will make it work I'm looking forward to see how it will turn out best of luck on all the special projects.
My idea for quiz: quiz is done in 2 parts trivia part, clip part. Do one part, use personal questions as an intermission then do next part. make the 3 piles of cards for personal questions only all face up. Then player is choosing from three questions allowing player to choose the most interesting story or choose to avoid questions that are pain point. Could even stack one deck to be specifically safe questions so there's no worry of three pain point cards at same time
The "third pile" could be something like a "never have I ever" game, but instead of losing a live when you have done the thing, you gain a point. So, the objective is to say something about yourself that no one could say about themselves (and it would probably be something interesting and personal).
one idea for the personal questions for the game show is you could send the participants of each show a list of what the personal questions would be beforehand and allow them to tell you and only you if they would like any of them to be opted out for the one game. That way, the ones in the pile or however it ends up being are only ones that all participants felt okay answering
For the "personal" part of the quiz, you can try to find out interesting facts or stories about the participants (or have them supply some), and each participants gets to guess who it is about. Points if you guess correctly.
One way to avoid such trouble is to edit those questions out of the video and let the person pick another one. It is not a fun way to do this, but it is probably the safest method that many other tv shows use.
What if you turned the game into a drinking game, where if they get the trivia question wrong, they take a personal question card and can answer or take a drink, similar to the spill your guts or fill your guts from James Corden.
The boiling point of stuff depends on the pressure around them, oftentimes- especially for things which are traditionally liquid. In space, because pressure is so close to 0, water boils at just about any temperature. Only solid ice can somewhat maintain it's state, because it's solid and can use cohesion to keep itself together. But liquid water will immediately spread outwards in vacuum, and essentially becomes gaseous because there really isn't anything keeping the molecules together to begin with. Effectively, there is no such thing as "liquid" in space. Because anything in a "liquid" state will immediately spread outwards and vaporize because the molecules have no cohesive bonds at all- that's why they're liquid. So they collide with each other, and as physics demands, they fly away from each other because there is nothing else around them to counteract that force. The state of being "liquid" requires some kind of force external to the substance that is keeping it together, but isn't strong enough to force it into a solid state. It doesn't take much, either. Even without gravity, 1 atmosphere of pressure (as exists inside sealed spacecraft) is enough to keep most things as liquids- they sort of globularize as floating wobbly orbs.
Interestingly, when speaking about matter states there are actually just three states of matter. But Liquid isn't one of them. Liquid is a sort of psuedo-state that results when a "gaseous" substance is within an environment with enough pressure (or gravity, or even magnetism!) to keep the molecules of the substance from spreading out radially. The actual three states are solid (which has its own psuedo-state at extremely low levels of thermal energy), gas, and plasma. Plasma is similar to gas, but the thermal energy level is so extraordinarily high that the electrons of the substance break away and become essentially shared by all molecules in the substance (much like in a cohesive solid, though to a far looser and less structured degree) and start flying around willy nilly along constantly shifting electromagnetic patterns. The substance itself, now with most of it's molecules inherently positively charged, will also follow the electromagnetic pattern set by the general somewhat random patterns of it's freely flowing electrons. It becomes very wobbly if there is any kind of external force keeping it together (IE, Stars with their gravitational fields). Otherwise, it just sort of explodes outwards until it's thermal energy is sapped and everything returns to a base gaseous state.
Baumi, suggestion for the personal question The ability to transfer the question to someone else (even to you! would be safe place for them) credit for - @Michael Vincent Batoy
What if you make it a PvP Everyone starts with a set of points (HP) and when answering a question you chose a player, if you answer correctly the targeted player loses points and if you answer wrong you lose points(or maybe if you answer wrong you lose half and the target wins half) , if nobody answers everyone loses points(or maybe half the amount idk) and whoever reaches 0 is out or if cards run out the one with the most points wins I think something like that would force people to be active plus you can grief, throw or come back which would make the game feel more dota-ish
So about the Präsentation of the cardflipping: isent it pretty classic to habe a topdown camera dir this Kind of Stuff? I guess its generic but it's also iconic? Thoughts?
For the third pile, i guess you could do something like asking questions about the participants history, for example, if you call in some youtubers you could ask them "what is your oldest video on your channel?" or something like that
Maybe for the personal pile you can make it so the audience can vote on which answer is funniest/most emotional, and that's the person that gets the points? You could even do something similar for the regular questions when someone gives and incorrect answer, where the audience votes on if the answer was funny and based on the percentage of yes votes they get a smaller amount of points. It would incentivise people giving goofy answers they know is wrong as well which is pretty cool probably.
3rd pile is personal, but it's a modifier. Answer a personal question for a modifier on the next card you draw from another pile. It's a strategic play since it takes a turn.
