Misfire - A forum game of confusing proportions

[Dylflon]

So I just thought of an idea for a thoroughly ridiculous forum game that won't require much time from anybody

It's kind of an experiment but we'll see how it works out.

Essentially every round, everybody votes in this thread for someone to take out. You can retract and remake votes as much as you want. But the rules for elimination are different.

The person with the most votes will not be eliminated. Only the players with the second and third amount of votes will be eliminated.

It's a strategic voting game. Every round, someone will be selected by random number generator to get a guardian power to protect one player aside from themselves to be voted out.

In the event of a tie, all people tied for second or third will be eliminated.

Ex.

Player 1 - 9 votes
Player 2 - 7 votes
Player 3 - 7 votes
Player 4 - 6 votes


I take each vote total as a place so technically 1st is 9, 2nd is 7 and 3rd is 6.

Therefore, Players 2, 3, and 4 would all be eliminated. If there was a player 5 with 6 votes, he too would be eliminated.

If multiple people are tied for 1st, they all survive.


SIGN UP AND DESTROY EACHOTHER!!!

Sign me up.

That is a possible strategy but you only get one vote so...


This will be fun because even I can play this. The role of the guardian will be revealed at the beginning of each round to everyone.

[Dyne]

Still room for me?

[Teuthida]

I enjoy voting for things so I shall partake.

[The Germanator]

Seems easy enough. Sign me up.

[Dylflon]

[Bond]

Okay.

[Fyacin]

[jeepnut]

This sentence is unnecessarily long since its one and only true purpose is to express my sincere and genuine desire to play this forum game with the many other awesome members of the forum named GameTavern that have previously expressed their wish to enjoy a sporting game with their fellow e-friends.

[Combine 017]

Im in.

[Schadenfreude]

I'm in too.

[Angrist]

I'm out.

Which means I wouldn't have had to post.

[Dylflon]

Game needs more people.

[Professor S]

[BreakABone]

So yeah, I liked so totally signed up for this game and it still hasn't begun....

[Typhoid]

Aw man, hey guys, remember how we all haven't started playing that game yet!

[Bond]

Looks like this game misfired.

[GameMaster]

Looks like this game misfired.

Hook, line, and sinker.

[Dylflon]

Sorry, school work and such. Will begin soon, promise etc etc.

[ZebraRampage]

[Dylflon]

The game will start on Monday. Be prepared.

[BreakABone]

The game will start on Monday. Be prepared.

I shall wait till Monday... I heard it was going to start weeks ago...

[Typhoid]

I shall wait till Monday... I heard it was going to start weeks ago...

Who says time travel doesn't exist.

[The Germanator]

As long as this game only lasts from Monday-Thursday I might be alright. My internet time will be significantly cut down after that during tour.

[jeepnut]

!vote Dylflon

[Fox 6]

haha :p

[Dylflon]

I shouldn't be allowed to make promises anymore.

[Bond]

I think Misfire needs a stimulus package.

[Swan]

Thou art fail

[BreakABone]

Wow, this game sure seemed simple, but we can't even get it off the ground.

What's the hold up?

[Typhoid]

Maybe the "misfire" part of the game is us just waiting in anticipation while he does nothing.

[Dylflon]

Hahaha. That's the best reasoning ever. So good I wish it were true.


The main issue is every time I think of starting it, I have one or two days on the horizon where I know I wouldn't be able to pay any attention to it because of my intense workload for school.

I'm working on a presentation right now but once that's put of the way, all my work I'll have to do for the rest of the semester will pretty much be on the computer so hopefully I can get this going soon.

Why not just jump over those days like you do in Mafia?
I mean it doesn't need to be updated every day?

[Bond]

This forum will self-destruct if Misfire is not started within one week.

[GameMaster]

I'll start pouring kerosine all over it.

[Fyacin]

I can set up plastiques goldeneye style.

[jeepnut]

I can snip the green wire with 0:01 left on the timer.

...Or was that the red wire?

[BreakABone]

*Chains himself to the forum*

If you are gonna destroy it, need to take me with it!

[Dylflon]

I'll wait till the last possible day.

Or I'll start it tonight if I happen to remember.

[Bond]

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

[BreakABone]

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I'm co-charge now so I think it will start if I have to kill Dylflon and start it myself.

[Dylflon]

Finishing an essay right now.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHGHGHGHHGHGHHGHHGHGHGHGHHGH!

[Angrist]

Essay schmessay.


That's something Americans would say, right?

[GameMaster]

Essay schmessay.

Yep. Remember though, that little fella you're talking to is one of them Canadians.

[Angrist]

Canada is North America too. :D
