MINORITY RULE - ITEMIZED INSANITY
Welcome, welcome, one and all! Of days past we preach, but could, perhaps, we live those prior participations? The rose-tinted ridiculousness of randomness! What fun! And, for one day alone, I shall go and be the host of this show!
THE STANDARDS
What sort of fun could we have begun without the rules of the game? None!!!
The game goes as so: at the call of the round, in the thread, you will be presented with selections. Be at attention! There will be 1 more choice than the count of the retention. And each thing has a trait of its own, so read close…
At the start of each round, in thread, there will be a LIST. The list has items equal to 1 PLUS the number of participants remaining. There is a guide in this first post below the RULES that describes each possible item and its effects.
Say what you select by private-messaged text to the director. There’s a ticking clock time limit, so take not too long! Or your fate will be tied to the majority’s sway…
PM the host, @Keldi, with your choice BY THE TIME LISTED in the round start post. If you fail to send in a choice by that time, your choice will be defaulted to the MAJORITY.
(Note from the host: if you are Radical or Insane, your vote will default to a random item that will kill you.)
And forget not to forge friendships with your favorite foes! Alliances will carry you to adventurous ascents beyond failure!
You can talk to each other in the THREAD ONLY. This is ADVISED AND ENCOURAGED.
Some of these strange selections bring about STATUS EFFECTS! One at a time, folks! Remember, before the ruling comes the conditions! But not as they apply!
Some items will give you STATUS EFFECTS. There is a guiding list of them BELOW, in this top post. Only one condition applies to a person at a time, and which condition is applied to a person between two effects that could both apply at the same time is UP TO HOST DISCRETION.Conditions will take effect before the majority is called IN MOST CASES. Conditions will NOT apply on the round a person gains one.
And after abilities and all are applied, all choices are shown to everyone! And, including ties, all those who picked the item with the majority of pickers…
DIE.
(…As in, are out of the game!)
At the end of the round, AFTER conditions apply, all choices are revealed in thread. Everyone who picked the item(s) with the most picks is ELIMINATED.
And thus, victory comes at a cost- the procedural picking-off of the competition, cruel as it may be, with one alone standing at the end… unless it’s two. Two too! Or maybe you all cut each other down carelessly and let none be…
The game ends when 1 or 2 participants remain at the END of the round. NO winners is also possible, so be careful.
Come one alt, come all alts! Bring 'em in, boys!!!
This is an ALT-FRIENDLY game.
ALL Global Rules and Forum Game Rules apply! Except one. We here at █████████ are considerate of common sense, and have come to decide that Forum Game Rule 16 is not applicable. We get it! This isn’t a game where you can ramble on for hours like I do! Haha. But we DO encourage you to talk to your pals here if you can muster it! We just won’t require it.
Forum Game Rule 16, about making 15 game-related posts per phase, does NOT apply.
To prove you read the rules, write down a riddle! Here’s mine: when you take a █████ and ████████ and fit a ███████████ on ████████, what do you get? Probably a human rights violation!
Sorry you had to hear that, my partner’s something of a LUNATIC.
NO BALANCE. WE DIE LIKE THE QUEEN.
Pray to RNGESUS. Pray that you are SPARED from Its wrath.

THE STATUSES
Antisocial - If you pick an item that more than 1 other person picks, you die.
Blessed - You will be saved from death one time. After you are saved from death, this status is removed.
Blinded - Your next selection will be randomized. This status is removed after it is applied once.
Cloaked - Your vote cannot be seen unless you are part of the majority. Consequently, your vote will not be included in the number tally.
Cursed - You will die next round unless this status is removed or your death is prevented. If you do not die, this status is removed.
Devout - If any player is Devout, there will be one item that can only be picked by Devout players.
Heavy - Your vote counts as 2 votes.
Indecisive - You must pick 2 items. Your choice will be randomized between these two.
Insane - You must pick the majority, or you will die.
Light - Your vote is not counted.
Lovers - Effects that apply to one apply to the other. Picking the same item makes your collective vote count as 1.
Murderous - A random player who picks the same item as you is eliminated.
Phobic - If any player is Phobic, there will be one item that CANNOT be picked by Phobic players.
Radical - You must pick the majority OR the minority, or else you die. You will not die by picking the majority.
Sniper - You may pick one item, and one random picker who chooses it will die. This is a one-use power.
Sticky - Whatever item you pick will return next round. This effect only lasts one round after it is applied.
Targeted - All item and status effects that would pick someone random will pick you. This only applies if you would have been a possible choice anyways.
Warded - You cannot gain a status next round. This status wears off the round after it is applied.
The game will begin on a 24 hour timer at some point after the 12th participant joins the game, during which period any amount of people may continue to join until the timer is up. When exactly depends on my work and sleep schedule.
