This competition is called "Back Off Musical Chairs"!
You are likely familiar with the concept of Musical Chairs. Each round, one attempts to place their hindquarters in a chair to survive to the next round, and each round, one person is left without a chair and therefore eliminated.
Each Round I will post *plays tune* and after this point, you wait for me to post the list of chairs to sit in.
Each round, the name (or rather the defining characteristic) of the chairs will be different.
For example, in one round chairs may be described by colors, or one round chairs may be described as shapes. Either way, you must post the chair you sit in including the description.
Example: Round 1
Red Chair
Green Chair
Blue Chair
One must post *sits in red chair* or *sits in blue chair* in order to sit down. SPELLING COUNTS You do not have to have the stars.
HOWEVER, this isn’t your grandfather’s musical chairs. Play is going to get dirty. If you find yourself without a chair, you can still attempt to get in a chair. Here’s how:
1. Post *knocks over (characteristic of chair) chair*
2. Post *sits down in (characteristic of chair) chair*
All BEFORE the person who originally sat in that chair posts “BACK OFF (name of person stealing chair)”. If someone posts BACK OFF ____ before the process is done, you will not successfully steal the chair.
Example of a round of this:
*sits in red chair* - Rose
*knocks over red chair* - Kevin
BACK OFF KEVIN- Rose
*sits in red chair* - Kevin
Kevin does not succeed in getting the chair. He can still try to knock it over again or knock someone else's chair
After I post the chairs, players will have one minute to attempt to steal chairs and such. After the end of one minute, whoever is left chair-less is eliminated for the round (even if there are still open chairs). If someone starts the attempt to steal a chair before I say time, I will let the attempt finish (so you can still try to finish the process of stealing the chair and the other person can still tell you to back off), but no more stealing after I say time.
Any Questions?
