We can't have forum games

You can use wonder posts and twisting words as much as you'd like. I still don't think it would be possible to have forum games here

    Not that we really need them. TvTropes's Forum Games Jumped The Shark a long time ago.

    Round the time the Forum Lust Game became exclusively genderbending.

    Or around the time they all became "Do X to the above person" with a "Do X to the above avatar" snowclone.

    Well I'm sure we'd have FAR more MATURE and SOPHI-Ok I started laughing around this point

    Forum games have never been good, on any forum.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    Shit, that reminds me I need to update my thread there.

    I liked the original Controversial Statement.  That kind of game happens here, but somehow it's never as funny anymore.

    The old Troper Shipping thread was fun, but I heard it jumped the shark.

    Last Person To Post In This Thread Wins was a pretty epic wonderpost thread until Fast Eddie shut that shit down.  We could probably manage something like that here.

    The other FG thread I remember liking a lot was Who Are You People?  What Is This? but that was mostly because of the epic derail.  Oh, and Snail Is Stupid was funny for the first few pages, but it got old fast.

    ITT: Vorpy Tries to Count to 19 is kind of similar to the counting games that were there at one point, but those were more recent.

    I liked the old Forum Games because they felt more personal. I could get fun, relevant responses from Signature Response Game and Push The Above Troper's Berserk Button among others. The new forum games only consider your superficial features, if they consider you individually at all.

    Push The Above Troper's Berserk Button was fun back when everybody knew everybody, but now I have no idea how to play it.  Same goes for the one about flanderising the above poster.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    We sort of did the flanderising one here at one point. It turned out alright, aside from people trying to flanderise themselves.

    ^ that has happened so many times here.

    Y'know, this is a pretty small forum right now.  I think this might be worth an experiment.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    Y'know, I could have sworn it took longer for the TVTropes thread to derail into an insult-fest.

    I think this experiment proved something, but I'm not sure what.
  • BobBob
    This may not come as much of a surprise, but I love that thread way more than I should.

    ...Also, sorry.

    Easy: it proves that the freedom of no TVTropes constraints wills us to post in a meaner, more insulting manner. 
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    There's a limit to how many times you can actually press a berserk button before it loses effectiveness. After that, generic insults ensue.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    Yeah, it's probably lesser probability of ban + fewer people to insult.

    Oh well, it amused me, anyway.
  • All NinesAll Nines

    Yeah. I feel pretty bad about some of the stuff I'm saying in there, but it's the most fun I've had in a while.

    Though I'm still curious as to how much of it people mean . . .
  • GLORIOUSLeaderGLORIOUSLeader
    When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    It is very fun, although I don't mean a lick of it.

    And no, I'm not reading off of note cards.

    I wonder what Fast Eddie would think if he saw that thread.

    That this community was "not known for its creativity or truly original humour".

    And he'd be right.

    (I don't mean any of it, either, if that wasn't obvious.)

    If that don't work, use more gun.
    Eh, yeah, forum games suck now.  Not sure why I still participate in them.  Then again, they're supposed to be for fun and all that.  I'm still sickened and dumbstruck at the Forum Lust Game's transformation.

    Holy crap, how much of my time have I spent in the Berserk Button thread? D:

    I think I'll leave that thread for a little while and actually do something productive.

    ^^ If this is late, why are you up?

    To be honest, I probably just have a really unhealthy sleep schedule, or lack thereof.
