Game Information
Chilling Tales
Chilling Tales is a storytelling contest with a spooky theme. Up to ten individuals can compete. There will be a sign-up list at the event. Contestants will have five minutes to tell an original spooky story. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to spooky theme, style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners and receive prizes.
Ghastly Guts
How well can you fling some guts at a target? Come on by and find out! Up to forty contestants can participate. The illustrious judges will provide you with five bits of gut-flinging materials. Scoring is based off where you hit the target. All five attempts will be totaled. Top two high scores will receive prizes.
Haunted Spirits
Haunted Spirits is this year's live games cooking contest, with a twist! Instead of a food dish, you will be created a beverage. One hour before the contest's start, a crate containing six ingredients will be open for viewing. At least four of these ingredients must be used in your liquid concoction.
When the event starts, ten contestants can sign up. Each contestant will be given a sack with a secret ingredient in it. You'll have ten minutes from that point to create your final beverage and then five minutes to make it for everyone. You may also use one ingredient of your own choosing, and water will be considered available for everyone.
During your five minutes, you should prepare your concoction, putting on a show for everyone. At the end, the judges will sample it. Judging will be based on a scale of 1-10 for time management, ingredients used, style and flair of creation, and the creativity of the final product (its name, description, tastes). Top three will be awarded prizes, with the winner getting a special commemorative teabowl as well.
- Tips
- DON'T waste precious time actually picking up the supplied ingredients. Just use ACTs and other RP tools to show which ones you are working with. Almost everyone who goes over on time does so because they are trying to pick up and put down every single item whenever they want to do something with it, and that extra time is killer!
- DO get creative with your style and flair! This is your time to shine and make an impression.
- DON'T go OOC.
- DO try to also present your final tastes like actual drink messages. For example, "The refined palate sipping this beverage should notice the notes of winterberry and pickle juice swirled with barbecued rolton." It's not QUITE a drink message, but it's an IC way to get across what one would be if it were a real item.
Lethal Libations
Lethal Libations is a game of chance, and it may be lethal, so come prepared! When it is your turn, you pick a libation from the basket and drink it. If you are poisoned, you are out! Rounds will continue until we are down to the last man standing! Last two will receive prizes.
Otherworldly Omens
Fancy yourself a master at divination? A purveyor of all things clairvoyant? Well, come show how good you are at Otherworldly Omens! Up to ten contestants can participate. Ten minutes before your turn, you will be given a sack containing the item you are to attempt your reading on. When it is your turn, you will have five minutes to perform the reading. Contestants will be cut off if they go over the time limit. Judging will be based on time, adherence to divination theme (such as incorporating the item given, doing a reading, etc), style, and content. The three players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.
Spooky Ciphers
Spooky Ciphers is an anagram game. The hosts will read an anagram, and the first person to solve for the word wins a point. Twenty anagrams will be read, and the two players with the highest scores will be deemed winners.
