Join the Articularias in playing a variety of games during May and June of 2024!
Each Friday a new game will be up, and you'll have a week or two to complete them and earn points. The participant with the most points at the end of the event will earn the "Game Lover" Articularia design, and all participants who get a minimum of 5 points will also get a MYO slot!
Check all the information on how to participate in this event below ~
Any person can participate in the event, group member or not, Articularia owner or not.
On the days and timeframes listed below, a new comment will be made in this thread with a new minigame.
After a new game is up, participants should PM Mima their completed games.
DO NOT reply as a comment in this thread, or else all participants can see your answers and copy them!
--------------------------
For each game there will be a number of points that can be earned:
- Participation point -
1 point will be given to each participant that completes the minimum required of each game, described below.
- Correctness point -
1 point will be given to each participant that completes the entire game, with all replies correct.
- Quickness point -
1 point will be given to the first participant of each game to send it fully completed and all correct.
Scoring will be kept on this google spreadsheet!
--------------------------
In case there is a tie between 2 or more participants for who got the most points, tie break will be done as follows:
- The participant with the most "Correctness" points;
- If tie persists, the participant with the most "Quickness" points;
- If tie persists, we will choose the participant who created the best outfits in game 6, by staff vote.
"Game Lover" Articularia
This lad here is a total game nerd! They love all sorts of tabletop games, be it played with cards, dice, on a board, whatever you can show them! Their creation power even matches this interest, as this Articularia is able to create anything fitting the concept of "Tabletop Games"!
This Articularia design will be given to the participant who earns the most points at the end of the event.

Articularia MYO slot
