GAME: Pass The Hand-Grenade
« on: January 15, 2009, 01:59:34 PM »
[This topic began in a secret forum that Roger could not see. See also this topic.]

Peepmaster begins with the hand-grenade.

It explodes at 1:45PM tomorrow, 16 JAN 09, and then at that time every day until someone wins the game.

If he is holding the hand-grenade at the time, he is out of the game.

He can pass the hand grenade to anyone else in the following list: Mince, The Peepmaster, Vulture, Roger Kettle, Tarquin Thunderthighs lll, peter, Elizabeth, Malc, Fyodor, Colin, Diane CBPFC, Jack, Joan, Tom, Zesty White, Max, Feather

Note that all of the above people can see this forum except Roger Kettle. He cannot see this forum or this topic.

You may only pass the hand-grenade to another person if Roger says one of the following words or phrases:

therefore, funniest, cartoonist, wonderful, guys, superb, damn, chuffed, amazing, phew, today, really, anyway, um, To be honest, sort of, on the subject of, couple of pints, I laughed

You may pass the grenade to Roger, but if he again says one of the words or phrases in the list, the grenade is passed to the person from the list nominated by the person who spots Roger saying the word or phrase.

Whomever has the hand-grenade at 1:45PM is blown up and is out of the game. However, that person can add two more words or phrases to the list (but not words like "and" or "the").

If Roger uses more than one of the specified phrases in the same post, the hand-grenade explodes there and then.

Each time the hand-grenade explodes, the first person to post a name from the list after 1:45PM specifies who has the next hand grenade.

To win the game, either be the last person alive in the list, or blow Roger up twice.

This is all a bit twisted and in very poor taste.

I'm in.
I apologise, in advance.

Oh dear - how do I know if I have the hand grenade - do I have to stay here all the time in case? ???

I'm shortly getting the boat, then a train into Glasgow, as I'm traveling on the night sleeper down to London. I'll be Friday night's sleeper coming back up from Euston.

I'll try my best to play your game whilst I'm nowhere near a computer.  ..0

Does it have to be a hand-grenade - can't it be a cream pie?

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I thought it was a bit in bad taste, Diane, but hadn't wanted to mention it... A custard pie would be an alternative, although I don't think they explode so easily.

Sorry, Diane, I was brought up on 2000AD, ACTION, and BATTLE. Damn those cartoonists!

I think Tarquin drew them. I could be wrong...

I loved those comics - twisted and in very poor taste.

As so often is the case, Peespie, you are. And judging by your less than subtle attempts to get Roger to save your hide, I think you've got the rules of the game wrong also. If he answers any more than one of your questions, you're toast!
I apologise, in advance.

I've moved the topic here.

New rule: lack of subtlely results in the hand-grenade going off there and then.

Thank you, Tarks.
