The rules are simple!
At the start of each game, you can submit your character as an "Entrant"! Once four characters have been made entrants, the game begins.
The game is played in four rounds, and at the start of each round, each character takes turns rolling their dice (the actual Dice will be rolled by the Game Master).
After rolling, a character will move a number of spaces equal to their dice roll, where they will land on their CHALLENGE SPOT! The Challenge Spot will give them a fun little scenario to RP, but usually with fun twists thrown in!
At the end of each round, the Game Master (and anyone else who is not playing but who wishes to toss in their opinion!) will rate the characters on a scale of 1 to 10 based on how well and/or amusing they performed their challenges that round! If multiple people offer their opinions, the GM can simply average them out to arrive at their score.
Then, the next round begins!
At the end of the fourth round, the GM will then award some bonus points to characters who met certain bonus criteria, and whomever ends up with the highest score wiiiiiiiins!
---The Board---
The Board is a mere 12 Spaces long, and characters will complete multiple laps around it. Which challenges are on which space, however, will be randomized for every game out of a list of several possible challenges!
---The Challenges---
These are basically scenario prompts that have the players engaging in a miniature RP, usually for the sake of amusement!
An Example would be: "Compelling Date"! If a character lands on this space, they must RP their character having a date with one of the other characters on the board, but must try to make it as SOAP OPERA DRAMATIC as possible, while still attempting to stay somewhat in character!
---Bonus Twists!---
As an added mindscrew, a Random Twist Condition will be implemented at the end of every round! These conditions basically enact effects that the characters must adhere to during their challenges for the round!
For example, at the end of the third round, "Animal Mode" could be implemented, which forces all characters into an animal form. They must then RP their prompts in these forms (with all the limitations!) for the entirety of the final round!
---The Scoring---
At the end of each round, each playing character will receive a score from 1 to 10 in the following areas:
-Amusement Factor-
-IC Quality (making allowances for ridiculous prompts)-
-Sticking to the Prompt-
-Effort Value-
The average of the four scores will be their TOTAL score (i.e., scores of 8, 10, 9, and 7 would merit an average of: 8).
If other people that are watching the game offer their own scoring opinions as well, the GM will include those scores in the averaging process.
---Final Bonus!---
At the end of the final round, some lucky characters will get Bonus Points based on some criteria!
MVP - The player who got the highest scores in sticking to the prompts will receive this, bagging an extra 5 points!
MFP - The person who was generally the funniest will receive this, bagging 5 points!
MIC - The person who managed to do the best job of staying IC despite the prompts will gain this 5 point bonus!
---A Winner is You!---
Once all the scores and bonuses are added up, the winner is declared! Hooray!
Then, a new game can begin with new people submitting their characters as "Entrants"!
NOTE: If a character was featured as an entrant in one or more of the most recent two games, though, and there are OTHER characters trying to get into the game whom have not had a chance to play yet, they will be given precedence!