Hey Baumi You can have something like 100 points for the 2 trivia stacks And 50 or lesser points for the personal stack as an option to skip if you don't know the answer from the first 2 stacks No points lost if you answer wrong
Baumi, maybe put the personal question like a multiplayer bonus, corret = draw a cart that represents a multiple for the next question (maybe 2x to 4x), in that way the competitors may choose tho answer the category
One option would be to put a soft limit on how many cards you can consecutively draw from the same pile, but yes, as Baumi's said, it takes away from player agency while also being hard to keep track of if there are multiple people. Imo, it could be more fun to make it balanced by giving it valuable reward which allows for in-game shenanigans (i.e. allowing to discard a drawn card and still get points for it, stealing a point from another player or forbidding another player to draw from a certain deck, etc.), this way it still keeps the player agency while also allowing them to evaluate whether or not it is worth the risk of answering a question. One other suggestion I saw in the comments was to give the players the questions in advance so that you could get feedback and take out the uncomfortable ones, which sounded good at first but then I realised that this way there is no longer any risk involved when going for the personal questions deck, which kinda defeats the whole purpose, idk? Still I think it's a good idea to make sure your players are comfortable, so maybe do it the other way round and ask them beforehand what are some topics they are not comfortable with being explored and just not include such questions, this way you somewhat get around the issue while keeping the element of surprise. The whole concept sounds a lot of fun, looking forward to it! And as per usual, thanks a lot for consistent work, Baumi, you are a great person and a huge source of inspiration for me. I don't comment a lot, but this brainstorm was too fun to not take part in :) Take care
nice changes of the setup, the halo behind your head might be a bit heavy. Maybe try aiming it to the ceiling? Or just make is a bit wider so make it not that distinct. Best wishes to you!
If you feel like truth of dare poitns are too safe you could either limit accces to that pile (f.e. everyone can choose this pile only 3 times) secondly you could craft ways to each truth or dare for others to score too. They could perhaps get the answer. Or when person drawing picks truth or dare others buzz to take the other option. Just brainstorming here btw... gl with the game!
hi baumi, for your personal pile fermenting pool: You want to have people reveal about themselves but not use it as a mechanic to get ahead. Hence, make it the catch-up mechanic. my quick idea: first, the personal-pile is placed face up, so you see what's coming up. (also have guests check the list beforehand would work, I guess) second, when you take the question, one (! fastest) other guest can also answer the question and the remaining person has to award the point to the better answer. Should by default go to the worse player so you can't really get ahead. perhaps adivse the guests to prefer answers that are really open about themselves over flashy jokes, so it's not undignifying. [also having the pile face up allows for better prepared/ funny answers and people fight properly about the answers] [also also this way, if there are 2 answers, it takes a bit longer but you are fairly sure to get something very entertaining] [also also also having the third player decide sounds questionable but enables the catch-up mechanic since you shuold be objective, he/she isn'. & you learn about the third players opinions as well, giving you the full sweep of the guests on the topic.] I saw some post about doing the show thematic. Since it seems like a long-term format for you not a one-off video you could center each episode around different themes. It could also allow for funny associations of DotA-mechanics if the themes are not dota-related. Also having guests keep their points across episodes sounds fun.
What if there were personal question cards shuffled in the piles and when drawing the card, they didn't know what exact question it was, and could then choose between answering a personal question or drawing next card instead. This way, they could choose personal questions occasionly, if they feel comfortable, to get easier points, but can't choose them every turn.
I feel like rather than making personal question a regular pile, making it into a special pile that triggers over special situations would make it work better But still give them a choice if they want choose that personal pile over another pile while giving it both big rewards and harsh punishment That way it could turn into a spicy wild card that exist once in a while in the game
Any option could be that you ask the personal questions before hand and have the players submit two answers, 1 truth and 1 lie and the question is which is the truth. then the questions could be answered by anyone and you also avoid your dilemma by asking before hand and people could tell you no behind the scenes
About the personal questions for the game show. What about sending only the personal questions to the streamers beforehand, so they can review if they want to answer the questions, without being "on the spot". Then you also have the possibility to remove any "pain" questions beforehand, at their request, and they get to rehearse what they would answer in case they get that question.
You could have every personal card have 3 question where they only need to anwser one and have questions in different directions so anyone could have a question they dont mind answering
Make a pile that YOU draw from that asks public personal questions about all players, and the answer is listing which players meet the criteria of the question. "Which players here focus on Tower Defense Content?"
(22min. into the video btw) Ok so i have 2 ideas here in regards of the personal question cards but first of all i think the participant should be able to review it before the question is revealed so they can think if they want or don't want to answer the question, BUT and here are my ideas: 1.- Based on this thing that i remember Twenty One Pilots do everytime they ask them how they met, the participant could choose (And announce) to answer the question with a full on funny lie and then chat could vote to either give them points or not based on if what they said was funny or not, let the participants imagination and creativity fly! Also a showcase of their entertainment skills as streamers. 2.- The Personal Pile could have some sort of strategy based play or some sort of recovery, what i imagined would be that answered personal questions (Could work with my first option i guess) wouldn't give you points, but it gives you a bonus point multiplier for your next question that you take, something like x2 would be nice, that way participants wouldn't always miss on points for choosing the Personal Pile and it wouldn't be full on punishment for not wanting the other 2 or the meta to just pick personal questions to always get points.
