Water Balloon Fight!

Professor Pierce has put tgether a little water balloon fight as homework for her class. There are barriers and other things to hid behind, several faucets on the walls and extra water balloons in the corners. Those who earned water balloons in class will be able to fill their balloons before the fight begins and will be allowed to throw them at other players as they run to grab and fill their own balloons. Professor Pierce will tell you when it is time for everyone to grab their balloons.

OOC:This will be run like the Quidditch game in the games forum of the site. Please read the rules below before posting in this thread.

RULES!

Scoring/Points

A hit to a fellow house member: 1 point
A hit to another house: 2 points.

Rules

1. Never edit. Editting voids the post, making your play invalid and subsequent scores.
2. No double posting, someone ELSE must make your balloon hit, you cant make your own hit/miss etc.
3. You may post EITHER a move or a result in your post, never both.

How to Play

Moves

This game operates using 'moves' and 'results', so it's crucial that you understand what they are.

A move is an action by a player.

There's a twist to it though.

When you try to throw a balloon, there's no guarantee that it will hit. It could miss, be dodged or hit.

You must post your character throwing his/her balloon at someone specific (or a specific house) but NOT post that it hits, misses etc.

Examples of correct moves are:

1. Alex throws her balloon at Rave!
2. Alex throws her ballooon at a Slytherin student!

A result is the outcome of a move.

The results of the move are determined by the next person to post.

Possible results for the examples of moves above are:

1. Alex's balloon hits Rave and soaks her!
2. Rave dodges the balloon, wow close one!
3. Rave throws a balloon back, but gets hit with Alex's!
4. Danni throws herself in front of Rave and blocks the shot, getting soaked herself!
5. Danni throws the balloon but it misses and hits the floor instead.

Just to include some, examples of incorrect moves are:

1. Alex throws her balloon at Rave and soaks her!
2. Rave tosses a balloon Danni's was but it misses.
3. Danni thows her balloon at Alex who catches it.

These kinds of moves predict the future. They're not allowed.

So if you're posting a move, make sure you post your move without the result. If you are posting a result, post the balloon hitting, missing or something like that.

IMPORTANT:
1. When you throw a balloon make sure you post who (or what house) you are throwing at.

2. If you weren't in class, just join in anyway
