Made it into the mob last night (Lost on the 4th Question) and tonight. Tonight I WON in the Mob! I won Age of Booty AND 400 MS Points! (The one failed to answer this question:
Which Competition Singer sang at the 2009 NBA Finals:
X - Susan Boyle
A - Adam Lambert
B - Kris Allen
The answer was A.)
I am Stoked!!!
Have Any other CAG's won anything?
 
I got in the mob tonight and I hadn't played for at least 2 weeks, I popped in @ 9:30 est and got plopped in the blue.



... but then I lost on the same question the one did (Bering Strait). FML

Have they changed how getting picked for the mob/one works? I might start playing this again if you don't have to put in 2-3 hours a night all week for a slight chance to be in the mob.
 
I dunno. I just assume it's completely random, and when there's upwards to 40,000 people playing at once, your chances aren't going for you. I was just extremely lucky.
 
Nope, tens of thousands of people are playing... they only select a hundred people randomly to be in The Mob, everyone else is in The Crowd.
 
Anybody been able to get into tonight's live event? Neither me or my friends could get into it and wonder if it is messed up from the xbox live update this week?
 
Tonight's Game has been canceled. Shame. Tomorrow there will be an update as to the Live Game's status.
Edit: Just checked my email today and I have 2 emails with my 400 Points code and my Age of Booty Code from my Mob win a couple of weeks ago. SWEET!
 
For whatever reason, they were having problems according to their twitter account. They gave up for the night about half an hour or so, but seem positive about having it fixed in time for tomorrow night. Figures to, seeing how it was the first time I got a chance to play it in 3 weeks. >_>
 
[quote name='sendme']Hold on so now they are giving away stuff for playing?[/QUOTE]

they have been for like 3 or 4 weeks.
 
They had more technical problems last night. About half an hour into the game, I was unceremoniously kicked into the lobby. When I came back in, there was a new One playing and the Mob dropped from ~80 to two with one easy question (presumably because they were all kicked too).
 
Just tried this out for the first time tonight. For some reason I just can't get into it.

It seems like the questions are overwhelmingly pop culture oriented, which leads to huge scores for opponents who then get questions like: "What is the common name for Sodium Bicarbonate?" wrong.

I think I'll stick to the games with specific themes, rather than playing Primetime.
 
I don't get the scoring. I played some Primetime last night, and I got every question right so far. I wasn't hitting the button as soon as the question came up, but neither was I dawdling. My score was like 6k, and the top scorer was at around 12k.
I think it's fun enough for an episode or two, but I definitely think I'll be more interested in the themed shows. The odds of me getting picked to even be in the Mob are frustratingly low.
 
I didn't understand that either. It's like some people's scores counted for the last question, other's didn't.

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…

It's good that they're changing up how they're picking The Mob and The One, but the lack of pricing info is disappointing since it starts next week. If it was going to be free again, they'd have mentioned it by now.
 
I really hope they don't put a price on it this season. It was a great way for my family and I to get together and just have some fun for a night but if I have to pay for it on top of the $50 for my membership, it may not happen again.
 
They never said after BETA that it was going to continue to be free but I really doubt they will charge for this season.

Will they eventually charge? Probably.
 
[quote name='TrueBlueLS']I thought they stated in the beginning that 1 vs 100 was going to be a free service to XBL.[/QUOTE]
No, they said the first season would be free and haven't said anything about the second season yet.
 
Definitely post if you hear if it's going to be free or not. This was the one reason I wanted to make my Live account gold. Too much of a PC gamer to get a kick out of most console games online, but I had a great time playing this co-op with a couch full of people. Not so much I want to spend more than a gold subscription on it, though.
 
From the Learn More part of the 1 vs 100 section of the Spotlight tab on the dashboard:

"Season 2 of 1 vs 100 on Xbox Live is free with a Gold Membership."

It also specifically mentions achievements, so that seems like it'll finally be happening.

Newb question: how do I download this game or do I download anything? There's no mention of how to download it on their site, nor if a download is even required. What I did see is that apparently the live show is on Friday night, not Thursday (the 19th)? But what time?
