So I've done this once before and it was reasonably successful iirc.
Please take the time to read the following description, it's a bit long but I wanted to cover everything in one post.
Thank you.
Here goes......
Hello.
Game Outline : Forum members should apply individually, everyone that wants to play will be included, and assigned to a team. How many teams and how many members per team will depend on the level of response, I'm hoping for 3 or more teams with around 4 to 5 on each, the game format doesn't require specific numbers, so I won't turn anyone who wants to play away.
So what's it about and how does it work?
Each team will start with £500 Tibbloons. There will be a series of tasks and challenges in which teams will compete and for each task the teams must wager some of their kitty on the outcome. Teams may gamble any amount between £1 and 100 Tibbloons on each task, winning that task will then result in whatever amount was gambled being doubled and returned to their kitty.
For example if a team gambles £50 and wins the first task then £100 will go back in the kitty. Therefore that team would then have a balance of £550 Tibbloons.
The other teams will lose half of the amount they chose to gamble from their kitty. So a losing team in task 1 who gambled £50 would lose half that amount from the kitty, leaving them with £475 Tibbloons to play with.
Tasks will be judged in different ways, by a mixture of poll/judges or performance depending on the nature of the task.
All players will remain in the game and get to take part in all tasks from start to finish, unless they are blackballed (more on that later) which as long as you're reasonably active is unlikely.
After all the challenges have been completed, the two teams with the highest amounts left in their kitties will go Head to Head in the final challenge "Winners Take It All". For everyone else it's the end of the road....
Details of the Final Challenge will come later and anything could happen!
The Winning Team members will all receive an award (pending approval) ... which leads me nicely to the Application process.
Applications are now open and you may apply by pm, all you need to say is that you want to play Easy.
However, for anyone that wants the chance to start off with a bit of an advantage for their allocated team then read on my dears.... I need a logo and an award designed for the game, so if any applicants want to submit these for consideration (forum vote will decide) then please do so.
Whoever submits the chosen logo will receive £50 Tibbloons towards their team kitty and whoever submits the chosen award design will receive £25 Tibbloons towards their team kitty, could even end up being the same team getting both bonuses Teams will be allocated randomly btw, once applications close.
There will be approximately 7 to 8 tasks depending how quickly we get through them. The game will start the first week in June and last around 2 weeks.
BlackBalls : Each team will have two Blackballs. After a task a team may choose to blackball one of their members if anyone is costing them money! A majority decision has to be agreed for anyone to go home. On reaching the final, for each blackball a team has NOT used will earn them £50 Tibbloons for their kitty.
I think I've covered everything, but ask me anything you want/need to know and applications are now open.
Don't forget those bonuses are available for designs, which should be pmd to me and NOT posted in here please. They'll be judged anonymously for fairness.

Just reading about it for the first time, now.
I'm not sure there are enough people to do it, but if the numbers are there, I'll give it a go. I'm going to be away again in a few weeks, so all depends on the timings.

Hi kate...
Can you please edit the below part of the rules. It's really giving me OCD.
£500 Tibbloons. There will be a series of tasks and challenges in which teams will compete and for each task the teams must wager some of their kitty on the outcome. Teams may gamble any amount between £1 and 50 Tibb pounds

It's a person(the eventual winner) atop a flying blackball that's got gravestones of blackballed contestants sticking out from it.
We need the twist of the team playing each other off at the end..that's their gravestones.

It's very good, however it's a team that wins, not an individual.

I'm not playing but if anyone wants to do a Lucky 15 I'll settle it for you. 3x odds for one winner, 15% bonus on all 4 winners. Pretty generous I'd say. Been a while since you could get 3x on the high street.
Really I just want to see if I remember how to do it :joker:.

OK love. However I've just realised that due to one team having 3 members, due to the task you will know which they are.
Do you still wish to judge. I really hope so.

Let me think. Problem is you are judging collectively if you get what I mean.

Could you do it separately ...they gamble on the team name and then a second gamble on the nickname?
