CI Halloween Carnival: Hope vs Despair the Game

Post by retrolinkx »

Spoiler:
Sorry for the delay and the fact I'm doing this instead of Fox, but this game (which might last more than 3 days) will be called Hope vs Despair.

Post if you want to play in this thread, and give 2CP to Fox. I'll probably give two day notice since we need an even number of people to join, if not a handicap will have to be imposed on the team with the least amount of players I guess.

Rules are simple.

1) When there is an even number of people who join after two days, they will be randomly sorted into two groups Hope and Despair
2) I will then post a number (depending on how many people join so that it's fair) that's inbetween if you add and minus the number itself. (So, 0-25-50)
3) The Hope team has to get the numbers to 50, whereas the Despair team has to get it to 0.
4) The winning team will get the pot of the combined teams entries divided between them equally, whereas the losing team shall get nothing.
5) Everyone who joins gets four posts a page (although I might change this to reflect the amount of people who joined, and unfair teams) and they can't double post.
6) When either side gets to their designated number the game will end and the winning team shall get the pot.
7) If for some reason the pot is uneven, it will be decreased to be even again so everyone who is part of the winning team gets the right amount.
8) To make sure no pages are wasted in this game from the signups. I will constantly post until we get to the next page and that is where the starting point shall be.

Now I know that in reality, joining this long game will just mean that the winning team will lose 2 CP and the winning team will gain 2CP, so it's not too good in terms of time investment, so I'm going to impose extra point scoring rules that will affect the pot.
  • If there are four posters that increase or decrease the number one after the other. 2CP is added to the pot.
  • If the number is brought back to it's original point after it has been increased or decreased 10 times. 3CP is added to the pot. (So, if the starting number was 25, and the Despair team got it to 14 but the Hope team got it to 25 again, 3CP is added to the pot)
  • If a new page is created on the same day as the first post on the previous page. 1CP is added to the pot.
  • If the number is brought back from the brink of despair or the edge of hope. 5CP is added to the pot. (So if the starting number was 25. If it was at 1, 2 or 3, and the Hope team brought it back up to 10. Or if it's at 47, 48 or 49 and the Despair team brought it back to 40)
  • If the number does not decrease or increase by 5 by the end of a page. 2CP is added to the pot (So, if the starting number was 25 and after one page the number gets back to 23. 2CP will be added.
  • If the number gets to it's designated number on the final post of a page. 8CP is added to the pot.
Please make sure not to abuse these rules. I understand that this rules force a stalemate mentality, but I was really just thinking of interesting ways of scoring more CP through things that could happen. If I see people deliberately trying to force the game into a stalemate to get as much CP as possible, I will remove the extra point scoring from being part of the game and reset the CP back to it's original number.

Game starts in 2 days, so sign up now.
Spoiler:
Well, since no one cares. Here are the teams, the starting number and the handicap.

Team Hope

Chaos the Light Chao

Team Despair

Pumpkinium

The rules will be changed shortly to reflect upon the team numbers.

Since Despair has a disadvantage, the number will start at 17 (Mostly to reflect how 25/3 = 8.33, thus 25-8=17) This would simulate a third member of the team in an average scenario, incidentally the Despair team can post 6 times a page, instead of 4. However, double posting is still in effect.

Also, I'm moving the game to a new thread, just to save me some time.

I normally visit twice a day, but that still puts us at a bit of a disadvantage.

If after three days the number doesn't get to 0/50, I'll remove the limit on posting per page, and change the double posting rule to triple posting.

If after four days this number doesn't get to 0/50, I'll increase the increase/decrease number by 3.

If after five days this number doesn't get to 0/50. Whoever is in the upper/lower bracket shall be declared the winner, sorry about this but it's all I can do with such limited numbers. Depending on how things go, the limit might be 16/18 or 24/26.
