[Approved] Jackbox games

[faf]

Welcome, welcome to the Get Together's Official Jackbox Event! Starting at whatever, I will ping those who want to join and once a fair number of people show up, I will stream a Jackbox game via discord! In events when I'm not streaming, BESTIE'S BESTIE will host some rounds in my place.

Wednesdays and Sundays @ 2pm EST

But, what is Jackbox you may ask?
Jackbox is a party game with a huge variety of games you can play without using a controller nor buying the game! Simply go to jackbox.tv using your computer, smart phone, or tablet, type in the room code shown on the screen, and give yourself a name no longer than 12 characters (ideal if you use your own name and to keep it appropriate). While there will be voice chat, you do not need to talk to participate and have fun!

The rules are basically follow all PokeCommunity rules and no collaborating with your team during this event.

How will the points be awarded?
Your team will be awarded 5 points for participation! We are also switching up how points are awarded too. First, we have achievements that can be completed only once during the GT event.

Achievements:​

- Back from the dead - As a dead player, catch up to the living player in the finals of Trivia Murder Party - 20 Points
- FLAWLESS VICTORY - Have your champions win every round of Champ'd Up - 20 Points
- Right Down the Middle - Split the room 50/50 1 time in Split the Room - 10 Points
- Picasso - Have no one guess what your drawing prompt was, in a round of Drawful - 5 Points
- S T O N K S - Have one of your products in Patently Stupid get all the max funds (except yours). - 10 Points
- Everyone Loves Me - Always get a match every night in Monster Seeking Monster - 10 Points
- Comedy Gold - Earn a Quiplash in one round. - 20 Points
- All By Myself - Get ignored in Monster Seeking Monster 2+ times in a row - 5 Points
- Eminem Got Silent fr - Make a rap that gets all the money. - 15 points

(maybe get new achievements?)

And then we have first place and team bonuses, for winning you will gain 5 points and your team will gain 20 points if your teams wins the most games per session.

Have fun!

Honestly most of the iconic games I'd say are in 3-7 anyway? Taking a look at 8 and 9, I don't think there's much that would I think tally up to these games anyway. In terms of stuff to play, I was thinking:

• Champ'd Up
• Quiplash (Any)
• Fibbage
• Trivia Murder Party
• Patently Stupid
• Mad Verse City
• Split the Room
• Drawful
• Survive the Internet
• Monster Seeking Monster

In terms of Achievements, I'm happy with most of the ones we have, the only ones I'd remove/change (because no one got them last year) are:

• Comedy Gold - Earn a Quiplash every SINGLE prompt.
• S T O N K S - Have one of your products in Patently Stupid get all the max funds (except yours)
• Right Down the Middle - Split the room 50/50 2+ times in Split the Room

I'd happily change the Split the Room one to just getting a 50/50, and maybe instead just have one Achievement for each game in the list?

Otherwise I think everything else is OK! What's your schedule looking like for this year?

Honestly, the games you've suggested are prolly the best bets anyways and I'm def okay with hosting em. I think for the achievements that didn't get achieved last year are fine to keep around just because I do want some difficulty with getting points and I don't rly wanna pass them out like free candy lol. However, I'm okay with possibly modifying the Quiplash one to just one round of getting 2 Quiplashes and the Split the Room can just be one 50/50. We can add an achievement for Mad Verse City which is similar to the achievements we currently have.

As for my schedule, I can possibly host this Wednesdays and Sundays but I will not be around on the 13th.
