Advanced Members Popular Post HelperNate Posted August 11, 2021 Advanced Members Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Hi all! I am going to be hosting Crazy 8s card game @ Game chat! This game is similar to Uno, but instead of colors, are the 4 suits Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and also 3 Joker type cards: Black Joker, Red Joker, and Joker. Times: Session 1: Sunday August 15th @ 6PM PDT / 9PM EDT / 1AM GMT (next day) Session 2: Saturday August 21st @ 12AM PDT / 3AM EDT / 7AM GMT Session 2 continued - final game: Saturday August 28th @ 12AM PDT / 3AM EDT / 7AM GMT Objective: Clear your cards by throwing down a card from your hand that matches the suit of the starting card. Throw down the highest value among the other players to become the leading player and choose which card the other players have to match suit with. As you are throwing down your second to last card, be sure to call out in main chat an indication that you have 1 card remaining, just like calling out "Uno" when you have 1 card remaining in your hand. Clear all cards from your hand to win the game. Full rules and information: https://pastebin.com/FVsmRRbJ + Visual Aid There will be a total of 4 games, each one longer than the last, and the last game being taken all the way to the end until there is only 1 player left! Prizes will be distributed as follows: Game 1 (15 cycles): 1st place: 1500 xats 2nd place: 1000 xats 3rd place: 500 xats Game 2 (20 cycles): 1st place: 2250 xats 2nd place: 1500 xats 3rd place: 750 xats Game 3 (25 cycles): 1st place: 3000 xats 2nd place: 2000 xats 3rd place: 1000 xats Game 4 (to the death): 1st place: 3000 xats 2nd place: 2000 xats 3rd place: 1500 xats 4th place: 1000 xats 5th place: 750 xats 6th and 7th place: 500 xats 8th and 9th place: 300 xats 10th place: 200 xats Budget: 23550 xats Chat promo: 200 xats Total budget: 23750 xats For hosting twice: 23750 * 2 = 47500 xats (assuming the maximum number of participants join for both sessions) Unfortunately this event can only fit a maximum of 11 participants, and since win1 skip1 cannot be properly enforced, whoever wins 1st place in the previous game gets their first 3 turns skipped, 2nd place gets first 2 turns skipped, and 3rd place gets only their first turn skipped. Players cannot be changed during the game, so it is important to respond when it is your turn. If there are too many participants who want to join, a roulette will decide who gets to play. Test runs of the game are available whenever I am online in the chat in case anyone wants to play a game or two before the main event so they can get a general idea of how it works. Because I enjoy hosting this event so much, I have decided to host it twice at 2 different days and times to try to accommodate for most timezones. Days and times are listed above. I am a night owl, and I am usually online late at night to mid morning around 12AM - 6AM. My timezone is PDT. Hope to see you there!

Advanced Members HelperNate Posted August 13, 2021 Author Advanced Members Share Posted August 13, 2021 Update: I added a visual aid for those who are interested in seeing the game in which I got the idea to host this from. It's listed next to the full rules and information pastebin as "Visual Aid." I'll also be happy to answer questions here on this post! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members HelperNate Posted August 16, 2021 Author Advanced Members Share Posted August 16, 2021 The first event has finished! Here are the final results by regname: lllVilenlll - 6200 xats iiCrazyBoyii - 5500 xats xRavennn - 2250 xats Cooolingman - 2000 xats Karen - 2000 xats NenoMihajlovic - 1500 xats iNeverforgive - 1000 xats Chat promo - 200 xats Total xats spent: 20650 xats It also occurred to me that during the final game, some cycles may be "broken" "repeating" and "never ending." For this reason, on the final game where the game lasts down to 1 player, I will occasionally give hints on how to make a complete cycle. This will eliminate the cards in play from the game, and with less cards, the game will end quicker. It also helps to use the spreadsheet linked by the bot, which players can use kind of as a cheat sheet. It will show by color the cards that are available in the game, and cards that are eliminated as the result of a complete cycle, as cards are only seen once per game. This is especially useful in the final game, particularly towards the end. Hope to see you at next week's event, and I will be open to test runs when I am online in the chat and ready. Take care! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members HelperNate Posted August 21, 2021 Author Advanced Members Share Posted August 21, 2021 The second session is 3/4 complete! 3 out of 4 games were complete, but because I used up my energy to host this event, I was not able to host to completion. Next week same day and same time as when Session 2 started will be the final game of "to the death" where all players except 1 will clear their cards, and will have a chance to win some xats. Time is listed above on the initial post. Final results will also be announced here after the final game is complete. Thanks for playing and hope to see you at the final game! For those that are new and show up to only the continued portion of Session 2, I will do a hands-on tutorial mode like Game 1 of both sessions, and as always I will be open to test runs if I am able whenever I am online in the chat.
