fandoms + bias assigning.

okay so. i'm aware that mixing two fandoms might get a bit complicated, but please bear with me while i explain. for those who don't know, a bias here would be your favorite character.

the sign up form below would have three options: genshin, hsr, or both. if you pick just genshin or just hsr, you can simply mention one bias, and the game will proceed like normal.

think of the both option as a bit of a 'hard mode' where: you can't interact with either of your original biases from both star rail and genshin. every other thing remains the same and you'd only get one assigned bias (could be from either game).

simply put, it would just mean that other players can sabotage you with both of your faves.

all the biases will be assigned by a wheel randomly from a list.

rules and notes.

once the ebg starts, i'll release a list of the players, the original biases and the assigned biases. this can be reblogged at the start of the game without incurring a strike.

no interacting with / mentioning / acknowledging your original bias. every instance of this will earn you a strike. three strikes and you're out. (eg. if my bias is kaeya, and during the course of this game i like / reblog / mention him, i get a strike.)

sabotage: a sabotage is an ask / creation for the original bias of your fellow player that you can send to them to help them lose >:) you're encouraged to do so, in fact. fall for a sabotage, and you get a strike. i've seen people get really creative with this both in sending and answering, so go nuts.

strikes can be earned, as mentioned above, but they can also be gifted using points. (1000 points to gift a strike, allowed once a day. you'd have to send an ask to my inbox for this.)

each player can be sent a maximum of two strikes a day, and a total of four strikes throughout the game. this is so no one gangs up on one player, which is something i've seen happen in past games.

you can earn points by creating something ( writing / art / edits etc) for your assigned bias. each creation would be awarded a standard 500 points. lineart is the minimum for art, and a minimum of 300 words for a writing piece for it to count. more details on this in a later post.

selfship / platonic / oc content is okay.

you can also heal yourself using your points (1500 points per heal.) i'll go into more detail about points and what they can do before the ebg officially starts.

please tag me ( @soltuneia ) so that i can see your creation. points don't count if you don't because i likely won't be able to see it without the tag.

i'll keep track of these points and strikes in a post, which i'll edit at regular intervals so everyone would be able to know what they have.

whoever loses, i.e. gets struck out after three strikes, or forfeits the game in between, gets a penalty at the end. (usually something silly like reply to all asks with a meme for a week. will be decided at the end.)

no need to change urls if your username includes your bias, but please do change your theme for the duration of the game. having your original bias in your theme would also count as a strike after the first 24 hours of the ebg.

the rules may bend a little on the last day or two just to keep things interesting, but that will be announced beforehand.

send me an ask if you have any other questions!

disclaimers.

i know i'm hosting, but i wanted to join in on the fun as well. so while my writing blog is the one hosting the ebg, i'll participate in it over on my main blog: @glacialheart

so, to keep things fair since i'm the host, i won't assign my original bias to anyone so i can interact with the participants. and in addition, i won't put myself in the points strike system to keep it fair. which means i can't strike anyone out. you can strike me, and i'll only be able to heal myself with my points, nothing else. i'll keep everything in a public post as well so it's all fair.

please be patient with me, i'm also figuring this out as i go since this is the first time i've done something like this. so i might end up inevitably messing up but i'll try my best!!

sign ups:

just to be clear, this game will only happen if we manage to reach a minimum of ten participants. i think i'll close the signup form at fifteen participants. (in the case of further interest, i'll extend it to twenty, but ten is the minimum.)

in addition: if you're interested in taking part and feel like you won't have the time to join in, send me an ask! maybe we can work out another role for you.

please reblog once you sign up for traction. this is not compulsory, but it is appreciated.

— sign up here!!

thank you for reading <3 i hope to see you in the participants list, which i'll release with all the details and rules and anything else i've missed once the form is closed. good luck and have fun :)
