I WONT LAST LIKE THIS

one additional thing, do keep in mind that replying to a sabotage along the lines of 'idk who (name) is. no clue who you're talking about,' is still a strike, because you mentioned their name. mentions of alternate forms also count as a strike, e.g. march + evernight.

speaking of sabotages, please do try to reply to all of them (only if you can, of course!) and if you can, try to sabotage as many people as possible >:)

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, they do not count otherwise.)

since i'm the host and the person keeping track of points and also playing, i know i may have some advantages. so, to keep things fair, i won't be allowed to strike people. you can strike me, i can only heal myself with points. + i haven't assigned my original biases to any one, so i can reblog all the creations properly.

each player can be sent a maximum of two strikes a day (counted from 2 pm UTC to 2 pm UTC), and a total of four strikes throughout the game, unless in the special circumstances mentioned in the last few rules. this is so no one gangs up on one player, especially in the initial stages.

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 / a clean sketch is the minimum for art, and a minimum of 300 words for a writing piece for it to count.

x reader / selfship / platonic / oc content / lore for your assigned bias is all okay, but it must reach the minimum requirements for points to be awarded.

you can also heal yourself using your points (1500 points per heal.)

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. + please also tag your creation with the event tag: hoyo ebg: july 2026. once i see it, i shall reblog it on ( @aimynx )

sidenote: though your asks and posts are fair game for anything, please keep your creations sfw. this is more for my own comfort and also for general safety, thank you. suggestive is okay.

whoever loses, i.e. gets struck out after three strikes, or forfeits the game in between, has to do a forfeit penalty at the end. (usually something silly like reply to all asks with a meme for a few days. i think, to keep things interesting, i'll let the person with the most points at the end pick the forfeit. but!! i must approve this first.)

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. if you have a theme unrelated to your og bias, you don't need to change it, but it would be appreciated if you could for the fun of the game. but i do understand this is a lot of work, so i leave it up to you.

special circumstances + notes:

do keep in mind that the wheel of misfortune feeds on chaos, and that the rules shall bend once a day after day 1. the day in reference for this is from 2 pm UTC to 2 pm UTC. i'll spin the wheel+ make a post for this. (it could be anything like awarding a 'free from ebg' pass for an hour, lifting the strike limitations, someone gets to gift a free strike, surprise bias switch, a chance to gain bonus points, who knows? the wheel shall see.)

to spice things up further, once a day after day 1, i'll spin the wheel again for a creation prompt. you'd be awarded bonus points on top of the regular points if you can participate in this within 12 hours of the prompt being posted.

apologizing in advance for this, all of the above would need me to tag you.

lastly, you can play the ebg without needing to create something, but that way you wouldn't be able to heal yourself when a strike comes your way, so i leave that choice in your hands.

i say this loosely, since the point of the game is to have fun, interact and create new stuff but, win criteria: survive till the end. (+ a ranking for fun based on who has the most points.)

once again, i know that i'm the host + i'm playing, so if you ever feel that there's a conflict of interest somewhere, i urge you to let me know. i want to keep this as fair as possible.

all biases are decided at random by the wheel, from a pre-determined list. i'm really very sorry if you don't like yours or if it's not favorable.

i had an idea to make an ebg hall of fame, so please submit any moments you think should be included in that in my ask box so i can compile them and make a post for it at the end, hehe.

for any other questions or anything i've missed, please send an ask. to contact me: for general game queries, please send an ask to @soltuneia. to sabotage, send it to @glacialheart

points.

500 points are standard for each creation. for writing, a minimum of 300 words. for art, all artworks should be lineart / clean sketches at the very least. for edits, that is left to my discretion. what i'm getting at here is please don't do something hastily just for the sake of points, please put actual effort in your creations.

1000 points to gift a strike. this can be given out once a day by each player, unless in special wheel-decided circumstance. each player can receive two in a day, four through out the game, unless in wheel-decided circumstances.

1500 points to heal yourself from a strike. no limits on this.

3000 points if you'd like to obtain a 'free from ebg for one hour pass' where you may be free of the ebg's rules for an hour and you're free to talk about your fave then. this starts ONLY when you have notified me of the start and end time (with respect to UTC) and i've approved. THIS CAN ONLY BE REDEEMED ONCE PER PLAYER.

i believe that's all.

before you go off to cause your mayhem, i'd like to thank you for participating, and also preemptively apologize for any hiccups. i hope we all have fun!!

i believe that's it. let me know if i've missed anything? when the game officially starts, i'll post the detailed rules page. till then, you have a bit over 48 hours to cook up any lore / stories you'd like.
