Let's Spoon! (Season 2) | Winner: Sebas
Welcome to the second season of one of ATRL's biggest new games -- Let's Spoon!
Beyond the cheesy title, this game plans to be action-packed, fast-paced, dramatic, and exciting. It will test your speed, activity, reflexes, and possibly alliances/trust.
Has anyone ever played the card game Spoons? That is what this game is based on.
 Read this first!
In the traditional game of Spoons, you have players sitting around a table. In the middle of the table, spread out, are spoons -- there is one less spoon than there are players. Multiple decks of playing cards are shuffled and given to one of the players. This player deals 4 cards to each of the players, and then begins the round by going through the rest of the deck, one card at a time. This first player can choose to keep the card from the deck, thus discarding one of his other 4 cards. He can also choose to not take this card, and pass it quickly to the next person on the table, who in turn passes it to the next person if he doesn't want it, and so on, and so forth. The players do this as fast as possible, and it keeps going and going and going.
The game's intensity picks up as the cards start flying. Basically, the goal of the game is to be the first person at the table to get 4 cards of the same kind. Four aces, four kings, four sevens, etc. However, there is a second element that makes this game so intense. When somebody gets 4 cards of the same kind, they grab one of the spoons in the middle of the table. As soon as this happens, all of the other players must IMMEDIATELY grab a spoon as well. There will be one person who is not quick enough, and this person will not get a spoon. Thus, they will be eliminated from the game. This continues, round after round, until only 2 remain; then, there is a final face off.
THE GAME
This card game will be converted into an ATRL game! The overall concept is simple: I will give you diverse challenges to complete in. The first person to achieve the set goal of the challenge will be guaranteed a spot in the next round. This person will get the go ahead from me to post the word "SPOON" in the thread. (Pictures or other creative representations of the word "spoon" are acceptable, as well.)
As soon as this first person posts "SPOON" in the thread, all of the other players must stop attempting the challenge. They must post the word "SPOON" in the thread, or an image, or other version of the word. It's easiest to just post the word at this point. It is the only way to save themselves. Similar to musical chairs, there will be one less "SPOON" than there are players in the round, and the last player remaining without a "SPOON" will be eliminated. If more than one player does not post "SPOON" before the next challenge, all of them will be eliminated or there will be a vote from the contestant who won the challenge.
This game will require you to be an active player! If you don't post often, there is a good chance that you will get eliminated in an early round.  I will make an official schedule of all of the rounds, once I see how many players there will be in the game. The plan is for the challenges to be posted at 9 PM EST. This time worked out well in the first season. If there are many issues with this time, then we can work to mutually agree on a better time.
The challenges will be LIVE, because remember, you want to be the first person to complete the challenge. You will want to be aware of what is happening in the thread during this challenge period, because it could become a "SPOON" war very quickly. Players who are a little slower/in a bad time zone will have until the next challenge (24 hours later) to post in the thread. However, there is a high possibility that all the spoons will be taken within an hour or two of the challenge being posted.
ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT EDIT POSTS! YOU MUST POST IN A NEW POST TO SAVE YOURSELF.
RULE CLARIFICATION: Any GIF or image of a spoon or spoons will be accepted as an appropriate alternative to posting the word "SPOON" in the thread. If you post an image or GIF of a spoon, you will ensure your safety in the same way as someone who posts just the word. Thanks.
TWIST!
This season, I will be adding a twist to the game: the Secret Spoon of Safety, which is somewhat similar to a Hidden Immunity Idol in Survivor. At random intervals in the competition, I will post a random trivia question in the thread, relating to my favorite musician, Ellie Goulding. When this question pops up, you must private message me the correct answer. If you are the first to answer correctly, you will be awarded the Secret Spoon of Safety. This special reward can be used at any round in the competition up to and including the final 6 round. Basically, if you know that you are going to be unavailable one night, and fear that you will be eliminated, you can use your Secret Spoon of Safety in order to give yourself immunity for that round. The Secret Spoon of Safety must be played before the challenge begins, by posting in the thread: "I would like to use my Secret Spoon of Safety during tonight's round." Please also post the image found below, when you want to use it.
Schedule!
Schedule:
Every round will begin at 9 PM EST of the day listed below, unless I say something differently in the thread. I would definitely try to know in the back of your head what time in your timezone corresponds to 9 PM EST.
Check this link (NYC time) to see what time it is in my time zone. When it approaches 9 PM, get in the thread: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/new-york
Here is a time zone converter: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
