FACT or FICTION? You Decide.
This game is pretty cool. A poster finds a story online (snopes is great) and gives the basis of the story telling the important parts of it. It's up to the next posters (without cheating by surfing the net) to decide if it's fact or fiction merely by stating it.
Story Tellers: Grab a story (keep it to two paragraphs at the most) from the net and post it in this thread for subsequent posters to decide whether or not they think it's fact or fiction. Come clean with the story's authenticity AFTER 24 hours. I suggest you don't prolong the suspense or the story itself will just be forgotten :P After coming clean, if you can...please give some background of the story and origins of it. The story has to be something the users MAY know. Nothing like -> I have 40,000 bucks in my bank account...fact or fiction.
Guessers: Quote the story you're deciding upon with your answer after the quote. You CAN NOT surf the net for the answers, that takes away the fun and if you do you're just a dirty cheating skank that can't be trusted as far as you can be thrown. :P You CAN NOT post information or material to back up the reason you have made whatever decision you've come to regarding the story. Your ONLY answer when quoting a story can only be "Fact" or "Fiction". Don't mistake this for not being able to conversate in the thread...by all means. However if you're quoting a story, that means you're answering it and that means you are only limited to saying either "Fact" or "Fiction". NO INTERNET BROWSING FOR ANSWERS. Immediately after answering a fact or fiction post, YOU have to post one of your own. :cooler:
