Liar Game

[Crisn]

You read the title and no I don't mean the manga. Although the whole idea is to deceive and trick others. But because there is a big restriction as we are only doing this on computer, with text no less, there will be some rules and improvised ways to strategise.

READ CAREFULLY PLEASE!!!

#1. There will be 2 teams. consisting of 4-? people.

The game is called "True" "False". The Object of the game is to tell a story, and try to get your opponent to say that it's FALSE.  You can see the Outline underneath

Teller || Caller           Teller                       Caller
FALSE - FALSE =  2x points lost     ||  1x points gain
TRUE  - FALSE =  1x points gained ||  2x points lost
FALSE - TRUE  =  0x points gained || 1x points lost
TRUE  - TRUE  =                     Neither Side

The Reason why there is a huge penalty for False is because this a game to get your opponent to say "False" and also Spam control. If you tell a false story, that's just too obvious so you don't deserve to win there, but if you tell a "true" story and get them to say false, there's more meaning to that. This is a "liar's game" you have to "trick" or make it convincing.

Each side will alternate story telling.

Any member of one team can speak at a time, calling answers, but what that does is just increase your losses, for instance 4 people called to answer, you will incur 4x times of the rewards or penalty. And the majority will rule.

If there is an even call of true and false on one team, the first person to call out the answer will be taken as the answer, but still incur the penalty and rewards of the entire team that called an answer.(wrong or right)

How to play :
Storyteller team tells a story(either true or false) and gives 5 hints. These 5 hints DO NOT HAVE TO LEAD TO THE ANSWER in fact! they can be completely random but CANNOT BE INCOHERENT. E.G. (Banana!, MonkeyButt!, Cheesey pudding) THEY MUST PERTAIN TO SOME TRUTH TO THE STORY, Even if its false!. Meaning, You should try to make it sound very convincing.

Each team will start with -500 points. The first team to reach +500 or drop the other team to -5000, wins. The right answer is worth 50 points. The wrong answers are worth 100 points. Meaning, if the answer was wrong, the side that made the story will get 100 points worth, and the side that called will lose 100 points worth depending on the format above.

If your interested in playing, PM ME and make sure to put (LIAR GAME PARTICIPANT) in the title!! DO NOT POST HERE UNLESS YOUR TELLING THE STORY OR GIVING THE ANSWER!! NO RANDOM SPAMMING! we must try to keep this as low traffic as possible so that we don't get confused as to what is going on. And After we get enough people to start playing, I will post the teams here on who gets to tell the story first.

ADDED*********
Just to make it more interesting, The winning side gets the "thanks" rep from every member of the losing team, and the losing team gets "lame" rep from every member of the winning team. No hard feelings though, kay? :)