Could set up a rotating group of 9 streamers, 3 to each episode and then begin to shuffle them around, and collect some personal trivia from each player. Use the answers from the players not in the current game for the 3rd pile. The players would have 6 different options for answers each time and wouldn't be answering a question about themself live. Splash in some awkward real life skill trivia to top up the 3rd stack.
Maybe participants can each only draw once or twice from the third pile per game? This way it will not take a lot of overall time, still be able to give free points, but will not have too much impact on the end score? Also, maybe the personal question is at first visible only to the person the will answer, and they can opt out of it without reading it aloud to others?
Could make it so that the personal pile applies a multiplier to your next question, so it still has risk/reward to picking it like other piles, but is still advantageous.
Personal question could be a statement that they have to convince the others contestants as true. This way you can be sure before hand weather the true statement is ok for them. As in ‘would I lie to you’ style
Idk if this comment will get to you. I have no idea how to safely incorporate personal questions but if you are looking for ideas for a third pile it could be lime waaaay harder trivia questions (TBD the level of difficulty) with which you "attack" another player. If he gets it right he gets 2x the normal points and if he gets it wrong he looses 1/2x the normal points while you gain 1/2x normal points (ratios not set in stone). This could be a really strategic/competitive component.
Well then: 1. You got me, usually skip the pause moment because it interrupts the video, but this one was too fast to skip skip and amusing. 2. For the game show to encourage answering: how about adjusting the scoring: 3 for the right answer, 1 for close / plausible (fits DOTA logic), keep the option to +1 if the answer is comedic. 3. For the gameshow guest trivia: split the game into segments and make the guest reintroduce themselves (adjectives, comparisons, entire sentences) every segment in NEW ways, so they get to think about how they want to present themselves. Bonus or penalty points if they do or forget to do so, have them redo if they repeat same words as the last introduction.
Point issue: if i'm did not misunderstood, the problem is that with personal question there are no wrong answer so is a guaranteed point. In that case a solution can be make the personal question more like a challenge themself. If noone challenge the personal question i draw then i got a point. If someone challenge the personal question then the two of us anwer both that question, and all the other judge that answer. If the one that draw the question win, then get a point. An example to explain: Case 1) I draw the personal question "what is the most embarrassing moment in your stream?", noone want to challenge the question so i get 1 point. Case 2) I draw the personal question "what is the most touching moment in your stream?", Person B decide to challenge so Person C will be the judge, we both answer that question and Person C decide if my moment was more or less touching than the Person B's. If the decision is in my favor then i get 1 point. This way pile "personal question" is not a guaranteed point but is still valuable and funny.
How I would go about the gameshow is by first, getting rid of the cards. Or moving them to their own specific segment. I would divide it into rounds, say 3 rounds. Each Round everyone is asked a trivia question worth a point, if they get it wrong someone has a chance to steal it. No one can lose points. Then it would go to a game, which everyone participates in worth 3+ points. Then do a small interview segment asking each contestant a personal question, or a more general question each can answer. This I wouldn't have worth any points. Repeat. That's the base template. Personally I would add a 4th question to each round to skew the points each round before the game to get it a little more competitive, but over the whole game would still be equal. If you still wanted the cards you could either make that 4th question a choice between the stacks, and the harder the deck the more points it's worth. Or make it into a bonus at the end of each round for the losing player as a catch-up mechanic. Now for the decks I would have first be the easy deck which is another personal question, but maybe slightly more personal than the interview segment worth 1 point, or if they choose not to answer 0. As you can't fail the question. The second be the intermediate deck, which is just another normal-in-difficulty trivia question worth 2-3 points depending. And the third pile being the High risk, high reward pile with very difficult or weird questions earning you 5 points if correct, or actually losing you 1 point if you answered incorrectly. These are just my ideas about how I would do it, hopefully it gives you some ideas too. But if you just want to steal the template, by all means go ahead. ;)
The personal question pile could be a "get out of jail" type of thing. Like you draw from one of the other piles, you're not confident in your answer so you get to draw from the personal question pile and answer that instead to get the points. As in, you're not allowed to draw from the personal question pile from start, only as an alternative to something you already drew. I feel this would somewhat mitgate the problem of personal questions being always the optimal choice.
In regards to how to make contestants answer or speak up even if they don't know the answer, maybe you should take a look at the show "Mock The Week". They have question and answer segments where they fire off jokes about the question or thing shown before then answering, ensuring that people speak up and everyone laugh even if you don't know the answer.
Let the personal pile only be pickable x times per game. And another possibility, possibly to be combined with that possibility, have them prepare answers to potential personal questions in advance. That way, the personal pile is almost like a skip that they can use a few times per game. Then the amount of points it gives is less of a big deal, due to the limited uses per game. Obviously just spitballing here. Good luck thinking of a mechanic!
