Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been a week since our last game, and that means we’ll be playing again this weekend. I’m sure everyone is excited in anticipation about the weekend’s game.
This Hive announcement to provide all the details of the game and answer some of the questions I was asked about the games. In this way, the Hive post will serve as a reference for new players who just found out about the game on Hive to refer to in order to understand the game. But we’ll still put the announcement on our City Discord too in #citygames for citizens who don’t want to check it out here on Hive. Announcements will always be posted on the city discord first so citizens have a first peek of the new game for the week.
I had thought of announcing it only in the city discord, but if I did that, the questions we answer will get lost up in chat (because the city chat is soooo busy) and new people who join the games from Hive or even new citizens will always keep asking the same questions to understand the games as well. So putting it here on Hive leaves a permanent reference to the gameplay guide and rules for everyone forever.
And Now The Reveal Of This Weekend’s Game
This weekend, we’ll be playing…
Word Unscramble
I’m pretty sure the game title is a little self-explanatory, but let’s still talk about it a bit to give others who might not be familiar with it, an overview.
If you’ve played scrabble before, this game will be simple for you because it’s a kind of an adaption of scrabble. So with word unscramble, you provide a word and the other person forms a word (or words) out of it using the letters in the word you provided. Whether or not they’ll form one word or multiple words out of the provided word is entirely up to the group playing. I’ll indicate what our case is in the game play guide section.
As always guys, let’s remember to bold our contributions to the game to separate it from in-game chat so that the game contributions don’t get lost in chat. I look forward to seeing you all there this weekend:)
The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules
I’ll create a giveaway in the giveaway room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have two winners. Everyone can enter the giveaway but only the selected person gets to play.
Player A presents person B a word and player B has to form 2 words out of the given word. Then it's player B's turn to present their word too.
The total gameplay time will be 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours (or more, but hopefully not as it’ll get stressful) if the turn up is great and we still have many citizens who haven’t played.
Mr Dragon🐲 will play with us once a while when he has some time to spare, to grace the occasion(I doubt that’ll happen often or at all though so no promises)
Gameplay Rules
As always…
- Have fun
- Have fun
- Be creative and interesting. Let your imaginations run wild.
For now, these are pretty much all the rules. Be a human being and have fun, basically. Lol. I’m trying to keep it as simple as it can be to keep it fun. But we certainly need rules or else people will go overboard. Like I already said, as the weeks progress, there’ll be tweaks to the rules and we’ll have different games every week(hopefully). If we want this to keep going though, the turnouts will have to be encouraging and participation should be good too.
It’s important to note though that the game is not just for people already in the Neoxian city. You can join us today and play with us this weekend!
Hive is so full of articles but people don’t really know what we look like offline. Our personalities and the stories behind our lives. Come play with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Discord to have an off-chain interaction with some of the Hivers you already might know and find out more about them! Don’t miss it this Sunday!
This is a real time countdown to the game time. Courtesy of Mr Dragon’s tech savviness:). I’m working on a way to include people from all over the world in our games, so it is very likely that our game time will change in the next game.
Please ask me questions if you don’t understand anything. If you have any concerns about any of the rules, please let me know too so we can review them before game time. You can tag and mention others I missed to mention in this post so they don’t miss out as well. A reblog and upvote will be appreciated too. Head over to the Neoxian City Discord on Sunday and let’s have some fun!!!
