Near as we can figure, points are awarded thusly:
1 point:
Making the human use one hand to scoot the bunny away from what they're doing.
Forcing the human to move an item of interest out of reach of the bunny.
5 points:
Fully stopping the human from what they're doing. This can be accomplished in any manner of the game player's choosing, such as:
Forcing the human to use both hands to scoot/pick up the bunny.
Knocking over/stealing/eating the human's cleaning supplies.
Engaging in any action that causes the human to run to/chase after the bunny (exploring an off-limits area/picking an intentional fight with another bunny/attempting to destroy a belonging of the human in question).
10 points (instant win):
Creating an even greater mess for the human to clean up, such as:
Climbing into the hay bag and scattering its contents across the living room floor.
Jumping into the litter box as the human attempts to place it in the cage, scattering litter everywhere.
Biting a hole into the trash bag used for disposing of funkified litter.
**Note: Extra points may be awarded for creativity, sheer audacity and/or amount of havoc wreaked upon the human or surrounding area.
But what if one bun makes an extreme mess just as the other chews on wiring and then runs away after you go shoo them? By the scoring system, each bun gets 10 points. Who wins? Is there Overtime? These are the questions all bunnies all over the planet want to know for statistical record keeping purposes. Come contract renewal time, they have to be able to bring out numbers to justify an increase in treats.
ReplyDeleteFair point. In the event of a tie, the game goes into "near-death" overtime where the first bunny to trip the human wins. Generally, this is brought about by dashing in front of the human unexpectedly as they go for the vacuum cleaner, thus placing both bunny and human in mortal peril. The rules clearly state that each bunny has one shot at this and the bunny to go first is decided by doing the best 2 out of 3 games of flop-snuggle-binky (a bunny version of paper-rock-scissors). It would seem the more dangerous the game, the more fun it is.
DeleteI'm pretty sure that the end of the year score is used to determine who is alpha bun for the next 12 months.
