/accept invite!

To all those that are wondering, I invited all of the Final 4 from SL's UPick, as well as several others I thought I should.

[animorpherv1]

I didn't get an invite can I still in?

if so

/in

yeah. I only invited about 6.

[animorpherv1]

I've never played anything like this but I am still going to

/in

if that's ok.

Don't worry about not playnig one of these before. This is somewhat different.

[animorpherv1]

save me a spot, I may /in later this weekend.

Done. Also, crywolf was a male for an extended period of time, and I completly didn't know, but I fixed it.

[animorpherv1]

C'mon guys!

New LaRoux video!

Anyways, I'm pondering using youtube to show who got eliminated i this game to the world.

Thoughts?

[animorpherv1]

I would still really like to play this game

C'mon guys!

New LaRoux video!

Anyways, I'm pondering using youtube to show who got eliminated i this game to the world.

Thoughts?

I can not load the video

:/ I have no idea why.

[animorpherv1]

C'mon guys!

New LaRoux video!

Anyways, I'm pondering using youtube to show who got eliminated i this game to the world.

Thoughts?

Since when was that a new video? I mean, it was only posted in September.

1st or so time I saw it.

[animorpherv1]

C'mon guys! Lots of fun to be had!

[animorpherv1]

woops, missed ya.

But I have you now.

[animorpherv1]

Are you honestly expecting to fill the 'females' bracket? I don't think there are many more that frequent the MishMash forum...

I'm going to put some males into the female bracket.

[animorpherv1]

thanks!

[animorpherv1]

Sounds fun.

/in. Preferably as a guy. My last RPG session proved, that I suck at role-playing a girl, so now I try to avoid that gender changing thing in all games if possible

Le's hope random.org agrees.

[animorpherv1]

Maybe you should invite some more players.

Done. Players can ask other players to join if they want, as well.

[animorpherv1]

If we can get one more I wil shorten the player list.

[animorpherv1]

@Cayke: I know.

Game starting, but I'll have one more guy than girl. This will be explained later how this affects stuff.

[animorpherv1]

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to The Duel! You notice that you are right next to a body of water. There are a Series of ropes.

The Goal? Last untill the end, and win the Final challenge, as well as 1 MILLION DOLLARS! Because we had more guys than girls, some guys had gender changes at random. If 1 more person wants to sign up, they wil automatically be a girl. There are no teams, but strategizing, balk talk etc. Is still encouraged. Without further ado, let's get started with our First challenge!

This challenge is called

Jumper

.

This challenge is simple. You start from the far rope, and jump over to the close rope.

How to do it:

[Contestant] jumps to rope [#]

while you jump, roll a d2. If you roll a 1, you can continue. If you roll a 2, you miss and fall into the water. You do so once evry minute, until lyou fall off or reach the last rope. There are 24 ropes. The person closest to the last rope, or the fastest person to get to the farthest rope (

seconds included!

) if their is a tie.

Example:

Stephen jumps, at 00:00:00 (Hours:minutes:seconds from first jump). She jumps to the first rope, and gets it. She can then jump again at 00:01:00. She continues, and at 00:10:25, she falls off rope #9.

Evan goes, and at 00:09:30, falls off of the same rope. Evan beat Stehpen, and may win the challenge.

The best guy, and girl win the Challenge, have Immunity, and something else I will explain after the challenge.

With random.org deciding who goes first, this is the order (strikeouts mean they can't win):

1. magellan (now a girl)

timed out

2. pickemgenius

timed out

3. Zang

Missed rope 1

4. Zodiark13

Missed rope 1

5. Panzerjager

Missed rope 1
6. crywolf20084 Rope 4, 00:04:35

7. mastermind

8. Col.Cathart

9. Drench

10. Cybele

11. Devotress

12. Starbuck

13. joe478

14. ConfidAnon

15. mb53 (now a girl)

16. Chevre[/b]

17. farside22

[animorpherv1]

Just to be clear, you must wait a minute (60 seconds) before posting your next jump. If you suceed, but wait less then 1 minute, that time will be added on to your score.

