in December 1st, 2008 @ 20:04Yeah! New thread! To quote, “Paker, anyone?”
From the last thread:I lay down the Golden Wung and end not just the round, but the game. All unclaimed Wung points go to the pot. I clear the board. Any player with no Wung points is given ten to start with. And…. go!
And as for point of view, Paker (AKA Iceland Hold ‘Em) sort of switches between RPG and H&H. By that, I mean that, when laying down a card, you say, “I lay down the four of Knaves†(NOT A REAL CARD) “and end my turn.†However, you can talk normally without having to put your words in quotes.
P.S.: I shall again be the High Bailiff for this game. You can refer to me as Piggy, the High Bailiff, Bailiff, or any other such term. I will not respond to Bailey or “Hey, you!â€
And a summary of the rules, as written by the wonderful POSOC:
Long Version: There are at least eight major suits: Herons, Hares, Hedgepigs, Roses, Eclairs, Peanut Butter, Chorley Cakes, and Muffins. These consist of the usual rankings: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (or Knave), 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (or Deuce). There are a multitude of combinations one can make from these, which create various effects on the game, and more are being invented all the time. In addition to the standard cards, there are several dozen rare cards, which either cannot be categorized into any suit (such as Anarchy, HPB, and Cheshire Cat) or are specialized variants of a suit (such as Wung of Jasmine or Mess of Eclairs), and have various specialized uses. These are also being invented throughout the game. A notable one is the Golden Wung, which can only be played by the High Bailiff and signifies the end of a round. When a round ends, all temporary rules in the previous round are made null unless otherwise specified.
There are a great variety of points, the major ones being Creativity Ceylon and Wung. Wung points can only be placed on the table by the High Bailiff. They can be brought into play when the Bailiff awards them to a player or when a player lays a claim to them. In the latter case, a claim can be challenged by another player or players. The claimants then battle it out for the wung points. Wung points, once in the hands of a player, can be exchanged willingly between players or captured from a previous owner in a duel.
Creativity Ceylon points can be arbitrarily created and awarded to other players once created, for acts of great honor or imagination.
All kinds of points can be placed at the four cardinal directions to create various offensive and defensive positions.Short Version: Make it up as you go along.
Let’s have some fun!

in December 3rd, 2008 @ 11:31Couldn’t we play “fetch” ?
Rules:
One player states a quote from a blogger (who’s been blogging for at least 1 month). The blogger who guesses it first gets 1 MBSBB point (=Muse Blog’s “Big Brother”). The player who answered the question gets the next to ask the next one. The quotes have to give you a clue as to where they’ve been said (only active threads) and are not allowed to come from alter egos or masked balls e.t.c. . If a question isn’t answered in a week, we go to the next one.Anybody game ?

in December 3rd, 2008 @ 11:41(4) That sounds like fun, but it’s a blog game, not one appropriate for the Muse Academy Student Lounge. I’ll create a thread for it, if others are interested.

in December 6th, 2008 @ 11:21Yeah. You don’t need to learn, because there’s nothing to learn. Just read those quick rules, and you’ll do fine.
All right, I begin the game. As I stated previously, all players with no Wung points receive ten with which to begin. The board is cross-shaped, with all extensions the same size. In the middle there is a circular bastion, neutral in status, with turrets placed at every 30 degrees.
Have fun!

in December 7th, 2008 @ 12:36Everyone, please put the number of Wung points you have after your name. For instance, Homo Floriensis should say Homo Floriensis (9 Wung points). Thanks.
Since this game is too slow for my taste, I lay down a bastion of the 4 through 7 of Herons, the Queen of Muffins, and the Ace and Deuce of Hares, arranged in a pyramidal fashion north-northwest of the West Tower by eight squares. I also create the Grandfather Paradox, in which any player that attempts to control the weather will fail and become disgustingly old for five turns. Play on, everyone!

The banananana bran nut muffin sprouts small legs and arms as a side effect and does the Maccarena (sp?) as a small side effect of the combination. Who knows what other mutations will occur?????

