Welcome! I'm your host, Host. And this is a game.
So we got Mafias and RPGs and what not, but I figured more variety in our gamepool would be nice. So I got this game for you. Its nice and easy, doesn't take much effort to play, but hopefully can be great fun.
THE GAME
At the beginning of each round, every player will be PM'd a question with many different potential answers. Each player will then PM me with their answer. After all answers have been given, I'll post who answered what.The point of the game is to try to guess who else amongst the other players has been asked the same question as you based on the answers. And that's basically the gist of the game.
THE QUESTIONS:
The players will not be told how many questions are being asked in a round, nor does any question have a set amount of players it can be asked to, only that the question must be asked to at least 2 people. For example, if there were 10 people, and 3 questions in the round, I COULD ask 6 players Question 1, and give Question 2 and 3 to 2 players each. In the interest of transparency, I will say that I decide how many players will get each question, but who gets each question is decided by RNG.
SCORING:
At the beginning of each round, every player is given 10 points and tries to avoid losing those points during the round. You lose points either by:
-Guessing a player has the same question as you when he/she does not (1 point each)
OR
-Not guessing a player has the same question as you when he/she does (1 point each)
For example, if PLAYER A was asked the same question as PLAYER B and PLAYER ASSHOLE, and PLAYER A'S Guess is "PLAYER DIGIMON, PLAYER B", the PLAYER A would lose 2 points. 1 point for an incorrect guess (DIGIMON), 1 point for leaving a player off (ASSHOLE). PLAYER A ends the round with 8 points.
HOW MANY ROUNDS
Iunno, 10? Yeah lets do 10
THE ANSWERS
You are allowed to research to your heart's content for both your own answers and other players, however your answer must be a reasonably connected answer to the question. The basic rules I'm going to lay down is "If your answer is, or requires, Uncommon Knowledge, it is not valid" and "If your answer, while correct, has no decipherable connection to the question, it is not valid". For example, if the question is "Name something that is blue", answers like "a house" or "[some super rare insect]" would not be valid answers, because a house can be any color, and nobody else even knows what that insect is Schazer. NOTE: You CAN have a valid answer that is technically incorrect. If you had answered that previous question with "The Ocean", that's a valid answer even though the Ocean isn't technically blue, because we all associate the ocean with being blue.
