New players are welcome to join at the beginning of every new round!
The Game of Things is a great game that I have a lot of fun playing with my friends from time to time. It shouldn't be too hard to set up a variation that we can play here on INTL.

Rules & How to Play
http://www.thingsthegame.com/rules.html
The rules (which are very short, take a look) will have to be modified a bit for online play, of course. Here is my suggestion for how we play:
1. I am the Reader every round. I will post a topic ("Things you should never say to your wife..." or whatever).
2. Players will submit answers to me via PM. Each player sends only one answer.
3. Instead of guessing one at a time, all the answers will be put on display without the authors' names attached. I will post a list of players for each round (so that if say, ice, submitted one round, but not the next, his name would appear in the list of players above the answers for the first one, but not the second, so people would not be guessing players who have not submitted answers). This also means you only play when you can, and there's no real commitment from round to round, so you play when you want to, basically.
4. Players guess the author next to each answer all at one time (i.e. if there are five players in a round, you copy/paste the answers and put the player's name who you think wrote it next to it for all five quotes). This way there is also no elimination phase every round, which is usually the most drawn out and boring part of the game, really, so hooray, it's gone.
5. To prevent people from just lining up all the answers that aren't theirs, leaving a 50/50 shot at whether or not it is the reader, I will submit 3 answers instead of one. Guessing any of the Reader's answers will not result in any points.
6. Point scoring will be done as follows:
You score 1 point for every answer correctly matched to its author
You score 3 points if none of the players correctly match you to your answer
7. You have roughly 24 hours to submit your answers from when I post a topic. When I have received enough answers, I will post them, and you will have another 24 hours to make your guesses. After that, I will score each round and reveal who said what (which also means you can try to start impersonating other players).
8. The way I've written all this probably makes it seem much more complicated than it really is. That said, let's begin!