[mrow][col]Cybele[col]crywikf20084 Ropes[col]1[col]4 Time[col]00:01:00[col]00:04:35

Note: Each person has 24 hours to go or they auto-forfeit. WEEKENDS (Saturday/Sunday) count as 24 hours. If someone's turn shows up during Saturday/Sunday, they have either untill Monday that same time(for turns that start on Saturday), or 12 more hours (for turns that start on Sunday).

[animorpherv1]

Wow I just saw the thread. Prods to all that joined would be helpful.

Damn I go last.

I'm prodding people when their turn is starting.

[animorpherv1]

It's only been 3 hours.

yes, but now it's been almost a day.

He still has 35 minutes to show up.

[animorpherv1]

24 hour deadlines are hard to meet for most people.

I was thinking 24 hours, weekends (Saturday and Sunday) count as 24.

[animorpherv1]

Go to your Profile settings, down to Date Format.
Use this.
Unfortunately, you have space constraints to work with.

Just put in r (just like that) and you should be fine.

EDIT @ 4:37 PM EST: pickemgenius's turn.

[animorpherv1]

bump. PEG, I know you read it.

[animorpherv1]

yes.

[animorpherv1]

Zang misses Rope one, and it is now Zodiark13's turn.

[animorpherv1]

Cayke makes it to rope 4 with a time of 00:04:20

[animorpherv1]

Madchal45 (1:14:27 PM): also, to reiterate.. this challenge is horrible
Madchal45 (1:15:04 PM): Does he really expect someone to beable to essentially flip a coin and get heads 24 times in a row?
xCAYKEx (1:15:26 PM): pretty much
Madchal45 (1:16:22 PM): and on a computer that pretty much makes the odds exactly 50/50 instead of there being any dexterity advantage?
xCAYKEx (1:16:40 PM): this should be an endurance challenge

There are no more dice challeges after this.

[animorpherv1]

This challenge would have made so much more sense to let anyone go at any time, and give it an overall deadline of, say 72 hours. Each person would have more time, and we'd finish in less time overall. Make sure everyone knows that the challenge is actually happening, and then there's much less chance of people missing it.
As far as I can tell, there's no good reason for it to be done in a mandatory order.

This was a test to see how to would work. I know I'm not doing it again.

EDIT: I'm PM'ing people when their turn is on. If you don't get it, I'm not online. Plain and simple.

[animorpherv1]

I was just informed that Cayke was early going from rope 2 to 3. When I checked it out, she was 15 seconds early, so I'm adding it to her time.

[animorpherv1]

[mrow][col]Cybele[col]crywolf20084 Ropes[col]1[col]4 Time[col]00:00:32[col]00:04:35
lol at this actually having an hour-counter. Not fucking likely.

[animorpherv1]

I thought I made it clear myself.

EDIT: If that's the case, Cybele's time needs another 28 seconds added onto it. Silly me.

EDIT 2: Put it directly into Post 48. Also updated it with the Weekends rule.

[animorpherv1]

@Drench: hahaha yea.

@Zang: It's a weekend.

[animorpherv1]

joe's turn is over.

[animorpherv1]

and all that's left is farside.

[animorpherv1]

With that, these are our winners! Cybele, you are immune from Elimination. Since the girls are already immune, crywolf was immune before the game started.

[mrow][col]Cybele[col]crywolf20084 Ropes[col]1[col]4 Time[col]00:01:00[col]00:04:35

Alright, now for the Explaining. In this game, instead of Voting, there will be something I like to call "The List". It goes like this. The best Boy & Girl, together, choose a player to not enter the duel. This player must choose another player, but of the opposite gender (SEE OP) (normally, it would be of the other gender, but since girls are immune, crywolf is the only one to take part in it, so guys only please!) The last guy, and the last Girl picked bust choose another player (once again, of the same gender, and not any of the safe players) to Duel against. I wil lthen spin the 'Wheel of Elimination", and they play a Duel. The winner stays in the game, the loser is eliminated.


--EXAMPLE--

Players 1-8 are playing. Players 1-4 are male and 5-8 are female. 4 & 8 are Immune, and get to choose the first "Link", or player in the List.

They choose Player 2:

Current List:

• Players 4 & 7
  
• Player 2

Players 2 must then choose from either of 5,6 or 8. Then that girl must choose either 1 or 3.

So, in the end, the list MAY look like this:

• Players 4 & 7
  
• Player 2
  
• Player 8
  
• Player 3
  
• Player 6

In this example, Players 5 and 1 are in the Duel, and must choose another player of the same gender to Duel against.