I have a suggestion to the personal question dilemma! Hiw bout asking the contestants to list down questions they're not comfortable with answering maybe that'll help
Maybe have them choose from 2, 3 different options IN the personal question file? The odds of them picking 3 different questions they have a pain point about is low. Might take longer but who knows. You might be able to pull it off.
i would like baumi to dress up in a suit for this, i know it sounds unrealistic but it would be fun seeing him as a game show host (fist comment on your videos btw, have benn watching you since the time you made videos in your moms basement without your t-shirt. enjoy the emberassing memory;)
Suggestion for the card thing. A contestant and choose to draw a personal question card to allow two draw of the other two decks but they can refuse to answer if the question isn't something they want to answer, in turn completely wasting the turn.
If there is a concern that someone doesn't want to answer, they select a random answer you have generated, not relating to any question and use that. It's like they didn't even hear the question. Example: What is your name? Answer that was randomly selected :Inanimate carbon rod.
Give the players the list of personal questions ahead of time so they can review them. That way they can let you know privately if there is anything that they would rather not answer and you can just remove those cards from the pile. Alternatively, you can do the show not live and edit out anything problematic.
Make do every 3 correct trivia answers you have the option to talk about your life and the "talk about your life" is a little third pile so no one HAVE to, but answering can give you some advantage, but you have to play the game in a good way to reach that point.
Wired Idea: you get to poace a devensive card, Like in yugio, and can deflect a trivia card. In second thought, could you do the whole thing in a yugio-esc Design where contestents get to fire Off cards to oponents? Mabey you cannopt out of the Personal one with penalty(fail defense), Just throwing out random Stuff here
Or you can throw out the yugi Element but still have it HP based. By giving every player a Deck and making it a litteral card game it yould solve the suply-issue(spaming Personal(or any other) cards
boomi have become a god of entretaining and dont need talk with people anymore, he just look at you and you understand what to do. (give a thumbs up)
Yeh i went straight for it 😂
And I gave it
Jokes on him, I already like before the video even started.
I wonder how many attempts it took to avoid the smile he's barely suppressing.
I couldn’t help but laugh at him trying not to laugh
9:50 Thank you slightly menacing reminder Baumi, I will like your video.
You could do personal piles in a "two lies and the truth" style - in which the picker gives 3 relevant answers and the other two have to ferret out the Truth, whoever figures out the truth gets a point, if the streamer who picked the pile stumps the other two they get 2 points.
Appreciate all the thought! Consent is important, especially around personal issues. Maybe have the streamers draw a card / spin a wheel / whatever, and then DM them a question privately. They can choose to answer it or not, they can opt out without any sort of pressure, and also you'll get funny content like people reading the question, exclaiming "What?! No!" and then refusing to answer it, which is in itself enjoyable! :)
Personal question 'Joker Card', they get to replace an answer to a trivia question, for a personal question deemed to be the same 'value'.

So if they want to come and just play trivia, they can do so, but they have the option of propping up their lack of trivia knowledge with silly personal questions, they will opt in for
I pushed the like. That walking baumi not talking is just god tier.
A possible option for the gameshow style would be to, like you said have 3 categories but instead of making the personal questions one of the categories, you instead make the three sections: trivia, prediction game, and then Challenges, as in players take on a small challenge to earn points ranging from doing impressions of characters and quoting dialogue to in game stuff (short and simple like maybe a quick dps challenge or something with a character in demo mode) to even potential real life stuff like a handstand or whatnot. This then allows the personal questions to take on the role of a freebie and each contestant only gets some arbitrary number of them (like 3) where it guarantee gives them a flat amount of points for choosing it (preferably somewhere around the median of the point range of other tasks/cards or somewhere on the lower end) and they are given a personal question to respond to, which if they are uncomfortable with answering can ask for a different question to answer. Another option here would be that the person who chooses the personal question is sent 3 questions to choose from upon picking the option of taking the personal question, and these are not made visible to the rest of the participants or viewers.

If the participant is uncomfortable with all of the options, they can ask for one more set of questions or perhaps choose to give up their freebie in exchange for taking a normal option of the other 3 choices: trivia, game, challenge.

31:27
your spin me right round baby right round
but the funnier thing is the concentration in baumi's face
9:50 That's a weird ASL lesson, but I'm here for it
I absolutely agree with the personal questions being opt-in only
An option you have is making the personal question pile worth 1 point (for any answer) while the other piles and minigames are worth 2+ points (if the answer is correct). Additionally, to incentivize people to pick the personal pile you could add "power cards" to it. Things like "your next correct answer is worth 2 additional points" or a "skip card" letting you skip a question and get half the points (rounded up, so it works on personal pile still)
Also you could ask about hobbies and such in the personal pile. Things like "What is your favorite non-stream game" or "What is something you could talk about for hours"
when you answer from the personal pile you can subtract points from an opoonent, if you opt not to, you add points to an opponent
The like pause got me laughing so hard :_DD
Got me too haha
that was so funny I loved that silent like request
partially because I usually don't like the normal like requests (because I like the video right when I start it) and I love the twist on it
9:57 the frace of emberesment me make as hes going awayLOL
There is pretty good standalone gamequiz based on russian tv show based on usa tv show. Game called "SIGame"(i think website will require autotranslation to eng or ger) original tvshow called "Jeopardy!". Iv used it few times with friends. You can make your own questions including pictures and sound, not sure about video. Very easy to play, but might be hard to setup for the fisrt time. Well basicly its fully working online tvshow that you customise yourself. Not sure if jeopardy format fits your demands.
