[spoiler=Rules]1. As this is an unconventional medium for theatre sports we are limited in the type of games we can play. I trust, therefore, that when it is your turn to participate in a game, you will not spend hours composing your post. The very nature of theatre sports is improv and I'm going to trust you all.
2. The 'Audience' has some power over your scene, detailed below, but I would ask them to not contribute or comment unless they are 'throwing a red flag'.
3. General forum rules apply so keep it PG-13 please.
4. The points system is just for fun! There can be no winner so don't worry too much if I deduct 2000 points from you. (its a little like Karma)
5. Be random! Its part of what makes it so fun, don't stress that something doesn't make sence, just go with it.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Penalties]

If a scene doesn't appear to be going anywhere or is taking far too long, the Host can 'throw in the red flag'. The performers then have four posts to bring the scene to a logical conclusion and points can be deducted. The audience can also request the red flag but NOT throw it.

If a team member makes a comment that is rude, disrespectful, or hurtful to a specific individual, race, gender, or is otherwise offensive to the audience, the player must complete the scene with a large, brown paper bag above his/her posts. A point deduction is made by the Host.

Groaner
If a team member makes a particularly bad joke (a groaner) prompting the audience to post a groan in response, the Host may stop the scene and make the team member beg for the audience's forgiveness. The scene can not resume until the audience has forgiven the offending player.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Games]Bartender, Prison Visitor, Psychiatrist: Three performers arrive, one at a time, to sing 4-8 lines about a problem they have. The fourth person stands and replies to each in turn acting as a bartender, prison visitor and psychiatrist to the first, second and third performers respectively.

Hodown: Four players sing one verse each to make a complete song about a particular person/subject.

Quick Change: Two or three performers enact a given scene. Another performer says "change" at various times during the scene; the performer who had the last line must then provide an alternate line.

Scenes From a Hat: The host draws scenes from the hat, and any of the four performers may enter and develop that scene

World's Worst: A topic is given in the form of "the worlds worst [something]." The four performers post one-at-a-time with examples that fit the topic

Party Quirks: One performer hosts a party which the other three arrive at. The three guests are assigned odd personalities or characters. Whenever he/she is able, the host must identify what each guest is portraying. The guests enter one-at-a-time at the prompting of the host[/spoiler]
