Balderdash!

Post by Oscuro_Sol »

I'm new to SYM, but I saw the three word game and Lowkei said that you guys post games up here... so I thought that might be fun, as I laughed my pants off at the things you guys thought up there. :) Poor oozae? :(
It's a lame suggestion, but it can be turned good pretty fast if you guys like the idea. I was maybe thinking a game like balderdash where you say a really obscure word and the other players try and guess what it means. Thoughts?
If you like this idea, then...
Blennophobia!

hmm so this means we post one word and others try to guess what it means? They have to be real words right?

Yeah, I guess if you want to do it that way. We can twist it a bit if you guys want :)

Guess again :D

** Oh, and no looking in the dictionary! :p

*** Almost forgot -- do you guys want to keep score, or would that be kinda dumb? Would lose track and stuff, might make it ... well, violent. I've read these forums! :p

For some reason, I don't think it'll work, at all. Not a good plan, I dare say.

Not very constructive, that's true. But hell, is the 3 word game good for anything? ;)

That might be a valid point, but at least everyone can enter the 3-w-g, unlike this game where you aren't allowed to use a dictionary (a rule I can't abide to ofcourse, but the dictionary didn't help me much either 'cuz what the hell is mucus?), while being asked terribly difficult stuff especially when you don't know latin and rare words.

The problem with this game, in one word:

Give us the gate key.
I have no gate key.
Fezzik, tear his arms off.
Oh, you mean this gate key?

[QUOTE=Darth Zenemij]Postfarming and SPAM!! Yeah! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]

I'm not necessarily advocating multiple threads replete with mindless spam. But, I would like to point out that the entire origin and creation of SYM *is* founded on the spam that was occurring in the BG2 Forum about 4 years ago.

As long as it is creative and has a level of wit or intelligence motivating it, I really don't get the problem.

For several months now we have been seeing a chorus (often by newer members who are unfamiliar with the history of this place) moaning and carping about "spam," and "post farming."

I don't like mindless stupidity (i.e posts where members feel the need to screech spam at the top of their lungs like a collection of baboons who have just discovered the remains of a safari picnic)... However, for crying out loud people, this is not a damn conference or some such. It is a forum whose very origins lie in banter and fun. At the very least, it has almost always had a balance of threads ranging from the very serious to the comic and absurd.

So, are you saying that Blennophobia is the irrational fear of spamming and postfarming, specific to new members of SYM? Because that's what I'm reading... ;) :D

lmao, I suppose blennophobia could have that kind of meaning! :D
Not specifically just newer members, though I do realise it comes across that way. ;)
Anyway guys, sorry for the outburst ;)
