Only two main rules:
First and most important:
- No dares or truths that have anything to do with anything illegal OR against the rules of the Straightdope Message Board. This means no truths asking about past or present crimes or if anyone’s done anything that is illegal or about anything that is deemed illegal, and nothing about ANYTHING that you’re not allowed to do, post about, talk about, or reveal on the SDMB anyway. This includes sarcastic, “baiting”, or offensive questions to anyone. If you are posting one of these questions then you obviously know the person being asked is sensitive to it in the first place and are thus breaking the main rule of SDMB. But in general, try to use good and common sense when asking something.
And 2. All dares must be limited to and posted in this thread only. No dares about making topics or posts in any forum or to any topic. No dares about going anywhere else on the net. No dares about doing anything to anyone else on here. There are many ideas for online dares I know of that would be fine. Unlimited possiblities actually, so there should be no reason for this game to have to go outside of this topic at all.
And finally, not rules per se, but some notes:
Anyone can ask anyone T or D at any time.
No impossible dares please (IE: I dare you to make a post in here of 1,000 words on the breeding of the potato plant; I dare you to post typing backwards for your next 500 posts in here; etc). Make them realistic.
Nobody has to do any dare or answer anything they don’t wish to for any reason, or no reason. HOWEVER, please don’t play the game if you’re not at least going to be a bit brave or daring.
No X or R rated dares, obviously, but I think that goes under Things Against SDMB rules. Keep the questions R rated (and possibly under a spoiler) and the dares PG rated.
Dares can be subject to many things. Photo dares, Soundbite dares, post dares (I.E I dare you to post using leet speak for the next 5 posts in this thread; I dare you to write a poem dedicated to toilet plungers;I dare you to post in muli colors for the next 10 post; etc), Sig dares, etc. Use your creative minds. Again, just as long as it’s not illegal or against SDMB rules/policy.
And of course, I hope this thread is closely monitored and isn’t hesitated in being closed down if someone does break the two rules…(or, hey, close it down immediatly if it’s found to not be a good idea for a game in the first place…however I think that it can be and see nothing wrong with it if the two rules I made are followed so I ask and implore you to at least give it a chance first).
And that’s it.
