Rules for Game 66
1. Sign-ups are open today. You may still sign up after the game starts (if you want to play catch up). The first call will take place on Monday, 25 November 2024.
2. You must be a TSC member in good standing, with at least 1 meaningful post.
3. Spirited banter is highly encouraged, but please be a gentleman/lady in all interactions.
4. Calls will NOT be The Standard American Bingo Hall calls. The calls will be words or phrases, derived from human anatomy. The Call-List will not be published.
5. There will be 5 calls per day (based on Eastern Time Zone) unless otherwise noted (Weekends included). The calls will be found in one of EMG06 posts/activities for the given day, anywhere within the TSC Forum.
6. The calls can occur in a variety of ways:
- Plain Text calls, typed directly or hidden within a post.
- Photo, Video, numeric, code, alternate Languages, or graphic representation of calls may be employed.
- Commonly used medical abbreviations may be used (for examples: Anterior Cruciate Ligament = ACL; or Common Bile Duct = CBD)
- Calls may be encoded or hidden in puzzles, requiring the player to decode or solve to determine the actual call. (If at any point you are stumped you may contact the caller or another player by PM for help).
- Additional tips/tricks/hints can be found in the following thread: (BINGO SECRETS REVEALED)
7. Bingo cards: Each player will receive 1 Bingo Card, which will be sent via PM by 24 November. You may print out your cards, or keep it digital. As calls are received mark them on your card.
8. To win, you will need to see the Skull (See below for winning pattern). Once you believe you have a bingo you must type "TSC BINGO" in this thread. The first person to call TSC BINGO wins the game (There are no ties). Then you must submit a photo of your card in this thread, for verification by the caller, before it is official. If it is not a good Bingo, play will resume.
9. The winner of this game will receive the following:
- The highly coveted Bingo Wizard Badge and bragging rights!
- The honor of being the caller of the next Bingo game (to be started within 4 weeks of winning--no bogarting the badge!).
- An additional prize may be offered at the discretion of the caller (callers are not required to offer a prize)
10. Recaps of calls will be provided, at or around the one week point, and every week thereafter, unless the nature of the game makes recaps redundant or irrelevant.
11. These rules must be posted by the caller before each game, edited for the specifics of their game.
12. If you have any questions, or if any rule needs clarification, let the caller know. The caller has the final say in any questions, disputes, or clarifications regarding calls/rules.
13. Have Fun! Or, Go Crazy! But..... Why Not Both??
