Eightball
Play
Setup - One Freewriter is asked to include the words "Eightball" somewhere in their blog along with either "Side Pocket" or "Corner Pocket." A second Freewriter is asked to include the pocket either "Side Pocket" or "Corner Pocket" that was selected for the game in their blog for that day's prompt. Other blogging members may be asked to include the name of the wrong pocket in their blogs.
Object - Contestants must search for the "Eightball" and the pocket that it needs to go in. then they must upvote that members post and make a reply without using the words "Eightball" or "Pocket" or anything else that would give clues to other searchers. Now they must find the correct pocket to place the eightball in. When they find the blog with the correct pocket they must upvote that post and form a reply that mentions the member where they found the eightball. Once you have put the eightball in the proper pocket return to the daily prompt post and reply with the eightball graphic above so that it can be checked for accuracy. If everything was completed correctly your name will be included in the list of winners who will share the reward. No indication will be given as to whether the answer is correct or incorrect until the end of the contest.
Suggested prize reward: 0.8 SBD split between correct submissions 🙂
Rules
- Upvote and reply to the selected bloggers having the eightball or correct pocket in their blog.
- Those selected to have the eightball or side pocket are not eligible to play that round. Those who include an incorrect pocket in their blog are eligible.
- The correct name of the blogger posting the eightball must be mentioned in a reply to the blogger posting the correct pocket.
- The eightball graphic must be posted in a reply to the daily prompt.
Strategy - To keep other searchers from following your trail you might want to upvote and reply to various bloggers mentioning random freewriters lol. The fewer people getting the correct combination the greater the reward.
The "Eightball" graphic is free open source and no credit is required.
I like this idea!
Great idea!!! Only the required upvote is against the rules... I know a lot of people do it. but we can suggest to upvote instead of making it mandatory.
