There are three optional modes of forfeits for this game, Mess (of course!), Stripping and Other punishments...this may be a read, but I hope you will find it worthwhile and would love to know if anyone plays this
First...some chess basics.
Pieces are worth different points in the proper game: Pawn = 1 Knights/Bishops = 3 Rooks = 5 Queen = 8
So penalties should reflect that.
We also have other moves that can be considered:
Castling En Pass En Check Check Mate Stale Mate
Mess: Here my suggestion is to have a messy action for each piece taken.
Pawns: Something basic like an egg, small yogurt pot, ladle of custard...whatever your preference would be Bishops/Knights: This would need to take things up a notch...So maybe a large yoghurt pot, carton of custard, can of beans Rooks: For this I would say a big pie, or a cake to sit on, maybe even a trifle Queen: This should be big, like a bucket worth of mess...Custard or ideally gunge King/Check Mate: This should be a final spectacular forfeit predetermined by the players! Stale mate: Both players would take the final forfeit
Stripping:
Now...there are just too many pieces to make it 1 piece taken for each article of clothing removed, but there are options...
Option 1: number of pieces taken = a strip, so for example every 3 pieces you lose mean you take an item of clothing off, but this means you would have to lose every piece basically to get naked...so you may want to switch it to 2 pieces if you want to be stripped more quickly
Option 2: Points. Considering the points value of the pieces (as listed above), you can in total earn 38 points (not counting the King) You could assign points values to clothing, which could be traded for points
Of course you could lower/increase the number of points depending on how quickly you want players to get naked.
If we are keeping it an even number of clothes between players, Men would have a top over their T-shirt, while women would have the bra and T-shirt
Other Forfeits:
So this bit is more personal and may require some extra planning/coordination before the game depending on how you want to play...
The idea would be to have extra penalties in addition to mess when pieces are taken...
For Example: Wedgies Ice Spanking Body Writing Water Balloons Nipple squeezing whatever punishments that the other player is okay to do (remember to respect peoples limits in this regard!)
How these forfeits are dished out...well again there are options:
1. Assign specific forfeits to pieces, as with the mess 2. Give each forfeit a number and do a random dice roll 3. Add forfeits to a wheel and spin for it 4. Just choose whichever forfeit you like for your opponent 5. Include the other activities such as castling for additional forfeits
But whatever you choose, I always think having a list of forfeits before a game is best: 1. To make the flow of the game faster 2. To establish that any forfeits are okay for your opponent to do
Of course all the above are suggestions, if people have ideas of their own for a game like this I welcome you to post them below for the benefit of all.
I have played something like this before...just not with mess and I can tell you it was a lot of fun!
Of course playing on cam is always best if doing this online.
