Penalty Games

[SilverUchiha]

This summer, a group of friends and I are going to attempt a week long "Let's Play" project involving a board game and filming it like a reality TV show. To add to this insanity, I want to add penalty games. Whenever a player loses home-territory (I.E. territory in their starting country) they must play a penalty game. The problem is that I'm not sure what penalty games to do.

So, escapists, what ideas for penalty/punishment games do you have. Please note that some participants may be under the age of 21 so anything related to alcohol might not be workable. Everyone will be 18 and up (to my knowledge). So any ideas you have, throw em at the wall and we'll see what sticks.

EDIT:

A couple of you have asked. So the project is going to be on the game "Diplomacy". Here are some links. I'm thinking of editing the rules so that whenever you lose a territory (home or not) you take a punishment... but that might be a bit much. Still toying with it.

I've never played a game with penalty games added in, are they like embarassing little minigames or something?

Essentially, if you mess up in the main game, yes. We make the player who messed up do something embarrassing.

Coincidentally, the game we will be playing has opportunities for multiple people to screw up. Multiple people doing penalties. Lots of fun with that too.

Penalty games, huh? Let me check my source material.

*checks source material*

...okay, penalty games apparently include mind-numbing hallucinations, blinding, immolating, and explosions.

As a side note...man, Dark Yugi is a bastard.

I can think of a few things, making people play leapfrog in their underwear.
Making them eat wasabi (that's borderline torture in my experience, but no real harm comes from it).
Actually having people do a lot of seemingly normal things in their underpants instantly makes those things embarassing, so there's that.
Have them read from an erotica novel.
Show them a shock site on the internet.
Have them do a music video set to a horrible singer/song.

That's all I got at the moment.

So THAT's what a penalty game is? I kinda wondered myself.
The first time i heard those words were in an anime, so i though it was a Japanese thing. I guess i was wrong.

And i think the penalty game the anime had is not a great idea in real life:

Spoiler

In the anime, the one who lost got injected with a poison that drove him slowly insane. He started to fear that something was after his life and eventually scrached his throat out and died.
So, yeah. Do not recommend

Yeah. It's a Japanese thing. I just like the idea (but taking out the drugs and excessive violence for something more legal and doable.

And I love these ideas. Totally workable.

Nah, that was unrelated to the penalty games, they were things like walking around town dressed like...

Spoiler: This -

However it doesn't work if the group consists solely of severely hairy males, and I'm sure there's a rule requiring a prerequisite of a Rika or Rena equivalent before this penalty game can be used.

nice, I thought it'd be Diplomacy. I've owned that game for a while but I've never had a chance to play it with anyone, it seems pretty neat

What is a "Let's Play" project?

The usual is to make one eat or drink something bad, like a cold coffee with salt and some spices. You should think of the penalties yourself, as it depends on the person what one is willing to do. If you'd want to make it entertaining as it sounds, make up something embarrassing. It really does depend on you who're playing it.

Maybe I should include this in the original post. Hm...

OT: Anyway, you make a good point. And I'm currently working on a list now. But I just like to get input from outside sources to see what horrid things all of our combined imaginations can really come up with. It's because I'm a sadistic bastard like that.

Why would you need anything to add to Diplomacy? But I suppose, if you must... I dunno, make them drink a lot of water and make them plan strategy while having to pee really badly? And then, if they use the bathroom before a certain time, they lose a territory or something.

Sure why not.

And to those who say it'd take too long... Diplomacy games can last hours. The time I played, 7 hours in the game had to be called... at a five-way draw.

True. It would radically lengthen gametime. On the other hand, we're planning on doing this over the course of seven days. Not to mention that the videos would be boring if all we did for the multiple hours of footage is talk. This is to give us incentive to really kick ass and give you an incentive to see us embarrass ourselves. I think it's win-win for everyone.

EDIT: And the punishment would be if they lost territory. Punishments probably won't result in additional loses of territory. That could be a tad unfair.

Well, then something else. Because there needs to be an option for that that's not wetting yourself or just holding it - some people get messed up that way. But it'd be funny for the viewer if they had to pee while planning Machiavellian schemes.

Well, this isn't a usual recommendation, but if you can track down the anime Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni they have some decent examples of penalty games like what you are talking about. It's mostly harmless stuff like drawing embarrassing crap on somebody's face or making someone wear a maid outfit and serve food to the rest while acting servile. As for an original idea, fill a medium or small container (such as an 8 oz. water bottle) with hot sauce and glug dat shit.

I like. Maybe if they lose 2 countries, they must drink a lot of water as one punishment. The second punishment is they can't go to the bathroom for (like) an hour or two. Something like that.

 

[masterjiji]

Also, how are you going to handle punishment(s) I think you should have a wide variety of them written on paper scraps and draw them out of a hat or something.

I got another one: make 'em drink bong water. I don't know if you know any potheads, but if you do ask them to start saving up bong water and then keep that around for penalties when the time comes.
