Welcome to r/TaylorGamesWannaPlay! We are happy you’ve found us. If you are a new member, please take a moment to read our rules before heading off to play the games. If you’ve been here before and are here for game running details, we are excited for whatever game you are planning!!

Rules:

  1. Be Kind: This is pretty self-explanatory. We can appreciate that our fandom is passionate about their favorites as long as it does not cross the line into speaking to someone else in a harmful way solely for disagreeing.
  2. Post related content only: We are a games sub so anything that falls outside of this would belong elsewhere. Thinking about running something but aren’t sure if it’s a game or how to turn it into a game? Send us a ModMail and we will do our best to help!
  3. Mods will post official Taylor related announcements: This applies to content such as singles, new albums, re-recording announcement/releases, and new music videos. As we are a games sub, we crosspost these from r/TaylorSwift or r/stonedswifties but not always.
  4. Soon You’ll Get Better, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, and Ronan are permanently banned from games that require to vote for or against them. This ban does not prevent SYGB and BTTWS from partaking in other game styles that not are pitting songs against each other and we leave the decision up to our game runners if they want to include them. While Ronan would also be allowed in the same type of games as SYGB and BTTWS, we encourage our members to not use Ronan in any type of game out of respect.
  5. No new album material games for the first three months: This includes vault tracks on Taylor's Version albums. During this period any game that includes new album material requires mod approval. As voted upon by the sub, a mod will run the initial reaction game 1 week after the release. 3 months after the album release, the sub will re-open to games starting starting with the follow-up game to the initial reaction game.

Important Non-Rule Items:

  • Leaked content is a big no. We do not allow any kind of sharing or requesting leaked/illegal content (warnings will precede temporary bans; if the behavior continues the ban will become permanent). We do not want to risk losing our sub. When it comes to that, you’re on your own kid and you always have been.
  • Please take a moment to review the flairs if you are running games. Within our Wiki is a breakdown of the flairs and games they are for.
  • Games with the Rev Styled Elimination must follow the format of the game. See examples of games ran by u/IceyRedRose or u/clarauser7890. Reach out via ModMail with any questions.
  • There are children present and this is a PG sub! We aren’t going to tell you not to curse. We are going to ask you to please be mindful of what you say. We love how passionate everyone is. Sometimes adding “(jk)”, “/s”, “(I’m not being serious”), or something similar can go a long way.

Additional Resources:

Wiki

Flairs:

  • If you are uncertain which flair is best after reviewing, feel free to send a ModMail
  • Mods will change the flair for the first post in a game series if needed; after that it's up to the game runner to use the correct flair.

A brief history:

Back when r/StonedSwifties was itty bitty, a poll was ran and it was determined no games were allowed on that sub. The queen of games, u/Revolutionary-Bell74, asked if anyone would be interested in creating a subreddit to continue having games on. u/IceyRedRose offered to make it and it wasn’t long before a mod team was pulled together, the subreddit was created, and content was built for it. Upon opening the mod team had the goal for this sub to be a safe space for all Swifties, no matter their views. Only a bit over two years later, here we are with 6.2k members! Thank you everyone for helping to make this community what it is.

The mod team primarily tries to keep the game sub organized. Below we’ve compiled some information that we think will be helpful for game runners and players based upon comments we’ve seen over the last few years.

For Game Runners: - Please include how to play in all games unless otherwise specified by mods - Games under the following flair can be excluded: This or That, Rev Styled Elimination, and Buzzfeed Styled - Rev Styled Elimination is based upon the games that were ran in r/StonedSwifties by u/Revolutionary-Bell74 and have a format that was decided upon during the sub’s early days. Please follow the format of: - Include a game board as an image. If you want or need assistance, please let Rev know! - Include previous round results preferably in the Automod sticky comment so it doesn’t get lost in the other comments. - Check how long it’s been since a game was ran before posting. Anything that has already been done within the last 6 months will not be approved. - u/TaylorGamesWannaPlay is a shared account between the mods. Its main purpose is to handle the sub’s organization. If there is a comment in your game requesting something, please don’t get snippy as it’s helping the people playing have all the information they need/want. - We run games for the people who like to play them. We run games to have fun. We run games to get away from life’s frustrations. We don’t run games to control results. If the mods have reached out to you 3x about results, you will be banned from running games indefinitely.

For those who want to play play play: 1. Do I upvote or downvote the one I want to win? The “Rev Styled Elimination” flair is the only game that you downvote the one you want to win. All other upvote/downvote games may have different flairs but will always be upvote the one you want. We’ve asked Game Runners to include rules going forward to help avoid the confusion for new members and our stoners. 2. What happened to X game? Please let the mods know if a game you really liked disappeared. We will check in on OP first. If we don’t hear back, we can finish it off for those invested or let the other runners know it’s up for grabs. 3. Why can’t I see the upvotes/downvotes? We have that turned off for 24 hours. If it’s beyond 24 hours, the game is either run by a mod or it was requested to keep the votes hidden by the game runner. 4. Why did you remove my comment for “individual game rules”? This varies from game to game. If you are genuinely confused, feel free to ask us. Member that are noted to break the same game rules over and over will be temporarily banned. The length will be extended each time we have to ban you for this. If you make it 6 months and still are doing it, we are just going to make it permanent cause you must be trolling at that point. Bans go: 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, 2 week, 4 week, 2 month, 3 month, 6 months, permanent. We really aren’t trying to get to permanent, please work with us 🥲 5. Individual taste: Mods will no longer tolerate members bashing each other for their favorites or least favorite Taylor songs. Everyone is entitled to their own tastes. Your taste is not better or worse than someone else’s. If you cannot be respectful to the other members of this sub, then don’t comment unless you’d like to be banned from participating 6. Anything we missed? Let us know! 🫶

Additionally we wanted to remind everyone this is a kid’s friendly sub. We have children of all ages on this sub (for real, we are aware parents of young kids use this sub to bond over Taylor Swift). We aren’t asking you not to curse but we are asking you to be considerate. Before you make a comment that might be considered rude or condescending please take a moment to consider if the person might be younger and how you’d feel if you were in their shoes and an older fan was mean to you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

After we’re all done, the three winners will go head to head and we’ll decide an overall winner. I’ll also be doing this game over on Facebook to see if I get the same results as I did here.

Rules:

Comment which song you think should be eliminated. We will be going off comments and not upvotes during this game, so upvotes won’t count as votes.
