I've separated the rules and FAQs because I felt it looked a bit daunting, especially to new players. Please read the rules before playing but the FAQs are only there if you have any questions that are not covered in the rules.
If you have any questions that are not answered in the rules or FAQ then please PM me asking and I will PM you back with the answer and add it to this post.
Rules:
Aim of Game: The number starts at 500. People on the Oranges team take one away from the number in the post above. And the Apples team add one to the number.
How is it won?: If the number reaches 1000 then Apples wins, if the number reaches 0 then Oranges wins.
How do I get on a team?: Either PM (which I'm more likely to see) or post a bolded request here about which team you wish to belong to. Once you're on a team please stick to the rules and play the way that team is supposed to. If you do not PM me then I will reject a transfer request.
Can I play without being on a team list?: No. If you start playing and haven't either sent me a PM or posted a bolded request, then you will be put on the grey list. You can however start playing on the same post that you used to join a team though.
What is the grey list?: The Grey list contains people who have broken the rules (mainly this is due to not stated which team they want to be on, this means that they could swich whenever they wished (which could make this game unfair again)) so I ask other players of the game to ignore their posts.
How do I get off the Grey List?: If you were added to the list due to not stating which team you wish to belong to then just post your request here or PM me and I'll add you to that list and remove your name from the grey list. If you have been grey listed for any other reason then please PM me stating which rule you have broken (so I know you understand why you were Grey listed) and that you won't break that rule again (if you do then you'll be added to the Black List)
I was the last to post ages ago and no-one else has posted since. Can I just add another post?: No, that's effectively cheating, and do you really want the other team to have that advantage too?
What is the Black List?: The Black List is the next stage from the Grey List. If you have been added to the Black List it means you have broken the games rules several times (even after you have received a PM from me informing you about being Grey Listed). If you have been black listed it means that you are no longer welcome to play Oranges vs Apples until the date listed beside your name and only after you have posted what team you wish to belong to (Black Listing normally lasts for a month).
What happens if I'm added to the black list more than once?: You will be banned from the game for a week. And you get to watch as your teammates struggle without you to win a game they cannot!!! MUWHAHAHA!!! *coughs* Err... Yeah.
How do I get removed from the Black List?: By PMing the reason for you black listing to make sure you understand the rules as well as not doing it again, and apologizing to whomever you happened to offend. (Be that a team, both teams, a single person, or a small group, I don't really care, just say it... Err... Type it.)
These rules are here only so that this doesn't wind up going really downhill. If there are any problems, let me know. This game is usually called "Boys vs. Girls", or "Red vs. Blue" but since a lot of girls have played on both sides, and it's the same with boys, I chose two random colors to use instead, so it was simpler. And yeah, I think that that's pretty much it! Since I'm hosting I'm not on either team, but once this game is over, someone from the winning team gets to host!
