Let's Spoon (Season 1) | Winner: dimitrius
Welcome to my second game on ATRL, 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. As soon as this first person posts "SPOON," all of the other players must stop attempting the challenge. They must post the word "SPOON" in the thread. It is the only way to save themselves. There will be one less "SPOON" than players, 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 other contestants.
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. At this moment, it looks like I will be able to post the challenges around 9 PM EST every night. 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 of the challenge being posted.
RULE CLARIFICATION: As has been practiced since round one, 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.
Theme song!
