Race Wars (forum game)

[Rythal]

Introduction

So quite some time ago, on an online game called Tribal Wars, I was introduced to a very awesome forum game, designed to pass the time. Race Wars, it was called, is a basic game involving numerous fantasy races. The goal is to raise your favoured race’s points by taking points from the other races. You may only move one point per post, and NO DOUBLE POSTING. There is no need to stay with one race the entire game, but don’t be a jerk by going back and forth, keeping the points at a standstill. It is doubtful that the game will actually ever end, but any race that gets eliminated is one less to worry about.

Score keeping

The points are tracked by the table below:
Human: 21
Elves: 24
Barbarians: 23
Dwarves: 29
Dragons: 30
Undead: 27
Halflings: 25
Giants: 24
Orks: 19
Drow: 25
Kobolds: 5

Note: with school, family, and other activities, I will only be able to update this table periodically. please refer to the last poster instead for accurate standings.

The Golden Rules

• No more adding races.

•ONLY TRANSFER 1 POINT PER POST!

• When posting, include the race you stole points from, and the race you gave the points to.
Example
Elves: +1
Dwarves:-1

• Please copy and paste the table from the previous poster into your post with the updated scores included.
Example
Human: 25
Elves: 26
Barbarians: 25
Dwarves: 24
Dragons: 25
Undead: 25
Halflings: 25
Giants: 25
Orks: 25
Drow (evil elves): 25

If a race reaches 0, it is then eliminated

• One may also, if they so choose, to include a role playing story along with the post. Please try to keep it relatively short; within 2 or 3 paragraphs. This makes the game a bit more interesting than just some numbers, and as I know many of you are writers, some short story telling won’t be that hard, I’m sure.

So, with the points reset at 25 for all the races, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
