so battle royal it is?
i'll come up with the rules this week if anyone else is interested.
what i'm thinking is a bunch of people would start up on another forum unbeknownst to anyone (usernames stay anonymous)
and we just keep posting until we have clues as to who a person is.
we'd have to have some sort of protocol for guessing,(through personal messages i guess) and it would obviously have to be based on the honor system. but once one person is tagged by another person, they are out of the round, until we start again on another forum the quicker we are all tagged, the quicker we can start the next round (more fun for everyone)
hell, we could even have a cycle of forums we could just run through.
-- SAGI THOUGHT OF THIS AND WE NEED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO PLAY. IF YOU WANT IN SAY 'AYE'
We need a list and we'll post the rules later.

We need a list and we'll post the rules later.Battle Royale!! the honor system setup!
---------------------------------------
requirements:
--5-10 people, or something! more than 3 is ideal, 4 might only last a couple days...
--"home"/base forum (dxpnet)
--"target"/game forum (i need to research practical forums for this purpose... ideally, no ip reporting is all it should take.. that and a constant influx of newbies, so most likely top boards on board listing pages, we'll have to see)
that's about all that's required!!!
general overview and gameplay:
------------------------------
game starts with a "game" thread on "home" forum (dxp, in this case)
all players are listed with "home" s/n's (i would be listed as sagitTAUries, for example, tc listed as tc, etc. etc. etc.)
there will be a set amount of time upon information of which forum game will take place on, before the actual game begins. i'm thinking 3 days is a good amount of time, perhaps over a weekend. so if we announce that the target forum is "www.forum.com" or whatever, it would be announced 3 days ahead of when the actual game starts. this allows for scoping out, and strategy, and will let you join anytime in advance if you'd like to get a small "sneak" on the rest of the players.
since we can't have you making a userid and never posting, in an attempt to snake a win:
(this info is based on target forum statistics, so it's subject to change):
--you must make a minimum of (3?) posts a day (i'm thinking this is going to have to be uppped a little bit for most forums...)
--you must make a minimum of (1?) thread every 3 days (again, i think i'm going to have to observe the target forum to come up with an average that makes sense for that particular forum... does anyone have a better clue as to go about this? like i said b4, i'm terrible with creating details..)
annnndd... those are the generalities-- you can post whatever you want on the game forum, but you can't mention the game to anyone on the target forum. if you find yourself liking a non-player from the target forum, and you wish to interact with them realistically, you must disqualify yourself from our game beforehand, and then do whatever you want...otherwise you would become a liability to the game. (all rules apply to everyone, at any time... hence, the honor system, we will all hold each other accountable.. that's why i wanted the game play so short, so it's less involved and there is less at stake)
optional rule: first one tagged can moderate the rest of the game if they choose to (this might be pointless w/ the honor system)
ok, so those are the generals... here's where i made it a bit dicey:
specifics and categories:
partners:
---------
(for tc)
partners are acceptable! buuuuttt... you *MUST* use only one screen name. so two partners would have to share one screen name, and would be entered into the "battle" as one screen name. (see additional diversionary screen names for alternative solution below)
hints:
------
to make the game faster and more playable/interactive, we should add a "hints" section to the rules.. so in the game thread on the home base, we list each player, one after the other. the hints begin within 48 hours after the game begins. the first person needs to make some kind of hint about their identity (blatant--"my name rhymes with"... or subliminal--"i really like cheese"(if you just posted a recipe for quesadillas or something... that's pretty blatant if you ask me though..)
so after the first person makes the first hint, the next person on the list has 24(?) hours to make their hint, and then continue until the game ends... that's pretty demanding now that i think about it, so time frame might need to be re-evaluated, or just ignored... whhenever we can make a hint, we will? but it needs to be queued, we will need to go in an order to keep it organized...
(hints must be made either using

I met a scorpio who I THOUGHT was interested, but I just couldn't read him. Even though he contacts me daily, I'm just not sure what he's thinking.

There is this incredibly beautiful song called "Brighter Than Sunshine" and it's by a band called "Aqualung" (I think). I didn't even know it existed until I saw the movie "A Lot Like Love" recently. And I now must go and buy all the music ever made by
