Topic: The "If Khushrenada reads the first post of this thread, he loses" game!

[Evan_B]

Greetings fellow users, and welcome to a game of my own design! Well, unless your name is Khushrenada. Then you'd better scroll your little bar all the way down to the bottom of this post and past all my warning signs! Yes, I know you've all been wondering: now that Evan_B has been banned, when will he start bringing out the hard-hitting thread titles and golden content that befits such a rapscallion of such status? Well, I suppose it would be right now. See, I've been stewing an idea for a low-committal, chance-based, absolute bullshit forum game of my own ever since my eyes first rested upon my glorious loss in the latest Safe Words! I too want to get in on some of that action, so I'll be starting my own series called:

"If [Insert User] reads the first post of this thread, he loses!"
Whew! I have been waiting with bated breath to announce that one. So what are the rules of this game? Well, the first post of the thread will contain a conversation topic of the thread starter's choice, and obviously, the person in the thread title can't read it! But everyone else can, and its their goal to continuously post about that topic and create a conversation among themselves, giving subtle hints, while the person in the thread title attempts to guess just what the subject of that first post actually was! That's right, you might think its a game about trying to screw over Khushrenada, but if you all post and play poorly, you'll be screwing over yourselves! It's the entirety of NWR versus the user in the title, and we'll see how long- or how dumb- that user is as they attempt to figure out the subject of the thread!

If Khushrenada is still reading this post, it's okay buddy, I'm putting up the "SPOILER" warnings now, so you'll still have a chance to win the game! Everybody ready?

IF YOUR NAME IS KHUSHRENADA, THIS IS YOUR FIRST WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW!





IF YOUR NAME IS KHUSHRENADA, THIS IS YOUR SECOND WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW!





IF YOUR NAME IS KHUSHRENADA, THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW!




The subject of this thread will be how Khushrenada has already lost by reading the rules of the game. Let this be a warning to all of those that play in the future: you can't read ANY of the first post! Duh.





IF YOUR NAME IS KHUSHRENADA, THIS IS A REMINDER: SPOILERS ABOVE!





IF YOUR NAME IS KHUSHRENADA, THIS IS A GENTLE NUDGING: SPOILERS ABOVE!




Okay, that's enough of that nonsense.
Good luck, and may the best user win!

[nickmitch]

Ok, ok. But now how do *I* win?

[Evan_B]

You're winning as long as Khushrenada hasn't guessed! And then, if he's wrong, you're STILL WINNING!

[nickmitch]

[Khushrenada]

I see. Since there's a lot of discussion about winning and me losing and I'm targeted by this thread plus I made the recent post of winning a thread does that mean the topic of conversation is about how I'm losing in this thread?

[Evan_B]

You can't win a thread, Khushrenada. You can win a game, but not a thread.

[Evan_B]

Did you even read the rules, man?

[Khushrenada]

TL;DR

[Evan_B]

...So you just read the title?

[Khushrenada]

Ok. I'm illiterate. You got me! What happens if I ignore this thread or lock it?

[Evan_B]

Then everyone else wins, and I make a new game with a new member and you can participate!

Trust me, once you read the rules, the game gets very fun. I should know! I made it!

[Phil]

Ok, ok. But now how do *I* win?

An easy joke would be "You're not Khushrenada" but I wouldn't believe in that joke's premise.

[Khushrenada]

This better not be a case where everybody but Khushrenada wins.

[Evan_B]

Of course not, silly. Only those that attempt to direct you towards the subject of the first post within this thread can win. They lose if you guess the subject of the thread.

I can only say that the rules are in the first post. You can check them out, as the actual subject of the first post is buffered by red warnings and a spoiler tag.

[Khushrenada]

I have read the rules. I'm just messing about to try and get some info. The subject could possibly be the rules of the game. Not sure how directing me to the subject can make a person win yet if I guess the subject they lose. That seems contradictory. Since the rules mention others having a conversation, I'm going to hold back a bit and see what happens when people converse in this thread without me around to influence the conversation.

[Evan_B]

I should clarify. Only you can win- or lose- the game. If you guess the subject, you win. If you give up, you lose. If you read the first post of the thread, you suffer the mental anguish of knowing that you could easily win, but the win will never be honest.

If you pick up on the cues that other members drop about the subject of the first post, then you might be able to win- but I honestly doubt it. You can certainly influence the conversation, but everyone else will likely attempt to keep the thread on-topic. That's how you can try to gather clues! This first thread is a bit of a test-run, you know, and I apologize for picking you as the first participant, but at the same time, you are the funhouse game-master. Surely, you can guess the subject! Your victory depends on it, kind of!

[Khushrenada]

Well, clearly nothing will happen if I'm not participating.

I'm guessing this game is a bit like a party game I've played before called Psychiatrist in which a person is designated the psychiatrist and leaves the room while the group comes up with an illness of some sort like they are Bond Villains or their identity is the person to their left and the psychiatrist has to figure out what that symptom is by asking questions.

So, I suppose I should just start asking some questions as to what the topic might be?

[Evan_B]

Yeah, sure! Although everyone has been in character so far, so your psychiatrist analogy is spot-on.

it's so cute that Khushy is playing dumb.

[NWR_insanolord]

"Playing"

[Khushrenada]

everyone has been in character so far

Curious. Is the subject we are talking about an actual topic one can converse on or is it instructions on how to behave?

[Khushrenada]

"Playing"

Well "played".

No it is not instructions. But we all know that Khushrenada has already lost. There's no need to continue this pointless sharade. He's probably already read the spoilered text and now he's going to start posting for a bit acting like he hasn't read it and then he's going to have his "eureka moment" and he's going to act like the greatest thing on the forums since sliced bread. It's pretty much his M.O.

It's charade.

They even made a movie on it...

[pokepal148]

We all know Khush is a loser. You want proof?

I have read the rules.

Only losers read the rules.
