A quick reiteration of the rules and how the game is playedThere is a list of companies that will be used throughout the game. At the start of each round, the player would be the last to select for that round will secretly select a company from the list. That choice will be kept hidden from the remaining players and sent to me via pm. That selected word will then be the bomb word for that round.
After the bomb word is chosen, the remaining players must all choose an option from the list. Every time an option is chosen, it is removed from the list for that round. No two players can select the same word in the same round. If a player does not choose the bomb word from the list when they make their selection then they are safe for that round and move on to the next. If a player selects the bomb word, they are eliminated from the game and the bomb word is removed from the list for the rest of the game.
If none of the remaining players choose the bomb word then the player who selected it to start the round is forced to choose their own bomb word selection and is eliminated. The game is played until there is only one player still left standing and that player is declared the winner.
Order of players chosenFor this game, I sort of alluded to it in the opening story post but I used the
Fast Food thread I created many years ago as the basis for creating the order selection. I took a look at the number of posts each player who signed up made in that thread. I then put everyone in the order from least amount of posts to the most amount of posts. Both Steefosaurus and TOPHATANT123 had 0 posts in that thread. Therefore, I then looked at the date each registered and put TOPHATANT123 at the top since he had registered before Steefosaurus and therefore has had more of an opportunity to post in that thread and yet has not done so.
Better start posting in more of my threads people! You may one day by glad you did like ShyGuy.
Message reminders Once I get ShyGuy's choice for the Round 1 bomb word, I will send a pm to all players alerting them to the fact the game has begun even though some of you may have seen this thread up already. I will most likely send out a pm when it is a players turn to choose for their first choice just to help everyone get back in the rhythm of checking in for Safe Words. After that, it is
up to the players to remember to check in on their own
unless they notify me to send them a reminder when it is their turn to choose.
Waiting for a selectionA generous time of 2 days (48 hours) is given for a player to select a phrase. If they've requested for me to send them a reminder when it is their turn, a message will be sent to alert them of that fact 24 hours before their time to choose is up. If a choice has not been made by the end of the total 48 period, the player will be automatically given the bomb word choice and removed from the game. The 48 hours begins from the timestamp of the post I make in this thread asking for their selection in the round.
Game on.
