Welcome to The List, a game where challenge skills and social game combine in a truly unique way to determine a winner.
General Rules:
01)
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.02)
This is a game. The secondary objective is to win.03)
My modding is not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out and I will try and correct it before anyone else notices, before acting like it never happened.04)
Private communication with any players in the game is allowed and encouraged.05)
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask.Game Mechanics (aka the important stuff):
06)
Each round will occur in three phases: making of lists, a challenge, and then the reveals. In the List phase, players will rank all other players in order of how much they would like to save them in the reveals from most to least. The Challenge phase is exactly what it sounds like, all players complete a standard challenge.07)
Following these two parts are the Reveals phase. First, I will go through and reveal the challenge results in order. The player who comes in last place will immediately be eliminated. Then, players will be saved based on their lists. The top N/2 - 1 players will automatically be safe, and from best to worst they will save the highest-ranked player on their list that is not yet safe. After all those players have chosen someone, one player will be left - that person is eliminated. (So two players will be eliminated per round.)08)
Generally 24 hours will be given for each List phase and 24 hours will be given for each Challenge phase (in general). Many early-game deadlines will be extended to 48 hours, along with some later-game ones for my own scheduling purposes.09)
If you fail to submit a list, your list will be randomized. If you fail to submit for a challenge, you will automatically be eliminated. (If multiple players miss a Challenge phase, the eliminated player will be chosen randomly.) If you need a short extension for a phase, please reach out and I will probably grant it.10)
Once only two players remain, the players that placed from 3rd to 11th place will have 48 hours to question the final two and vote for the winner of the game. The player with the most votes will be the winner.11)
A living player may not communicate with an eliminated player about the game.The game is designed for 16 players, but it can be played with any number of players (as long as we have at least 12 players). If we have an odd number of players, the first round will only have a single elimination determined by lists, skipping the elimination of the last place finisher. If more are interested, they will be accommodated though I make no guarantees about the quality of challenges until 16 players remain.
If you're interested in playing, please /in via PM! The game will begin on Wednesday at 9pm EDT, in (expired on 2021-04-21 21:00:00).
