Hello and welcome to Syne Academy's Second annual White Elephant Gift Exchange! This was such a hit last year, it would be criminal not to do it again! This year there will be a bit of a difference, but the concept is the same.
Weren't here last year? Well Happy holidays! I'm here to explain he rules!
FIRST. You roll the White Elephant dice in this topic. If you are the first to post, this is your only option. If you roll a number already taken by someone, you roll again. Simple, right? This is where the fun happens. The next person to roll Can do one of two things: Roll the dice like normal, or Steal a number from one of the previous rollers. Note that if you steal, you do not get to roll. If a number is stolen from you, you get to roll again, but cannot steal. Repeat and stolen numbers are the ONLY way to reroll.
Now for the differences between now and last year:
Steals are unlimited. Last year there was a 2 steal limit on any one number. This year, feel free to hot potato to your heart's content.
And the biggest change? No one knows the worth of the Numbers! Last year we had the list displayed for all, and so steals were pretty obvious. This year, only I and the other members of the main staff have access to the list of prizes (Dear said staffers, I ask that you not steal, since you can see the numbers. You can participate, but rolls only). These are basically the same prizes as last year. Biggest prize given out last year was free weapon upgrade, and the biggest Prize to be won is a SECOND SEMBLANCE.
So go out! Have fun! And have a happy holiday!
