Two Cans & String

{ "thread_id": "11543", "posts": [ { "id": "1173771", "time": "1634230226", "html": "<span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Because those with non-traditional gender identities should also be included</span><br /><br />Like gender race, but with a bit of a twist to make sure we can get everyone included, and give <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">everyone </span>a chance to prove that they have the superior gender identity.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Now using the new and improved Jaded Ruleset!</span><br /><br />There are three "stacks\u201d, which all start at 250 (written as 250/250/250). With each post, you must increase the value of one stack by 1, and decrease the value of another stack by 1, so that the total always remains 750 (so a valid first move might take it to 251/249/250). You may not decrease any stack to below 0.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Girls</span> win when the first stack reaches 750 and the other two are at 0 (i.e. 750/0/0).<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">NB folks</span> win when the middle stack reaches 750 and the other two are at 0 (0/750/0).<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Boys</span> win when the third stack reaches 750 and the other two are at 0 (0/0/750).<br /><br />Each team will have to make a minimum of 500 moves in order to win. Just like the old gender race. Also, this one has a little bit of 'strategy' involved in order to win.<br /><br />Hopefully this can replace the existing gender race, since we probably should go for a more inclusive game.

Both stacks start at 250. Every turn, you may increment or decrement the value in either stack. You may only change the value of one stack per turn.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Boys win</span> if the first stack hits 500 and the second stack hits 0. <br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Girls win</span> if the first stack hits 0 and the second stack hits 500.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">NB folks win</span> if both stacks hit 0.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Intersex / Bigender folks win</span> if both stacks hit 500. If we don't have any of them for the time being, just consider it <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">all</span> parties losing.<br /><br />Regardless, everyone will have to change the starting value by a minimum of 500 in order to win. Just like the old gender race.
