New old games in the J-Archive

[ahirbhairav]

We have a complete backup of the Jeoparchive (no need to go to the wayback machine).

For you, maybe!

I'd thought it was all ready to be archived at the push of a button, pending any sort of a "go" sign from tdciago herself.


More FJ wagering fun detected: in a game I can't remember, a tie for second place at, say, $8,200. One wagers $8,000, the other wagers $8,175. Both get it right, and first place gets it wrong (of course). And in the Christmas Eve game: third place in negative, second place $8,800, first place $13,200. Perfect two-thirds match, with no pesky third place mucking things up for anyone! So second place wagers $4,401. She is punished for her wager by getting it wrong. Not to be outdone, first place has bet $10,000, and gets it wrong too! Way to go!

tdciago probably doesn't know about this board. Or does she?

I'm pretty sure she more or less quit Jeopardy around the UToC. I'd imagine she's aware of the board.

With the upcoming summer hiatus coming up soon, I hope you don't mind me making these requests for possible "new" Archive entries or possible YouTube intro uploads for this summer.

J-ARCHIVE ENTRIES
Any episodes from the 1990-91, 1991-92, and/or 1994-95 seasons (I don't care if they're regular or tournament episodes)

YOUTUBE INTRO UPLOADS
The intro to the Feb-Mar 1999 Teen Tournament (the one that Melissa Sexstone won)
The intro to the Summer 1999 Armed Forces Week

This YouTube user has some games uploaded that are not in the Archive yet:

Also, can you work on finishing adding the rest of Season 13 and also getting the rest of Season 20 from the old Jeoparchive site?

Robert had chimed in on your second point earlier. He has written a script that will input all of season 20 from Ronnie's old site (which has been saved to the j-archive server), but not all of the bugs have been worked out yet. And I thought you were interested in joining the archive team. What happened with that?

I am still interested in joining the archive team and I had asked Robert KS about it last summer but I never heard back. What do I do next to get on board the archive? I've got lots of episodes that need to be archived.

I know Robert had had some technical issues with adding members to the team, but I believe those issues got fixed. I also know Robert has been very busy with school, so I am thinking as soon as he has some time to think about it, he will get to it. I, however, am not an authority.

Whoa! There's a first time for everything I guess.

I've got game #69 on disc and can upload it as well as update the srchive boards. That game seems to have slipped through the cracks. The video isn't great. It is a digital copy of a vhs copy of a beta tape recorded via rabbit ears (OK...I'm old, lol)
I'm not sure how to best do that to make certain they reach the appropriate sites. A little guidance would be appreciated.

Shouldn't there be a laserdisc, or an 8 mm videotape in there somewhere?

Many/most of the games I've entered have been from disks that have been mailed to me. If this is an option, email me at myronmmeyer@yahoo.com (note the middle initial M in there.) If you have a digital copy, that's even easier. Just let me know where to find it, and, since it's summer time, I'll bump it to the top of the pile.

Welcome to the board, Ric!!!! Your tape would finish off your run in the archive.

Would Ric be the earliest airing contestant to ever grace our boards (and our previous one)? I know Burns Cameron posted some, but I'm asking about the Trebek version.

I'm pretty sure that is the case (although Sage on the Hudson has never specified exactly when in the first season he was on).

As for finishing off Ric's run, that would make him the earliest ToCer who's fully archived. I consider Paul Rouffa to be the current holder of that title, because while all Chuck Forrest's 13 games are in the Archive, his second game is missing the first 13 clues.

Ric, have you seen this ad for the 1985 ToC on YouTube? http://youtube.com/watch?v=FGzw4PHYeXg

Really cool...thanks. I'm still just as beautiful, lol.
