Counting (The Game)

Counting (The Game) is a game that tests its players teamwork and strategy skills in a test of will. It was brought to MafiaScum by somestrangeflea, and was originally meant to be a joke. It turned out to be a quite fun game to the first competitors, CogitoErgoSum, Shanba, Xdaamno, and Gatorguy91. It is regularly played on ScumChat, due to its ability to be played with no prior setup.

Rules

The aim of the game is simple. As a team, players must count to as high a number as possible, following three basic rules:

1. If any player posts the same number as a previous player, the team must start again at 1.
2. No player may double post.
3. Players may not play the game with a strategy created prior to playing, and players cannot communicate regarding strategy while the game is being played.

Scoring

While no scoring is needed, players may wish to use the following scoring method:

Team Score = Number reached × Number of players involved

Using this scoring method, a team of 10 successfully counting to 20 would score 200 points, as would a team of 5 successfully counting to 40, equally tough challenges.
