Hey folks! I will be running a modified GM game for the weekend of July 19th-July 21st.
For the unfamiliar, GM is traditionally a PvP locked room team game where you discuss and receive/hand out punishment cards for other teams to take, and earn and lose points correspondingly (kinda like the hotdog game tbh, but usually much bloodier.) Usually it runs much longer than three days, but! This is an experimental shortened version where the emphasis is on the punishments more than on the point counting. Only one winner will be determined via points; the rest will be determined on how well and enthusiastically they fulfill punishments.
- Card Round 1 (locked room) will run Friday Jul 19 5 PM PST-9 PM PST, with your answers due by 9 PST. I will have results up by the next morning before Card Round 2 begins.
- Card Round 2 (locked room) will run Saturday Jul 20 9 AM PST-1 PM PST, with your answers due by 1 PM PST. I will have results up for you by 3 PM PST.
- The Punishment Round (mingle format), in which you must enact punishments you played on other teams upon those teams yourselves, will run from Saturday Jul 20 3 PM PST to Sunday Jul 21 6 PM PST.
Since we have a lot of players with lower availability this month I’m going to try staggering the structure/timing to allow people to make what they can! So if you’re not able to be around all weekend don’t sweat it too hard and just participate in the parts you can make, though I would ask teams try to coordinate and make sure they have enough overall presence to get turn-ins done and meaningfully participate in the punishment round.
Weeds will be placed with flocks at random and will give and take punishments with their assigned flocks.
Please sign up below as I do need to know which teams are playing and which Weeds will need to be assigned to do my prepwork beforehand! Signups will close atmidnight PST 9 PM PST Thursday July 18 and I will not accept them after that.
Please make sure your squick lists are updated as well! The nature of this game means I’m not going to do individually-customized punishments, but I will at least avoid giving you anything you cannot deal with OOCly.