More info coming in the next post!

[animorpherv1]

How to select:

Once Cayke/Cybele choose the first Link, then that person must post

[Contestant] chooses [Other Player] to form a chain.

. If you aren't selected by the list, you must post

[Contestant] wants to Duel against [Other Player]

.

Cybele, crywolf, you have 72 hours (3 days) to choose the first Link.

[animorpherv1]

I'm confused. The girls are immune and not participating in this?

Yes. Crywolf is only participating because she won the challenge. Next time, EVERY GIRL will be participating.

[animorpherv1]

i'm so fucking confused

WHAT am i doing?

You and Cybele are picking a player to possibly be safe from elimination.

Also, mb53 is right.

[animorpherv1]

Just to make sure everyone can understand, THESE PLAYERS ARE NOT UP FOR ELIMINATION:

Cybele (Won the Challenge)
Starbuck (Female)
Devotress (Female)
farside22 (Female)
Chevre (Female)
crywolf20084 (Female, Won the Chellange)
mastermind (Female)
magellan (Female)
mb53 (Female)

Also, if I PM with anyone with the Title "Confessional" I would like you to respond ASAP. I may go around with a round of those so soon. I will post some of them, and they will be 100% Anonymous.

[animorpherv1]

k. I pick PEG

You might want to consult with Cybele first

[animorpherv1]

Why pick him?

I don't think I'm counting it, because Cybele hasn't picked up the PM yet.

[animorpherv1]

ani you absolutely fail at modding

the PM sounded like cyb and I were picking opposite teams NOT working together.

Get someone to over look the rest of your challenges to make sure they have a tiny bit of sense.

It's called "Experimentation". Try it sometime.

[animorpherv1]

Please don't experiment with the english language, is the point here.
You need someone to read over your instructions to make sure they can be understood.

I will.

[animorpherv1]

Fixed a grammar error (best Boy 7 Girl, should be best Boy & Girl). Then put together in it.

[animorpherv1]

How to select:

Once Cayke/Cybele choose the first Link, then that person must post

[Contestant] chooses [Other Player] to form a chain.

. If you are the last player of your gender, and not selected by the list, you post

[Contestant] wants to Duel against [Other Player]

.

Cybele, crywolf, you have 72 hours (3 days) to choose the first Link.

[animorpherv1]

But you've still gotta have fun.

[animorpherv1]

Hello sleepy.

[animorpherv1]

Finnaly!

[Zang] chooses [Zodiark13] to form a chain

Zang, you do not get to choose. Zodiark13 is forced to enter the Duel, and must choose another person to enter with him.

[animorpherv1]

Oh, ok.

I didn't know I was last.

The first post is always updated whenever I get the chance.

[animorpherv1]

BUMP

Zodiark HAS read the PM. 24 hours or I'm picking for you.

[animorpherv1]

Ok, I PM'ed Zang to make sure he knew.

Time to spin the Duel wheel!

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[animorpherv1]

Alright, the Duel is

Pushed!

The Goal is to Score 5 Points on your opponent. You do that by shoving him off of his podium.

To push, say

[Contestant] pushes [Other Contestant]

. The other contestant has 2 minutes to post

[Contestant] holds on

or he falls off and gives the other player a point.

The game starts at

8:00 PM EST, Today

[animorpherv1]

So um. How do duels work. Is it just a roll of the dice (or 'wheel' in this case)?

No. I roll the "wheeel" to determine which Duel shows up.

[animorpherv1]

Incoming confessionals!

I would like you to respond to this ASAP. This is Anonynous, so if you don't want to mention names, go ahead.

Question; Did you think you were going to be safe?

Of course... anybody who woulda kept me unsafe in anyway woulda been crushed.

Question: Do you think you deserved to enter the Duel today?

No, I was one of the most active players. I don't think I could be eliminates because of this, and also because this was a random challenge you can't tell if I'm a strong player or weak player. I see no reason for me to have to duel.

[animorpherv1]

Oh yeah, Duel begins now.

[animorpherv1]

1 Zang - 0 Zodiark

[animorpherv1]

2 Zang - 0 Zodiark

[animorpherv1]

3 Zang - 0 Zodiark

[animorpherv1]

4 Zang - 0 Zodiark

[animorpherv1]

I think I may need to make more pushes needed next time.

