I recently left a hot and heavy relationship during the first intense month. This is do in part to my prior beliefs being found within this community, and my lack of winning the game that my ex loved to play.
Mary’s Game. Brought to you by Milton Chadley.
The Setup
The set up for this specific game is rather detailed, proving Mary, for whom the game is named after, had alot of experience. First you have both agreed to play. This is important. Next, you take Mary’s respect and your self respect and you place them into Mary’s box.
Note: The female player will always take the roll as Mary, host the game and judge the results. However, much like ‘Who’s Line is it Anyway’, there are no rules and the points don’t matter. Your experience may differ.
The Goal
You must find your way into Mary’s box, where you will receive a short, predetermined amount of time in the box, enjoying mutual respect. In the beginning, the Mary may allow a short time with her box in order to build excitement for the game. This is optional. The Mary will then place her box on a pedestal, and play any amount of Mary’s Box mini games to judge and distribute the reward.
Note: The his and hers manuals are sold with the game, but his manuals are on backorder. Example: “Several times I have thought I was doing well, only for Mary to check her rulebook and determine that was false.”
The Mini Games
Suggested below are some of the games for the Mary to choose. More can be found and traded with other Mary’s Box setups.
Mini game
We Do Not Argue
The goal is not to argue. The challenge is presented by Mary who will begin any given round with off handed compliments and questionable statements. She will continue to escalate with generalizations, bilateral thinking, lies, double standards and then insults. If you maintain your composure you may be rewarded. However, in the event that you disagree, you have lost We Do Not Fight.
Penalty: Mary will go for the night, or shut you out if this is not an option. This can also be seen as a reward in some builds.
Mini game
I Was Gonna
This game is about suspense and mystery. You do not know when you are playing, not the challenge. However, once you have lost, you will be notified with, “I Was Gonna… let you into my box. ” You must then refrain from repeating the behavior, as you do not know when the next game will begin.
Note: The reward following “I Was Gonna… ” can be followed with interchangeable rewards, as they need not be materialized.
Mini Game
Are You Listening
This game is all about timing. Mary will wait until you are busy or distracted, often giving you tasks to prep the game. Next, she will make a statement or ask a question, without securing your attention. The goal is to be able to repeat back every word at a moment’s notice.
Penalty: You must endure yelling pertaining to but not limited to your ability to listen. Note: If you succeed, you may still be subjected to the penalty, and the yelling reduced to a lecture.
The game concludes once Mary has accepted a new challenger. Attempting to end the game yourself will initiate a bonus round, or Fight Round, in which the Mary will attempt to prove you are completely at fault. The goal however, is to minimize damages until the round has ended. Like a mini game, there are several versions of the Fight Game that may be played.
Fight game
Dodgeball
The goal in this game is to either catch, or dodge the projectiles, based on quickly assessed priorities. Remember: The goal is to minimize damages.
Reward: The game has concluded. You may now skip to the conclusion.
**Bonus Reward**
If you sustain injury or loss, you may be rewarded a last “breakup” visit to the box. This may postpone the conclusion of the game.
Conclusion
Note: If the game was played for any length of time, most of your self respect, and all of Mary’s respect should be absent from the box.
Once it has been determined that you are at fault, retrieve from the box the remainder of your self respect. Remove the box from it’s pedestal. Remember to return the box to your Mary so that she has a place to put her baggage on her way out.
Thanks for playing, and don’t forget to share and trade Your Own mini games!
If what you are doing is working, do not change a thing.
