Neoxian Game Master Announcement: Unpopular Opinions

---

Hey guys, Neoxian Game Master here. It’s been two weeks since our last game, and that means we’ll be playing again this weekend. I’m sure everyone is excited in anticipation about the weekend’s game.

This Hive announcement to provide all the details of the game and answer some of the questions I was asked about the games. In this way, the Hive post will serve as a reference for new players who just found out about the game on Hive to refer to in order to understand the game. But we’ll still put the announcement on our City Discord too in #citygames for citizens who don’t want to check it out here on Hive. Announcements will always be posted on the city discord first so citizens have a first peek of the new game for the week.

I had thought of announcing it only in the city discord, but if I did that, the questions we answer will get lost up in chat (because the city chat is soooo busy) and new people who join the games from Hive or even new citizens will always keep asking the same questions to understand the games as well. So putting it here on Hive leaves a permanent reference to the gameplay guide and rules for everyone forever.

And Now The Reveal Of This Weekend’s Game

For the game of this weekend, we’ll be playing….

Unpopular Opinions

I’m sure we all have something that we believe deep down but can’t say because it just feels like everyone will be against it, or that many people don’t share in your thinking, have opinions different or even contrasting to yours.

Everything I just described is what make up unpopular opinions, and this weekend, we’re going to be hearing each others.

For me, I think coffee is lame as hell and that “coffee people” are just pretending to enjoy it. Coffee is the definition of bitter and I just can’t believe someone sipping something like that with a smirk and going “mmmm some good coffee”. I also slightly have a disbelief that coffee actually keeps people awake, because the few times I tried it, I ended up sleeping anyways.

So pack all of those unpopular opinions somewhere and let’s share this weekend in the Neoxian City Games.

As always, please bold your contributions to the game to separate it from in-game chat, guys. I anticipate there’ll be a lot of in-game chat this weekend, so I’ll be allowing a lot of time for each person’s turn.

We’re not going to be pairing two people for this game like we normally do. The details of how the game play will look will be in the game post which I’ll be putting out within the next hour.

The Discord Technicalities And General Gameplay Rules

• I’ll create a giveaway in the city games room and everyone reacts to it. The giveaway I create will have only one winner. This will give that one winner enough time to tell us an unpopular opinion and tell us why they think what they think.

• The winner of the giveaways will have 6 minutes starting from when the bot chose them to tells us their unpopular opinion and explain why they think what they think. I’ll be really time sensitive and will skip your round if you fail to present your unpopular opinion within the given timeframe.

• The total gameplay time will be 1hour 30 minutes, 2 hours (or more, but hopefully not as it’ll get stressful) if the turn up is great and we still have many citizens who haven’t played.

• Mr Dragon🐲 will play with us once a while when he has some time to spare, to grace the occasion(I doubt that’ll happen often or at all though so no promises)

Gameplay Rules

As always…

1. Have fun
2. Have fun
3. Be creative and interesting

For now these are pretty much all the rules. Be a human being and have fun, basically. Lol. I’m trying to keep it as simple as it can be to keep it fun. But we certainly need rules or else people will go overboard. Like I already said, as the weeks progresses, there’ll be tweaks to the rules and we’ll have different games every week(hopefully). If we want this to keep going though, the turnouts will have to be encouraging and participation should be good too.

It’s important to note though that the game is not just for people already in the Neoxian city. You can join us today and play with us this weekend!

Hive is so full of articles but people don’t really know what we look like offline. Our personalities and the stories behinds our lives. Come play with us this weekend in the Neoxian City Discord to have an off-chain interaction with some of the Hivers you already might know and find out more about them! Don’t miss it this Sunday!

This is a real time countdown to the game time. I’m working on a way to include people from all over the world in our games, so it is very likely that our game time will change in the next game.

Please ask me questions if you don’t understand anything. If you have any concerns about any of the rules, please let me know too so we can review them before game time. You can tag and mention others I missed to mention in this post so they don’t miss out as well. A reblog and upvote will be appreciated too. Head over to the Neoxian City Discord on Sunday and let’s have some fun!!!
