Pyramids 2.0: by kirogum

Pyramids 2.0: a game with punishments that accrue the farther down the pyramid you go, and with multiple punishments on each step. In practice, this will be very similar to the original Pyramids game, but hopefully much simpler. Instead of spinners, we'll use a random selector website which will magically slot players their proper steps on the Pyramid.

The Pyramid has 5 steps, from 'A' at the top to 'E' at the bottom. The player ending up in 'A' will be staying clean. Each step down in the Pyramid, you do the forfeits on your step as well as everything above you. Players join the game by filling in the bottom-most 2 lines on the Pyramid that are not yet filled with their username and specific punishments. Copy/paste the prior punishments from other players already in the current round and include them with your 2 new ones. Players should work their way up from E to A.

Position Number of Forfeits
A 0
B 1
C 2
D 3
E 4

In your post, try to stick to this format for each line:
LETTER: forfeit

As an example, if PieMan is the first player, his post could start a round like this:
E: Flour yourself
E: Crack a dozen eggs on your head

Then, if GungeGirl is the following player, her post could look like this:
E: Flour yourself
E: Crack a dozen eggs on your head
E: A Player selects any forfeit from the prior Pyramid round to give to you
E: Slime yourself

View other dare games in this forum for inspiration and get creative. Just be careful not to go overboard; including multiple penalties in a single line can make it difficult for a player to complete all their forfeits. Keep in mind that, at this point, you're just adding forfeits by filling in the Pyramid. Who has to do what forfeits gets decided after we have 5 players.

After the 5th player has posted their forfeits, that person needs to post a link from:

https://play-link.com/random/

On the play-link site, the last player populates these options:
- Cards for 'Type of Draw'
- 5 for the 'Number' under Detail,
- Enters 60 in 'Select draw time.

The 5th player will get a link to share from play-link. That player needs to share this link in the game thread, either by including it in their post or simply by a follow-up post. Note that the timestamp in the UMD post needs to be prior to the timestamp in the completed play-link post; this means you're truly joining the game blind with no knowledge of what the results will be.

After 60 minutes has elapsed, the link will show the draw results: 5 random card draws. The order of the cards drawn corresponds to the order in which the players joined the round. The numbers on the card determine the players' sequence on the pyramid. In case of a numerical tie, the suits on the card determine sequence, same as in bridge: spades > hearts > diamonds > clubs

So, using this link www.play-link.com/random?id=2R380094001 as an example, let's say these players have joined a round in this order:

1) PieMan 9 Hearts
2) GungeGirl 8 Spades
3) MudKing 6 Spades
4) Slimey 6 Clubs
5) Ted 9 Diamonds

The Pyramid would then be arranged like this:

A) PieMan
B) Ted (both PieMan and Ted drew a 9, but Hearts beats Diamonds)
C) Gungegirl (8 is less than both 9s)
D) MudKing (only drew a 6)
E) Slimey (tied with a 6 but Clubs loses to Spades)

After 60 minutes have passed, any player can then interpret the results and post them. The E player has 24 hours to decide whether to try a special draw. It's risky but could pay off. If proceeding with the special draw, the E player populates these options on the play-link site:
- Cards for 'Type of Draw'
- 1 for the 'Number' under Detail,
- Enters 60 in 'Select draw time.

Keep in mind we need to see the UMD post with the link prior to whatever timestamp shows up on the play-link page. Refer to the below table with the final results:

2: Pyramid flips
3: E player can ignore 1 forfeit; if 3 of Spades, E can ignore all forfeits (other players keep theirs)
4-6: no change
7: A player adds one forfeit
8: A & B players add 1 forfeit
9: A, B, & C players add 1 forfeit
10: A, B, C and D players add 1 forfeit
J: E & A swap; if Jack of Spades, new A player adds one forfeit
Q: E & B swap, if Queen of Spades, A player doubles one forfeit
K: E & C swap, if King of Spades, A player triples one forfeit
A: E & D swap, if Ace of Spades, new E player (and only E player) ignores forfeits from 1 step of Pyramid, his choice

After the E player's decision (or lack of one), other players with forfeits to detail have a 24 hour window to post. Keep in mind that if you have the option to add a forfeit, you must specify at which level of the Pyramid the forfeit is placed. This affects the player on that step as well as all players below that step.
