steve said: Has anyone ever played a game with live penalties? It would be fun to play with hitting with something small, like one egg smash for a hit, something larger for sinking a boat, larger still for losing the game (maybe even escalate for 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5) But then what happens if you have a lucky day, you've won, but you're sitting there with all that mess prepared?
That's what I'd want from a messy battleships game. You could even have a predefined item for each ship, with smaller big things for small ships (tin of beans?), ranging through stuff like cartons of custard and a big tub of porridge for the biggest ship.
Losing gets you a big tub of all the slops.
I think you'd just have to accept that you could have a lucky day and have loads of leftovers. I'm sure some use could be found.
Fooled around and played 2 out of 3 against Dassault and lost handily and then spent a couple minutes under a cold shower in the clothes I was wearing.
Here's an idea. How about a game where the loser gets messy with items determined by how many ships the winner has left? Each ship represents a specific item, and if you didn't manage to destroy it it's going to end up on you.
Here's what I had in mind for me:
Carrier (5) Big bowl of porridge Battleship (4) Big bowl of chocolate cake batter Cruiser (3) 1kg Carton of custard Sub (3) Sit on a cake Destroyer (2) Pie in the face
You can use the same, or choose your own list.
If you're feeling brave you could go for a best of three, where the loser has to get messy with the remaining items from both their losing games. You can either use two lists, or double up on the first. I'm going with two, so here's my round 2 list:
Carrier (5) Big bowl of vanilla cake batter Battleship (4) Trifle Cruiser (3) Chocolate sauce Sub (3) More custard (I like custard ) Destroyer (2) Tin of rice pudding
I'm waiting in a game right now, and if you're quick I might actually be able to post up my forfeit today. Unless I win of course, then it's over to you. Click below to join me.
If I'm online at the weekend I will play for a messy item per ship or square (challengers choice) remaining at the end of each round.
Best of X rounds (challengers choice), but with a catch - we'll play all rounds regardless so the overall winner might still something messy to do, however if someone does lose all rounds then they get an extra forfeit of the winners choice.
Open to extra accumulators or side bets
Message me what you want to play for and a link to play
As someone asked, you can assume I'm still open for games on any weekend if I'm around. Can be messy bets (see above or propose something different) or games related forfeits

So I did play this with someone a few days ago, with the extra twist that losing two games in a row meant you had to use all ten of your items.
I lost the first game, and it looked like I was about to lose the second too only for my luck to completely reverse with the biggest comeback ever. Then I won the third, and my opponent is going to be getting very messy indeed.

Although they were all down to a single ship, having just lost 3 rounds of this back to back, then my forfeit is that for any games tonight (approx 4-5 hours) I have to tell you the location of 2 ships of your choice before we start
I lost to Magicwam35 in Battleships & was supposed to do a clothed pie sandwich after filling my underwear w/ shaving cream but didn't get it done because I did not HAVE shave cream so I offered to a clothed cold shower as a penance until I get out today and get more cans of shave cream. Here is the cold clothed shower pics.
After losing just now, for the next 4 hours I must accept any unfair bets for either mess or other threads I am sent.
Unfair means either we play for the same forfeit but I must provide you the location of 2 ships of your choice at the start of any game, or I face worse consequences for me losing than you do.
After admitting that no-one challenged me last time, I've been persuaded that I should offer people another 4 hours of this one