Hm…. after having the shrinking mutation card played on it, the BANANANANA BRAN NUT MUFFIN OF DOOM card continues to do the Macarena, but in about six more dimensions than before. Overcome with this, it explodes in the first dimension, and is now only doing the Macarena in Dimensions Two through Ten.

in February 10th, 2009 @ 20:37Attention from the Grand High Bailiff: I would appreciate it if we could stick to using more standard cards and less imagined cards. You can use them every once in a while, but they should be saved for special occasions. Work on using normal cards to make bastions and fortresses, creating special side effects. In a game a while ago (when Paker was still played in the H&H), numerous fantastic events occurred, including a vortex, an anti-vortex, and, eventually, a jam explosion, causing Paker to halt for several weeks as the residual burstings died off in the closet. That said, be creative, have fun, and play on!

in February 18th, 2009 @ 17:57*ahem* Please refer to post 77, if you would. Oh, and 85- A quintet would imply a combination of five cards. Perhaps I have misunderstood?
I apologize for my perfectionist behaviour. I’ll try to keep my nose out of this game more.
Even so, I can’t help doing a little something now and again. I lay down a bastion of the deuce through seven of muffins, the three, five, and nine of herons, the six of hedgepigs, and a Royal Flush (ten, knave, queen, king, and ace) of roses to create the Hodge-Podge Parapet, in which is held an astounding 25 Wung points, which can only be obtained with a nod from yours truly after a valiant and Kosher attack (figuratively speaking). I also institute the Alice’s Restaurant paradigm, in which the board will reverse itself at seemingly random intervals. Play on, all you lovers of Iceland Hold ‘Em!

in February 23rd, 2009 @ 18:3996- I’m not sure if cards would work, as in the traditional game, I was thinking sentence structure or word composition. Like a form of very short RRR, where each person contributes a word. Then each word would gain you points if it had, say, double letters, but needs to make a grammatically correct sentence.
That’s just one possible method though, I’m interested if anyone else has other ideas.

Like: “No, sorry, but that’s against the rules. Subtract a point”
A new rule each round would be good, but limiting players would be detrimental to the health of the game.105- Yes, I can see how that would get confusing, but as noted above (90), Paker is a bit low at the moment. The gameplay would be very different to read also, so I don’t think differentiation would be difficult. Anyways, Paker is the calvinball of cards, is it not?

Alyss (the green one)
in February 24th, 2009 @ 05:33106- For example, if the game sentence is going like this, “He went there”, and there was the most recent word played, he/she would have to type below, “Kokopelli throws a pie. +2 points” But the hard part would be figuring out why you must say that. Because there has five letters? Because it starts with t? And then the game would continue, with the mau master(mistress) regulating. If you don’t say the correct response to an already established rule, you lose points.

After some consideration, I play the 4 of Peanut Butter, the 7 of Chorely Cakes, and the 2 of Roses, creating a troop of 13 Peanut Butter Rose Cakes. The Queen of Herons also is played, to command the Cakes, thus making them the Heron Rose Cakes, armed with Peanut Butter. These assail Cat’s Eye’s sugar granules.

Peeling the tin off, I give it the evil eye and scrape the whipped cream off the plate to aid my sugar granules. Since so much sticky, sweet stuff has collected around my wung points, this attracts a troop of Ants, who begin to cart it off to feed the Ant Queen. I counter the Ant Queen with my old Queen of Roses and her Knave, which together manage to subdue the Ant Queen and take her little Ants to be a border patrol.

My Heron Rose Cakes attract the the ants to defect with their Peanut Butter weapons, thus creating twelve divisions of the army, each commanded by a Heron Rose Cake. The Queen of Herons commands the entire army, and leads a lightning thrust into the center to rescue the Ant Queen. With the Ant Queen sitting on her back, the Heron Rose Cakes become the Rosy Ant-colored Herons, armed with Peanut Butter Cakes. Following my forces back to my fortifications, I speedily set my Ants and Hegepigs to digging ditches, while dousing the dirt directly outside with water.

Having no good idea how I got three extra Hares, or where the bow ties come from, I play the Tree of Roses and the Three of Muffins, thus creating Peach Muffins, (Notice I said ‘tree’ rather than ‘three’, and peaches growing on trees and being relatives of roses, I believe, this creates Peach Muffins.) to arm my Hares with. I hand them all out, and send my Peach Muffin-armed Hares out to the outer line of defenses, and end my turn.

