HOW TO PLAY:
RRRRRUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRUUUUSSS
Claims
-Each user is allotted a minimum of three(3) characters.
-And can get an additional one for either:
Every two(2) years that the user has been part of the forums,
or
Every 500 posts,
for a maximum of five(5) total claims.
-Any established fictional character from any published work is claimable. Anime, Videogames, Comics, Manga, Hentai, Webcomics, Books, etc. If you can buy it, you can claim a character from it.
e.g. Emily the Strange, is- indeed- claimable. Even though she's naught but a mascot- she is of published and purchasable material and is an established character.
-Multiple incarnations of the same character, however, cannot be claimed separately. Timelines, alternate dimensions, cloning- whatever the cause- they all count as a singular character.
e.g. Urashibara Ruka, although appearing as both a girl and a
trap, cannot be claimed twice.
-Claims are to be made by stating the full name of the character, true/alternate identity if they have one*, and the full name of the series from whence they came.
*Exception to series within their debut season.
-Side/minor characters can be claimed, provided they,
have a name
and/or
show up at least three(3) times throughout the series
e.g. Himeko Tachibana, although having only one spoken line throughout both seasons of K-ON, is a named character.
-Real people can't be claimed. That includes other users, celebrities, supermodels, and people who
don't even look real.
Reclaims
-During Rounds 4 and 5, the first six(6) people in each respective round are eligible for a Reclaim during the Summer 2016 game.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
At every game, all your claims are reset, meaning you must begin anew.
However- should you be one of the lucky few to get a Reclaim, you get to keep one of your characters; carry one over from the previous game.
-This must amount to a total of twelve(12)
different users.
So, although you may be among the first six in both rounds, you cannot get two Reclaims. That Reclaim spot will instead go to the next user in line.
Rounds
The rounds shall begin on the following dates.
Round 1: 23rd Dec
Round 2: 30th Dec
Round 3: 6th Jan
Round 4: 20th Jan
Round 5: 3rd Feb
All rounds shall start around 7-9 pm.
EST (GMT-5)
They begin when I announce it within the game thread itself- so keep an eye out for that.
Round 5 lasts until the next game. Summer 2017.
Divorces
-You can divorce one of your claims, should ever your affections be swayed
you heartless bastard.
-After divorcing, you cannot make another claim until full four(4) days/96 hours after you've made the divorce.
-The divorced character cannot be claimed for a full two(2) days/48 hours. To give them time to pick up the SHATTERED PIECES OF THEIR BROKEN HEART.
You monster.
-Each player has a maximum of three(3) divorces per game. Philandering knave.
Bonus Claims:
For every two(2) of your claims that are from a Hentai series(not doujin), you may get an additional claim. However, the absolute total of six(6) claims remains the same.
Important (Things that are often ignored/misunderstood)
EACH WAIFU GAME HAS THREE(3) THREADS DEDICATED TO IT; GAME, LIST, AND DISCUSSION.
-THE
GAME THREAD IS WHERE CLAIMS AND DIVORCES ARE MADE. NOTHING ELSE. NOTHING MORE.
-THE GAME
LIST THREAD IS WHERE ALL THE ALREADY CLAIMED CHARACTERS ARE LISTED. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW WHO'S ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED. SO YOU DON'T TRY TO CLAIM THEM. BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN YOURSELF WHO IS NOT YOU HAS ALREADY DONE IT BEFORE YOU DID. SO DON'T TRY.
-THE GAME
DISCUSSION(you are here) THREAD IS WHERE ALL OTHER THINGS ABOUT THE GAME ARE POSTED. YOU DO NOT POST YOUR CLAIMS/DIVORCES IN HERE. YOU POST EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS NOT A CLAIM/DIVORCE IN HERE.
-ALL CLAIM POSTS CANNOT BE EDITED WITHIN THE FIRST
SIX(6) HOURS AFTER THE START OF A ROUND. FOR ANY REASON. ANY POSTS THAT HAVE BEEN EDITED WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD WILL VOID THEIR CLAIMS. IF IN DOUBT,
MAKE A NEW POST.
