Guess the Thing
Everyone was on Facebook complaining that we're all a bunch of miserable shits, so I figured a game might help treat, or at least highlight, the issue.
If you've ever played that game where you stuck somebody's name on your forehead and tried to guess who it was (if you were playing with me, it was probably your own name), feel free to skip the next paragraph.
Basically, everyone gets given a person or fictional character, then they ask questions to the group that can either be answered "Yes" or "No", though the answers are usually more along the lines of "Sometimes", "You can't really tell", "They never talk about it" or "Er, let me look that up".
The advantage of doing this on a forum is that people don't need to wait about for their turn - everyone can ask their question at the same time, and anyone can answer.
Anyway, in the interests of brevity, I'll come up with the first few Things for people, before figuring out a way to open it up to the forum at large. They'll be posted in spoiler tags and clearly marked so the target doesn't see them by accident.
I'll just twiddle my thumbs for a bit while people volunteer.
Oh yeah, since there'll be a lot of back-and-forth, it might be sensible to adopt a colour so it's easier to see where people have quoted you.
