Calvinball 2020 Official Thread

[josh]

Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but starting on the first of January isn’t that bad. Also, I’m proud to present to you a pointless prize that doesn’t just involve eating/drinking and tagging rides. Without any further ado, here we go:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]20578[/ATTACH]

Bruce the Sleepy/josh is returning as Tim the Enchanter for a new game of Calvinball. I am the sole keeper of the scores and arbiter of the rules, although I’ll strive to be less capricious than rcannon100. I will begin the game by hiding the Calvinball and posting here.

Initial Rules

Your quest is to seek thee the gameball, hidden secretly amongst the cycling trails inside the beltway (but not to be found in any federal park).

Seek the game ball. Maketh up a new ordinance for the game. Hide the sacred ball. Post your new ordinance along with guidance on how those who follow can seek the gameball. Thou shall find, hide and post within the same hours 24.

For finding the gameball, ye shall be awarded 5 points, less a point for each day that passeth before the gameball is once again uncovered.

Ye may find the gameball but once during each rotation of the Earth. Ye may possess the gameball but once every other turn.

If your new ordinance nets three likes, ye shall likewise be award points equaling five and your ordinance shall be implemented as law of the game, which all who play must loyally adhere.

This be not organized competition. This be Calvinball. New rules are obliged to follow the spirit of Saint Calvin and Saint Hobbes. New ordinances shall not thee be bills of attainder but must generally apply to all fools of venture into our midst. New ordinances cannot benefit the ordinance’s scribe uniquely. New ordinances should make the court jester smile upon thee, and shall not place any in existential peril.

If a new ordinance shall contravene an old ordinance, the ordinance with highest net likes shall be declared the law.

Prizes
TBD

Notes
Consider Thee Calvinball a Hot-potatoe game – not a hide-and-seek game. This be not geocaching. More, we wish the Calvinball attain perpetual motion, constantly moving, from pilgrim to pilgrim. (Translation: don’t make your hides hard or your rules constraining. The more silliness the better.)
This is not a winner take all game — “The points don’t matter”
Don’t be too incestuous with your hiding and finding please, I don’t want to drop the hammer on anyone

Is the last part of this new? I don’t recall is from last year, but like it none the less! Glad to see the game back in action.
