Mish mash game rules

Important things to note: All large-scale, socially-based games should be announced or asked about in the Large Social Game Queue. If you are unsure as to whether a game should be part of that queue or not, PM myself or xofelf or Cephrir and one of us should get back to you shortly. Each game is permitted to have one thread in the main Mish Mash forum.

Additional threads may be created in the Frogstar World B subforum and linked to via the main thread. It is recommended that additional threads be tagged in brackets. Moderators of Mish Mash games may request the ability to create Private Topics for their games.

PM any of the Mish Mash Mods which are me, xofelf or Cephrir , which should include what the topics will be used for and why you would like to use them over other methods.

If a player has posted something against the forum rules , use the report button in the top right corner of their post. This is the fastest way to get it dealt with. In any other situation, try to resolve the issue through the game's moderator first, and PM me if you are still not satisfied. If you are modding a game and get an issue you feel you can't or don't know how to resolve, feel free to PM me about it and I will do whatever I can to help.

In this version, the person writing will tell the focus person to choose four items from a very general category, but not tell them what this applies to.

For example, they may say, "Choose four colors," but not tell the focus person whether the colors will be for their child's hair color or eye color. This makes the game have a silly side, because your child could end up with blue hair or red eyes. In another example, they may say, "Choose four numbers," but not say whether this represents your annual income or your number of children. Helpful 3 Not Helpful 0. Helpful 4 Not Helpful 1.

One specific thing that players can do is when the red cards are in play. In this case, only give one tile to each player if there are five or more playing.
