Hello SteamGifts.com, I would like to play a game.

So, you know me as the oppressive chat nazi, but did you also know I actually try to keep chat active? Crazy, I know. So beyond our weekly Trivia, I was thinking of doing something else to upset everyone who likes to idle for keydrops and private giveaway links.

You are no doubt aware of the amazing British television series, Whose Line is it Anyway, and it's less interesting American cousin by the exact same name.

How would you like to play a game of it in chat? Well, I wasn't asking you nay-sayers, I was asking the hip young folk who can't say no to the chance to make a fool of themselves. Yoloswag and all that.

This Saturday at 12 PM EST, my noon, I will be in chat, and if people are down for some goofing around and making jokes on the fly, we can do some Whose Line for a copy of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.

The rules started simple for Trivia, I cannot see why we shouldn't do some ground work on the rules for this though.

  1. The Gamemaster will be in green, and those playing Whose Line will not. That makes it easy to see when something official is happening. All calls that matter will come from the green named one, points will be assigned by the green named one.

  2. For each topic a person has 1 minute total time to come with their best joke to fit the situation, that joke must be sent in a private message to the Gamemaster. After that one minute period, a strawpoll will be made with the jokes of each participant and everyone will be allowed to vote on the best. The one who wins the poll gets the point, again taking only a minute.

  3. The Gamemaster can award bonus points on a whim just as on the show, but it had better be for something really good.

  4. No complaining about the topics that come up, just roll with it, this is supposed to be about improv, not making things easier for you.

  5. Top 5 scorers get a link to the private giveaway for the prize.

So, TL;DR: WLIIA in chat noon EST on Saturday, Baldur's Gate for a prize.

You could always participate just for the fun of it.

I won't even be home. I'll be visiting family for the weekend, and far away from my PC and game consoles. :(

But do the points matter?
That sounds pretty fun. But sadly, I'll be in NYC for my birthday, so I can't participate. I'm not too great on forced improv anyway. Oh well. Hope everyone else has fun.

First time this has happened, but it is six hours earlier than trivia normally is. Should allow for different folk to have a chance at goofing around in chat.

Well, im a fan of the US show, however, im a non native speaker, so ill probably mess up. However, im actually looking formard to this, seems like a fun idea. I would have liked to play this with my friends or so, but none of them are fans.

So you were late to the party and missed the show in it's purest radio format? I see. I might just grace you with my presence this weekend.
