Who is happy with the latest Who Am I? being changed into a daily game instead of an hourly game? I really miss playing this game hourly. How do you feel?
Don't know if I've posted this in the right thread, but I'm sure I'll be told if it's not!

It might be interesting to see if there is a drop off in numbers once quite a few people have got the 5000 point badge. Reply #21. Mar 19 10, 11:17 AM |

Hey, bubbatom1. You're not the only one feeling a little bit annoyed about Who Am I? being a daily game, but if Terry's going to change it, it would be best to just go along with what he does, being the big boss around here he's got all the corporate powers to do so.

In today's Who Am I one of my questions had (among the possible 6 answers) this Equine Triple Crown winner Equine Triple Crown winner (plus 4 different possible answers) I'm not sure if it was just a server mistake or if you have two identical despriptions for different questions? May it be a problem when the question will be about a horse (this time it was a human, so it wouldn't matter which "Equine Triple Crown winner" I would have chosen). Reply #23. Mar 24 10, 7:29 AM |

I asked the same question in the forums, and I was told that if that was the case, then neither of those answers will ever be the right answer. Reply #24. Mar 24 10, 8:51 AM |

I like being able to go back and play easier questions now. It is quite a stress-reliever to blow through 15 easy questions in some 30-40 seconds. :D Reply #25. Mar 27 10, 8:31 PM |

Will the changes to Who Am I ever stop? I won the monthly game when it was an hourly game under the rules before last and there was no badge for that. I played 500 games in a month to win it. I never played it much when the scoring system changed last time but I have started playing the easier game now but I started late and I am far behind. It is called the easier game but who is it easier for, the questions have a bigger American bias than ever before. Reply #26. May 14 10, 1:46 PM |

Bigger American bias? Are you kidding? There was one, maybe two, Americans in my set today. Reply #28. May 15 10, 12:37 PM |

I am not trying to start an argument friend, I am just pointing out the number of American questions in the WAI quizzes I have been doing. Nice to see not everyone is getting them, I hope I don't in the future. Reply #29. May 15 10, 1:22 PM |

I'm thinking of stopping playing, I've got all the badges so no real point playing anymore apart from getting funtrivia points. I don't really enjoy playing anymore, it used to be my favourite game there are too many non-entities in it now. Reply #31. May 15 10, 11:32 PM |

I prefer it the way it is now and the fact you can choose hard or easy and with the hard version get team points. Go Devious Demons Reply #32. May 16 10, 5:18 AM |

To be honest, I rarely get Americans in Who am I? I find that I can guess a lot based on the language of their names. This is not directly to the person who mentioned American questions, but I hate when people pipe on about "American bias" like being American means you know everything about baseball for example. It doesn't! There are plenty non-Americans who know more about America than Americans and same for other countries! Sorry, this wasn't really the right place to post this :/ To answer the thread, I prefer Who Am I like this. It was nice to be able to repeat the game, but it's nicer to have the Easy division, and I like the Whozit points. :) Reply #33. May 16 10, 7:55 AM |

Thank you for your comments Richard, I have a name too. Sorry to just pipe on but are you really denying that there has been an American bias on FT, when I first joined a couple of years ago lots of people were on about it, even Americans. It has got better and I never implied that everyone in the US knows all the US questions nor am I anti-American. It may be that it was just the group of questions I have been getting on the easy version and I wanted to know what other people have found and which version of WAI they liked best. I hope you enjoy living in Scotland. Reply #34. May 16 10, 8:38 AM |

I think that FunTrivia does a great job at being international. It is a US site, afterall. If I were to play on a trivia site based in the UK, I would certainly expect to find things prone to be somewhat UK oriented. "Who Am I" seems to me to be quite UK/Europe-friendly. Reply #35.

You could be right about if it was UK based and it may be that I have just hit a certain group of questions. I played WAI today, the easier game and 8 of the 15 were US based answers. Perhaps I should try the hard game. Reply #36. May 16 10, 11:53 AM |

I like the new daily game with easier questions and the 5000 point badge goal, love it! Reply #37. May 16 10, 10:18 PM |

Of all the recent FT changes the one I hated was the change of WAI from an hourly to a daily game - but I was one of those WAI geeks that rattled out up to 18 games a day (sneakily at work as well as at home!). I loved the hourly WAI, and I guess along with Word Wizard it was/is my best game. However I've acclimatised to the change - and having it as a daily game makes me more focused about trying to do well, there's just the one shot! So I can live with the change. As a non-American, Bernie, I do disagree with you about the American bias. That is definitely there in a lot of FT games (understandably in some cases) but I don't find it in WAI. In fact in the old format I used to wonder how, for example, Americans could possibly know that William Tarmey was an actor in Coronation Street! There wasn't the same problem generally for us with American sit-coms. I think on the whole it's pretty well balanced between American, European and Australasian (not so much Asian and African). WAI has definitely got harder in the new format, with MUCH less repetition - and that's a good challenge as far as I'm concerned. Reply #38. May 19 10, 1:44 PM |

Sorry - looking at Shiningstar's post - I should clarify that my references are to the Champions set. Reply #39. May 19 10, 1:46 PM |

In the Champions division there is no easy set, just hard or harder. Reply #40. May 19 10, 11:35 PM |
