Exactly What It Says on the Tin: We're playing a game of Calvinball.

For those who don't know how to play, the rules are simple: make up whatever you want, as long as it's fun. Any and/or all game pieces are in play, any actions are allowed, and any rule may be invoked.

The only concrete rules are, in descending order of priority, the forum game rules [1], no using the same rule/piece/action twice (at least until enough time has passed that no one else remembers to call you on it), and no retroactively making another player's actions illegal/useless, e.g.

Troper 1: I target your queen with my Pyroblast. She's out.

Troper 2: Nope, queens are immune to fire. Your Pyroblast does nothing.

Troper 2 in this case would need to pick a different action or receive a warning.

I'll start: I summon my monster in attack position and attack your life points directly.

Of course I've gone mad with power. Have you ever tried going mad without power?

Very well, that's 200 damage. I move my rook to E4. Check. (Rooks on E4 check the opposite team now, and if you take exactly 200 damage from an attack, you can move a rook there.)

I enter my king into a new room, It seems I have entered the bedroom so I draw an Omen Card and I get the the Ring. Nice. So I just need to not roll 0. (Doesn’t Roll 0)

I suggest Benbot in the bedroom with the belt.

I reveal the Belt of Giant Strength, and equip it to increase my Strength score by 6.

I roll to move. I got a 3 which means I land on Arcane and send Arcane back to start.

Since no one told me regarding moving the pieces without roll assist, I kick Arcane to the end of board.

After I move to Start and regain steering, I drive through an item block and launch a blue shell.

I take Wasbi timing the value of next card that scores points by 3!

I pulled a seven from the mystery deck, so my speed stat increases by 2.5.

I used Fireball. It was super effective, so I passed Go and collected $200.

I tag [up] and [up][up] with the baseball. They move to the Oubliette for 3 turns.

I rolled a 1, so I move to the party square and gain +3 rhythm.

You activated my trap card, Rhythm Thief! He steals all your rhythm and turns it into HP for me. You ain’t got rhythm.

I find out the Libre took the rage hence forth using it again, I call him out on it saying he’s the secret traitor in this haunt.

I call a vote to eject [up][up] from the Skeld, and he becomes a ghost.

[up]I possess Arcane's body to take back control of the game, whilst simultaneously removing another player from the playing field.

I begin powering up my Mega-Attack, which will take three turns and cost me 40 HP.

I respawn and cast Time Stop, prematurely ending the turn of [up][up]. I then make a telekinetic push to move [up][up] into the path of [up]'s attack.

Of course I've gone mad with power. Have you ever tried going mad without power?

I play the event “Dead Reviving.” Which allows one dead player to rejoin the game than forcing us to choose a choice. ( Long Choice list from Fog of Love)