I had an idea of a way to "discard" a question without explicitly "not answering it". A participant can choose to gamble that one of the other participants would answer it.

Edit: As to the point problem for personal question, it could function similar to a "reverse auction", where you start the question at some point value, and participants can offer to "buy" the question for a lower price. Lowest bid gets the question, and points if answered.
DotaCinema did the thing you described before minute 6, but with multiple options. It was in What the Horse I think, and it was really fun! Also a fun thing could be to give the players ability flavor texts with names redacted and they have to figure out the hero and ability.
dota cinema used to have a video segment called "what the horse" where they did that "guess what happens in this clip" idea. maybe you can get them on the show
Omg the pauses are getting better each time 😂❤️
(I wroth this at 15 min into the video) The theoretical solution I found is that to have the personal question worth less point (for sake of simplicity let's say it's 1) and the first two decks having a higher value (let's say it's 3) but the first two piles also have "Trap Cards" where your next pull from the same deck has half the value (rounded up or down). No matter how you will make it work I'm looking forward to see how it will turn out best of luck on all the special projects.
My idea for quiz: quiz is done in 2 parts trivia part, clip part. Do one part, use personal questions as an intermission then do next part. make the 3 piles of cards for personal questions only all face up. Then player is choosing from three questions allowing player to choose the most interesting story or choose to avoid questions that are pain point. Could even stack one deck to be specifically safe questions so there's no worry of three pain point cards at same time
The "third pile" could be something like a "never have I ever" game, but instead of losing a live when you have done the thing, you gain a point. So, the objective is to say something about yourself that no one could say about themselves (and it would probably be something interesting and personal).
god dammit those interrupts are godly 🤣
OMG, I freaking love the pauses in the middle!!!!!!!!!!1
i know you didn't want any feedback on it, but the new way you set up the room looks actually way better than before
Bruh, I was drinking sprite and almost spit it out on my monitor from that "commercial break".
one idea for the personal questions for the game show is you could send the participants of each show a list of what the personal questions would be beforehand and allow them to tell you and only you if they would like any of them to be opted out for the one game. That way, the ones in the pile or however it ends up being are only ones that all participants felt okay answering
Baumi its amazing how much thoughtfulness you put into creating cntent
with the light behind baumi he looks like the rising sun, I like it.
For the "personal" part of the quiz, you can try to find out interesting facts or stories about the participants (or have them supply some), and each participants gets to guess who it is about. Points if you guess correctly.
One way to avoid such trouble is to edit those questions out of the video and let the person pick another one. It is not a fun way to do this, but it is probably the safest method that many other tv shows use.
The pause moments are getting better
The room does actually feel good with new lights
What if you turned the game into a drinking game, where if they get the trivia question wrong, they take a personal question card and can answer or take a drink, similar to the spill your guts or fill your guts from James Corden.
The boiling point of stuff depends on the pressure around them, oftentimes- especially for things which are traditionally liquid. In space, because pressure is so close to 0, water boils at just about any temperature. Only solid ice can somewhat maintain it's state, because it's solid and can use cohesion to keep itself together. But liquid water will immediately spread outwards in vacuum, and essentially becomes gaseous because there really isn't anything keeping the molecules together to begin with. Effectively, there is no such thing as "liquid" in space. Because anything in a "liquid" state will immediately spread outwards and vaporize because the molecules have no cohesive bonds at all- that's why they're liquid. So they collide with each other, and as physics demands, they fly away from each other because there is nothing else around them to counteract that force.
The state of being "liquid" requires some kind of force external to the substance that is keeping it together, but isn't strong enough to force it into a solid state. It doesn't take much, either. Even without gravity, 1 atmosphere of pressure (as exists inside sealed spacecraft) is enough to keep most things as liquids- they sort of globularize as floating wobbly orbs.
Interestingly, when speaking about matter states there are actually just three states of matter. But Liquid isn't one of them. Liquid is a sort of psuedo-state that results when a "gaseous" substance is within an environment with enough pressure (or gravity, or even magnetism!) to keep the molecules of the substance from spreading out radially.
The actual three states are solid (which has its own psuedo-state at extremely low levels of thermal energy), gas, and plasma. Plasma is similar to gas, but the thermal energy level is so extraordinarily high that the electrons of the substance break away and become essentially shared by all molecules in the substance (much like in a cohesive solid, though to a far looser and less structured degree) and start flying around willy nilly along constantly shifting electromagnetic patterns. The substance itself, now with most of it's molecules inherently positively charged, will also follow the electromagnetic pattern set by the general somewhat random patterns of it's freely flowing electrons. It becomes very wobbly if there is any kind of external force keeping it together (IE, Stars with their gravitational fields). Otherwise, it just sort of explodes outwards until it's thermal energy is sapped and everything returns to a base gaseous state.
