The rules are simple:
1. After becoming a regular based on these requirements or having more than 1000 messages, players must declare their participation in the culling game at a thread of their choice (Casual Chatting Thread, shitpost here, Association Chain Game, borgar 🍔 (poll), and Last Letter Game.) within 4 hours.

2. Any player who breaks the previous rule shall be subject to having their "regular" status revoked.

3. Non-players who enter the threads become players at the first message and shall be considered to have declared participation in the culling game.

4. Players score points by getting reactions. Any new reactions to a a player's message sent before they participates in the culling games do not count towards their score, and that messages expire for points potential within 1 day after they are sent.

5. Points are determined by the game master and indicate the value of the message. As a general rule, 10 reactions are worth 5 points, but certain reactions such as Strikes will have special effects (e.g.: 3 or more Strikes and Dumbs decreases your score, and 3 or more Helpfuls, Loves, or Wows will give extra points.

6. Players may expend 100 points to negotiate with the game master to add one new rule to the culling game.

7. In accordance with the previous rule, the game master must accept any proposed new rule unless it has a marked and long-lasting effect on the culling game.

8. If a player's score remains the same for a day, that player shall be subject to having their "regular" status revoked.

9. Any attempt to cheat the system will result in the revoking of the offending player's "regular" status.

Any updates relating to the culling game will be posted here. Whoever has the most points will declared the winner of the culling game. The prize is... whatever I could find. Good luck to any future players.

so only our messages in one of the five threads count towards points? are the reactions counted at a certain time each day?

Wouldn't it be better/fairer if only the game master knows who participates, else  someone could rig this game by simply manipulating who gets reacted and who not.
If worst comes to worst no one gets reactions. :thonk:

Yes, the points are only counted in the thread you chose to participate. For the second question, It'll try to keep track of any messages that hit the freshold.

Kogane, i'd like to add a rule. all players, regardless of thread, must change their pfp to Roland from Library of Ruina. failure to do so within 24 hours of this rule's implementation will result in a player being stripped of their technique balls

I'm trying to prevent that with rule 9... plus it'll be like a certain group where none of the players know that they're playing or not.
Also, rigging is par for the course, so it's fine :kek:

I don't understand the rules of the game, or what are we supposed to be doing exactly.
Basically, you gain points by getting reactions in a thread of your choosing. This is mostly as a silly april fools event a way to "cull" regulars. I should probably tweak a few rules before more people get in. Also, since you are a regular according to rules, you have to participate, or else you'll lose that status
But don't take that too seriously, ok?
This sounds like EZ MODO for some well-known regulars, could they get a handicap?
No.

does this mean 10 reactions or 10 reaction score? also, are points only added in 5s? (meaning 18 reactions would only result in 5 points, not 9).

if scores are only increased in multiples of 5 (/10 reactions), do reactions carry over from day to day, or are excess reactions at the end of a day / counting period truncated? (for example, if on day 1 a player had 19 reactions and were given 5 points, then received 11 reactions on day 2, would they be given 5 points on day 2? or 10 points on day 2?)

No.
Oh, I see.
I sort of feel like ME in particular participating would be cheating.
