So a new guy joined the workforce and he’s into Homestuck too. The manager gave us a task to do, but she stated only one of us needed to do it and she didn’t care who did.
We looked at one another and something clicked in our minds. He yelled “STRIFE” and at the same time, we went for the closest items to us and pointed them at one another. He snagged a pool cue stick, I a staple gun. He forfeited once he realized my long ranged weapon ousted his. He went to do the chore and I got to chill out at the counter. ( which was great since I had a limp )
We established rules later on, and how to play:
1. Both players have to lock eyes with one another. It can’t be a fleeting glance, it has to be decent eye contact. ( like a Pokemon Trainer deal )
– If there is more than two players, all participants have to be facing towards each other.
2. One player yells “Strife” so that the other can hear. Once it is called, each player has 5 seconds to obtain a “strife specibus”. A specibus is ANY ITEM that you pick up.
3. Whoever has the most advantageous strife specibus is the winner. If there is a tie of practicality in combat, rounds continue until there is a determined winner. YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY HIT SOMEONE WITH THE SPECIBUS. Good god that would be asanine.
– Practicality in combat goes as such:
a. Projectiles beat short range weapons
b. If two short range weapons are used, the length of the weapon matters.
c. If two projectiles are used, it’s a clear draw.
d. Projectiles CANNOT be items longer than a foot measured from its longest side (diameter inclusive), however, short range weapons have no limits. They also cannot weigh more than 20 pounds.
4. These guidelines are incredibly stupid but they can change at any time.
5. Food is an acceptable projectile and possibly encouraged.
6. Frilly toothpicks constitute as darts. Really bad darts.