When the Peach Muffin Hares are distracted, the Doughty Maidens lob lots of dough at them.
Meanwhile, I deflect public like a frog’s attack with an 8 of Eclairs, Chorley Cakes, and Peanut Butter each for a twenty-eightito, divided into four troops. Each troop has two Eclairs, two Chorley Cakes, and two Peanut Butters, and they are all led by a Golden Muffin. To the fray!

in March 21st, 2009 @ 11:52Having no patience for long lists of cards, I stare at the plays above me for a while. After figuring out, to some extent, what has happened, I play the Double Eight, doubling all my units, and adding a Purple Transporter to their midst. The Purple Transporter transports everyone to an alternate dimension, whirling in color. Unfortunately, the portal remains open, allowing other to come through. Noticing this, I play the Ten of Peanut Butter, and set my Hedgepigs to coating the outside of the Portal with it.

The Weasels somehow absorb the original growth, and are bigger than ever. Deciding to retreat, I play the King and Queen of Sorcerers, who band together and cast a complex shield around my forces. This shield, while protecting them, also brings in to play one Extra-Small Chess Queen, who brings with her a ULTIMATE CHERRY OF DOOM and throws it. It hits the Two-Foot High Mongol Horde, and a bright flash of light fills the room, a bang so loud it can’t be heard, and out pops—
A Regular Cherry.
Dumbfounded, I double my efforts on my shield, and, staring at the Cherry, I end my turn.

*watches card as it glares at me*
Please ignore the card and it will go away.

in March 23rd, 2009 @ 10:11I scream in terror at the fifteen HPBs that pop up, the Improbability field still being in play, unless the probable has happened. My forces immediately retreat back to their safe fortifications, now even further fortified by the shield. Still cowering in greatest fear, I end my turn.

I then attack cat’s eye with a 5 of chorley cakes and 2 of eclairs.

Errata (13 Wung Points)
in April 8th, 2009 @ 10:10I carefully observe the round, wondering what my next move will be. After a moment, I play the All card, which does absolutely nothing, but looks quite nice, with all its swirling colors and pictures popping up now and then. While you are distracted, I take a Ham Sandwich, contemplate it, and, after some thought, I give it to my loyal Ants, who swarm all over it. Having completely lost who has what, I play the Simplifier card, which removes all my troops, except for the Rosy Ant-Colored Herons, (armed with Peanut Butter Cakes) the Queen of Ants (and her Ant army) and the King and Queen of Sorcerers. In other words, it removes all the cards I have forgotten about. It also removes all the cards, defenses, etc. that are forgotten by the ones who played them. I have my Queen of Sorcerers pick up the Extra-Small Chess Queen, who now has little use, and turn her in to a Normal Chess Queen, which is usually called a Chess Queen. She pulls out Chess Pies, (also known as Buttermilk Pie, I believe,) nearly as good as custard pies for throwing, and hands them to all my troops. They gather around the Pillar of Dasugar, and hold their Pies in ready position. Waiting for an attack, I end my turn.

I then prop a book under one leg of the table so that it’s slanted and my Hedgepig-ball rolls downhill towards Errata’s forces. Being tiny, it manages to squeeze between two Ants and roll towards the Pillar of Dasugar. I hastily remove the book, and the Hedgepig stops rolling. I then end my turn, flipping through my cards and wondering who to put in there to aid it.

I then play a 5 of kilts, give them to my herons, and dub them the black watch. To accentuate the black watch, i play a baker house symbol special card and give the title of official royal piper. I leave my hedgepigs to fend for themselves and order the black watch to attack the pillar of dasugar. The improbability drive spits out another mongol horde, this one with rabid moles on their heads.

