Welcome to the third count to 500 game.

In this game players must use dice to count to 500 by doing the following

1. State the current number which the count has reached
2. Roll 1d20
3. Flip 1 coin

Counting works as follows

The count starts at zero and resets upon completion of a count. You add the number on the 1d20 but, if the coin comes up as tails, divide the roll by 2 (rounding up) and take the resulting number away from the count. Mods and admins (if they ever join) always take away a full d20 and therefore don't have to flip a coin. The count can become negative and if it ever reaches -250, the mods and admins win, even if they haven't contributed. Any post that doesn't count or makes a mistake instantly removes 20 from the count (or adds twenty if it's a mod or admin). Missing the current count is a mistake (but if you still add to the count, the addition or subtraction counts as well as the penalty). Back to back (p1, p2, p1, p2, like in count to 100) counts as a mistake as well as double posting. B2b still counts, even if a mistake has been made in between viable posts. B2b only doesn't count if there is a reset. Double posting is allowed if it is to repeat a roll of flip which didn't work (because it contained invalid punctuation, for example).

Reaching 500 results in a win.

Players may name their rolls in any way (as long as it is not intentionally offensive).

Players must also count their personal scores with every post. This will be the players total contribution to their side in the game, including mistakes. At the end of each round, the totals shall be used to update the leaderboard. These totals are for all games and will not reset upon starting a new count.

If anybody was missed, please say so.

Now, having reached the temple, you see the guardian disappear. You now go inside and start to examine what you find. There are large statues of the gods and ancient writing on the walls. As you go underground, you notice that the corridors split... You have entered a maze. You hear a laughing sound (sounds a bit like 'ha hi ha'). The guardian reappears, from a hidden door and leaves through another. The maze starts to shift around you, blocking the way out. You try to open the hidden door, but cannot. You must now go through the shifting maze, controlled by the guardian, in order to be allowed into the inner chambers of the temple.

7. I doubt that it is collapsing entirely. It is intact after centuries and the guardian wouldn't dare destroy it. This must be a trap, made to collapse. Also, I am quite surprised by the amount of posts here after only a few days.

0. It's just another way to shift the maze, vertically instead of horizontally
A bit of panic can't hurt either.
