Calvinball (Rules Thread)
« on: June 23, 2014, 05:18:36 pm »

I'm going to run a game of Calvinball.  We're going to need the rules for the first round.  Add 1 rule in each post, then I will lock this thread at 99 replies (Making 100 rules if no one posts a reply without a rule in it.  Please don't, for ease of browsing).  Rules that contradict earlier ones (except for the first, which cannot be contradicted) must have a special condition to do so (ie. Score _ points, be in a reverse zone, etc).  Please number the rules.  After this, a thread will later be created for the actual game to be played in.  Do not reserve places in this thread.



Rule #1
You can never play the same way twice.

5. The second condition requires using a potato in the most creative manner possible, to be determined by a panel of fourteen and a half judges. The half judge being an undead dwarf.

6. The judges may be computerized, but the players will never know how many judges are real people.

11. Each turn, players may post one action or one pun. There are different types of actions, and different puns have various effects.

13. In addition to any puns stated in the rules that perform effects, the GM may, before the game, decide on various categories of puns and what they do. The GM is required to post the list of possible puns, but NOT the effects. A player may also give up the ball to add a new pun type to the list and choose the effect. That player may pm the GM the effect. That player may not regain the ball in the same turn for any reason. Giving up the ball in this way is an action.
