 icon Two Line Sentence (0)  
Here's a game I got from some old show that I still watch. It's called Two Line Sentence. What it basically is will be described down there.


I will choose the next three people that post here to be the gamers. The first two that I choose will get four lines. Two for each other. You can only say these two lines. Don't say anything else. The third person I choose will be able to say whatever he/she wants. There will also be a storyline to follow. I will choose that storyline when my gamers are here.

Oh fine! I'll tell the storyline!

[First person] will be along [third person] while hunting for the baboon [second person]. If that doesn't make sense, PM me, as I might take you as a candidate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that first and second person can only say 2 lines. First persons lines are these: [Line here] [Line here]. And second persons lines are these: [Line here] [Line here]. And thirds persons lines are these: [Every last word in the entire last language of the universe!!!!!!!].

That really doesn't look like it can work. A forum is a very poor medium for this kind of stuff. You must have noticed how the guys from "Whose Line Is It Anyway" use tone of voice, facial expressions and gestures. People have none of these things online, and frankly, even with all that, you need talent to make it funny.

Yeah. Either we can get those digital recording of voice to go along with the posts, or we can say what we mean. Hopefully, some of the people here know what talent is. And could use it.

But there is another option. Get the computer to learn talent in game shows and be able to speak to you what the post reads with the correct voice. But that won't happen for another 50-170 years. :(

50-170 years
That's awfully optimistic of you.

I have to agree with Maurog on this. I don't think this will be nearly as funny as you think it will be. (Frankly, its not that funny even when Ryan and Colin and Wayne do it)

Yeah. I think they do it perfectly. Almost too perfectly....
Uh oh. I think this is gonna be funny.. not. I don't think it's gonna be funny anymore.

Anyways, I think that 50-170 years isn't too long. Wait, optimistic? That means that it could be 220-340 years. Yeah, that will work. Long time but it's possible.

Wouldn't "Questions Only" be a better choice from "Whose Line is it Anyway" to do as a forum game?

Shouldn't there be a topic we have to follow like in the show?

Isn't DROD a good enough topic for you?

How would anyone ever lose the game in a forum though?

I suppose that you do something severally wrong, then get booted out of the game, then get modded down when you come back. Or you could just announce your loss, like in that game, The Game. (I lost a long long time ago)

Couldn't we have some sort of time limit between posts, as well as whose turn it is, being enforced by someone?

Ok. I will create a new forum game topic that reflects this status, and come up with an appropriate reward for the winner(s).
