Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been two weeks 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
For the game of this weekend, we’ll be playing….
Conspiracy Theories
Conspiracy Theories is a game that allows friends to share and discuss various conspiracy theories that they have heard of. The game can be played with any number of players, and it's a great way to spark interesting conversations and debates.
To start the game, each player takes turns sharing a conspiracy theory that they have heard of. The theory can be about anything, from government cover-ups to alien invasions (I personally love the alien theories hehe), to secret societies. After sharing the theory, the player can provide some background information or evidence to support their claim.
Once a theory has been presented, the other players can ask questions or provide counter-arguments. The goal of the game is not to convince others that the theory is true, but rather to engage in a fun and thought-provoking discussion.
So pack all of those conspiracy theories you’ve been reserving your comments on share them with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Games.
As always, please bold your contributions to the game to separate it from in-game chat, guys. I anticipate there’ll be a lot of in-game chat this weekend, so I’ll be allowing a lot of time for each person’s turn.
We’re not going to be pairing two people for this game like we normally do. The details of how the game play will look will be in the game post which I’ll be putting out within the next hour.
The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules
I’ll create a giveaway in the city games room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have only one winner. This will give that one winner enough time to tell us a conspiracy theory they’ve heard, whether or not they support it, and why they think what they think.
The winner of the giveaways will have 6 minutes starting from when the bot chose them to tells us their unpopular opinion and explain why they think what they think. I’ll be really time sensitive and will skip your round if you fail to present your unpopular opinion within the given timeframe.
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
- Bring all the paranoia and conspiracy theories!
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 progresses, 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 behinds 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. 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!!!
