Seemples. The aim of the game is to edit one's annotation in such a
way as to make the subsequent annotation appear rediculous.
Here is a spin-off idea

Annotation:
|
| |
What has this got to do with car insurance? |
|
| |
Do you comb your hair? And also, are you sic or not sic? |
|
| |
I hap a puppy once, but it died of old age. |
|
| |
Would you believe... two small boys and a donkey? |
|
| |
What can you do if you're an icycle thief? |
|
| |
I could never understand why it was spelled twelfth,
with a F. |
|
| |
You know what I hate?! Funtion notation. Not just
funtion notation but idiots who use it to try
explaining recursion, what a terrible thing! |
|
| |
The flaw in this is that a single edit may cause the entire annotation chain to have to be rewritten. E.g. if you edit annotation x (or "a(x)") to make a(x+1) look stupid, this may change the relationship between a(x-1) and a(x) causing the author of a(x-1) to have to make an edit. This could cause an edit to be need to a(x-2) and so on, back to a(0).
However, I predict that, rather than react to my highlighting of this critical weakness in his idea, [Max-B] will instead resort to making cheap personal jibes about other halfbakers. |
|
| |
Ian, is it true that you and [zen] are clonal? If so, then your
progeny would likewise be clonal, perpetuating a line of
purebred halfbakers. |
|
| |
I already said that and you copied it. |
|
| |
I like this idea, as I already said, but you deleted my
annotation for some reason? (+) |
|
| |
I agree with xenzag. Though I guess it's only a matter of time before some idiot mentions the nazis. |
|
| |
I dunno - something about blue popsicles being best or
whatever. Apparently the Third Reich wanted to outlaw
them. |
|
| |
I do believe that blue popsicles are the best flavor.
Edit from that horrible comment about Hitler. |
|
| |
The thing with the popsicles is really going too far. This was never the home of Good Taste and Discretion, but there are limits, and I for one like my hats in one piece. |
|
| |
Nobody does. Apparently one of their torture instruments
was a huge droning musical instrument which slowly
deafened their victims by generate a very low-pitched, loud
quacking sound. |
|
| |
I can't remember what it was called, though. |
|
| |
I think the jokes are meant to be gender neutral. |
|
| |
up to this point annotations have failed to embody the idea. I hope that we can cap of the meta-ideas/call for annos/lists at some point. |
|
| |
I think Dr.Bob is clear on the above annons, and has a real knack for this idea. |
|
| |
Oh, I dunno, WcW. bigsleep has had me working hard on my actual competition anno (above). The main problem with the idea (or possibly it's main advantage) is that you have to keep adding new anno's to the end of it, otherwise it just sinks down into the great sump of non-current ideas, where the 'Random' button would be its only hope of ever seeing the light of day again. |
|
| |
The only way for this to work is to allow for two
separate aspects of any annotation. One is kept to
preserve their own ridiculousness as pointed out in
the previous, and the other is kept to make the
subsequent look ridiculous. If you can provide both
aspects in a single notion, then extra points. |
|
| |
Ah, yes, I may have failed to consider the scoring system.
Perhaps we should just give points to everyone. |
|
| |
[DrBob],[daseva] The game has to be played in a
cooperative, as well as a competitive spirit. When revising
an anno A, one tries to make the following anno B look
rediculous. However, when posting a new anno C, one
aims to provide a feed line. It's an odd thing to deliver a
punchline without knowing the joke, and then laugh when
someone else tells the joke (c.f. [MaxwellBuchannan]
above, on the subject of anatine torture implements).
Problem is, I
can't bring myself to alter the anno
and
spoil the joke. |
|
| |
...and I would like to add that the discussion of which this
anno forms a part should immunize this idea against any
accusation that it is (merely) a list. |
|
| |
// I can't bring myself to alter the anno and spoil the

You might find my idea interesting [link] |
|
| |
Maybe we should define "rediculous"? After that is done I suspect we might have a better chance of success. |
|
| |
I saw a man named Angstrom,
Moonwalk across the room. |
|
| |
Now, if [MB] just corrects the title... |
|
| |
[MB] sits in that illustrious chair position, the one that gets to define how English is properly used and items are properly spelled, of course. I have quite a few bones to pick with him because of that... |
