Who's The Boss
Game #1867: WTB Quidditch Tournament: Game 1
This game is moderated by intrepidus. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 4 rounds.
I am pleased to say that the highly exciting magical game of Quidditch is coming to Braingle in tournament style!
Here's how it works:
1. At the beginning of the game, each of you will be assigned to teams (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin). The Boss and Rat will be in a team as well, but disguised as a normal player. Nobody knows who the Boss and Rat are.
2. There is a storyline for each round. At the beginning of each round, I will post something about what's going on in the game. The teams will then have 2 days to discuss (within their respective talk boxes) what is going on and in which to place their vote. The teams should come to a consensus on the vote within their talk boxes and each player must place the vote that their team decided on, whether or not each player agrees. This will be monitored, and anyone that does not vote with the rest of their team will be disqualified by the referee (me).
3. There may be separate discussion in this discussion board as well; in fact, it will be strongly encouraged. This is the time in which the Boss and Rat can deceive the rest of the players.
4. In this game, the Boss is considered the Snitch. Finding him/her will end the game.
5. The teams win if they voted for the correct person. The points are as follows:
If:
A team votes for the Boss all during the game, they receive: 500 points
A team votes for the Boss about three-quarters of the game, they receive: 400 points
A team votes for the Boss about half of the game, they receive: 250 points
A team votes for the Boss about one-quarter of the game, they receive: 100 points
A team almost never votes for the Boss, they receive: 0 points
Ties are possible.
6. The team (or teams) that wins will have their points added to the Quidditch Cup totals. There are a total of four games in one season, which means that each player will have to be devoted to going throughout the whole season. If someone does not wish to continue the season, they must find a replacement player.
7. The players from each team will be able to choose which role they play. There will be five people per team: 1 Keeper, 2 Chasers, 1 Beater, and 1 Seeker. They will be able to choose these roles when they convene in their talk boxes.
8. The way the game discussion thread in here goes is it will be role-played, but it isn't that big of a deal. This is like telling a story about yourself in 3rd person. For example:
Intrepidus saw a big Bludger heading his way, and took a swipe at it with his club. The Bludger soared away over the stands and hit an innocent spectator.
So, as you can see, this is in 3rd person.
9. The teams do not have the power to decide how their actions affect the opposing team. In other words, you can choose what happens to you.
10. The role-play is just incorporated to add some fun into the game. It does not determine who wins the match.
11. Just go with the flow of the game. Even if you didn't discuss it with your team first, you can always do some improvising about what your team does. Remember, it doesn't matter about the final score.
12. Everyone in the game must post at least once per round, both in their respective team TBs and the game discussion (even though the discussion is role-playing). If you know in advance that you can't work this out, then please PM me after you join. If you don't post at all, you will run the risk of being disqualified/fired from the game.
13. To make it easier for everybody, while posting in the game discussion at all times*:
Gryffindors should post in red.
Hufflepuffs should post in orange.
Ravenclaws should post in blue.
Slytherins should post in green.
*This rule does not apply for Round 0.
This Quidditch season will take place over four separate games, with all of the same players (with the exception of players who do not wish to continue playing). The final point standings will determine the winners of this season's Quidditch World Cup!
If you have questions, feel free to PM me or post in Round 0.

Sounds weird but cool!
Shogi - or Japanese chess - is better than regular chess. You should visit 81Dojo.com to play shogi.

I am not super familiar with Harry Potter and this game, however the idea of playing a tourney with all the same players and having talkboxes outside the "game" is all very intriguing. I'm excited to see how this works out!

I really like Harry potter and quidditch ( I run the Harry Potter TB)
mathisnice, rush2, Wolf_Spirits93, MAvanzi, miniffer, morpheus25, grilledcheese, Metalizer, 4wheels and TheBrainBender are the BEST!!!!

I'm glad everyone likes the idea so far! Still 15 people to go, though...
Anyway, I think I'll just do the sorting into houses as people sign up, to ensure that it truly is completely random. I am making all of you (FatHead, persaphone, pottercrazy, scottishpearl, and TheBrainBender) Gryffindors. I have invited you all to the talk box.

It may take a bit for the game to fill up, since the players have to commit to the full tourney but the people who'll sign up for this game should be more of the die-hard players, who play constantly, I would think anyways.

Okay, two new people in Hufflepuff...
And yeah, scottishpearl. I guess it's filling up faster now, because when people see games with more players in it, they feel it worth checking out.
Gargph: I'm fine with that, but as long as you've read the books or watched the movies, that's okay. Or, you could not have read/watched any Harry Potter at all and get confused...I didn't post the Quidditch rules here, so you might have to find them out for yourself.

