Heres a game that was played on another forum I used to actively post on....since I picked up hookah I havent been smoking cigars in a while so I havent been there.

Anyways it works like this, its all about passing some samples to each other. One person will ask a question, anything could be whats 2+2 What was the first flavor and brand of shisha I tired, to some trivial question. You guys get the point it could be anything. The first person to answer correctly wins. The person who asked the question sends lets say two 50g samples to the winner. The winner then asks a question and waits for another person to answer correctly and then they send two 50g samples and so on. Its a good way to try some new flavors or pass along some of your favorites.

There needs to be a few things for this to work though.
1. We need a mod for this, not an official one from the forum, but one who runs the game, I wouldnt mind doing so myself.
2. Need a about 10 or 12 people to get this started.
3. The Mods from the forum approval.

Let me know what you guys think, if I can get those 10 to 12 people going for this I will talk with the mods. Please give me some feed back, leave a post and PM if you are sure you are in for at least 2 rounds.

Once this happens, I will post a thread with the official rules and start of the game in the trades forum and I will determine with the group what a fair prize set will be.

Let me know what you guys think, also if anyone else would like to help run the game PM me.

or you could sign up for this. give the guy a list of flavors you dont have and do it that way


This is true, but then the memember might not have anything that person hasnt tried. We have always on the other forum we would always ask what the person doesnt like , so note to send anything they dont want. The object is to keep people from buying anything for the winner. But things happen, I can leave it up to the 2 invloved.

Im going to work on the rules now should have them up in a few mins or later tonight. How much shisha would you guys want to give away. I was either thinking 50g box or 2 50g boxes.

Rules.

All players need to PM me before joining. For new members to the forum I would like 50 posts before playing and two positive feed back in the trade reviews. I understand that not everyone will have 2 positive reviews right away.

This can be worked out, if you have less than 2 reviews as a winner your prize will be held till, you post your question and when answered you send out the prize once the person who answered your question receives your prize, yours will be shipped to you.

Once you have won around you need to wait at least 4 rounds till you can play again, this is to keep the game fair.

When you receive a prize you must give a positive review for the person that sent it to you.

For now I am going to say the prize is a 50g sample, of whatever shisha you would like to send, talk to your winner and see what they like and don’t like and work something out. If you want to give more than 50g go for it, this game is about trying flavors, brands and having fun. But everyone is required to send at the very least 50g of a flavor.

The prize doesn’t need to be brand new shisha but it has to be fresh! Sending dried out shisha or bad shisha will result in you being banned from the game.

Also not sending out a prize will result in being banned from the game, among other things you probably won’t want to show your face around the forums again.

If there is an issue pleases PM me and we can work it out. Don’t fight on the forums,

Shipping the prize should be in a timely manner, we all have lives outside of the internet things come up and we get busy. Try to send the prize out within a week of the round ending. Try the package the shisha the best you can, there are glade Tupperware that is 3 bucks for 8 containers that hold about 50g it’s the smallest size you can find. Try to use those for loose shisha, also this will help measure out the amount you’re sending.

I think this takes care of the rules, I cant think of anything I missed but if I did I will add it so these are subject to change. Also if there is something you guys think post it. I may be running it but its flexible, let me know I don’t have a problem working with around something.

Thats why you try and make the questions as hard as you can, and remember it doesnt need to be about hookah!

Also I think we have enough people to start. Im hoping some people will see the fun in it once its started and join in. Which they can do at any time. Im about to take an acct test so I will PM of the mods tonight and see how I should go about posting this game and maybe see if we can get a sticky. We might even be able to get it going tonight.

Just to make this clear there are unlimited number of spots, I just needed a few people to make sure that game could get going and grow, if only three or four people where playing it would be hard for the game to grow and move along.

Is there a one guess limit? or how does that work?


Thanks for bringing this up, I had forgotten about this. I would say one guess a day as a rule of thumb but the person posting the question can also set a limit.


BTW I PMed the mods to find out if this will be allowed, I dont see a reason why it wont be but I rather let them have a say in this before I push a head.

Also to my post before newbes can play, they just need to PM me first even though I would rather you have at the very least 50 posts we can work something out.

Im ready I wanna play I wanna play. Also....can we get prizes besides shisha, maybe like coals or something like that.

Im waiting on a reply from a mod/Admin just to make sure this is ok.

The different prizes could be done......I dont see why not other than it being fair for everyone else if someone just sends a roll of like rolland coals and then someone else sends shisha, you see what I mean? If there are other people that want to do more than shisha we can do it. Its really about the community and you guys Im just here because I would like to see the game going and join in from time to time.

I dont want anyone getting ripped off, this is about having fun and winning prizes.

On a cigar forum I went to and still go to from time to time. I was in their version of this game, the rules being that you had to send 3 cigars to the person who answered your question, the could be any 3 cigars just as long as they werent crap. Now most of the guys where pretty nice and sent out more than 3 cigars but it depends on the person. I got a few times a whole box load of sticks and return I sent out what I could.

I think for now we just stick with 50g of shisha but say you got used 50g of a 250 tub of cherry shisha and it just wasnt your cup of tea but you think some else might like it why not send that. You can also send along coals with the shisha etc...

This doesnt mean that we cant do other prizes I just want to keep it fair for everyone. Let me know what you guys think. As soon as everything is ready to you I will pm everyone that said they were in.

BTW when I mean sending 50g of something you dont like you cant be sending AF grape that tastes like ketchup or soex

Also one more thing anyone that wants to go first PM asap the first one to PM will be going first, like I have stated before I would like to sit out a few rounds to make sure everything is running smoothly, also I dont think the game would be fair for me to start out...since im still kinda new to hookah and have nothing nice to send out. But an order to MNH is going out soon since I need a mod and I will be ordering a few 50g packs just for the game.

I know this goes in circles but I just want to make sure everything is clear let me know what you guys think so far there is +1 on different prizes
