A Challenge to All Scratchers/Forumers

I challenge all scratchers/forumers to write a random fact at the bottom of each new post and topic they create. OR, if you are lazy, you can add one to your sig, and change it every 5 hours (excluding when you are asleep and on vacation), or you'll lose. The general rules still apply though.

Rules
1. You must use a new random fact- no stealing facts from other forumers. You CAN find random facts from the internet.
2. You must end the posts like this:

Example wrote:

RANDOM FACT TIMEZ!
A penny dropped from the top of a skyscraper could not kill someone (but could cause injury).
DO NOT RESPOND TO THE RANDOM FACT!

3. If you forget to insert a random fact at the end of a post, you lose.
4. If you'd like to participate, post here with something like 'I can haz participation?'
5. No responding to random facts, as that can de-rail threads.
6. Random facts must [obviously] be appropriate for all ages.
7. Mispellings are allowed.
8. To win, you must be the last person that is still posting random facts.
9. You must follow all the rules.
10. You do not need to post a random fact in this thread, but ONLY this thread.

BE HONEST! If you lose, post here with something like 'I lost the game.'

I don't know- the point was to have a new random fact every post/thread; I'm not sure how that would work in a sig.

You totally got this from my thread  big_smile
(No offense taken, this is nothing to do with my thread, but I inspired you, I guess, because the first one was in my thread and you got the Scratchers/Forumers  tongue )

Actually, I was inspired by the glories of GOOD GRAMMAR!

Kids, make sure you don't do drugs and have good grammar if you want to succeed in life.

Re: A Challenge to All Scratchers/Forumers

Technically, any fact can be random if you use it in the right (Or in this case, wrong) context.

I'm not so sure we should be encouraging this - it kind of turns the forums into a giant Text-Based Game, don't you think?

It sort of does, but as long as you can't reply to the fact, it won't be doing any harm.

Re: A Challenge to All Scratchers/Forumers

Question: If we accidentally use a random fact that someone else used, like we didn't read the post that they used that fact in, are we still DQ'd?

You'll only be DQ'ed if you steal the fact from them. If not, you're fine  big_smile

Well...I hate to rain on your parade, but this sure looks and smells like a text-based game.  Please use the Text-Based Games Forum for all text-based games.  Thanks!
