Question Suggestion and knock around ideas for games thread

I sometimes have half formed ideas for games but am not convinced enough to start a thread. I though there should be a thread where people could bandy around ideas until they were good enough to be started as their own thread.


Here's an idea I had

A "room 101" thread based on the UK TV show

I don't know "room 101". I'm currently thinking I'd like to see games retired, not have a plethora of new ones formed. If the idea is good enough, though, sure.

How about a game where everyone waits the longest possible time they can before posting?

I think I've started a few games like that.

I originally posted the suggestion of the 'insane forum suggestion thread' because I wasn't sure whether the moderators would like a game like that but then I though what the heck and started the game anyway. Hope you don't mind moderators.

Someone might know better than me how to start one.

Actually I like the idea of the 'Room 101' thread. I'm sure most people have several things they'd like to put in it. I know I do (& Antoniseb could actually put the thread itself in ala Stephen Fry)
One of my fave guests from that show was the late great Spike Milligan, I think he put the whole of France in

Why would you want to stop the game threads? Is taking a few minutes for a bit of fun really so painful for you?

Why? And if your about to say "Because it's a load on the server"...that's irrelevant because that's a problem anyways be it now or short term future. Frankly the forum is serious enough already, any more and we'll be craping diamonds for Gods sake. All the games are neatly tucked away already for the people who want to play them...and if anything that benefits the forum by giving people a place to vent and stretch their legs a bit, especially since we practically aren't allowed to do anything but stay on topic 24-7 anyways. I'm rather disappointed that you've suggest this, as it would only add to the problems.

First player names a politician and thereafter the players take turns naming a worse politician than the previous player. Last player banned is the winner.

to be fair to Antoniseb, this thread is 6months old. Perhaps I shouldn't have bumped it.

I hadn't realized this was a bumped thread, but what I say still stands.
