I have just finished playing. Worked really well except that I only scored 75. Is that bad? The only comment I have is that there was a flash of bottle just before the spin startes that I think is unintended. Hope this gives you some tests to look at server side.

Just tried a normal game. Lost again! However, the flash of bottle just before the 'spin' button I mentioned above is still there. Hope this is helpful.

Sounds like a great plan, count me in

Wow. Probably the worst round I've ever had playing for my first trial of the tournament system.

I'm glad it was just a trial run! LOL

Just here for laughs ... and grimaces.

I'm definitely in to test the tournament features. I'll pm you my ID.

Sorry for the delay, sometimes real life gets in the way of my participation here. So the trial run went well and seems to have worked perfectly. You only get one shot at a tournament round, and if you play again, it's just a normal game...until the next round. If anyone is curious, tinydickedshane would have won that round, and BoundTease would have lost.

I'll start a new thread with tournament info and rules. After that, our contestants can introduce themselves and I'll get everyone registered. There's just one small problem: I won't have consistent access to my computer until mid-March. So, in the meantime we can finalize the rules and get to know everyone a bit. Sorry for the long delay. I guess at least this way it will give people who only log in occasionally the opportunity to see the thread and join.

I just realized that if you doubled down and won you wouldn't necessarily be credited with a win for the tournament, so I re-factored the double down scoring. Now if you double down and win you will get the opponent's score, and the opponent will lose the game. That way there's motivation to risk a forfeit, especially in a tournament. Any better ideas?

I still haven't posted a tournament thread because my schedule is getting busier and busier, and I'm just not sure I can log in reliably enough to manage that. Would anyone else like to run the tournament? That way you can start it sooner and don't have to wait for me.

Here's what I came up with for preliminary rules. Of course, anything can be changed to attract more contestants. Also, if any females are interested, we'd need to change a few things. Let me know if you think there's anything that should be changed, and PM me if you're interested in moderating a tournament. I can send you the contestant management script. Or, you can await a few weeks for me...

Proposed Rules:

1. Each contestant must post an introduction in this thread. The post should contain a proposed “worst fear” forfeit that is possible to do and within personal limits. The forfeit should contain elements of exposure, humiliation, and pain. The contestant should briefly explain why the forfeit is adequate and why it would be something they would dread doing. Other players can contest the proposal if it doesn’t seem worth of the “worst fear” forfeit.

2. Each tournament is played like a normal Spin-the-Bottle game, and all players must complete any spankings, forfeits, or pillory pictures according to the normal rules of the game. The pillory, spanking bench, and “double down” forfeit can be risked at the player’s discretion.

3. In order to accommodate different time zones, each round will be played over the course of three days. Within the three days, each contestant must play a tournament round of Spin-the-Bottle. After three days, I’ll publish a list of the scores.

4. In the event of a tie for the lowest score, the player with the lowest overall score (considering all rounds played) will be the loser. If there’s a tie again (of if it’s the first round) both players will be the loser and must complete the forfeit. Once a player loses a round, they are out of the game and excluded from future rounds. However, they still risk being selected by the winner for a forfeit.

5. Once a round is complete, a new round will begin and the stakes will increase. At the same time, the loser of the previous round will have three days to complete the public forfeit and submit that to the forum. Basically, they need to complete the forfeit before the next round starts.

6. The contestant with the lowest score for each round will need to complete the round forfeit and upload a video. Each round forfeit will include a penalty that’s determined by the point difference between the loser and the player with the next highest score. The minimum point difference is ten, just to ensure there’s actually a penalty.

7. The loser of the first round will be required to post a video to PornHub (or similar site) starting fully dressed and then stripping completely naked. Once naked the loser will turn around slowly to give the audience a clear view of his whole body. He’ll then need to get hard while standing, and maintain an erection for one second for each point difference. A coin should be placed on the penis head and must not fall off during the erection period.

8. The loser of the second round will be required to record the same stripping video followed by a spanking, with five swats for each point difference. Swats must be firm, and other contestants can contest the video if the spanking doesn’t seem to be whole-hearted. Again, the video will be uploaded to a public site for everyone to see.

9. The loser of the third round will be required to record the stripping video followed by ball busting. A sock with a fruit (or similar) should be used to firmly hit the balls once for each point difference. Again, hits must be firm, and other contestants can contest the video if the ball busting doesn’t seem to be whole-hearted. As usual, the video will be uploaded to a public site for everyone to see.

10. The final round will be played by the two players with the highest score in the third round. The loser of the final round will need to complete the “worst fear” forfeit within one week.

11. The winner of the final round gets to choose one of the contestants to perform a forfeit of his choice. The contestant can agree, or request a different forfeit if not possible or outside of his limits. That player will also have one week to complete the forfeit.

