Snowball Skirmish
A holiday forum game
Objective:
Score the most snowball hits, and be the least hit yourself. (tentative ending time: end of the year)
Rules:
1) You can throw one snowball per post. You can only throw at people who are playing. Try not to pick on one person if you can help it.
2) You make the snowball by making a post saying something to the effect of "I am building a snowball." The more posts you make to build the snowball, the bigger it will be and the more points it will be worth if it hits. One post = 1 point, 2 posts = 2 points, 3 posts = 3 points, etc. You can not build and throw in the same post.
3) There is a slim chance you can avoid being hit if you post that you dodge the attack within a window of time after the throw has been made. The window is ten minutes for every point of the snowball (10 minutes for a 1-point snowball, 20 minutes for a 2-point snowball, etc.) You can not dodge and build at the same time, but you may dodge and throw at the same time.
4) You can't post twice in a row.
5) If there's any dispute about the rules, settle the dispute with loud, bratty yelling and threats to tell on them.
Feel free to illustrate with descriptive words, MSPaint masterpieces, or whatever inspires you. I'll start!

The towering and thin Gebohq taunts all his opponents to dare strike him down, for he has felled two mighty trees WITH HIS BARE HANDS!
