Help!
This is a general request for mod help/a question of general player interest!
The recent Colors Chat has been discussing ideas for new games, and several of us have interest in these two team-based games:
1 - Odds and Evens - Weekly Team-based Co-op/Competition (refined from here)
Each week, there could be two separate "punchcard" layouts of 30-40 specific card traits. For example: a dog or cat, a character with glasses, a blushing character, an orange and purple card, someone who uses a sword, a talking robot, and so on! Players cooperate to fill in as many categories as possible, but one person can only fill two spots (like Coloring Book) so a bit of strategy and possibly trading is needed!
But there are two versions of the punchcard! One requiring odd numbered cards and one requiring even numbered cards. Players are split into either the Odd or Even team and compete to fill their card more than the other! The odd team can only give odd numbered cards for the Odd deck, and the even team can only give Even numbered cards for the Even deck!
Team distribution could be different every week to ensure no team is stacked for too long. For example, players are sorted in week 1 by odd/even number of letters in their dw names! Then week 2, odd/even number for their birthday month! Week 3, odd/even number for the date they joined! Week 4, odd/even number for their age! And so on? In the long run it should end up in a 50/50 split!
Players could get a few random cards for using a card to fill a punchcard slot (like Coloring Book), a bonus if their team fills the whole card, then even more if their team either gets more slots by the end of the round or completes the punchcard first?
2 - Twenty Questions - Round-based Co-op/Competition (refined from here)
A mystery deck is chosen from all of Colors' decks, then players each get one yes/no question per round to help all players as a group try to figure out what deck it is!
Comments are left open, with official mod threads for "Final Questions" and "Final Guesses" so everyone can see each other's questions and coordinate around them, and each round, the previous round's questions are answered and posted so everyone has a tally of what has been asked!
Round 1: Ask a yes/no question and take a random wild stab at the deck if you choose!
Round 2: Get all the answers from Round 1! Take a guess, plus ask an extra question for Round 3 in case nobody gets the answer!
Round 3: Get all the answers from Round 1+2! Take another guess, plus ask an extra question for Round 4 in case nobody gets the answer!
The first player to correctly guess the deck gets a bonus prize which increases the longer the rounds go (so there is incentive for players to want to guess correctly first and win!), but everyone else can also guess the same thing as someone they think is correct, if they want to! It is a team game after all! Once at least one player has guessed the deck correctly, the round ends and another mystery deck is chosen!
Rewards could be based on participation! A small number of cards for asking a question that hasn't already been asked each round, a larger number for guessing correctly, and the bonus prize for being the first to guess right!
The issue is: we are not mods! And we would need a mod to be responsible for posting them!
But what we can do is help provide literally all of the necessary graphics, game description and rules write-ups, templates, lists, and weekly content to run the games to make that part zero effort for you, if you are interested! We would even be willing to keep track or pass out prizes as unofficial helpers - but we need an official mod or helper mod to officially stamp and post!
As a player, too, would you be interested in these games?
Please let us know your thoughts!
I am not sure if we are supposed to use
colors_trade for this but there is no other community?

I can make my own graphics, but a rules write-up to go in every post would be helpful (with the caveat that I might make some minor adjustments for clarity). I'm pretty bad explaining things without visual examples, haha.

[Twenty Questions with TBD 1-1]
It's rumored that [TBD], the famous thief/treasure hunter, has hidden a glorious cache under one of the thousands of Colors decks! But of course s/he isn't making it easy to find which one. Each person gets exactly one hint per week, in the form of a yes/no question! Luckily, you and your friends have come up with the brilliant idea to share information, work together, and split the pot.
Still, only one person can win the race to find the treasure. And as everybody knows, to the first treasure hunter in the room goes the lion's share of the loot!
Gameplay & Rules:
Each game will consist of multiple rounds, posted weekly. Rounds will continue each week until the deck is guessed!
Nothing is screened, to help players work together and co-ordinate questions to their best advantage.
Each round will have two parts: Questions and Guesses.
★ Questions:
- Each player may post one Yes/No question to the Question thread.
- Repeat questions, or questions that cannot be answered with a Yes or No will not count.
- Questions will be gathered and answered at once in the following round, meaning the first round is always blind.
- From the second round and on, answers to all previous Questions will be collected and posted so that all players have a tally of what information has been gathered to guide their guesses!
- Example questions: "Is the deck name a verb?" "Is the deck Special?" "Does it feature a human character?"
★ Guesses:
- Each player may post one official guess to the Guesses thread.
- The guesses may be random at first, but the idea is to narrow them down as more Questions are answered.
- You can guess the same as someone else, if you think they are correct.
- The first player to post a correct guess wins a bonus prize!
Prizes:
★ Players will receive one of the following per round:
- 4 random cards for a valid question, but no correct guesses
- 8 random cards for guessing the correct deck
- 8 random cards plus a bonus 2 cards per round for being the first to guess the correct deck (for example, a 3-round game would be 8 + 2*3 = 14)!

This will either go up today or tomorrow! I need to take a look at the schedule (and do some work stuff, haha).
