Welcome one and all to Sprouty's Funhouse! This event is open to ticket holders only.

Following a number of minor Health and Safety violations, my Funhouse was tragically shut down. In order to fund the renovations required, I'm holding a special event. 20 players have earned VIP status through the Funhouse Pre Game, which ran from the 3rd February to the 7th February via a link hidden in my forum signature. Each person who secured a VIP ticket has been gifted a unique Ability for use during the event. Players can earn points during their stay and at the end of the event, the VIP with the most points will be crowned as winner and given the title of Ultimate VIP!

Rules
[1] - Aim of the game
The Funhouse was once rated a top entertainment venue, but has fallen into disrepair. To fund much needed renovations, the Funhouse is hosting this special event. The top twenty players of the Pre Game event have won VIP tickets to this event, which gained them entry and a individual VIP #. Each VIP # is insured for millions, with Funhouse the sole beneficiary. My VIPs accept the risk of injury, death, frustration and lost sleep. The VIP at the end of the game with the most points will be declared as winner - the Ultimate VIP.

[2] - VIP Numbers
I have been informed that there is some history between some of my visitors. For legal reasons (to avoid accusations of slander), I will only publicly refer to players by their VIP #. When I speak to the VIP directly, I will use a NICKNAME connected to their ability. If a player leaves the Funhouse or dies, they will lose their VIP # and this will return to the ownership of the Funhouse. Players do not know each other's VIP # or NICKNAME and may wish to keep their own identity secret from other players.

[3] - Active and Inactive Phases
Each day will be broken down in to phases, reflecting the time of day. Updates from or by the host will be normally be provided during inactive phases, but the phases progress at their set times regardless of actions taken by the host. VIPs must not attempt to complete activities out outside of the correct phases.

[4] - Morning
The MORNING phase will run from 06:01 to 12:00 and is an active phase. During this period, players must vote for a VIP #. The VIP Number securing the most votes will be confirmed at Lunch Time. Players who make a valid vote in the morning vote will gain one point.

[5] - Lunch Time
LUNCH TIME is between 12:01 and 14:00 and is an inactive phase. At lunchtime, the VIP Number will normally be confirmed as subject of the afternoon vote, together with their NICKNAME. It will look something like this:

Most Votes: VIP #1
VIP Nickname: 'Player One'

[6] - Afternoon
The AFTERNOON phase runs from 14:01 to 20:00. During this time, players must vote, based on forum player name, for the VIP who they wish to send on the GHOST TRAIN. Players who place a valid vote will gain one point, whilst players who vote for the forum name which matches the VIP # selected in the morning vote will gain five points. The player with the most votes will later take a ride on the GHOST TRAIN.

In the event of a tied AFTERNOON vote, the host will ask for a VIP to decide the tie outcome. The first response received will be accepted

[7] - Bedtime
The BEDTIME phase runs from 20:01 to 06:00 and is an inactive phase. During this period, the Host will review the performance of players during the day and update all visitors on the findings. Points for the day will be revealed, together with any other important updates. HOOK A DUCK and RING TOSS will open and players will redeem any tickets held. Players must not attempt to redeem ABILITIES during this period unless authorised in advance.

[8] - Player Abilities
Each player has a unique ABILITY. Players must use their abilities each day unless otherwise stated in the role profile. Player ABILITIES may take priority over rules described.

[9] - Punishments
If a player breaks more than one rule in a day, they may be punished during the following day. Players will be advised of any PUNISHMENTS issued at BEDTIME.

[10] - Carnival Games
CARNIVAL GAMES are a game of luck and have a number of prizes available, of ranging quality and appeal. The prizes won on Carnival Games is decided by use of a random number generator.

[11] - Hook A Duck
Every VIP will be gifted a free ticket to HOOK A DUCK if they are alive at the start of bedtime. Guaranteed prize, every time!

[12] - Ring Toss
VIPs who are found to have made no rule infringements at the Bedtime review will have their HOOK A DUCK ticket upgraded to a RING TOSS ticket.

[13] - Ghost Train
VIPs may win a chance to ride on the GHOST TRAIN! Please note that the Funhouse accepts no liability with respect to any injuries or death. Fully insured (Funhouse sole beneficiary).

If a player leaves the Funhouse, their VIP #, Nickname and brief role description will be revealed.

[14] - Private Messages
Players may communicate with each other privately. However, players must not send private messages to the host, unless it is specifically required to activate their ABILITY, or by winning the opportunity to do so.

[15] - Spectators
The noise from the Funhouse may draw attention of spectators, some of whom might ask to join in. If access is granted, new players will enter as a SPECTATOR, able to openly communicate, but without the benefits granted to VIPs. If there are 1 or more VIP #s available at the close of bedtime, they will be allocated randomly to spectators and at that point, they become active VIPs.

[16] - End Game
The game will end at the close of Bedtime once the NICKNAME of every VIP # has been revealed, or if at any point there are ten or less active VIPs remaining in the game. The player with the most points at the end of the game will be declared the Ultimate VIP! All rules are active from Monday 13th February at 06:01.

[17] - Redeeming Prizes
Prizes won in Carnival Games can be redeemed as per their instructions below. Players must not attempt to redeem a prize not held by their VIP #. Prizes may be redeemed at any time, but will be activated at the following BEDTIME.

HOOK A DUCK
* 1 Point - Automatically applied
* Minus 1 Point - Automatically applied
* Free Vote - When you are ready to redeem you Free Vote(s), you must post in topic, alongside your MORNING or AFTERNOON vote:
I wish to use (number) of free votes today earned by VIP # (your number)"
AND send me this completed form before the completion of the phase.
* Private communication with the host (single use) - Using this template. I will respond once, openly with a full response to your message and you will not be deemed to have broken rule 14.
Ghost Train Ticket - Automatically applied

RING TOSS

* 3 Points - Automatically applied

* Loaded Pistol - Redeemed by completing this form during an active phase.
* 2x Points Multiplier - Automatically applied
* Private Nickname Reveal - Redeemed by completing this form

...Are we still allowed to play Hook-a-Duck or is that inappropriate with an actual duck taking part?

You can't eat the duck, you power-hungry demon! I might not be able to do much, but I forbid it!

And then pay the consequences for it and the duck will likely be eaten anyway.

Thank you all for coming!

Whilst I finish writing the rules (literally), I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the Pre Game.

Should I reveal the signup time of each VIP #? First to answer quoting this post gets to decide!

Can't hurt to know that information. It's anonymised, so I say go for it.