in May 3rd, 2009 @ 09:42Hm. Rummaging around some old threads, I rediscovered the origin of Paker, which I think would be interesting to modern Paker players, as it could bring back old traditions. It can be found here, and it starts on post 221 (my apologies; I can’t remember how to link directly to a post). POSOC coins the name Paker in post 299. I like the creativity of the early Paker rounds, and didn’t remember the number of nonstandard but sane card there were. I also miss having Paker at the H&H.
I think I shall hereby reinstate Creativity Ceylons for extremely creative moves instead of using wung points for everything. I also think using more comestibles as playing pieces would be interesting. But please, people, keep this game mature. I know we’ve been unceremoniously ousted from the tearoom, but we should keep some of the class. And I beg you all: remember that this is a game, and should be played as so. It is not a war game, nor is it overly random. Read through the first few rounds on that old thread, and, if it appeals to you, play in the olde style. Or, if it doesn’t, keep on how you are.
I play the Golden Wung and end the round. All unclaimed wung points are withdrawn and all bastions flattened. Feeling creative, I turn the board upside-down, returning it to its original state before the Vortex many moons ago. To honour the rarely-seen Master Baker, I set up the board according to his instructions for game one, round five. “The only restriction I am introducing is a Concretion of Roses in the centre, Ace to 7, stacked vertically, surmounted by a Legerman’s Croak (3, 4, 5 of herons, 3, 4, 5 of hedgepigs and a Chorley Cake in a cartwheel pattern). This will pinch out simple lateral and longitudinal plays on the cardinals. You’ll need to be inventive. Other than that, anything goes.”
Does anyone else think this thread is too hard to find? I asked to have it put on the DFTT list, but I still don’t think that’s enough. I suppose Paker’ll never be as popular as it was at the H&H.

in May 3rd, 2009 @ 10:20Sorry, Piggy. The H&H was created as a haven for MBers who felt the blog had become too big and impersonal for thoughtful conversation. As exciting and fun as it was, when Paker took off so quickly, it drove out all other conversation. Afterwards, it seemed that the non-Paker players had wandered off and few others remembered what the H&H was about.

If there were seven heirs,
Would they have seven airs?
This induces the Law of Bad Poetry, which creates an iron-rich river colored rusty red that divides the table in half.
(Thanks for the origin link, Piggy! It seems that in the beginning Paker was mostly describing your cards. I’ll try to keep it Pakerish without doing that… Paker IS hard to find. I hate having to scroll down a ways to find it.)

in May 3rd, 2009 @ 20:32Well, at the very beginning, yes, but it quickly morphed into the Paker I first knew.
How would anyone feel if I decided to ask one of the GAPAs to move Paker from the abandoned lounge to a separate room in the H&H? That way, it would still allow for calm conversation in the normal H&H, but Paker would still be affiliated with the establishment. All it would require of a GAPA was a new thread with a new name and possibly a link in the description of the H&H to the side room. This could either make Paker even more difficult to find or make it much more popular. Opinions?

I play a 4 of Titans, and four bouncing orange spheres began racing around the table . ((maybe I shouldn’t have invented a card.)) They left a faint orange trail of methane and nitrogen. But then the Titans began to turn into oranges. One fell into the nice broken part of the table.

in May 6th, 2009 @ 13:41Despite the valiant efforts of Piggy, this game is becoming increasingly random. Let me see if I can bring some order.
Four, five, six of herons, alternating with coresponding hedgepigs. Single Inverse rotation, then Queen of Chorley Cakes. That produces a concatenated pseudo-bastion, locking the centre and nullifying any non-standard cards. It’s similar to Mitrand’s Gambit, but less absolute on the diagonals. Attack the centre at your peril, and beware the Cross of Nines.

Paul Baker (Administrator)
in May 6th, 2009 @ 17:09189 – Ah, well spotted. I actually played only the five and six, using your four as an implied universal, based on the north west diagonal, and anchored to the central rose concretion. That’s why I could only manage a single inverse rotation.
You would be perfectly within your rights to challenge, but I would then play Knave of Eclairs, establishing a linked array along Ã߀ƒ’s cake bastion, which would be very difficult to assault without specials.
You could, of course, make an appeal to the High Bailiff, citing something like the Corvus Precept, or maybe Sloan’s Dichotomy. If Piggy is in a good mood, you might end up with a few Wung Points.

