Default The SHOW Show - The Discussion and Voting Thread

The Supremely Hilarious and Often Wacky Show!


Link to the House Thread.

Narrators: Haruki-kun, Raiser_B1ade

Once upon a time, there was a Playground, and in that Playground, there were people. But those people were always asking each other the same questions…

Who is the weakest link? Is that the final answer? The cake! Is it a lie?

In an attempt to solve this, an Angel (no, really) descended to the Playground and told them. “There is a way…. To settle this! We’ll play a game! A silly game!”

A house appeared in the middle of nowhere and the Angel said. “This is the house where you will play, but only those chosen by destiny may play! Select now, Destiny!"


This is a Role-Playing Game and is based almost entirely in role-playing.

The Rules:
  • There will be 16 players.
  • The players will have to work on eliminating each other through a specific process specified below.
  • There are no rules. Godmodding is PERFECTLY allowed (as long as it’s not outright controlling the other person’s character’s actions and speech). Please, avoid complaining about godmodding.
  • The players will live and survive with each other within the house

Choosing the players:
The players will be chosen randomly. How? Well, easy! Open you’re chocolate bars, and inside you will find… The Golden Tickets! 16 of them!

OK, no. It’s just like that, but instead of Chocolate, they’ll be posts! How it works: I’ll select an SMBG thread and select a post number. Whoever posts in that thread and that post number will receive, (Via PM) a Golden Ticket. I’ll await confirmation from that person to see if he or she really wants to play. If not, they may give the ticket to someone else, or else we'll recycle the ticket and give it out in the same way.

Participating Threads: Any SMBG’s. NO Structured Games, NO Town, and NO Heal/Hurts, so please don’t go Spamming them. Also, please do not post just for the sake of it. If you’re posting in a game, actually play the game. Kiss, Kill, Stab, or lose The Game. Spamming a Thread won’t get you the Ticket. Also, don’t break the Three Post Rule, needless to say.

On Elimination:
  • Every two days, two people will be nominated to be removed from the house. As in some reality shows, the nominations will proceed as follows: The players will PM me a private vote on who to nominate. This vote includes two nominations. The two people with the most votes will be nominated to be kicked out of the house. In the event of a tie, all those who are tied will be nominated. Forming alliances to nominate people is against the rules. Please do not do so.
  • The Spectators, that is, everyone who is not playing, but simply watching, will then proceed to vote on whom they want kicked out of the house out of those nominees. These votes, however, are done in public in a separate thread. The people inside the house, may vote too, if they so desire. However, they may not vote if they are nominated.
  • When there are four finalists, we’ve reached the final round, in which people will vote on which if the four players they’ll want to win. None of the four finalists are allowed to vote in this case.

Phases:
The Nomination phase will last from 24 to 48 hours.
The Voting Phase will last 48 hours.
The Final Round will last for 72-96 hours. Because they usually have to be multiples of 24.

This thread will be used to discuss, support, and vote.

Now then... let us begin!

*blows whistle*
*shoots pistol into the air*
*accidentally hits Raiser*

Whoops.... sorry.

Current Tickets (Some pending confirmation):

I watch. And if I get a Ticket I will play. Don't expect me to do much, watching someone who's watching the skys isn't as interesting as it looks.
Wait, it doesn't look interesting!
That's what I meant!

*Meanwhile, in the AMEN base*

Moon Called walks into the living room, a chocolate bar in hand. She rips the wrapper off, and just as she starts to take a bite, she notices a sheet of gold foil gently float to the ground. With a raised eyebrow, she bends to pick it up.



"Uh, Saphire?" Moon Called inquires of the celling. Behind the drow, a puff of purple smoke appears.

"Yeah?" Asks Moon Called's player, looking a little annoyed. For all intents and purposes, she looks like this.

Moon Called hands the golden ticket to the girl, steps back and covers her ears a second to late for a high-pitched squeal. "Holy shiz, MC! Where did you get this?"

"In my chocolate bar. You want it?"

Saphire gives an enthusiastic nod, grinning idiotically, before running off to Moon Called's room. The elf/drow sighs at her player's simple-mindedness, sitting down on the couch to channel surf.

In Moon Called's room, it took Saphire a grand total of thirteen minutes to get packed. After stealing her character's Suitcase of Holding, she had stuffed it full of a handful of posters, her play station along with some choice video games, two books, her favorite outfits, and cookies. Lots of cookies. Her Kabuto plushie was placed gently on top of the piles, and her Kakashi plushie next to him. The suitcase got zipped up, and Saphire stood, slinging it over her shoulder with a smile before poofing away in a cloud of purple smoke.

wow... Moon Called in a godmodding tournament... From my experience in AMEN... you should probably make the house a little ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION proof, or else it itself will collapse in the first few posts (wait... maybe I'm confusing MC with V junior... eh, the above still stands)


***********Meanwhile at the AMEN Base!!!*********

The "Valcano" explodes, engulfing the entire room in fire and lava. Had Saphire been there two seconds ago, she would have been vaporized!

See what I mean? Also make it "valcano" proof...

A winged elf, wearing what appears to be a white and gold silk robe, is busy packing up. The usual, armor, swords of smitiness, etc. . .
Regardless, it would appear most of the clothing that Shas is packing is white, gold, beige, etc. . . Interesting colour choice.

Also packed - Several hundred D&D books, about 20 character sheets, and a few Magic decks.

((Ah ah! I won a ticket!

*is happy* ))

...the sound of duelling banjoes echoes through the night...

A big blue limo pulls up outside the house and the music stops. The back door opens and Banjo jumps out, grinning and waving at the crowd, whether there is actually one there or not.

"Thank you! I love you all!"

Banjo strolls up the stairs towards the house grinning vacantly, a backpack full of Munchkin expansions in one hand and his banjo strapped across his back.

"Go, go, go, into the big cool house!"

Banjo disappears inside, still singing...

((I has Herman's ticket! Thanks buddy I owe you about a million! ))
