Nonsense game
mittekemuis
Hello guys,
After the success of my previous article I would like to try you out for something new. At home I have this silly game calls nonsense. It is good fun to play with a group of people and gets even more fun when the alcohol gets poured in great quantities. I can’t give you the life version of this game nor can I give you the large quantities of alcohol but nothing is stopping you from opening a bottle coming up with stories for us to guess. I think this game has the potential of sparking positive and multiple activity on the media page. If this idea gets a nice review I will put it up for the Plato Foundation to get it some real valuable prize money.
The idea of the game is to start a story from a preset situation where you have to implement one, two or more words that the opponents need to guess. The situation gets chosen by the guessing team and the words the writer chooses are selected from a preset list he is given. If the words gets found the guessing team wins the point if they are not found the storyteller gets double the points.
For example:
The guessing team gets a set of two situation they can choose from
One of the Administrators of the eRepublik has collapsed on his chair.
Towards midnight you have a meeting with…
The story writer now has to choose two words from the list he is getting
zinc
Trailer
Helmet
Pencil
Wolves
Before the story writer begins to write his story, he has to give the numbers of the words he will be using to the game moderator and put the numbers on top of his published story.
Each story has to have a minimum word count of 300 words and a maximum of 500 words.
Timeline
Each game will take 72 hours
I will publish the rules plus the two situations to choose from. Now the community puts in the comments what situation they would like to see written and players who want to write put their names down too. The player with the most votes has to write the story.
The storyteller and the situation is now known and the moderator will give the storywriter a list of six words where he or she can choose from. He then gets another 24 hours at most to publish the story.
Once the story is up the community can begin their guessing game. Each person can only guess one word. The words that are put down as guesses have to be voted on by the others and the two with the most votes will count as the official result. This will all have to be done within 24 hours.
The winner
If the two words have been guessed correctly those who have done so won the game and will get rewarded 25 points
If the storywriter gets away with none guessing the words he used he is rewarded with 50 points
The player to reach 250 points first wins the game.
I hope you guys like this idea and give me a reason to start this game. You can do so by voting and shouting and of course don’t hesitate to comment.

Let's do it!

Crazy man, real crazy.
The rukes are not quite clear. From a story of 300-500 words we have to guess TWO? Will there be any clue to the guessing algorythm? Or the words will have to be guessed at random?
The words will be have to be guessed at random. Now you got to take in consideration that the words the writer has to choose from to put in his story are random and totally nonsense to the context of the story. The idea is that some stories will turn out to be very hilarious.
To be honest, I always need a lot of words to explain something so to me 300 to 500 words is not much. Maybe for most players it would be too much I can lower the count somewhat but you do need to have a fair bit of sentences to create an actual story.
OK, let's try it 🙂
Hmmm, seems interesting but high effort. Still, I might be able to participate and write a story if it's during the weekends.

Great idea, finally something quite different from the usual stuff we see (including what I put out)
