Dixit: Imgur Edition
Current Deadline: (expired on 2014-09-10 15:30:00)
Based on the board game Dixit
Gameplay:
Each player starts the game with a hand of six random images pulled from Imgur. Players then take turns being the Storyteller. The player whose turn it is to be Storyteller chooses one of the images in their hand and PMs it to the mod, along with a sentence or phrase that might describe it. Each other player then selects from among their own six images the one that best matches the sentence given by the Storyteller and PMs it to the mod. The mod will then randomize all images and post them. The players (except for the Storyteller) then secretly guess which picture was the storyteller's, PMing their choice to the mod.
Deadlines:
The Storyteller has 48 hours to select an image and submit their description. Once posted, players will have 48 hours to submit their own images. After all submissions have been posted by the mod, players will have 48 hours to submit a choice. Storytellers who miss their deadline will be prodded and given a 24 hour extension, after which the role of Storyteller will pass to the next player. Players who miss the image submission deadline will be prodded and given a 24 hour extension, after which they will be skipped and the round will continue. Players who miss the image guessing deadline will score 0 points for that round (unless their own image gets voted for).
This game will operate on a 3-strike method. Each missed deadline will be considered a strike against that player, after which a replacement will be sought for their slot. Players may replace back into their slot only if the mod and the player currently holding the slot agree to let them back in the game.
Scoring:
If nobody or everybody finds the correct picture, the storyteller scores 0, and each of the other players scores 2. Otherwise the storyteller and all players who found the correct answer score 3. Players other than the storyteller score 1 point for each vote their own pictures receive.
The game ends after 18 rounds.
The player with the highest score wins!Tips:
A large part of the skill of the game comes from being able, when acting as the storyteller, to offer a title which is neither too obscure (such that no other player can identify it) nor too obvious (such that every player is able to guess it).
