 Maybe it's not 2017, but the time has come again. (the first two games didn't kill anybody, and there's no reason to stop now.) We still know the complaints and questions you've got before you even ask them. "it's a stupid game that is decided as soon as it starts!" "your threads are bad and boring" "plumpy sux" "waaaaaaaaah why are you using up space on the servers that I could be filling with my e/n threads about FYAD meme warhammer 40k self-insertion fanfiction?" Because (all together now) gently caress IT (and you) Hold onto your rear end (or your buddy's) and get ready to shitpost your way to glory, goons, because here it comes again  wherein we are once more guaranteed that some incredibly dumb poo poo happens. Rules v. 2.0 1. The players consist of twenty goons, divided into five teams of four. 1a. In order to facilitate signups, please indicate your team of first choice with your signup post. If that team is full by the time your name is reached, you will be shuffled at random into one of the other teams. 2. A standard Candy Land board is used. In this case, the 1984 edition. It is sitting on my dining room table. Photos of the board and card draws will be posted to the thread to keep everyone in the loop as the game proceeds. 2a. We will be using a modified deck of cards, consisting of a bit over half of the available color cards (in even amounts) and all the character cards. (This is what happens when you buy your copy of the game on ebay.) 2b. Exact totals are 6x single [red/yellow/blue/purple/green/orange], 1x double [red/yellow/blue/purple/green/orange], and the six character cards [Plumpy/Mr. Mint/Jolly/Gramma Nutt/Princess Lolly/Queen Frostine]. 2c. Cards will be shuffled before each turn. 3. There are two goals: 3a. One, to be the overall champion, to be better than the other 19 chumps who didn't make it to King Kandy's Kastle before you. 3b. Additionally, the best team will be determined by seeing which of the five teams can bring all four of its members to the Kastle first. 4. Because suffering builds character, we will (mostly) be playing by the standard House Rules involving the end of the game. 4a. Thus, one must land exactly on the final purple square to have reached the castle, and card draws that would move a player beyond that space count as skipped turns. 4b. However, management reserves the right to ignore this rule (and any other) once the individual champion is determined. We'll see if it's still fun by that point. 5. On a given turn, each player will be dealt a card and moved "simultaneously," that is, where each player ends their turn is considered to have been reached at the same point. 5a. This obviously leads to the concept of a tie. Two players can occupy the same space on the board without issue. However, there can be no ties at the end of the path. The champion must reach the castle alone. 5b. If two or more players reach the final square during the same turn, they will be sent back to Gramma Nutt at the Peanut Brittle House to try again. You can also feel bad about it. It could have been worse. I originally considered that they'd just loop around and have to start over. 6. Barring emergencies or the inability to give a drat, there will be 1-2 moves per day. Probably. 7. Each team will be granted certain bonuses to allow them to reach the top of the board more quickly. 7a. The first of these is the Joker, because I've watched far too many ridiculous British game shows. Between turns, any player may use their team's Joker by posting ##Joker in the thread. It must be in that format, or it will be ignored. 7a.a. On the turn following a Joker's activation, every player on that team will receive two cards, and each piece will be moved according to the more profitable of those two cards. Only one Joker may be played for each team in a single turn. 7a.b. Each team begins play with a single Joker. However, when play begins, additional Challenges will be made available, allowing motivated teams to earn more Jokers. 7a.c. Additionally, in a fairly-sizeable change from the original game, each player on a team may now submit a response to a challenge, resulting in each joker challenge being worth up to four jokers for your team. 7b. Finally, each player may only encounter each individual character square once. If, for example, a player has drawn the card directing them to the Ice Cream Sea, if they draw it again later in the game, they will not move that turn. 7b.a. Let's call this the Plumpy Amendment. Nobody likes hangin' with Plumpy.  8. This is Rosemary. Rosemary is majestically fluffy. Rosemary is also kind of dumb, because like all cats, she has a brain approximately the size of a walnut. Rosemary likes sitting on things. There is a very good chance she will sit on the game board at some point during this competition. 8a. If Rosemary sits on the board and dislodges pieces or even knocks them to the carpet, the piece will be placed on the board on the nearest available valid square. This may be a help (if the piece moves towards the window) or a hindrance (if the piece moves towards the kitchen.) 8b. The Rosemary Rule applies equally to Meyer, who is smarter than Rosemary, but still not that smart. 9. There will be some setup time between recruiting all five teams and actually beginning play while playing pieces are constructed. This should not exceed a day or two at most. 10. Posting "didn't read rules/thread" or some variation thereof when you attempt to sign up is a good way to ensure you will not be assigned a team. Also, naturally, you'll have to read the rules to see this rule. 11. If you do not talk poo poo about your opponents, you are probably boring. Don't be boring. 12. We know this game is broken as hell, just roll with it. Rules are, of course, subject to change if they are preventing the game from completing in a reasonable manner. Or if I feel like it. 13.

oldskool posted:gum isn't even a candy, it's a jaw exercise. it's practically healthy, the exact opposite of candy. It's a sugar delivery system that turns into an adhesive when you're done with it! While it may be soft and rubbery, it's indigestible and thus indefatigable. Take this wrongthinker, for example: Jon Joe posted:The candy tier goes mint > everyone else > your sad candied rear end If you're implying that mint and gum don't go well together then I couldn't disagree more!