Sounds promising!!! Can't wait to try it!

Hey ptdw,
Thanks for putting all this work in! Personally, I'm happy to wait for you to be ready, since you put all the effort in. It's the least we can do...

Couple of things:
1. Should we have a default/suggested/example 'worst fear' forfeit? To help people get started? People can explain why they chose an easier/harder one if they elect to do that of course.

2. I think we should say that videos can be taken down at the conclusion of the tournament.

3. If the final round is played by only the 2 highest scoring players from round the previous round, doesn't that mean it's possible to leave some players out? Or did i misread it?

Looking forward to it.
Trin

Yes, we should have an example forfeit, and yes videos can definitely be removed after the game. It's hard to guess how many people would be left for the final round, but in the end, the goal is to only have one winner and one loser. As people lose earlier rounds they are eliminated, and then we end up with only two in the end. Just to keep everyone interested, the winner gets to pick a public forfeit for ANY one of the past players, so even if you're eliminated, you're still part of the game until it's all over.

Personally, I *REALLY* wouldn't mind if someone took over and ran the tournament. I like creating things, but don't necessarily have time to "run" things. Either way is fine with me, but if anyone wants to run it, that's totally OK and I would enjoy watching. In any case, I think the start date shouldn't be any earlier than a week from now, as that will give people time to notice the tournament and join in.

Good Morning!
I like what you have proposed here, at least as I understand it. As I read this, is the first/second loser eliminated after their loss? If someone is to lose the first round for example, are they then done participating in the tournament and is their only forfeit that which is described in your example? I'm not too clear on that. Another thing I want to throw out there is the time between rounds. At risk of making the game too slow, is three days enough? I only bring it up as my work schedule too is constantly in flux and completing a forfeit in three days might prove difficult in that time frame (without going into boring detail I get a workload on a daily basis, some days it's just a few hours, others its 15 or 16 hours) . If, as a group, everyone else likes 3 days I'll make it work, but as you mentioned sometimes life gets in the way and it might make it easier on whomever is admin the tourney. Regardless I am in and look forward to it. I also think a mid month start would be good in the hope that others who haven't seen this thread might end up joining in. Thanks for all you do for this project. It is much appreciated!

My original idea we to eliminate one person each round, until there were only two in the end. As the group dwindled, the remaining players could decide on an ante that was more and more daring until others folded or lost the rounds. However, thinking it through, that could go on a long time, so I thought a few pre-defined forfeits may be easier for everyone.

My thinking is that if you end up the loser of a round, it's gonna be pretty embarrassing and all the attention will be on you as you do your forfeit. Throughout the course of the tournament, I'm guessing nearly everyone will have their time in the "limelight". Actually, I'd love to involve some sort of live element, like if you end up on the pillory you have to post a time you'll be available on video or something, but again, due to times differences and schedules that's probably not possible.

Regarding times between rounds, I chose three days because I figured people would get bored with a tournament if it drags on for a month or more. But if you guys are willing, I think a week between rounds is more feasible. In that case we could continue after the four rounds and the winners could "ante" a new forfeit that they decide among themselves for higher-level rounds until there are only two players left.

Thoughts on that?

I think each round running for 3 days is fine, but maybe a week to complete the forfeit would be good, given that it's gonna take a bit more organising and/or waiting for privacy at home etc.

I don't mind, however. I'm happy if the game goes on for several weeks.

In terms of number of players in each round, what about working down to one winner and one loser. So given the number of players, work backwards to work out how many losers there should be in each round, so as the forfeits get harder, the number of people doing them gets smaller?

Up to you of course.

Perhaps a collateral requirement similar to courtroom for entrants also? This would help keep everyone focused on doing the punishments in the time frame as well as keep those out that are simply curious to play with no intent to really pay up.

Just a thought...

I like the idea of pre-determined punishments for the first few rounds. This should help speed up the whole process. And if posted ahead of time and if they get progressively worse, at some point players would rather lose than take a chance of getting a worse punishment in a later round. Unless they win out of course.

I could actually get on board with a week. Personally, my job thing goes from not having anything to do to urgent projects that demand all of my time without warning (such is the life of a contractor). You will notice I am very active here then all of a sudden drop off the face of the earth for 48 or 72 hours, that's why . I was thinking that a set time once a week to have forfeits complete and a new round to start would make it easier on the admin. Example: all forfeits must be completed by and a new round starts X:XX GMT on (insert day here), with the admin picking the time most likely to be convenient for them. Using GMT would make it easier spanning time zones. As someone else mentioned, I would have no objection to the game lasting a monthish, but that may just be me.

Anyhow, that's my input. Whatever the group as a whole would prefer is great by me!
