Yeah I know I’m not exactly a cheerleader for MPSIMS, but the games are usually interesting.
I’m not sure if this game has been played here or not. The object of this game is to list three things about yourself. Two of them are true and one is a lie. Everyone else has to guess which is the lie.
For example:
1. Alphagene once dated a Detroit Pistons halftime dancer.
2. Alphagene once dated a 6’7" Georgetown women’s volleyball player.
3. Alphagene once dated a woman who was diagnosed as homicidal by a psychiatrist.
Now one of those is a lie and you have to guess which one. And you can only guess if you post two truths and a lie about yourself. They can be social, sexual, occupational, whatever you want. But if you post, you participate, _capice_?
If anyone gives a damn, I’ll reveal which one is the lie at a later date. At which point, I’ll have three more statements.
Anyone wanna play?

I’ll bite
1. TaleraRis once dated a church boy.
2. TaleraRis once got dumped after 9 days.
3. TaleraRis once dated a HS jock.
I think the first is a lie - just for the hell of guessing.

I think #2 is the lie. No reason for thinking so except Alpha’s posts sound short.
😃
My triad:
1. I once spent the afternoon skiing with Amy Carter.
2. I once made jambalaya for Anne Rice.
3. I once went through a strip club but was looking at all the men.

Oh, come on! It’s all a lie! Alphagene never dated anyone! So, what do I win?

3.)My second cousin is a moderately famous serial killer.

Ahem…I didn’t mean to question whether or not this was so much fun. That was supposed to be an exclamatory statement. But you probably already knew that.
Oh, and Alpha? You should be doing some guessing, too, right?
