Kitty, Dona and all
Kitty brings up a good point. Now that this has expanded into a sub forum section…. Maybe se can setup some guidelines on how to do this over the web.
Here are some random thoughts that “might” work. Other encouraged to expand, comment, add, subtract, etc.
1. A Game host keeps creates the game and keeps track of it thru it’s life cycle until the game is over. Anyone can be the game host. The host will create the 1st post and present the game and any rules if any on how to do it.
Once posted, Let the games begin…..
2. Once someone finds something, like in this search and seek kind of game, players post what they find. The game host then comes along and states which ones are correct, and how many are still left to find. The host may award Sun Points for each correct answer. If they choose to, they can even get carried away and award Snow points for wrong answers that subtract from Sun points. I know I’m in severe camping withdrawal right about now….
3. When all things are found, then the game host declares the game is over and 1st place, 2nd 3rd etc or how ever goofy thing they want to do.
To maybe help even this out for playing time, on each post a player can only identify up to X items at one time. If there are 50 items then maybe up to 5 at a time etc. The host declares the rules when it is posted. The player then cannot post more until more X things are correctly found or until the host acknowledges them and some time length of inactivity or wrong answers or other something else has gone by. The length between posts thing is something that will have to sort it self out. It can even be as whacky as only 1 post from a member of one state or even a county within a state or country for that matter…(Ah,) can post until another state or county member posts. And this does not mean folks in the back ground cannot PM each other giving them answers to post to break it loose again. Since it is the hosts game, they can make yup their one rules.
I will do up one of these search and seek campsite things, but I have to experiment a little first.
Or we have no rules and it is a free for all….
