Ok so we need a plan here to keep this thread from becoming spammy and chaotic. Any ideas would be appreciated! and then we can start playing. Once we have the rules worked out I'll take "rules discussion" out of the title.

Ok people can play now! Rules are as follows
*There must be at least 4 people online to play, all who have agreed to an organized game
*One person must be selected to be the "Music Stopper", they will start and stop the music and declare the winner.
*In between when the music starts and when the music stops you may interact in and RPG fashion, but to keep it from getting out of hand it must be wandless, and there may be no sabotage to the other players.
*To keep this from being too spammy you must post *sit* along with an interesting fact about yourself or HP that is between 5-10 words (if you want to go longer, go ahead, but it will diminish your chances of winning). If somebody types something pointless or spammy, the Music Stopper can disqualify them from the round.
*If you posted at the same time as the Music Stopper stopped the music, and your post comes after theirs, you are not allowed to edit that post with *sits*, because then we have no idea who *sat* last.

Here's an example game

poster1: anyone up for a game?
poster2: yeah! I'd love to play!
poster3: Oh me too!
poster4: oh me three...or four?
poster2: ok I'll be the music stopper *starts music* It's Hit Me Baby One More time.
and if ginnyx relents stuff about going in circles and running into eachother...rpgish interaction and then
music stopper: *stops music* mwahahaha
and then all the other players posts *sits* interesting fact here
and then the music stopper says who posted it first and wins, but if the first one was something like *sits* MINE! that post will be disqualified and the second person will win. Make sense? wow that took a long time.

If you're still confused how to play, PM me LunaRockstheRadishes or Ginnyx (the creators) and we'll answer your questions.

The adding a HP fact to every *sit* post is a very good idea. Smile

Or perhaps an HP fact or an interesting fact about yourself or something you learned recently or...just something that other people might find it worth while reading. I don't think this should be acceptable: *sit* MINE!

lol yeah, probably not. plus the whole adding a fact or something makes it harder to get the first post... but we should make a limit that the fact can't be over 10 words long or something like that, just to make it fair.

Good idea, I like the idea about the HP fact. And it has to be somewhat readable, none of this.... hryayaj si eht 8 horrscux

I think 5 to 10 sounds good for a range.

For reference that ^ was exactly 10 words

lol good example. It has to be a fact about something...not a random string of words. If somebody types something spammy like dumbels example, they will be disqualified. oh and I think it should be for the music stopper to call people on spam.

Definitely. I mean, people are going to spam so if we're going to have a game like this we have to try to keep the amount of spam as low as possible.

Ok so I'll post a list of rules, if you want to make amendments do, but if you don't say you like it.

*There must be at least 4 people online to play, all who have agreed to an organized game
*One person must be selected to be the "Music Stopper", they will start and stop the music and declare the winner.
*To keep this from being too spammy you must post *sit* along with an interesting fact about yourself or HP that is between 5-10 words (if you want to go longer, go ahead, but it will diminish your chances of winning). If somebody types something pointless or spammy, the Music Stopper can disqualify them from the round.

I think thats it...

I don't think there should be anything allowed in during the music. We played in your party and wrote comments about crashing into chairs and stuff, but I think here that will make the thread too long.
