I'm a pretty uneasy about posting a thread advertising a user group, but I was hoping to tell more people about it and here is the best place for forum games after all.[/small]

A user group dedicated to escaping the maze of snakes and ladders that plague our lives. Join now for the most thrilling game of your lifetime!
[HEADING=1]Welcome and rules[/HEADING]
Welcome traveller you have, sadly for you, fallen into the abyss of snakes and ladders. Escape is the only goal.
[HEADING=2]Rules[/HEADING]
----------------------------------------------------------------
The goal is to reach the top of the board.
Each user will roll a D6 dice, in the chat, and advance that many squares. I won't accept incorrect rolls; D20 ect...
You start off the board so square 1 counts as your first move.
Landing on the bottom of a ladder square will move you to the top of the ladder while the top of a snake square will do the opposite.
You are only allowed three dice rolls in a day- You may roll again after then next sunrise from your previous rolls. Praise the sun!
You have to roll the exact number when landing on the final square. Any excess moves will cause you to move backwards from the goal. Say you are three squares away from the goal and you roll a four. You will move the three squares and then one away from the final square
I will keep score of everyone's positions and amount of rolls. You're on your own this round. The person who has reached the top in first will be the overall winner; receiving accolades, bragging rights and the scorn of all other users.
See below for the rules to dueling other players.
You are welcome to start again when you reach the end.

Feel free to chat and make merry but remember escape is the goal!
