GAME

Who: ♥
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 392, evening

[ When you're called to the Game Tower, you'll find yourself in a completely windowless room with dizzyingly obnoxious carpet and wallpaper patterns.

In the center of the room is a circular table divided into the twelve unit colors, each offering a dispenser. Once the first member of your unit approaches the table, a bag of casino chips drops from the dispenser—it'll fall to the floor if someone doesn't catch it!

Be careful with those: you need them to get through tonight, after all.

There are twelve uncomfortable metal single-seat chairs for some people to sit, if they so choose to; the rest will have to sit on the floor. In the corner there's a wooden crate full of . . . weapons, along with a few pieces of surgical equipment.

Hmmm. This is probably safe.

In the far back, there's a TV with a young woman smiling, on a stage herself. ]

Heeeeeeeeeeey bitcheeeeeeeeeeeoh I can't say that I'm actually on TV this time. Helloooooooooooo idols! ♥

RULES

[spiteforthecamera]

• Each unit is given 300 chips at the beginning of the game.
  
• There are three punishments that will be inflicted on everyone at the end of the game.
  
• Units may purchase protections against each of these punishments. Full protection from the punishments costs 200 chips each.
  
• Units may gain chips via gambling.
  
  • There are 3 rounds, each 50 minutes long. There will be a 10-15 minute buffer time between rounds, so expect the game to be roughly ~4 hours long.
    
  • Each round, a question will be asked and units will be able to bet on the answer. All bets are public. Winners will receive dividends of what was betted.
    
  • Units may not bet more than they have. Should a unit lose every chip they have, they may purchase more chips once for the low low cost of bodyparts.
    
    • Bodyparts are promised, not taken, at the time of purchase.
      
    • Bodyparts will be taken at the end of the game.
      
    • Idols must be the ones to remove the bodyparts (that is, the game will not magically take the parts from them). If this is not done, no one will be allowed out of the Game Tower.
      
    • Bodyparts do not have to be from that unit.
    
    
  • Chips may not be stolen once they are placed on the betting table (OOCly commented to the betting header). However, until then, chips may be stolen by other units by any means.
    
  • When successfully stealing (determined via player communication), please roll a 1d100 to figure out how many chips have been stolen. If this is more than the unit has, the unit will not go into debt.
  
  
• Winners are the most protected units, plus one audience choice (for being the rowdiest). This, including the criteria for audience choice, is ICly known.
  
• Winners receive painless healing for any unprotected punishments. However, all bodypart pawning must go through, regardless of winning.
  
• Mathematically, it is impossible for more than 6 units to be fully protected.
  
• Powers are on. Items are on. Check how abilities interact with the game here.
  
  
• Most important: you may not say, outright or implied, who you voted for or would vote for. It is physically impossible but if anyone tries to push past it, write it down, etc, the bodypart used in the attempt will literally be zapped with lightning and become unusable for the rest of the game (if it's their mouth it'll just be localized to their tongue/lips not their whole head). This is ICly known. OOCly please do not actually convey any information, even if you just want your character to eat shit from the punishment, just gloss over what they were going to say/write/etc.

ABILITY NOTES

[spiteforthecamera]

• No unit may damage, destroy, or otherwise disturb the betting table, with abilities or otherwise. It is fully protected: all attacks bounce right off and reflect in a random direction. This is not ICly known.
  
• In the interest of keeping people playable, all abilities have a maximum duration of 1 round. If someone is made to forget the game's existence via BARiTONES' ability, they will remember the next round. This is not ICly known.
  
• Bodyparts that are cut off for pawning cannot regrow.
  
• Adventures in Wonderland may not cover part or whole of the betting table. Chips may be protected inside the cottage, but must be taken out in order to play.
  
• sensitIV healing abilities can only be used on someone (including themself) one at a time. This means if you are re-attaching a limb, you cannot numb the pain. If you regrow your own limb, you cannot numb the pain of regrowth.
  
• Technokinesis used to say who they voted for (via controlling a phone to spell it out/send a text/etc) will result in the character's brain being zapped and them running on 1/2 thinking capability for the rest of the game.
  
• Henshin forms and vice versa will still have missing bodyparts if they have been pawned off for chips.
  
• Self-Fulfilling Prophecy must be specific in unit targeting and must occur before the unit turns in (please ask for permission as well). There cannot be any "I predict everyone will vote wrong." It must be as specific as "I predict Taisho will vote for sensitIV."
  
• Nothing Up My Sleeve may not access any place outside the current game's room.
  
• Foresight may be used to, once per character per round, retcon a bet. Once turn-in time is up, they can no longer use Foresight for that bet.

Re: ROUND 3 RESULTS

[widenessofthesea]

I want a framed certificate in BAD END asserting that I was right.

BUY CHIPS

[spiteforthecamera]

Here is the chips exchange window, where you can take a green, orange, or red tickets. Since everyone's playing sooooooo conservatively, I'll let you guys buy more chips right now ♥

Bodypart pricing:

• Insignificant (ex: fingers, toes)—10 chips
  
• Troublesome (ex: hands, feet)—50 chips
  
• Debilitating (ex: whole limbs, eyes)—100 chips

Notes:

• Robotic parts do not apply.
  
• Bodyparts are promised, not taken, at the time of purchase. Bodyparts will be taken at the end of the game, regardless of winning heals.
  
• You may only make a bargain once, but you can trade in up to 2 bodyparts, one of each.
  
• Bodyparts must be removed by PCs (the game will not do it). If this is not done by the end of the game, no one will be allowed out of the Game Tower.
  
• Bodyparts do not have to be from the bargaining unit.

Form:
<b>Unit: </b> <b>Bodypart(s): Insignificant/Troublesome/Debilitating</b>

Re: BUY CHIPS

Bodypart(s): 1x debilitating, 1x troublesome

BODYPART COLLECTIONS

[idolpro]

If you bargained for chips, you must now pay up. Here is where you can thread for that.

You can, until 8:10PM PST (approx 15 min OOC) decide if you want to buy more chips right now. If you have already bought chips, you can no longer do so. (You don't need to thread out the bodypart hacking within 15 minutes though.)

[ Here is an empty crate.

Place your ticket and the bodypart here. ]

PUNISHMENTS
