This is a new IM game I invented. At the root of it, I suck at IM. At the root of the root I need a way to blow up someone’s spaceship because it is Blowing Up Spaceships Month on the wagon.

RULES:
1. To blow up someone’s spaceship, you must send them the following 3 instant messages, one at a time
<targeting>ur.spacehip</targeting>
<wrecked>ur.shit</wrecked>
<blowedup>ur.spaceship</blowedup>

2. You can NOT copy and paste the 3 lines of destruction code or any part of the code.

3. A spelling error counts as a miss. No blown up spaceship.

4. If the user is “away”, you can not shoot them unless they have sent you an instant message within the past 3 minute - UNLESS that IM says some form of goodbye.

Example: I send you an instant message while my status is some sort of “away” - for the next 3 minutes you can target my spacehip.
I send you an instant message while my status is some sort of “away” and then say “k, ty” or “ttyl” or some sort of short IM way of saying “good bye” - spaceship is NOT targetable.

5. If you are being targeted, you can stop the process by responding “DENY” before all 3 instant messages are sent.

6. Firing upon a ship that can not be targeted will result in you blowing up your own spaceship.

I’ll be adding new rules whenever I want if the game needs changing, but as is, this seems awesome.