Baumi, suggestion for the personal question
The ability to transfer the question to someone else (even to you! would be safe place for them)

What if you make it a PvP
Everyone starts with a set of points (HP) and when answering a question you chose a player, if you answer correctly the targeted player loses points and if you answer wrong you lose points(or maybe if you answer wrong you lose half and the target wins half) , if nobody answers everyone loses points(or maybe half the amount idk) and whoever reaches 0 is out or if cards run out the one with the most points wins
I think something like that would force people to be active plus you can grief, throw or come back which would make the game feel more dota-ish
Personal question pile can be like an event that happens after 3/4 questions or continuous right/wrong answers.
Dota cinema did the "guess what happens next thing". It was pretty good and I think you could do a great take on it. It was called "what the horse"
So about the Präsentation of the cardflipping: isent it pretty classic to habe a topdown camera dir this Kind of Stuff? I guess its generic but it's also iconic? Thoughts?
For the third pile, i guess you could do something like asking questions about the participants history, for example, if you call in some youtubers you could ask them "what is your oldest video on your channel?" or something like that
The "Baumi just walks right into the video and does stuff" has become the highlight of the video to me lol
Maybe for the personal pile you can make it so the audience can vote on which answer is funniest/most emotional, and that's the person that gets the points?
You could even do something similar for the regular questions when someone gives and incorrect answer, where the audience votes on if the answer was funny and based on the percentage of yes votes they get a smaller amount of points. It would incentivise people giving goofy answers they know is wrong as well which is pretty cool probably.
Right after Baumi walked in, I hit the like button 😂
the silent pressure. lol
3rd pile is personal, but it's a modifier. Answer a personal question for a modifier on the next card you draw from another pile. It's a strategic play since it takes a turn.
Hey Baumi
You can have something like 100 points for the 2 trivia stacks
And 50 or lesser points for the personal stack as an option to skip if you don't know the answer from the first 2 stacks
No points lost if you answer wrong
Baumi, maybe put the personal question like a multiplayer bonus, corret = draw a cart that represents a multiple for the next question (maybe 2x to 4x), in that way the competitors may choose tho answer the category
i havent see the video yet, but i already liked it cause i know the middle pause its going to be a cool one
One option would be to put a soft limit on how many cards you can consecutively draw from the same pile, but yes, as Baumi's said, it takes away from player agency while also being hard to keep track of if there are multiple people. Imo, it could be more fun to make it balanced by giving it valuable reward which allows for in-game shenanigans (i.e. allowing to discard a drawn card and still get points for it, stealing a point from another player or forbidding another player to draw from a certain deck, etc.), this way it still keeps the player agency while also allowing them to evaluate whether or not it is worth the risk of answering a question.
One other suggestion I saw in the comments was to give the players the questions in advance so that you could get feedback and take out the uncomfortable ones, which sounded good at first but then I realised that this way there is no longer any risk involved when going for the personal questions deck, which kinda defeats the whole purpose, idk? Still I think it's a good idea to make sure your players are comfortable, so maybe do it the other way round and ask them beforehand what are some topics they are not comfortable with being explored and just not include such questions, this way you somewhat get around the issue while keeping the element of surprise.
The whole concept sounds a lot of fun, looking forward to it! And as per usual, thanks a lot for consistent work, Baumi, you are a great person and a huge source of inspiration for me. I don't comment a lot, but this brainstorm was too fun to not take part in :)
Take care
nice changes of the setup, the halo behind your head might be a bit heavy. Maybe try aiming it to the ceiling? Or just make is a bit wider so make it not that distinct. Best wishes to you!
can somebody link a vod so something of that stream?
If you feel like truth of dare poitns are too safe you could either limit accces to that pile (f.e. everyone can choose this pile only 3 times) secondly you could craft ways to each truth or dare for others to score too. They could perhaps get the answer. Or when person drawing picks truth or dare others buzz to take the other option. Just brainstorming here btw... gl with the game!
hi baumi, for your personal pile fermenting pool:
You want to have people reveal about themselves but not use it as a mechanic to get ahead. Hence, make it the catch-up mechanic.
my quick idea:
first, the personal-pile is placed face up, so you see what's coming up. (also have guests check the list beforehand would work, I guess)
second, when you take the question, one (! fastest) other guest can also answer the question and the remaining person has to award the point to the better answer. Should by default go to the worse player so you can't really get ahead. perhaps adivse the guests to prefer answers that are really open about themselves over flashy jokes, so it's not undignifying.
[also having the pile face up allows for better prepared/ funny answers and people fight properly about the answers]
[also also this way, if there are 2 answers, it takes a bit longer but you are fairly sure to get something very entertaining]
[also also also having the third player decide sounds questionable but enables the catch-up mechanic since you shuold be objective, he/she isn'. & you learn about the third players opinions as well, giving you the full sweep of the guests on the topic.]
I saw some post about doing the show thematic. Since it seems like a long-term format for you not a one-off video you could center each episode around different themes. It could also allow for funny associations of DotA-mechanics if the themes are not dota-related. Also having guests keep their points across episodes sounds fun.
What if there were personal question cards shuffled in the piles and when drawing the card, they didn't know what exact question it was, and could then choose between answering a personal question or drawing next card instead.
