Hurt or Heal: Weird Al Parodies - 90s Edition
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:13 am
The Rules of the Game:
The basic premise of "Hurt or Heal" is similar to Survivor. Players vote off which Parodies they don't want to survive, but the twist is they can also save Parodies they want to keep.
For this game, we'll use a list of the Parodies done by Weird Al Yankovic (not counting original songs he wrote). Since there are so many parodies, we are breaking them up by eras, starting with the 90s.
Each Parody starts off with 10 points. Players may choose to do one of three actions:
1. "Hurt" a Parody by deleting 2 points.
2. "Heal a Parody by adding 2 points.
3. "Hurt" a Parody by deleting 1 point, and "Heal" a Parody by adding 1 point.
Players can only take ONE action a day.
"Day" is defined as the 24-hour period between 12:00 am and 11:59 pm in whatever timezone players reside in. Thus, a player may vote at 6:43 pm, then again at 2:18 am, and still have it considered one action a day. Players cannot take actions twice in the same day, for example: at 9:42 am and at 5:16 pm.
Thus, no one is allowed to get a show removed by "hurting" it until it's eliminated, and no one is allowed to raise a film's points by continually "healing" it to the maximum point value.
For games with a listing of 21 or more ("Hurt or Heal"), the maximum point value is 30 points. They cannot go above 30.
For games with a listing of 20 or less ("Hurt or Heal Mini"), the maximum point value is 30 points. They cannot go above 30.
As there are 20 songs listed, the point value in this game is 10.
When a Parody reaches 0 points, it is eliminated from the game and cannot be brought back.
When a Parody reaches its maximum point value (30), no further points can be added. Points can still be taken away, then added again (i.e. 30 points to 28 points to 29 points to 30 points again), but never go above the maximum point value.
To play the game, simply copy the list and adjust the points to reflect your action. Make sure to bold the film(s) you've adjusted so the next player knows what's been hurt or healed.
