Let's get the person we like the least to win if we get a record sub list :awe

Copy Panda · Oct 5, 2021

who's that currently? :awe

Farfalla · Oct 5, 2021

Maybe we need a poll

GrySun · Oct 5, 2021

So @Copy Panda how many have signed up so far, and has the first round actually already started, how much time to PM etc.

Maybe we should tell a mod to sticky relevant posts here and in the other thread.

Minority Game

The Question

1) Anybody who wants to play leaves a message in this thread announcing their desire to participate. Players added to the Player List are the only eligible candidates. Once enough players have signed up, the game will start.

2) The Hosts poses a two-option question (which are the only valid answer options). After all of the answers have been tallied, the group that gave the minority of answers will move on to the next round. You don't have to answer truthfully. In cases of draws, a new question will be posted by the host.

3) All players answer in a PM with the header 'Minority (Game)'. Players have ~24 hours to answer. Answers cannot be changed after the fact. Players cannot discuss their answers with other players.

4) This process continues until there is one player left who is in the minority, who wins the game. The winner(s) of this game may provide all the losers with custom avatars and signature sets they are to wear for a week.

5) Violating any of these rules [or previous rules produced by previous hosts the current host wishes to enforce] results in an instant loss.

6) Personal Rule: The winner may opt-out from creating avatars, in which case the host will provide the sets instead.

Plus the question in the other thread linked in that post.

I always thought it's messy to have 2 threads for this game, it's not like posting "sent it" is rly relevant. And even if we'd keep it, there isn't a sign up and game play phases overlap so a single thread for both things should be fine imo.

Agreed, especially since posting "answered" isn't really a rule nor a thing anymore much.

I'm surprised the contract making is :lmao

Agreed as well! The two threads only make it a bit confusing as to where you talk about what.
Probably easier to just use one

(maybe we should do a poll haha)