This way, they could choose personal questions occasionly, if they feel comfortable, to get easier points, but can't choose them every turn.
I feel like rather than making personal question a regular pile, making it into a special pile that triggers over special situations would make it work better
But still give them a choice if they want choose that personal pile over another pile while giving it both big rewards and harsh punishment
That way it could turn into a spicy wild card that exist once in a while in the game
9:50 aah minimalims, got the message baumi ill do it
the game show sounds amazing! looking forward to it.
Any option could be that you ask the personal questions before hand and have the players submit two answers, 1 truth and 1 lie and the question is which is the truth. then the questions could be answered by anyone and you also avoid your dilemma by asking before hand and people could tell you no behind the scenes
About the personal questions for the game show. What about sending only the personal questions to the streamers beforehand, so they can review if they want to answer the questions, without being "on the spot". Then you also have the possibility to remove any "pain" questions beforehand, at their request, and they get to rehearse what they would answer in case they get that question.
Today we have Quiet Baumi
You could have every personal card have 3 question where they only need to anwser one and have questions in different directions so anyone could have a question they dont mind answering
so the darklord thing is just in the past now? pure curiosity
Make a pile that YOU draw from that asks public personal questions about all players, and the answer is listing which players meet the criteria of the question. "Which players here focus on Tower Defense Content?"
(22min. into the video btw) Ok so i have 2 ideas here in regards of the personal question cards but first of all i think the participant should be able to review it before the question is revealed so they can think if they want or don't want to answer the question, BUT and here are my ideas:
1.- Based on this thing that i remember Twenty One Pilots do everytime they ask them how they met, the participant could choose (And announce) to answer the question with a full on funny lie and then chat could vote to either give them points or not based on if what they said was funny or not, let the participants imagination and creativity fly! Also a showcase of their entertainment skills as streamers.
2.- The Personal Pile could have some sort of strategy based play or some sort of recovery, what i imagined would be that answered personal questions (Could work with my first option i guess) wouldn't give you points, but it gives you a bonus point multiplier for your next question that you take, something like x2 would be nice, that way participants wouldn't always miss on points for choosing the Personal Pile and it wouldn't be full on punishment for not wanting the other 2 or the meta to just pick personal questions to always get points.
Could set up a rotating group of 9 streamers, 3 to each episode and then begin to shuffle them around, and collect some personal trivia from each player. Use the answers from the players not in the current game for the 3rd pile. The players would have 6 different options for answers each time and wouldn't be answering a question about themself live. Splash in some awkward real life skill trivia to top up the 3rd stack.
Maybe a spin-the-wheel thing for the personal question and that they can choose what wheel they want or something
And maybe make it a bonus thing each round
Maybe participants can each only draw once or twice from the third pile per game?
This way it will not take a lot of overall time, still be able to give free points, but will not have too much impact on the end score?
Also, maybe the personal question is at first visible only to the person the will answer, and they can opt out of it without reading it aloud to others?
The new setup does look very good! :)
So far the quiz show concepts sounds like College Humor's Um, Actually DOTA 2 edition and honestly that sounds like a good thing to me
Could make it so that the personal pile applies a multiplier to your next question, so it still has risk/reward to picking it like other piles, but is still advantageous.
Personal question could be a statement that they have to convince the others contestants as true. This way you can be sure before hand weather the true statement is ok for them. As in ‘would I lie to you’ style
The like reminders are just getting better xD
Idk if this comment will get to you. I have no idea how to safely incorporate personal questions but if you are looking for ideas for a third pile it could be lime waaaay harder trivia questions (TBD the level of difficulty) with which you "attack" another player. If he gets it right he gets 2x the normal points and if he gets it wrong he looses 1/2x the normal points while you gain 1/2x normal points (ratios not set in stone). This could be a really strategic/competitive component.
Baumi, suggestion for the personal question:
The ability to transfer the question to someone else (even to you! would be safe place for them)
Well then:
1. You got me, usually skip the pause moment because it interrupts the video, but this one was too fast to skip skip and amusing.
2. For the game show to encourage answering: how about adjusting the scoring: 3 for the right answer, 1 for close / plausible (fits DOTA logic), keep the option to +1 if the answer is comedic.
3. For the gameshow guest trivia: split the game into segments and make the guest reintroduce themselves (adjectives, comparisons, entire sentences) every segment in NEW ways, so they get to think about how they want to present themselves. Bonus or penalty points if they do or forget to do so, have them redo if they repeat same words as the last introduction.
Bonus for encouraging answering: make the question / card / point contested by giving it (fully or partially) to the closest or most comedic answer.
Point issue: if i'm did not misunderstood, the problem is that with personal question there are no wrong answer so is a guaranteed point. In that case a solution can be make the personal question more like a challenge themself. If noone challenge the personal question i draw then i got a point. If someone challenge the personal question then the two of us anwer both that question, and all the other judge that answer. If the one that draw the question win, then get a point.
An example to explain:
Case 1) I draw the personal question "what is the most embarrassing moment in your stream?", noone want to challenge the question so i get 1 point.
