The rules:
- The object of the game is to slip an unchallenged but unchallengable truth past the other players.
No valid entry may mention any ForumGarden member under any circumstances. This is a non-controversial game, not a warzone.
Participants post what they claim to be entirely factual within a limit of one hundred words. It may be true or it may be a lie. The more outrageous the claim the better the post. Creativity, rather than obscurity, should receive applause.
Anyone who thinks he sees a fully truthful post can challenge. Incorrect challengers will gain a duffer point.
The winner (yes, this is a limited game, not an open-ended thread, and there's a prize) is the poster of a verifiable entry which goes unchallenged for two days. An entrant claims victory by showing a respectable uncontroversial URL illustrating the truth once the challenge period has elapsed.
Duffer points will be totalled and the highest scorer will be declared Credulous.
I have a suspicion that Radio 4 has a current half hour a week dedicated to a loosely related format and that's where the notion has come from. Never mind, plagiarism is the stuff of life.
