Blammo God

The Blammo Gods of CTY are the administrators of the game of Blammo. They are in charge of signups for Blammo, keeping track of and assigning targets, answering questions about the game, bringing and providing spoons, etc. They run the game.

Blammo Gods may have helpers, sometimes referred to as Blammo Angels, that help with the strenuous logistics work involved in running the game (or just get the Gods food during mealtimes).

Depending on how the Blammo God chooses to run things, it is possible for them to play themselves, and even win.

Because they are the Gods, they get to decide the rules - where and when is a safe zone, what counts as a legal kill, whether projectile Blammos, custom weapons, or other fancy stuff is allowed, etc.

While in theory the Blammo Gods should run the game fairly (randomly assigning targets), they have often been known to bend the rules. This can include allowing players to request targets, rigging selection so players get people they know, bringing players back to life, and allowing their friends immunity.

Session 1 Lancaster usually has two Gods that run separate games, which are merged during Final Blammo, while Session 2 Lancaster has a single God. The relic is a mustachioed stuffed yellow spoon named Gregory. The position is passed down at Passionfruit, with the new God(s) being initiated in a shower of blammo spoons.

Saratoga Springs

At Saratoga Springs, the session one Blammo God is a member of the Royalty. The relic is known as the Blammo God Crown, a cardboard and duct tape crown with a ring of plastic spoons around it. While all the other three session one members of the royalty have authority over Blammo, the Blammo God's decisions in regards to rules and kills are final. The position of Blammo God is tied to one of the Emperor slots and is subsequently passed down at Passionfruit when naming new Royalty. The relic of the Session Two Blammo God is a giant spoon that was first brought to SAR by Alisha Ukani in 2012.2. Since then, it has been passed down to Blammo God successors in a Spoonicorn ceremony at Passionfruit. For session two the winner of Blammo, if they accept, becomes Blammo God for the next year. If they decline Blammo God is given to second place and so down the line.