Case 2) I draw the personal question "what is the most touching moment in your stream?", Person B decide to challenge so Person C will be the judge, we both answer that question and Person C decide if my moment was more or less touching than the Person B's. If the decision is in my favor then i get 1 point.
This way pile "personal question" is not a guaranteed point but is still valuable and funny.
How I would go about the gameshow is by first, getting rid of the cards. Or moving them to their own specific segment.
I would divide it into rounds, say 3 rounds.
Each Round everyone is asked a trivia question worth a point, if they get it wrong someone has a chance to steal it. No one can lose points. Then it would go to a game, which everyone participates in worth 3+ points. Then do a small interview segment asking each contestant a personal question, or a more general question each can answer. This I wouldn't have worth any points. Repeat.
That's the base template.
Personally I would add a 4th question to each round to skew the points each round before the game to get it a little more competitive, but over the whole game would still be equal.
If you still wanted the cards you could either make that 4th question a choice between the stacks, and the harder the deck the more points it's worth. Or make it into a bonus at the end of each round for the losing player as a catch-up mechanic.
Now for the decks I would have first be the easy deck which is another personal question, but maybe slightly more personal than the interview segment worth 1 point, or if they choose not to answer 0. As you can't fail the question. The second be the intermediate deck, which is just another normal-in-difficulty trivia question worth 2-3 points depending. And the third pile being the High risk, high reward pile with very difficult or weird questions earning you 5 points if correct, or actually losing you 1 point if you answered incorrectly.
These are just my ideas about how I would do it, hopefully it gives you some ideas too. But if you just want to steal the template, by all means go ahead. ;)
maybe the personal question is stated before the round (different one every round). so if people want to opt in at that point they can or not.
The personal question pile could be a "get out of jail" type of thing. Like you draw from one of the other piles, you're not confident in your answer so you get to draw from the personal question pile and answer that instead to get the points. As in, you're not allowed to draw from the personal question pile from start, only as an alternative to something you already drew. I feel this would somewhat mitgate the problem of personal questions being always the optimal choice.
In regards to how to make contestants answer or speak up even if they don't know the answer, maybe you should take a look at the show "Mock The Week". They have question and answer segments where they fire off jokes about the question or thing shown before then answering, ensuring that people speak up and everyone laugh even if you don't know the answer.
This is probably like way too late, but the personal question pile could be a multiplier for that person if they answer the next question correctly.
Let the personal pile only be pickable x times per game. And another possibility, possibly to be combined with that possibility, have them prepare answers to potential personal questions in advance.
That way, the personal pile is almost like a skip that they can use a few times per game. Then the amount of points it gives is less of a big deal, due to the limited uses per game.
Obviously just spitballing here. Good luck thinking of a mechanic!
9:50 what hahaha
I have a suggestion to the personal question dilemma! Hiw bout asking the contestants to list down questions they're not comfortable with answering maybe that'll help
The aggressive pointing of the like button, has made me create 5 accounts to like this video.
Maybe have them choose from 2, 3 different options IN the personal question file? The odds of them picking 3 different questions they have a pain point about is low. Might take longer but who knows. You might be able to pull it off.
i would like baumi to dress up in a suit for this, i know it sounds unrealistic but it would be fun seeing him as a game show host
(fist comment on your videos btw, have benn watching you since the time you made videos in your moms basement without your t-shirt. enjoy the emberassing memory;)
Baumi post more of atomic wars!!! That was really fun to watch
Suggestion for the card thing. A contestant and choose to draw a personal question card to allow two draw of the other two decks but they can refuse to answer if the question isn't something they want to answer, in turn completely wasting the turn.
Maybe the contestants could peek at 3 questions and pick one to answer. That way nobody else knows what questions they choose to avoid.
If there is a concern that someone doesn't want to answer, they select a random answer you have generated, not relating to any question and use that. It's like they didn't even hear the question. Example: What is your name? Answer that was randomly selected :Inanimate carbon rod.
Don't mind me, I'm just lurking around
I cant really find it find it online but my physics teacher once said that interstellar space is 1 Kelvin above absolute 0
Give the players the list of personal questions ahead of time so they can review them. That way they can let you know privately if there is anything that they would rather not answer and you can just remove those cards from the pile.
Alternatively, you can do the show not live and edit out anything problematic.
Alright. It's very effective baumi haha
Make do every 3 correct trivia answers you have the option to talk about your life and the "talk about your life" is a little third pile so no one HAVE to, but answering can give you some advantage, but you have to play the game in a good way to reach that point.
Wired Idea: you get to poace a devensive card, Like in yugio, and can deflect a trivia card. In second thought, could you do the whole thing in a yugio-esc Design where contestents get to fire Off cards to oponents? Mabey you cannopt out of the Personal one with penalty(fail defense), Just throwing out random Stuff here
Or you can throw out the yugi Element but still have it HP based. By giving every player a Deck and making it a litteral card game it yould solve the suply-issue(spaming Personal(or any other) cards
Personal Question if answered adds points to the next trivia question they answer
I wish we could watch the duels.
