Splank n'Run

I have designed a new game.  The goal is to locate a vict, er....Glitchen,  and hunting them down in the streets to splank them and get away before retaliation.  It is a bit of prankish fun.

Some Rules:
Splanking must be a surprise, and YOU have to pop in on them, not vice versa. 
Teleporting is allowed
Homestreets and Towers are off limits. (makes the game too easy)
You can't splank a victim twice in one UR day. 

Today so far I have splanked Flask and Rnixon the Crook.   I had to run both of them down through several streets, so it is harder than you think.  Plus, not many Glitchen are roaming the streets right now.

If your victims says "WTF!", link them back to this forum.  Let me know who you splanked!!!

EDIT - TRY NOT TO SPLANK THE SAME GLITCH OVER AND OVER (with the exception of me, cuz I started it) so you don't get blocked for being a jolly prankster.

  • You should give people a Pumpkin Ale after you splank them. That way, you can call it Splankenstein.

  • so really we need to do this to friends/glitch we know rather than risk an all out splank fest and blocking brigade!! :D :D :D

  • I like doing that to people, but hanging around to wait for their reaction. It usually goes one extreme or the other. . .WTF?!? or LMAO!

  • that is breaking the rules Gordon!! I just got chased thru about 7 streets by KiiMao before I finally teleported home.   She almost got me a couple of times.   It is almost as fun running as it is chasing.   You have to be quick.

  • @Arabesque, you are right. But I think limiting it to one splank per glitch per game day will keep people from blocking.  I would hope they have senses of humor.

  • If someone is playing with a low-powered computer, the splanking graphics can cause significant lag, cause a player action to go awry, and even require restarting the game. You might want to keep that in mind.

  • I would totally agree Splendora if the high-fiving and potion throwing didn't have the same results.

     So I could be totally innocently giving someone a high five and cause them to restart.  Is the intention of the instigator what sets those actions apart?

     I contend that splanking another glitch in the spirit of the game is not intended to be malicious.  I would compare it to scaring the hell out of your friends by jumping out at them.  that's fun too.

    Granted, I would hope that if someone says "please don't splank me, it causes me to crash" would be enough to keep it from happening to them.  Although, I would not announce it in global - that's just baiting the griefers. 

    Besides, it is much more fun to chase the really fast Glitches.

  • the only reason she caught me is that i thought for some reason she'd come to see me and it would be polite to let her catch up and chat.

    while i approve of absurdist games, i wish to let it be known for the record that i'd have given a heck of a lot better chase if i'd known it was going to be one of THOSE things.

    the lesson i have learned here is never, ever, pause to let anyone approach you. run! run like the wind! they are a mad splanker!

    or they might be.

    if the whole world is your playing field and there are no time outs, nobody is safe. best to run anytime you see anyone anywhere.

    always carry hairball. always have a TP point near a locked door. always be looking over your shoulder.

  • Good to have it pointed out that high fives and certain uses of potions also create lag. For that reason, I also don't use these actions except in circumstances where I'm confident they will cause no problems. Parties also are a problem for some people, so I'm OK with folks turning down or not responding to invitations.

    For me, it's not about intentions. It's about being aware that certain lag-creating actions can interfere with the game play of others. While I'm not suggesting walking on eggshells, it's something to keep in mind.

  • People who splank without warning tend to be blocked.  Just sayin'.

  • lol I am so chasing you next Tibbi
    Posted 5 months ago by Zooo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ha!  :>  Just try to catch me! Heehee.
    Posted 5 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • People could use this thread to say "catch me if you can."

    So catch me if you can :)  But I have to warn you that I'm a pretty easy target. My cat counts coup on me several times every day.

  • Haze, Beans obviously, Lizzard and Justin Daigle have felt the wrong end of my splanking plank!!   Muwahahaha

  • I think it is rude to splank people just out of the blue ~to me splanking is a form of punishment, and not at all fun or funny.
    Why does it have to be splanking?
    Why not do a 'Hug-Mug/Hugging-Mugging' instead??

  • Hell, I'll play. Catch me if you can~
    Posted 5 months ago by Xiri Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Kaydee, if it were an actual rl splanking it certainly would be a form of punishment.  I view it as a "tweaking the nose" of a fellow glitch.

     I have been IMing my victim right after and giving them the link, so they know I was playing. That will help people from getting blocked as well. 

    However, a Hug-Mug sounds like fun too.... you could shout "HUG MUG!" and run away

  • *rubs backside* 

    I didn't realize I was supposed to chase you back!!!  *plots*

  • Thanks Zooo for your reply, but I just don't see being slapped in the face with a plank as 'fun', to me it is either a form of punishment, or bullying, and it ticks me off.
    In stark contrast to that, a hug-on-the-run (hug-mug) is funny and amusing, and never leaves me feeling ticked off/annoyed.
    Just because this is not RL, doesn't mean my perception of happy/sad/angry is changed.

    Give me a hug, or even a garlic kiss, any time ~now that is cheeky and funny! =)

  • I'm afraid I totally agree with ~Kaydee~

    I really, really dislike splanking and being splanked. I took part in a  splanking party for me and others to get the badge (I like badges), and haven't splanked anyone since.

    Hug-mugging sounds fun and I would take part with glee. Organise a Hug n'Run and I'll be there.

  • I will try and remember to keep Kaydee and IrenicRhonda off my splank list. 

    I think everything in Glitch is meant as something fun. There is only silly/fun in this game and I don't think anything was meant as punishment here. So, if I see you two, I will Hug-Mug you :)

  • If you happen to see me actually in UR feel free to splank, hug, high-five, RK, whatever. I don't mind. =) If I'm busy with something though I may or may not be in a position to actually run. Especially since at some point hopefully soon I'll be doing a lot of mining for metal in preparation for going after some of the snail badges. If I'm in the middle of mining I obviously won't be able to run for example.

  • Hug-Mug (or Garlic Kiss if you must) for me too ~resent being splanked. =)

  • Stupid post button...anyway! Someone blocked me after splanking me last week. (after I IM'd a WTF) now, that was rude.

  • that is rude Saraphim.. .. but hey, you are probably better off.    Faux, it is more fun for me if you DON'T run... easier target..