I slam a 4 of hedgepigs and a 2 of roses onto the table. As the table suddenly has an epiphany, I contemplate what I shall do next. A large 42 is bouncing across the table and gets stuck in a pie. It must be destroyed! I play a four of Hares, and the bunnies (No, not pink) eat the pie and release my 42 to do its bidding….((I think that was a complete epic fail….

in May 6th, 2009 @ 19:13Master Baker! It’s so good of you to stop by and help me. I’m nowhere near as good a High Bailiff as you, but I suppose you’re too busy to completely take over the duties.
Wanting to make this game more… interesting, I instantly see the perfect adjustment to make. After seeing Master Baker’s single inverse rotation on the central rose concretion, I remember a long-lost technique in the game: fractal analysis. I decipher that there are a few fragments of the marmalade singularity left, which I can use to expand the board. You may think that a singularity would actually shrink or even swallow the board, but not in my plans. I carefully lay down a knave of hedgepigs, a seven of peanut butter, and an eight of muffins across the third quadrant near an unregarded bastion of herons with a slight flick of my wrist, turning the board a billionth of a billionth of a degree anticlockwise. The 42 instantaneously melts into the board, waiting. I’m sure you all realise the ramifications of this move: every card has been turned on its head, thus bringing the game into a pseudo-lounge. Of course, I don’t have to explain what this means; you all are quite intelligent, I’m sure.

Have you thought of playing roses, and building on the concretion?

in May 7th, 2009 @ 13:14195 – Well, I couldn’t stay away for too long. Not when a game of Paker is in progress. You’re doing a grand job as High Bailiff. That miniscule rotation was inspired, although perhaps a little cautious. By my calculations, you could have gone up to 0.86 degrees without destabilising the board structure. But that’s according to fractal calculations, which I never quite trust in Paker. Besides, I completely failed to spot that bastion of herons, so I think you should trust your own judgement.
I love the pseudo-lounge. Are you going to declare a colour? Or maybe Harlequin it by quadrant? That would set a few brains churning.

I kick Cyndi’s soccer balls away, using a special kick that sends one flying into the window. Oh deary me. However, since the window is of special reinforced majickalrubberofspecialness, the soccer ball passes through and reappears stuck to the ceiling, with its own gravity around it so that, for the ball, the ceiling is down. This creates a Gravity Anomaly of Doom.

in May 7th, 2009 @ 20:21199- I can’t exactly remember the various sines, cosecants, etc. for a pseudo-lounge, but I seem to recall something of a Wung Effect, i.e., it appears different to different players. As for my minuscule rotation, it was inspired by The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by, of course, Douglas Adams, so we may well be in Valhalla right now. I couldn’t be sure, although there does seem to be a smell of mead about the air.
200- I’m sorry, but Master Baker’s concatenation has nullified all special cards, so… every card you played (and their effects) are rescinded, as are the effects of Cat’s Eye’s post 201. Sorry.
New players, please read post 2 for standard cards which are playable under Master Baker’s connivances.

He uses his minion (the 5 of Eclairs) to create a Pastrification Ploy, which erects a complicated defensive army of pastry cards (Eclairs, Muffins, Chorley Cakes, and for some odd reason, Roses) around my wung points. The Pastrification Ploy can only be disabled by the rare and elusive Queen of Muffins, who is not often dealt or played, as her effects with other cards can be unpredictable and explosive. Literally. And believe me, I don’t use the word “literally” lightly.

in May 13th, 2009 @ 07:53210- It’s not Cindi’s fault. En just needs a lesson on how you play Paker.
1st step: Find Paker thread.
2nd step: Post something.
3rd step: Forget Paker thread.
4th step: Remember Paker thread.
5th step: Repeat steps 1-4 as many times as desired.Ah, so now I cannot play an unusual card? Well, I shall have to deal with that.
Pondering over the current board, since I have ignored it so foolishly, I play the Three of Roses, Four of Chorely Cakes, Five of Hares, and Six of Hedgepigs. These all perform one cartwheel, and begin waltzing to some violin music that comes out of nowhere- Or perhaps a Hare is playing it. Who knows? Anyway, this creates the Asurd Effect, which summons one element from the last game, though it occasionally brings another along, due to Hypothy’s Lay of Companionship*. Out of need to retreat from the computer, I have only time to mention that the Elements called are the Pillar of Dasugar, and, due to the Lay, the Chess Queen, still with her Chess Pies. Farewell!
*Lay is the archaic word for song.

