Let's Spoon! (Season 4) | Winner: Remmy
Welcome to the fourth season of one of ATRL's biggest games -- Let's Spoon!
THE 2ND ANNUAL ATRL GAMES AWARDS
THREE-TIME WINNER
Best Tournament
Best New Game
Best Overall Game
Thank you all for your support!
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? This tournament is based on that card game.  Here is a description of the card game! Check it out.
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 rounds will begin every night (except Saturdays) at 9 PM Eastern Time. This season, there will be NO ROTATING TIMES. This is necessary, in my opinion, to keep the game more organized. My apologies to those for which this is a bad 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.
TWIST!!!
The Poisoned Spoon
This season, the Secret Spoons of Safety are gone. In their place is something not so safe... The Poisoned Spoon. Each round, one spoon will be poisoned. A number will be selected randomly, and this will correspond to the order in which the spoons are grabbed. If you grab the randomly selected Poisoned Spoon, you will lose one life. If you grab three Poisoned Spoons throughout the competition, you will be automatically eliminated.
So for example, the randomized number is 7. Element is the 7th person to grab a spoon in this round (this includes the winner of the challenge as the 1st spoon). Element loses one life, and is now two away from automatic elimination.
PAST SEASONS!
SIGN-UPS!
Sign-ups will close in a little less than three days -- at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, May 16, 2015. The first challenge will be held at 9 PM ET on Sunday, May 17, 2015.
