The game is simple: 12 balls of different color are in play. Each player may steal from or give balls to another player. (See below for rules on actions). The catch is that each ball has a special property that may award, or remove, points, from your total. At the end of the game, we reveal the balls properties and allocate points based on what you're holding. Player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Each player will be sent a PM with the correct identity of three random balls. The clue-giving is random, though evenly distributed. So each ball is known by 2 players. There is no restriction on what information players can offer other players about theses PMs, as long as no screenshots or direct quotes of the PMs are given. No outside communication is allowed for this game.

The Balls:

Black Ball
Blue Ball
Brown Ball
Green Ball
Grey Ball
Magenta Ball
Orange Ball
Pink Ball
Purple Ball
Red Ball
Teal Ball
Yellow Ball

Performing Actions
  • Players may make an "Action" once every 2 hours. If your post is at 10:36, your next (official) one must be at 12:36
  • You may only take 8 Actions total per 24 hour period. Your 24-hr period starts with your first action
  • A "Steal" is taking a Ball from another player
  • A "Give" is giving a Ball you're holding to another player.
  • With each "Action" you can make up to 3 moves but only a maximum of 2 "Steals" or 2 "Gives"
  • You must make all your moves for your Action in the same post


Acceptable Actions:

Quote:
Steal Yellow from XXX
Steal Orange from YYY
Give Blue to ZZZ
Quote:
Give Red to XXX
Give Grey to YYY
Illegal Actions:

Quote:
Take Red from XXX
Take Blue from YYY
Take Black from ZZZ
Rules

-I start with all balls, so all untouched balls must be stolen from me
-NO Editing posts with one exception (see below)
-If two people steal a ball with the same timestamp, the first person to post officially gets it, and the second person may edit their post to reflect this.
-If anyone makes a post that is illegal (i.e. attempting to steal a ball from someone who doesn't have it, or giving a ball you don't have) the action is void. You may correct it in a subsequent post if you catch your mistake.
-I will update as much as possible with a table of who controls which ball(s), but please try to figure out who has what if I haven't updated in a while.
-There is no limit to how many balls you can be holding at once
-The game begins at 8pm ET and ends at 12pm ET on Sat May 7. There are no day/night phases, so the game is always ongoing, as long as you abide by the Action Rules.

Clarification:

A Ball cannot be involved in two separate transactions during the same Action. For example:

Quote:
Take XXX from YYY
Give XXX to ZZZ
and

Quote:
Give XXX to YYY
Take XXX from YYY
would be Illegal

First official actions can take place at :00

Remember: no post restrictions, but official Actions can only take place once per 2 hrs, and only 8 times over a 24-hr period starting from your first Action

I'll post this table as often as I can, but please try to follow along and self-moderate in my absence. GL

Setting up the table in MS Excel is a pain, but after you do the initial setup it's very easy to just click, drag for updates and then a copy and paste into 2P2.

I have been given the purple ball by bolt, so **** you bolt and may your rabbit catch fleas

CLAIMAMENTS: THE PURPLE BALL AWARDS 100 POINTS EQUALLY SPREAD OVER ALL PLAYERS THAT HAVEN'T HAD IT IN THEIR POSSESSION DURING THE GAME

So we must make sure that everybody gets it, now that I've had in my possession

give purple to nich
steal green from irtm
steal pink from eebooger

stuck: would it be possible to arrange another time for end of game, where all can be online?

There are some balls that people want or not want at EOG so EOG will be frantic and if I'm asleep I might as well resign or request a sub
