iModerate
« on: December 10, 2008, 06:04:21 PM »
I recently purchased a certain board game and I'd like to try an online version of said game.  I don't want to mention the name of the game but let's just say it involves choices.

Here's how it will work
  • First 8 people to claim a colo(u)r from the following list get to play
     
    • Purple
    • Yellow
    • Red
    • White
    • Black
    • Green
    • Orange
    • Blue
         
  • Play will proceed in the order in which the colors were chosen (first to claim a color goes first, second to claim a color goes second etc.)
  • I will randomly select a number between 1 and 6 (inclusive) instead of rolling the die
  • I will move your game piece on the board for you because you don't have arms or hands
  • Again, since you don't have arms or hands, I will select the card containing your choices
  • I will PM you with the choices you must select from
  • You will try to pick the choice that will be selected by the majority of the other players.  This may or may not be the way you would choose between the two.  You are trying to guess what the others will decide is best.  You will send me a PM with your choice.
  • I will then post both choices for the remainder of the players to choose and (hopefully) discuss at length here in this thread
  • Once I've decided that sufficient time has passed and the discussion is basically dead, I will reveal if you were correct based on your earlier prediction PM to me
  • Play will move to the next player

Edit:
There are challenge squares on the board which, in the regular game, ask you to do something silly.  In order to move to the next level (there are 3 levels) you must complete a challenge.  In this, the online - irregular - game, I will issue the challenge and it will be something like, "Post a link to the answer to this question using a reliable source: Who was the 18th vice president of the united states and from what state did he hail?  Bonus coolio point if you can provide the name(s) of any pet(s) that he may have owned." 
You will be given a time limit to accomplish the challenge.

Sound fun?  Let's hope so.  Pick your colo(u)r and let's begin!

Lame as it was, that was supposed to be a joke, by the way.

Ok... We'll play with what we have.

kanca: blue
Double: white
Novice: red
BS: black
12AX7: orange
Wunderkind: purple
ivan: green

If someone else wants to jion and grab yellow, that's fine with me as long as they do so in the first round.

ivan, I've rolled the die for you and got a 5.  That puts you on level 1 green.  I've PM'd you with your choices.  As soon as I get the answer PM back, I'll post the choices here for debate/discussion.  The debate/discussion need not be posted/commented in any particular order.

And away we go...

Have your name misspelled on your tombstone - OR - have them erect the proper spelling over the wrong grave?

When you answer, please indicate your choice and why you picked that one.

I would choose to have the correct spelling over the wrong grave.

For the most part, I really don't care what happens to my remains when I die. That being said, I don't think I'd be rolling over in the wrong grave if my name were on someone else's.

As far as having it misspelled, that might cause a ruckus with any of my loved ones who decided to visit my grave.

Correct spelling on the wrong grave.

I don't give a damn which stone is on top of me so long as one of them says the right thing.

I don't intend on having a tombstone, I plan on being cremated. If I had to choose, misspelled over the right grave.

It's a big deal to some of my family members to get the right grave. Since my last name is what it is we've grown to expect it to be misspelled in the States.

Ok... game is a total flop.  However, we can all have some interesting conversation based on the stupid questions in the box.

Preferith thou...
On a first date, wear a T-shirt that says, "I'm With Stupid"
  -OR-
a T-shirt that asks, "Who Cut the Cheese"?

I'm with stupid. You can limit direct damage with strategic positioning. Cutting the Cheese is AoE.

Well, perhaps I should have been more specific. Take, for example, my last girlfriend. She wouldn't get it. Maybe she would understand but I could definitely get away with it and come out looking golden at the end of the date.

That being said, I'm sure you would get it along with any other bright FBI agents.
