Game Ideas

In CAHniverse, we're always looking to try and find more ways to keep things fresh. We have lots of bottle games and more of those are always welcome, so if you know of a game and want to share the concept, edit this page and jot that shit down. Maybe more people will help get your idea off the ground and make it work. Let's find creative ways to use the tools we have at our disposal.

Charades
I always wanted to try the charades outlined on the room games f-list profile. Here they are, reproduced:


 * Spin the Bottle, and PM that person with a word.
 * That person then tries to act it out in RP.
 * First one of the other players to say what it is wins, and gets to give the next spin and word.
 * You cannot use the word in your RP posts whatsoever.
 * You must act out everything, and use no verbal responses in your posts.
 * You may post at any size or speed, and guesses can simply be guessed words.

Any takers? ~Netkeeper

Match Game
Dude, the new Match Game is fucking amazing and the banter that goes on reminds me too much of CAH and our wildly inappropriate blank cards, so I've been trying to find a way to adapt it into something for roleplay. My idea was using the Pretend You're Xyzzy site without any standard decks, just a custom deck full of black cards and an absurdly high number of blank white cards. Play would go as follows:


 * The Card Czar does not play this round... not sure what to do with that role, it's the one snag I've come across but may find ways to use it later. It would be nice if the Czar could be the one whose turn it is, but they can't play white cards so that fucks it all up.
 * Everyone has a hand of blank cards. The person whose turn it is has to play last, after everyone else has played their white cards.
 * The person whose turn it is has to label their card so we know when matches are found, but nobody else has to label their plays, although they're free to do so anyway.
 * Ignore the PYX scorecount. The real scorecounts are based on how many matches are made.

I'll probably do a test run of this idea soon and provide screenshots for clarity as to how it might work. Or this site won't work for it at all, I don't know. ~Netkeeper
