[Off-topic] Ilovebees board game *create your own square*

Ok, this was inspired by the chat room, everyone feel free to make a square, or several. Just try to keep em realistic and good for the game. When we have enough i will enlist the help of an artist to render them, then plug em into this nifty java applet i wrote, and TA-DA

The first square

An AI invades the site www.ilovebees.com.
[bee picture]
(something else, im tired)

You get a live call. Roll again

The nearest pay phone is a 4 hour drive, lose a turn



Edit:
Hellion suggested that there be two seperate paths on the board, good idea. We should start thinking about mechanics also/

"Submit axon, only to find out 3 weeks later and after biking for miles in 40 degree, windy, and raining weather that it doesn't work. Shoot yourself in the head, and go back to start."

Guess where I got this one from. Cursing

You have the schedule of an up-and-coming High school student. -Stop playing the game and go pass Spanish!



Its ok, I think still managed a B in spanish, despite my absorbant love of this game.

I'd be happy to bee your artist.

"Follow the red ballons - Advance 2 squares"

"777 - loose 1 turn"

Chance Square (Land on it and a random event occurs)
Here would be the database:
"Seek the Truth - Move Back one square"
"Behold the Truth - Loose Turn"
"Reveal The Truth - Advance 3 Squares"
"Survive - advance 1 square, loose 1 turn"
"Evade - move back 2 squares"
"Resist - Loose 1 turn"
"Escape - advance 3 squares"

Your post is trout. Go back 1 square.

You are the first to solve a puzzle. You are praised on the forum and IRC. Roll again.

The Hurricane Axon: roll above a 2 or get swept back to the start.


(Also, they can't all be "move ahead X" or "move back Y" squares. Some of them have to be non-move squares. So we can just give them location names like:

Crystal Security

Boston Police Station

Thin Kinkle's Playhouse

The Black Box

Cavetti's Ice Cream Shop

We could base it off of the Candy Land board maybe... Smile


"Find an unrelated note taped to your axon, making people on the forums think you're going to be murdered or something. Loose a turn because you're at work and you don't know what's going on until Melissa calls your cel phone. (If you don't have a cel phone, lose 2 turns.)"

"Random muscle head trys to make you get off the phone during a live call. You kick his ass, roll for damage. (And move that number of spaces forward.)"

"You realise you are A_Pawn, move one square forward. (You may move two squares if this is your first move for this turn.)

"You arrive at a new axon only to discover that it has been torn out of the ground by construction workers. Roll a die... On a 4 or higher you manage to get the payphone directory to remove that number and you can continue uninterupted to next week. On a 3 or lower, the directory does not update, and calls continue to go to a nonexistant axon... Loose your next turn."

"Roll again, if you don't like where you land you may go back to the square you were at and reroll... But only if you sing a song first. (You may go back and reroll twice, but it must be a different song.)"

- The only other Beekeepers in the state stop e-mailing you. Take a Despair time out (lose 1 turn)

- You miss an axon because:
    Someone random picked up the phone just as you walked up.
    You had other obligations (class, work, family).
    You got pulled over for speeding.
    The GPS location points to the middle of an empty parking lot.
Take a chance card.

- You pick up an axon. Take an Evade Evade Evade card. (I love that card idea)

(And someone should add something about the pictures we took, but I have no idea what.)

"Melissa accepts a picture of you as..."

(1 card) "Vac Suit Tech. (This lets you move through "Room of Argon" or "Outer Space" instead of having to go around it.)"

(1 card) "Scuba. (This lets you take the short cut "Duck Pond" instead of having to go around it. Also, you can actually answer any axons that were created out in the ocean... So you do not suffer any bad effects from them if you don't want to.)"

(1 card) "Paratroop. (This lets you roll the die if you land on a square that you don't want to be on... If you roll a 3, and only a 3, you may select any adjacent square instead.)

Oops! You caused the end of the world! Go back 2 spaces!

Oops, you pressed the BLUE button! Quit playing immediately and read the damn instructions, you dumbass!

Oops, you 'accidentally' ran over Thin Kinkle, then turned around, and ran over him 4 more times! Oh wait, that's a good thing. Roll again, and clean the ick off your car.

Timer countdown starting at 20050:00:00:000! Too bad, you can't roll again until the timer's finished.

Oh noes! You were 'Banz0r3d!!!!1111oneoneonetwo35goldfish111'! You lose!

Your Medium was Metastasized! Go look up what 'metastasized' means, and lose your turn.
Or, if you already knew what 'metastasized' means, tell everyone the definition right away. If you're right, get a free cookie.

You stepped on the Pious Flea! Even though that's implying something involving metaphysical entitys, go back 3 spaces.

You caused Plot Device no. 23435983475321! Roll again!


If I were in charge of this board game, I'd make sure your opponents made your turns hell, too. Very Happy I like watching people struggle to do something in games.
