Would you like to play a game? (New Feud)

Thread Games

It should be pointed out that it’s up to you, to interpret what kind of “ball” or “boat” is referred to. It’s the ambiguity that makes it fun, and allows for a wide variety of responses.

42

Exactly! I hadn’t even considered a dance for “ball,” or the size of a boat. My brain said sports ball, and I thought it was fun not to specify baseball, football, etc. And I was definitely thinking, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”

43

And, of course, in these Feuds, it’s popularity, not accuracy, that counts. You want to think like the other players, even if it’s not what was intended by the Feud creator. Categories that can be interpreted in more than one way can just make things interesting.

I can’t believe that I actually have some matches! Not many…but hopefully enough to keep me from being dead last which is where I thought I’d be.

Bump! I remember when a Feud would fill up in hours…

50

I was unsure which way to interpret “ball”, but very few movies (aside from Castaway!) feature the ball itself, as opposed to the sport played using the ball, so I went with “dance”.

51

Did you hype it over in The Game Room?

52

Perhaps in the future, limit each game to 30 players.

53

That may have been when we had more active users overall, alas.

54

I’ll start compiling scores today, if my work schedule allows.

Thank you, Rebo!

Hey! A top five finish.

Thanks for running this, Rebo

59

Yes, thanks, @Rebo.

This was a fun one, because there were so many possible answers to each question. (That may have worked against me, though.)

60

Ha! I beat Bayaker! That’s gotta be my worst game ever, and one of the most fun ones I’ve played.

Thanks, Rebo!
