Peridot

[dramatispersonae]

[ When you enter the forest, you find yourself transported to the top of a….tower? But the tower seems to be made of platforms, three candy blocks across, and about ten platforms high. All of the other teams’ towers are visible to you, currently, they look exactly the same.

There are no handrails or edges, and if you peer over the side, you can see that your tower is standing in a lake made of jello. . . ]

[ In the center of your platform, there are three objects floating in midair: a ball of jelly yarn, a piece of pie, and a jawbreaker. If you can’t see, you instinctually know they are there. ]

RULES

[dramatispersonae]

- You are playing Jenga! To win this game you must outlast the other teams, either by making smart choices or by sabotaging others using the items provided to you. There is also one secret win condition, so think creatively and outlast well.
- Each turn, you must pull a block from your own tower. The goal is to not tip the tower over. If you haven’t played Jenga before, helpful hints can be found in the spreadsheet HERE. You can ICly see how well other teams are doing. You can’t see who is on top of the platform or what special items they’re using.
- The three items in the middle of your platform are there to help you hurt other towers. Eat one, and you may cast a status effect on your choice of two teams.

When your platform falls, you fall into jello. No harm will be had to you, but you’ll be pretty sticky. :) The game is over when you fall!

Well, this is... unique.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

Is that made of what I think it's made of?

Re: Discussion

[courageously]

...I've never seen anything like this.

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

I have no idea. What do you think it's made of?

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

Neither have I.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

Jello.

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

Never heard of it.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

It's a kind of snack. Fruit and gelatin.

[courageously]

...So we just move the pieces? [|b]

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

Not traditionally used to fill pools?

[theliesof]

And decide if we want to target other teams for a little more chaos.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

Only in porn? Or so I've heard. And that's not a discussion we're having right now.

[courageously]

Do we have to? [|b] It doesn't seem exactly right... but I guess other will be trying, too...

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

No, that can probably wait until later.

[theliesof]

We won't be hurting them. But we won't win if we don't compete.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

So, two questions: is there any down sides to only taking off our own top blocks? And do we just poke other teams blindly, without knowing what those things [gesturing at the items] do?

[courageously]

It says we can, not that we have to. How do we know they won't get hurt?

[fourleafwords]

We can ask the Persona. Sometimes they won't answer, but we can try.

Hey, Persona- I have no idea who this is- can anyone get hurt in this game?

Re: Discussion

[theliesof]

I think the blocks we pick go on top of the tower, so we can't only pick from the top for long.

Not sure about the other question.

Re: Discussion

[fourleafwords]

So, if we pick from the top right now, they just get put back where they came from?

[theliesof]

It's a mood thing. When the Personas are going to let us get skewered, they usually find a way to let us know it. But everything's bright and cheerful here.
