Rules for Reality Games

 


Rules for Reality Games

We hold these Reality Game truths to be self-evident, that similar game mistakes are created equal across competitions, that they are endowed by their creator to cause certain unalienable damages, that among those damages are misunderstandings and drama which can lead to the end of a player’s game. To prevent these mistakes, Rules shall be set forth to guide the players.  The rules are as follows:

  1. STFU:  When a player has an advantage, or a secret power they shall keep that knowledge to themselves. Sharing it to "gain trust" with another player will result in that player sharing it with others...for the same reason!
  2. Trust, but verify:  When a player is told information counter to that players knowledge, trust the source but verify its truth with other players.
  3. Play to win:  Mid-to-late game opportunities to dismiss a stronger player shall not be passed up, even if allied with that player.  There’s only one winner.
  4. Know your audience:  When sharing information, a player shall consider the recipient with whom they share it, with whom the recipient is allied and how the information can be used against the player.
  5. Open your eyes: If a player is convinced someone is allied with them, consider how that ally might work against them and plan accordingly.
  6. When your enemy is making a mistake, let them:  When someone does something obviously destructive to their game, don't get in the way. Every step is a step closer to winning.
  7. Always say yes: If approached to join an Alliance, Final Three, Final Two, say yes. Saying no is like saying "Please target me!".  Say yes, and then do whatever you want.
