I agree. The interesting tidbits of information gleaned from playing this game right should be reward enough in themselves. :)

We need more threads where people act like idiots... the more they do it in there, the less leaks to normal parts of the forum. If we have stupidity, the least we can do is make sure it's organized stupidity.

Well, it does look like some people had fun with that thread, but I wouldn't be interested in posting there myself. A couple pages back in this thread, silver made a suggestion that I liked:

silver wrote:
when agreeing or disagreeing with the description, add something. talk about why it was right or wrong. if you don't have anything interesting to say, just don't post. let someone else post an interesting reply.

done right, this game is about getting to know our fellow forumers. done wrong it's a bunch of people saying "yes" or "no" followed by an overly general, lame description which elicits nothing we can't already determine from each other's profiles.

I'd like to play this game silver's way. But, as Blondbeard pointed out, with mod points involved, it seems that many posters prefer to guess something that is guarranteed to be correct, rather than something that is interesting.

I've tried at least once. Never really had the patience.

The next poster has played Oblivion. (Or any game in the Elder scrolls series.)

So would I. The problem is, how motivated will people be to participate. Is it better to have many posts, with a few gems, or many gems but few posts?

I honestly don't know, but Sillyman (the topic starter, and the person who made the rules) opted for the former, mainly because this topic was supposed to replace the 'Predict the next poster' thread.

So how about this. For the next 10 posts (after this post), the poster answering the previous poster will, instead of modding them up if they answer affirmative to them, mod them up if they think they gave an interesting question or answer. If they lack mod points, they can post saying so.

I'll start:
@Zonhin
I actually haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls series, RPG's are not my strong point. Ironically enough, I love hybrd RPG/FPSers.

The next poster is an asthmatic.

Let's see how this works.

Not really, though I do have a slight breathing problem. Nothing major though.

The next poster is double-jointed.

Nope. No one is truly double-jointed.

The next poster has a work-in-progress on the Architecture board.

Yeah. If you scroll down a little, you should see "TCB Tutorial". I just updated it.

The next poster knows Macromedia Flash.

Sure! Spaghetti's cheap, easy, and yummy. Ever tried it with peanut sauce, chopped fresh tomatoes and cilantro?

The next poster attended a graduation ceremony this month.

You're just a month early with the question!
In june my little sister will graduate 'highschool' (european version) and 2 of my study mates will end their study succesfully. Well, that's expected at least ^_^

Which makes me kind of depressed to see them leave while I won't..


The next poster feels lonely?

Lucid dreams are when you know that you're dreaming. I've been told that you can essentially do whatever you want while in them.

It's not actually that easy to do whatever it is you want when you're lucid dreaming--it's sort of terrifying, honestly, because you have to keep EXTREMELY CLOSE TRACK of what you're thinking.

--In other news, the Eighth could be real, if we believe the whole 'all possibilities must exist because quantum dimensions' theory and all that. But I don't buy it, so.

The next poster, on the other hand, knows why the pool is closed.

Because.

The next poster has had an awful nightmare within the last year.

(If so can you tell me what you remember about it? Dreams fascinate me.)

I think I did a while back, but I don't care to remember it.

And now that those 10 posts are up, the next poster agrees with me that there's not need to amend Sillyman's original rules.

I disagree with you. I'm always out of mod points, and those really boring ones that are almost sure to be right...:thumbsdown

The next poster has created at least 5 hold arts & published them.

Haven't made any hold art, and am currently working on eventually getting an update for my work-in-progress hold on the architecture board, "Challenging Caverns".

The next poster plays an online game regularly (at least once a week, same game).

Currently, all waking hours belong to me. I'm off for the summer.

The next poster is not interested in the return of Roger Clemens.

That's correct, Zex. I'm not interested in the return of someone I know nothing about.

I just wanted to say that I find Stefans post absolutely awesome, and it makes you realize how much repetition it is in this thread.

Now to something compleatly new! The next poster have brown hair :lol
No, I don't know why that guess has been made so many times.