Zang wins.

[animorpherv1]

Next Challenge is at May 20th, whenever I get home from School and can acess the computer.

[animorpherv1]

lol@'anonymous' confessionals.
Also, a challenge that you can lose simply by not being on within 10 minutes of the start time is ridiculous. Kind of like a completely dice-dependent challenge.

That's why I'm going to either not do it again or make it more.

Next challenge is coming up ina minute!

[animorpherv1]

No, I'm not skipping. My school got out early. You notice you are on a field,with lots of things that look similar to balance boards, only rounder and scattered around.

Welcome to All Shook up!

Alright, the goal in All Shook up is to stay on your balance board the longest. What makes this so hard is the fact that there are electric motors inside the, so it is harder to stay on.

How To play!

To play, you post

[Contestant] keeps balance

. Your first one is 10 minutes after, then your second is 9 minutes and 30 seconds after then the next one 9 minutes, etc. untill you reach 30 seconds. If you miss balancing for 1 minute (this means you can't be early, but you may be up to 1 minute late), you fall off.

If you need a way to keep track of seconds, I reccomend you use r in the Date Format setting in your Profile

If you make it to the 30 second deadline, then you have 10 more 30s deadlines to finish, and you beat the eletric balance boards!

[mrow][col]Best Boy[col]Best Girl Balances[col]--[col]-- Time[col]0:00:00[col]0:00:00

DONE:

Chevre
Zang
farside22
mb53
Cybele
joe478
Panzerjager
Drench
Devotress
pickemgenius

[animorpherv1]

Go to your Profile settings, down to Date Format.
Use this.
Unfortunately, you have space constraints to work with.

I find a lowercase r works well.

[animorpherv1]

Okay, so even though the constraints are divided by the second (ie 9m 30s), you only have to be within 1 minute of that time? Could you be 59s early? 59s late?

59s late

[animorpherv1]

Player X posts at 0:00.00. Next post time 0:10.00.
Player X posts at 0:10.28. Next post time 0:19.30? Or 0:19.58?

0:19:58

[animorpherv1]

Ok, cool. What happens after the 30s deadline is reached? Another 30s deadline, repeat ad infinitum? Or does it just end?

Another 30 s deadline. I think I'l lcall it after 10 30s deadlines, though.

[animorpherv1]

Ok, I currently have Zang at 8 minutes and Chevre at 9 and a half.

[animorpherv1]

Ok, I currently have Zang at 8 minutes and Chevre at 9 and a half.

aren't I at 6 and a half now?

7 and a half.

@Cybele: Thanks. I'm going to add 14 seconds to Zang's time.

[animorpherv1]

[mrow][col]Best Boy[col]Chevre Balances[col]--[col]1 Time[col]0:00:00[col]0:10:08

Chevre is at 10:00:08 for being 8 seconds early.

[animorpherv1]

So, what? Being early doesn't disqualify you? I'm really confused.
What happens if you're early to the post deadline? What happens if you're more than 1 minute late?

Being early (as long as it isn`t massiveley early, like trying to do 2 at the same time) will just make me add the time on (if you are trying to do 2 at the same time, you would be Eliminated),. If your more than 1 minute late (like Chevre) you get Eliminated.

Examples:

Players A is 5 seconds early - He gets 5 seconds added on

Player B is positng one, then immeditaley positng the other. He is eliminated.

[animorpherv1]

What if he's 1 minute early? Or 5 minutes, even without doing two at once? Where's the cut-off point?

I`m trying to find sentences that make sense. Please forgive me.

If he`s 1 minute early, then he would likley be eliminated. 5 minutes, without a doubt, he would be Eliminated.

Think of it like this:

If you post exactly 1 minute early, you may be Eliminated. If you post exactly 1 minute late, then that extra time gets added onto your overall time.

[animorpherv1]

Okay, well for Zang's 4th post, he was 59s early. I don't have time right now to go through all his posts, but I will.
(his 3rd post was fine, a few seconds late, is all).

Thanks. Updating.

[animorpherv1]

[mrow][col]Zang[col]Chevre Balances[col]3[col]1 Time[col]0:0:28:04[col]0:10:08

I added 1 minute to Zang`s time for being really early.

