Welcome to Y49's Brotherhood vs Heta sign ups. We will be playing a brand new game called Beat a Bludger, hosted (and ref'd) by Professor Pirrip. The score is currently 1-1 as the two societies go head to head once again to decide who takes the lead.
How to Play Beat a Bludger:
- This game is similar to dodgeball, except played in the air with broomsticks, and every player armed with a beaters bat.
- Heta one end of the pitch, Brotherhood on the other.
- Edward will start by hitting out two bludgers. One to a brother and one to a sister, chosen by RNG and @ those players. Both players then have 24 hours to respond and have the opportunity to @ a player on the other team who must also respond in 24 hours and so on, and so on.
- There will always be a minimum of two bludgers in circulation at any one point and any player not eliminated can be targeted.
- If you are hit by a bludger and/or miss posting within 24 hours, you are eliminated.
- Additional bludgers might be introduced further into the game.
- The team with the fewest players knocked out at the end wins.
- The game will run for one week, extended in the event of a tie.
- If it’s a tie, we’ll go into sudden death and the next knockout decides the winner. If no one gets knocked out after a couple of days, then it’s a draw.
- If you’re tagged, you have up to 24 hours to respond. If you don’t reply in time then your character is out of the game.
- Make it clear in your post who you are targeting and you must @ them.
- If you don’t want to @ anyone, you can dodge or miss for RP purposes and stay in the game if you still post within 24 hours — just don’t write that you got hit anywhere!
- If a bludger is missed, it is considered out of play. In that case, Edward will use RNG to send another bludger to a player on the same team.
- IC - all players must have reasonable flying ability. If your character can't fly then Professor Pirrip will not let you play.
- Bludgers are altered to be less deadly than those used in Quidditch and hurt about the same as being hit by a dodgeball.
- A school nurse is present, and anyone falling off their broom will be shielded before they hit the ground.
- OOC - Any major injuries must be discussed with me and approved by admin prior to posting.
- You are eliminated if you are hit (even brushed) by a bludger or go over the 24 hour marker. No exceptions!
- Your character must be a member of the Brotherhood or Heta to sign up. If you are not a member and would like to play, please contact either @Teddy Pirrip to join the Brotherhood, or @Bailey Walden-Cade to join Heta Omega first. We have a two character per RPer cap sign up. Your two characters must be in different societies (one Brotherhood, one Heta).
If you'd like to play then reply to this post listing your character name(s) below and I'll add you to the list. You can sign up one brother and one sister max.
Sign ups close on 17th July.
The game will start on Friday 18th July.
| Brotherhood Players | Heta Omega Players |

Brotherhood vs Heta was set up as fun competition between the two societies. You can look back on the previous games we've played here: Tug of War and Musical Chairs.
