Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been two weeks since our last game, and that means we’ll be playing again this weekend. I’m sure everyone is excited in anticipation about the weekend’s game.

This Hive announcement to provide all the details of the game and answer some of the questions I was asked about the games. In this way, the Hive post will serve as a reference for new players who just found out about the game on Hive to refer to in order to understand the game. But we’ll still put the announcement on our City Discord too in #citygames for citizens who don’t want to check it out here on Hive. Announcements will always be posted on the city discord first so citizens have a first peek of the new game for the week.

I had thought of announcing it only in the city discord, but if I did that, the questions we answer will get lost up in chat (because the city chat is soooo busy) and new people who join the games from Hive or even new citizens will always keep asking the same questions to understand the games as well. So putting it here on Hive leaves a permanent reference to the gameplay guide and rules for everyone forever.

And Now The Reveal Of This Weekend’s Game

For the game of this weekend, we’ll be playing….

The Emoji Game

This game basically involves using combinations of emojis to represent things. For our game this week, we’ll be focusing on using emojis to spell country names or represent them. For instance, 🐳+s represents the country, Wales. See? Easy. This might be the simplest game we’ve ever played. The point is to have fun with even little things.

The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules

• I’ll create a giveaway in the city games room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have two winners. Everyone can enter the giveaway but only the 2 selected winners get to play.

• Player A presents person B his emoji combinations to decipher the country it represents. Then it’s B’s turn to present his emoji combinations to A too, and the next giveaway starts.

• The total gameplay time will be 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours (or more, but hopefully not as it’ll get stressful) if the turn up is great and we still have many citizens who haven’t played.

• Mr Dragon🐲 will play with us once a while when he has some time to spare, to grace the occasion(I doubt that’ll happen often or at all though so no promises)

Gameplay Rules

As always…

1. Have fun
2. Have fun
3. Be creative and interesting

For now these are pretty much all the rules. Be a human being and have fun, basically. Lol. I’m trying to keep it as simple as it can be to keep it fun. But we certainly need rules or else people will go overboard. Like I already said, as the weeks progresses, there’ll be tweaks to the rules and we’ll have different games every week(hopefully). If we want this to keep going though, the turnouts will have to be encouraging and participation should be good too.

It’s important to note though that the game is not just for people already in the Neoxian city. You can join us today and play with us this weekend!

Hive is so full of articles but people don’t really know what we look like offline. Our personalities and the stories behinds our lives. Come play with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Discord to have an off-chain interaction with some of the Hivers you already might know and find out more about them! Don’t miss it this Sunday!

This is a real time countdown to the game time. I’m working on a way to include people from all over the world in our games, so it is very likely that our game time will change in the next game.

Please ask me questions if you don’t understand anything. If you have any concerns about any of the rules, please let me know too so we can review them before game time. You can tag and mention others I missed to mention in this post so they don’t miss out as well. A reblog and upvote will be appreciated too. Head over to the Neoxian City Discord on Sunday and let’s have some fun!!!

Sorry about the tag, guys. If you’d like me to stop tagging you in the next game night publications, please let me know on the comments and I will. If I missed your username in the tag and you’d like me to tag you next time, please do let me know too.

My very good friend @ nathen007 gifted me some 5000 Ecency points a few weeks back and I'll be using that to sponsor this week's game. There's no specific number of rounds we'll play, but I'll be rewarding 200 points for each round, split among the two winners. If only one person wins, they only get the 100 out of the 200 Ecency points.
