This idea came to me last night, to attempt to do a Whose Line Is It Anyway game on the boards here. I think it might have been done before, but, let’s go around again! For those of you unaware of how to play Party Quirks: (Shame on you!) Adopt a peculiar trait (a quirk) based on a Famous person or Position. Manifest that trait through the context of joining a party. The object is get another poster to guess who you are, but not too obvious as to give yourself away immediately. - It’s a fine balance. I will start:: Well, I hope my party goes well tonight, hopefully the news of it’s death will prove to be a great exaggeration. I can only hope that people enjoy my Masquerade theme, after all, clothes make the man. [[And I probably just gave my character away.]] ---