I've seen some of the movies, but like I said I'm not super familiar, so I'm going to take the opportunity of waiting for the game to fill to bone up on the Quidditch rules. Hope we can start playing by next week!

ive never played this game before ever and i might make my team lose
It's not a problem, FlyFishy. Your fellow teammates can help you out...
i usally dont like 2 day games but im drawn to this one
I had a signature but then I forgot it 0.o

Yeah, the only reason I made it 2 days was so that everyone got the chance to discuss well in their TBs. You just can't be sure that you'll be able to come to a consensus with just 24 hours with a game like this...
1p2a3u4l5, FlyFishy4, and jeminy: you've all been sorted into Hufflepuff!! I've invited you all to the appropriate TB.
Oh yeah, if anyone has a problem with which house you're in, or the people in your house, just send me a PM. None of the information that you send me will be disclosed to any other players.

When i am intriuged into joining, it saddens me that Gryffindor is full. As being the case i am requesting the only logic house left: Slytherin
For i am a master of the dark arts muuhhaahahahahahahahahaha

Hi everyone, this game sounds really fun and interesting!
Welcome, everyone!
Desoron, I put you in Slytherin. Keep in mind that the houses don't really mean anything, they're just to distinguish you from one another. So don't be too disappointed about not getting Gryffindor, unless you really want it, then I can work something out. Awesome picture, by the way. I put Alicat and Lover2020 both in Ravenclaw. I hope that's not a problem for anyone...
Scottishpearl, you don't have to post in your house color in round 0. Unless you want to promote ultra-team spirit...

Those who have not accepted their TB invitation, please do so soon!
I have posted a new thread in each TB. Everyone should choose which role they play (1 Keeper, 2 Chasers, 1 Beater, 1 Seeker) for role-playing purposes within the game. It doesn't really matter, this is just so that you know what you're role-playing (RP-ing) about.
I've also written the Psych Question. Now we're waiting for the Boss to answer it and write a memo as well.

Okay, nothing to do with this game although semi-on topic w/ the Quidditch theme, I just read an article on Muggle Quidditch, where someone dresses up all in gold and sometimes adorned with wings and is "released" at an undisclosed point of the game and wanders in a predecided area, attempting to evade capture by seekers from the two teams. I got a good chuckle out of the image of someone wandering around with wings on trying to hide from two other people. Apparently, Muggle Quidditch is popular on many college campuses. Isn't it funny to think of a person dressed up as the snitch, wandering around and hiding from two people trying to hunt them down? I would totally volunteer for that role!

Yeah, there was an article in USA Today a couple years ago on that. I still have the clipping on my bedroom wall. I thought it was pretty funny. I would be very entertained, either watching it or being in the game itself.
we do something similar to to this but the "Snitch" is only a picture on the back of the person's shirt and not all in gold clothes but in normal clothes. it is hard!
I like your as well ajcfantasy123.
Oh good I didn't miss the first round

Scottishpearl carefully polishes her Nimbus 2000, making sure it is in working order and ready to fly. Satisfied, she takes it for a spin around the pitch, zooming quickly back and forth between the three goals she'll defend, then settles in the stands for a quick tea before the match. She eyes her opponents nervously, not certain what kind of players they are. She is ready.
Is that what we're looking for for the role play? This could be great fun!

haha nice- my turn.. I forgot a lot about quidditch, so lemme try my best.
gargph puts on her uniform and looks out at the skies- getting ready for her first game of the year(?) She picks up a piece of chocolate from her halloween candy stash, and eats it, hoping that the energy will last her the entire game. She hears the whistle, so she gets her broom and batter club (if there is one ), and gets ready to play the game of her life.
okay that was akward...

Yeah, Gargph and Scottishpearl, those were both good, although past tense might be better.
If nobody feels like being that detailed, it doesn't matter. A quick sentence or two will be fine with me.
Also, if anybody wants to say something out of RP in the game, you can, just don't make it your color. Not a problem with me.
EDIT: Congratulations to Gryffindor for being the first TB for all members to accept! For this, I will award them 10 points. Everyone else, don't be discouraged; you've still got plenty of time to catch up!

TheBrainBender donned the Scarlet and Gold uniform, applauded his team for early points and mounted his Firebolt, getting ready and hoped to be able to catch the fleeting Golden Snitch.
mathisnice, rush2, Wolf_Spirits93, MAvanzi, miniffer, morpheus25, grilledcheese, Metalizer, 4wheels and TheBrainBender are the BEST!!!!

Okay, two people left: treasury (the boss) and claudia904 (an employee). I guess we're back to sign-ups. That leaves two open positions in Slytherin. I will implement the new 1-post-per-round rule now.

Yay, we restarted, but I am quite upset to see that once again I am not the boss...not ever the rat. You know, I've played about a million of these games and I never get to the be the boss *weeps into her pillow* I would love to be the boss just one time....ya know? Ah well, there's 3 more games in the tourney, maybe I'll finally get a turn....It has to happen some time right?

All right, new boss & rat, hopefully both are more active. I've sent out the Psych question, and the round should hopefully start soon-ish, provided that the boss doesn't walk out on us again.
hope so

With his club in one hand and his broom in the other, Pottercrazy flew out onto the pitch and in to the sun, with a few muggle balls in hand he batted them as far as he could, getting ready for the upcoming match
