Game Forum Games PoisonedTomato
For the past few weeks the game forum has picked up in activity a little, not least due to some of the games and giveaways going on. Poison explores what has been being played and what could be to come.

Some games have been hosted by Staff, and some games have been hosted by players. Games and contests- whether they have been in the Off Topic Forum or the Game Forum have always played a major role in keeping players lively in the forums as well as giving ordinary players the chance to win a lot of money.

The number of games and contests in the Game Forum has picked up a lot recently and here are some of the contests that have been going on and will hopefully be more of in the future:

Bust Parties.

Nothing could be more old school Bootleggers than a bust party, these have been happening since the start of the game and have always been so popular that there is even an entire forum grouping for them in the Game Forum. They haven’t been seen much recently, particularly due to the number of low ranks around but a few have popped up recently. Interestingly, it’s much easier to win a bust competition now than it ever has been before as a lot of people struggle to bust so one lucky bust could get you into the prizes! It’s definitely worth joining and trying your luck.

Man vs Machine

This is a new game that is hosted by Aldarion- a very simple concept really; a player is selected by a random dice game, a trivia question or something similar. The player then selects an amount anywhere between $100 and $1,000,000. The computer also randomly selects and amount between $100 and $1,000,000. If your amount is lower than the computer's amount, you win and you receive the amount you selected. However, if the computer beats you and selected a lower amount than you, you lose and the game is over.
These games start at random intervals and are really easy to join and there is nothing to lose, so keep an eye on the Man vs Machine topic in the game forum!

Bootleggers Does...

This is an ongoing series of games where popular UK board games and TV games are given a bootleggers style twist and offer players the chance to win a lot of money as well as occasionally Guns and Protection, Rank boosts, and bullets.
Some games that have been featured in the series so far are:

  • Bootlegger Does Mastermind
  • Bootleggers Does Deal Or No Deal

    And coming soon:
  • Bootleggers Does Guess Who (featuring staff)




    These are just some of the games that are going on in the game forum and it is nice to see the community enjoying them and joining in with them. In order to keep these sorts of things going why not host your own bust party? If you don’t have enough money then why not ask for donations or simply have bust party for fun? You would be surprised how often people will join and donate.

    Finally, the Buzz are always happy to sponsor inventive and fun games; if you have any ideas for great games that can be played in the game forum and would like some money to give away from the Buzz then submit your idea as a contest entry and some of the best ones may be sponsored and will be featured in next weeks edition.
