Hello and welcome to trope runner. This is a short competition that will test your ability to make a game that is flexible enaugh to incorporate anything. During the competition you will get new things that you will have to implement into your game. Everyone will get something else to implement, which will make the things more interesting. Will you be able to make a game flexible enaugh to implement everything?


 

When does this start how long does it last?

The signups start today. The competition itself starts when enaugh people join, but it will definitely be on weekend. Due to how this works, people will have to sign up before the competition starts because I will have to know the exact amount of people entering. It will last for 3 weeks, no more, no less. Afer the competition is over, judges will have a few days to decide which game wins.

How does this work?

When the competition starts each entrant gets a single word. That will be the theme of your game. The next day each entrant will get a link to a tvtropes trope, and will recieve 1 trope link and 1 word every two days until the end of the second week of the competition. That means everyone will recieve 6 words and 7 tropes, not counting the theme. Theentrants will have to include them into their game. It is not necesary to include every trope and word into your game, but it will affect your game's overall score. That means, if you get the word "comb", it is better to include a minor lame comb based enemy than not to.

Prizes and winners?
 

There are no prizes, this is only for fun. There will only be the first place, and the other games will not be arranged in any particular order. (This is subject to change, though.)

Judging?

I will need 2 more judges if this gets enaugh entrants, but I will likely do the judging myself. The judges will not be allowed to participate so they can be pbjective when judging. Your game will be judged based on: How fun the gameplay is, how polished the game is (Is it glitchy? How good are the graphics, sounds, music?), how fun the gameplay is and how sucesfully everything was implemented (And did it feel forced or fit well into the game. It will require a bit of thinking to incorporate pizza in a game with some serious theme and make it fit in.) It also matters whether you included everything or not, but sometimes it is better not to include everything if you can't make it fit in.

This is a topic basedo on another topic from YYGF. It is about jokes that fail in translation from another language to English. So yeah, let's post jokes that loose their punchline in translation.

I'l start.

Here, have a fractal.

This a version of forum mafia which is special because of how every round is different. Some rounds may be basic setups, while others may involve interesting additional game mechanics, events and such. Basically, it is a version of forum mafia which changes a lot. Some of the game mechanics may be that players change the roles every night, setups may be (openly)bastard. Sometimes a setup may be just strange or include interesting roles. But what makes this game special is that is not limited to a single style of play. That means, one round you can have a planecrash mafia styled game, other round you can have some random crazy setup and than a classic setup after that.

First round is going to be a classic open vanilla setup, nothing extraordinary, just for casual mafia players because this forum currently lacks an active classic version of mafia.

Here are the rules, shamelessly ripped from my previous post in which I was the first one here to shamelessly rip it from ELECTROMAN.

How to play this, man?
