[X-Chick]

This is ridiculous. So basically I can't make a guess for the rest of the game? I quit.

Um calm down? Look you can make guesses however... Rules are rules, you didn't participate the first 2 rounds, so you never placed yourself in a room... It's unfair to those who did, that in the third round you can come in and just pick any room. You can make guesses, where did I say you couldn't? Next round you'll simply be placed where you said to be placed in round 3, or you can make an accusation.

X-Chick, I can't win either. I'm just having a good time playing a good'ol game with my fellow Hypesters. Please don't drop out; just use this time to get the hang of this stuff.

LAst time I'm going change the answer, the location you pick to occupy the previous round, is the location your suggesting for the next

The location I wish to occupy, is the location I must suggest as the murder site? Why? ...And what's the point of me picking a location for myself, anyway??

...I'm doing my best, but there are several elements that I simply do not understand. As far as I know the point of the game is to figure out who killed Hyper, where, and with what. Why I am
1) voting characters off,
2) figuring out who my partner is,
3) figuring out which character card my partner and I are assigned to, and 4) choosing a location to be in, I have absolutely no idea.


(It would make more sense if I were choosing a location for myself I am very, very sure is not the murder location, because if I'm in the same room with the killer, I get killed and lose the game. (It tells everyone else the location, but I'm dead!!) ...And so forth.)

We need to really ditch the Survivor Game elements here and just play Clue. Which I've never actually played. I liked the movie tho

In the board game clue, part of the fun is rolling dice, and getting to a room then being able to make a suggestion in that room. In the board game, you can't make the suggestion unless you're in the ROOM! What it does is add a bit of flair and difficulty to the game since you have to guess the room a head of time before you get your next clue card.

...I'm beginning to, but there are several elements that I simply do not understand. As far as I know the point of the game is to figure out who killed Hyper, where, and with what. Why I am 1) voting characters off, 2) figuring out who my partner is, 3) figuring out which character card my partner and I are assigned to, and 4) choosing a location. I had no idea until this point, that I was actually choosing a location for myself that I had to mandatorily suggest as the murder locale in the next round.

1) The game is a game of eliminationation, Hype Clue is made up of several "Hype Clue" games which eventually lead to one person being the winner. The reason a character is voted off at the end of each game is so that you keep eliminating people from the game till there's only 10 left(And we move on to the next phase which is played differently than this).

2) You need to figure out your character so that you don't accidently kick yourself off

3) You need to figure out who your partner is so he doesn't kick you and him off accidently, and it easier to win when you find your partner.

4) The object of the game is to figuring otu the murderer, you can't get murder. This is simply here to add a little more difficulty and make it more like the boardgame. You pick your location before hand, so let say you figuring out the location in the middle of hte round. You either take the risk of waiting a round or you make an accusation thus taking the risk of getting booted out.

Well I am having fun, and I haven't won yet.

As far as I know there's only been 2 rounds, at least that's all I've received PMs about. And yeah, I missed the first round, I've had to work all week. Which is why its a little ridiculous that we get like 24 hours for each round and if we were unable to get online in the small amount of time we're given then we basically can't win the next round because we don't have a location. But whatever, its Hoff with the shotgun at Jeffrie's Pad.

Are you making an accusation? Anyway... I upped it to 48 hours... Plus as long as you get in on the first round, that'll be your location till you move it again.

There are
- 18 players with 1-3 cards in their hands.
- 30 cards, some of which were eliminated on the first page, which is nice, and
- 1 "referee" (Movies205), who is holding a character card, a weapon card, and a location card. If I can guess what those three cards are in Movies's hand, I win the game.

So if hunter rider guessed "David Hasselhoff with the shotgun", I know he doesn't have those cards (David Hasselhoff character card) (Shotgun Weapon Card). Afterall, if he had the damn things in his hand, obviously they're not in Movies205's hands!!

Let's concentrate on Hasselhoff, for a moment. hunter rider, I know, doesn't have him: that makes a 1/18 chance, then, that Hasselhoff is in Movies's hand. But as more people GUESS "Hasselhoff with the X in the X room", I know they don't have Hasselhoff in their hand either, and the possibility of him being in Movies205's hand increases.

...It seems very important to keep track of what people guess, along with PMing people about their cards.

And I agree with earlier suggestions: lying should not be allowed. This is seriously hard enough without having to worry about liars.

Also another thing to remember, is I came up with these rules on my own. I simply sat in front of a computer for a couple of hours and had fun creating a new message board game. What sounds good on paper doesn't always work out... So I'd appriciate it, if you'd put give any feedback you have in the approriate way. If you don't like a rule, simply say you don't, I think I've been pretty chill so far with people's suggestions. For example, Honey Vibe thought it was too short, I put it out there for other people to comment, I always have a comment part in section 4. So next game I will elimate the location rule and see how it goes.

I got to go but I'll address any problems you all have when I get back.

 

[Honey Vibe]

No prob, I'm just thinking outloud!

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

I guess I'm not in this anymore. Oh well, I never was very good at this game anyway.

 

[X-Chick]

Alrighty, I'll try to keep up. And yes, I thought when we posted who we thought did it and all, it was an accusation.

 

[Honey Vibe]

X-Chick, I think there's a difference between that and an accusation. The PMs are merely guesses, that receive a response from Movies disproving it (and hinting otherwise). If you make an all-out accusation here in the thread, and you're wrong, you can't win the game. (Oh, wait... )

 

[X-Chick]

Yeah, I know.

Your still in the game... And... It seems X-Chick has won this round since her accusation is right

 

[Showtime]

Damn, I knew it. I kept messing around with that damn Jeffries place.

Yeah. Cluedo.

Yes. Cleudo.

Yeah the Hoff... He's gay for JAmie Stewart

 

[X-Chick]

Yay! I did something right finally!

 

[Showtime]

Weren't you just complaining about the game...and then you won. You are a tricky girl.

Seriously. Good job though. I stink so far.