[animorpherv1]

So am I out?

Yeah. You were too early on one.

[animorpherv1]

Just to clarify.
You post that your first balance. Then the next one is 10 minutes after the first one.
After that you deduct 30 seconds there after to balance so the next one is 9:30 (minute:seconds) then 9 minutes even and so forth?

Yes.

@mastermind:

It goes Balances first, then time second. If 2 people tie for balances, then whoever had the shortest time wins.

[animorpherv1]

Ok, I think I figuteed out a system to keep track of this.

[animorpherv1]

that's 9 seconds early.

[animorpherv1]

your still in because it wasn't really early, but I'm adidng the the time onto what it should be.

[animorpherv1]

Do I go off the last time I balanced?
I just did for that one with being 7 seconds early.

Your still on.

[animorpherv1]

Yes. It would be exactly X time, where X is 30 seconds less then the last time.

[animorpherv1]

[mrow][col]Zang[col]farside22 Balances[col]3[col]4 Time[col]0:0:28:04[col]0:0:35:40

[animorpherv1]

no change.

[animorpherv1]

mb53, that should've been 8 1/2 minutes, and I already cut you off. You lose 30 seconds each time you post it.

[animorpherv1]

[mb53] keeps balance

[mb53] Keeps balance

[mb53] keeps balance

Your right, but your time was longer than Zang's. And I count Balances as the last time you actually stayed on.

[animorpherv1]

Yeah, I screwed up the math.

[animorpherv1]

I think that's right. Cybele and farside are stil lin the lead.

[animorpherv1]

The Next Challenge is All Shook up! You have untill Tuesday Morning (May 25th), at 3:00 AM EST to do it.

It's not that I think someone will be UP at 3 AM EST, but I was trying to give a little bit more time.

[animorpherv1]

Our winners are:

[mrow][col]Cybele[col]farside22 Balances[col]7[col]4 Time[col]0:53:04[col]0:28:30

farside, Cybele, you have 3 days to choose (once again, since cayke quit) a MALE participant to start the list.

[animorpherv1]

I'm not that worried. Cayke just probably convinced him to quit.

Anyways, since Panzer quit, I'm going to start the next challenge on Saturday at 4:00 PM EST.

[animorpherv1]

Sorry for being late. Your are at a dirt track. You see a lot or furniture around

This next Challenge is called

Repo Race!

Your goal is to run 10 laps around the track with a piece of furntiure on your back.

To start, post

[Contestant] grabs furniture.

After

1 minute

, post

[Contestant] holds on.

After

2 minutes

from the last post, post

[Contestant] runs lap [#]

Continue holding and running untill 10 laps ahev been completed.

[mrow][col]joe478[col]Best Girl Laps[col]10[col]-- Time[col]00:30:04[col]00:00:00


The Challenge ends at 6:00 PM EST on Wednesday, June 2nd!

[animorpherv1]

wait, no one was eliminated?

Panzerjager quit.

[animorpherv1]

Wait, so are all the challenges going to be like this?

I don't see what's wrong with them. They are standard posting challenges.

[animorpherv1]

NOTE: I`m going to Eliminate magellan, and find out if I can do something with mb53`s spot.

[animorpherv1]

Someone please tell me the difference between my posting challenges, and SL's.

[animorpherv1]

oh. Maybe next time, I should get someone else to help me with these?

[animorpherv1]

Someone please tell me the difference between my posting challenges, and SL's.

Well. SL had many other types of challenges, not just these posting ones. I didn't care for SL's posting challenges either. The final immunity challenge over in Survivor, I only won through sheer luck that the forums didn't lag for me at that time, really it was a 1 in 100 chance that that challenge was going to be playable and I fluked out. If you go look back at that survivor thread though, we mostly had a pretty negative reaction to that very first challenge which was also a posting challenge.
When SL did do a posting challenges, it usually also had some other element. Coordination with a teammate, or whatever. As opposed to 1 player posting "hey i'm still here" every 1 minute.
When the time window is that tight I truely believe every challenge is a diceroll, atleast for me, the mafiascum forums just hang up on me alot.

Yeah, I get it. It's just that this game (based of a real reality show) doesn't really have partners, so I needed to think of individual challenges.
