SAPPHIRE

[dramatispersonae]

Your tents are fairly empty, with only a ticker for keeping track of points, and a large, colorful wheel standing upright in the middle:



You instinctively know the rules of the game:

• Each turn you can spin the wheel.
  
• If you spin and land on a number, that number of random tasks will come up. For each task you complete you get a point. Only one person from your team needs to do each task, and it can be whoever you want. One person can do all of them or you can split it up.
  
• Your points from each turn will accumulate.
  
• However, if you spin and land on X, you lose all the points you've earned so far.
  
• You can stop and "hold" whenever you want - either by declining to spin or declining to complete all your tasks. If you do this, your current number of points will be your final score, and you will head to endgame.
  
• If you land on X and bust you can try again, you'll just be starting from 0 points next turn.
  
• There's a hard limit of ten turns and four hours, if you don't decide to hold before then. There will be no 11th turns or spins after 11:30pm PST under any circumstances.

OOC notes:

• Go ahead and discuss directly under each turn comment. When you spin make a new comment under it labeled SPIN. You can do your tasks under the turn comment too.
  
• However, you don't have to do your tasks only with your team! Your tents are open to the outside, so you can wander out to the public task area at will. You can't go into other team's tents, but you can sure yell at them to come out from outside if you want.
  
• Ping Butterfly on IRC whenever you spin your wheel, if you decide to hold, or if you do not complete all your tasks. Otherwise I will assume you do all of them. Honor system here.
  
• On a similar note, you ICly need to get all your tasks done before you can spin again, but if you OOCly want to overlap a bit in playing things out to keep things moving along at a brisk pace please feel free.
  
• Winners will be mostly the teams with the highest scores at the end, but there will be a couple of winners based on other criteria as well!

SPIN.

It looks like someone's gotten you started already. The wheel is spinning gently in the wind as you walk in.

The wheel lands on 3. The following tasks are displayed:

tell someone about someone you find attractive
