The + / - Game 2

The + / - Game 2

The + / - Game is a popular forum game, that doesn't really have a point, like most forum games. There will be a list of people, places, foods, or whatever. Here is the list for our + / - game:

GAME OVER!! THANKS FOR PLAYING!!
Dance Dance Revolution (15) RUNNER-UP!!
Pacman (21) WINNER!!

The colors signify category, and mean chatspeak phrases, monsters in Grand Chase, and video games.

You'll notice each participant has a number next to their name. This is their health. When a participant's health hits 0, they are killed, and eliminated from the game. So how does a participant's health drop? That's a good question.

Once a day (time will be in Pacific, which is GMT -7 during Daylight Savings Time, and GMT -8 normally), you can make a post on the thread increasing one participant's health and decreasing that of a different participant. The format of your post should ideally be something along these lines:

+Lorem
-Ipsum

As long as it's clear what you want to do, it will be fine. It is required to both - and +, and you cannot - and + the same participant. Whenever I can, I'll update the starting post with the current health standings.

THE TRIBES HAVE MERGED AND THIS RULE NO LONGER APPLIES
TRIBES:
In the first + / - Game, you could + and - anyone you liked. That's because the participants were all drawn from the same category - bosses from the Bermesiah Continent in Grand Chase. But in this game, we will have three categories, with 4 participants from each. The participants will be split up into three 'tribes', based on their category. This will play only one role in the game: you may not use both your + and - in the same tribe. You must + a participant from one tribe and - one from another. When three participants have been killed, and nine remain, the tribes will be dissolved, and you may + and - anyone you want.

There is no way to 'belong' to a certain tribe, and you can + a participant from one tribe one day and - a participant from the same tribe the next. The ONLY role the tribes play is that you may not use both your 'actions' on them. They play NO OTHER role.
THE TRIBES HAVE MERGED AND THIS RULE NO LONGER APPLIES

SPECIAL DAYS:
It's not just + and -. Every day has a special power or effect associated with it. Not every day has a power, some had them, but they are now removed.

(Chargin) Mah Lazer Monday:
On Monday, in your post, you may announce "Imma chargin mah lazer". You must then continue to put "Imma chargin mah laser" in at least one post per day from Tuesday - Sunday. if you wish to continue chargin ur lazer. On Monday, if you have charged ur lazer on all the days from last Monday on, you may unleash ur lazer, and deal 2 damage to every participant but the one you + in your post. So, if you +Lorem, and unleash ur lazer, all participants but Lorem will take 2 damage. You may then start to charge ur lazer again.

Trap Tuesday:
On Tuesday, the participant you - is trapped. If two other people - if that day, the trap is sprung, and the participant takes an additional 3 damage.

Tragedy Thursday:
Tragedy Thursday alternates between various tragedies. On the first Tragedy Thursday, giant rocks fall and deal 2 damage to every participant. On the second, each participant is given the poisoned status from the first game, which deals 1 damage at the start of each day, and can be cured with a +. On the third, each participant starts the day off trapped (like in Trap Tuesday). The cycle then starts again. So, the cycle is:
Rocks
Poison (next)
Trap

[Feeline]

THE END OF THE GAME:
When only three participants remain, the game will enter sudden death mode. As soon as one of those three participants dies, the game ends, and the participant with the most health of the remaining two will be the winner.

FAQ:
Do you have any questions? Ask them, and I'll answer them and put them in here!

How do tribes work?
Let's say the game has just started, and here are the participants:

Lorem:
Sit (10)
Amet (10)
Consectetur (10)
Adipisicing (10)

Ipsum:
Elit (10)
Sed (10)
Do (10)
Eiusmod (10)

Dolor:
Tempor (10)
Incididunt (10)
Ut (10)
Labore (10)

Imagine you wanted to +Sit and -Amet. You couldn't do that, because they're both on the same 'tribe'. You couldn't do something like +Ut, or -Labore. You could do, say, +Ut and -Amet, then +Sit and -Labore tomorrow. You can't use both your + and your - in the same 'tribe' - you must + a participant from one tribe and - one from another.

Here lie the participants who have reached 0 health and left us.

BRB (0) killed on day 7 (10th place)
idk (0) killed on day 3 (12th place)

GRAPH: Because I am a geek.
I made a Google chart depicting the rise and fall of the health of each participant. It displays the health each participant had at the start of each day. I'll get it updated a few minutes after the day summary is posted.

I had to abbreviate Dance Dance Revolution and Super Smash Brothers Melee, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read the key.

[Kebin]

I'll join, although I odn't know how to play really O-o hard to read it all

[Feeline]

Here was the most recent day summary (I post these at the start of every day):

Tomorrow is Whirlwind Wednesday!

---

xKakashi, basically, each day, you + one participant and - another. You + the one who you would like to see gain one health, and - the one you would like to see lose one health. When a participant hits 0 health, they are dead. Today is Trap Tuesday, a special day. Each day is currently special, but as more participants die, the special days will start to go away. Today, if a participant gets 3 -s, then they take an additional three damage. Tomorrow will be Whirlwind Wednesday. Then, you can - up to 3 participants, instead of just one. You can read the archive of the game back when it was on MyChase, and that might help things - though it's missing all the bbCode there.

[Kebin]

Alright I will join =D add me nao D,

[Feeline]

You don't need to be added to join - anyone can participate, whatever days they choose. All you need to do is just say who you want to +, and who you want to -. You don't need to be on a list of approved players, it's all just played here, for anyone who's registered here - and you don't have to post every day, you could just post one day, then never post again, or not post for another week or so.

[Feeline]

FOR NEW PLAYERS: BASIC RULES SUMMARY:
This a forum game. Each day, you have two basic actions: a + and a -. You may make a post like this:

+Lorem
-Ipsum

The participant in the game who you + will gain one health - health standings are shown in the main post. The participant you - will lose one health. If a participant hits 0 health, they die, and are removed from the game.

There are various special days, which you can read about here. For example, on Thursday, various tragedies effect the participants, such as giant damage-dealing rocks, poison, and traps. On Monday, you can begin charging a laser, or lazer, which you must charge for the entire week before you can shoot. But the game revolves around that simple + and -.

This is the second + / - Game I've hosted. The first one can be found here. It had participants all of one type - boss creatures from the Bermesiah Continent, in the game Grand Chase, which has its own section on these forums. That game was won by a boss called Gaikoz, and the runner-up was a boss called Paradom.

In his game, however, the participants were determined in a different way. A poll was held to determine what categories the participants would be drawn from - and the three winning categories were chatspeak phrases, monsters in the game Grand Chase, and video games. Another poll was then held to determine four participants from each category. Now not all of them are left, and one of the ones remaining will win this.

There is not a single special day that prevents you from simply using your + and -. You may completely ignore the special days if you wish, if you find them too confusing. But using them to your advantage can greatly benefit your participant of choice. Have a great time playing the game!

AS PART OF TRAGEDY THURSDAY, ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE POISONED!!
For those who did not participate in the first game, poison is a status. It can be cured simply by a +. If it is left uncured, it will deal one damage at the start of each day. So, if a participant is still poisoned tomorrow, it will take one damage. If it is still poisoned the next day, it will take another damage.