Errata (13 Wung Points)
in May 15th, 2009 @ 07:23It’s the general way to do it. If you keep checking daily, you just get frustrated that nobody’s posting. Of course, one post does tend to follow another, due to the sidebar. Sorry, Cyndi! I carefully made sure about the ‘i’, but forgot to check on what turned out to be a ‘y’.

Errata (13 Wung Points)
in May 19th, 2009 @ 16:55We play Paker, a game consisting of complete randomness. You know, about three minutes of reading would be much quicker for everyone involved then posting ‘What do you do here?’ on every thread. Or most of them.

Cat's Eye (20 wung points)
in May 19th, 2009 @ 20:49I take a chorley cake and eat it. Oh no! I suddenly discover an allergy to chorley cakes, which makes me turn blue with orange and lavender spots. My blueness seeps into my next cards, the 4 of Hares, the 10 of Muffins, and the Ace of Roses, which I place in the north, southwest, and east respectively. They create a Gravity Anomaly of Doom to replace the Gravity Anomaly of Doom nullified by Master Baker’s rule. This Gravity Anomaly of Doom turns all offensive cards with an odd number of their suit upside down. I doubt this changes the game much, as most cards look the same upside down and right side up, but it was still fun to perform.

Bluefire27 and Drake (-_-) (10 wung points)
in May 22nd, 2009 @ 16:20Piggy, do I get more wung points if I have a wung?
“I place a wung point on the North battlements and play four Deuces; one of Earth, one of Water, one of Wind, and one of Fire, and end my turn.”(We are allowed to make up suits right? If not, the four Deuces are of Roses, Herons, Hares, and Hedgepigs.)

in May 22nd, 2009 @ 16:31I play a 4 of Hedgepigs and a 8 of Eclairs, and a 6 of Muffins. The hedgepigs mix the eclairs and muffins together, to make the Un-Chorely-Cake. The hedgepigs carry the Un-Chorely-Cake to Cat’s Eye and feed it to her. The infection seeps away into the ground, spreading into the chorely cakes, which are now lying on the field. DON”T EAT THE CHORELY CAKES THAT ARE LYING AROUND! They are now considered toxic.

in May 22nd, 2009 @ 17:39220- Unfortunately, Wung Points and wungs are alike in name only, so no, you don’t. And I’d rather you kept with standard suits as Master Baker’s move is still in effect, as is mine. All nonstandard cards have been nullified and will be until I say otherwise. So basically you’re free to use them, but they will do absolutely nothing. Sorry.
A slice of Battenburg along the nineteenth parallel should brighten things up.

Cat's Eye (20 wung points)
in June 8th, 2009 @ 19:08I lay down a King of Roses, which (of course) is blue. Since it is a King, it orders the walls to turn blue, which they do. I am still blue from my Chorely Cake allergy episode, so I blend in perfectly. This allows me to fade into the background like a stealth ninja. STEALTH NINJA! HOORAY!

in June 18th, 2009 @ 19:18I come back, and play the cow of golden sunlight. This cow prances around the table, turning all the cards into Wung-Birds*. These fly to me and rest on their shoulders. I then put them up for adoption.
Here they are:

Enceladus and Nimly (*.*) (10 wung points)
in June 18th, 2009 @ 19:35Ah, cake. I didn’t see the unusual cards nullified bit.
My real move:
I play the 7 of hedgepigs, and the 8 of chorley cakes. These come out of the cards, and prance around the table, singing operatically to Piggy, asking him to give me 10 more wung points. (I have only 10 now)

in April 8th, 2012 @ 22:39What is going on is Paker, oft described as the Calvinball of Cards, an activity which I’ve rather given up on successfully resurrecting. It was a game for a different time, if the revival attempts the last couple of years have anything to show. If anyone wanted to give it another go, they’re welcome to try.

in April 9th, 2012 @ 10:07I’ll help. But the Wung Points might throw off our post count. Maybe we should keep track of them in the post field instead?
I flourish my hand to reveal seven cards. I take the king of herons and the 2 of roses. A monarchy of roses is created, fluttering around the table and flipping over people’s cards.
