4 Square (continued)

Alright, so you got the field set. Now what?

Players

There is a minimum of 4 players (5 recommended), and no maximum

Referee

Alright, mock me all you want. I am a ref, so I always put ref above everything else. Anyways, the ref is resposible for fixing all disagreements, along with managing which player is out, and enforcing the rules. In some cases, the first person in line is ref.

King

The highest rank player (apart from ref), he also serves as ref if the ref is not availiable. The king gets to serve the ball, and to be in this rank is the ultimate goal for all the players. The king gets 5 strikes. Each strike is defined as a bad serve, broken agreement (ie. no cherry bombs), inappropriate conduct, etc. Note that the other players can also get strikes for inappropriate conduct, and you carry your strickes with you until the end of the game.

Queen

The second highest player, she can help the king make decisions if there is disbutes due to his judgement.

Jack

The thrid highest player, the king MUST serve the ball to him if you are playing straight game.

Trash

The lowest rank player actually playing. If you are in line and you are in, you must come to trash. The only advantage is that you are less likely to be targeted by other players.

People In Line

If there is more that 4 players actually playing, if you are out, you are going to have to wait in line until you are back in the game. Note that when you are here, you can still recieve strikes for inappropriate conduct. Also, you don't have to do any actually playing here.
