Game: Invisible Friend - Now playing round 47.

[Gabi]

(Hosted by Gabi and llearch, logo by ×HaZ×MaT×)

This is a common game in Argentina, played among groups of children, teenagers and adults alike. I've adapted it to be played on a message board.

First of all, I need to know who's playing. You may post to join during the signup period, regardless of whether you've played any previous rounds or not. After that, sign-ups will be closed, and the game will begin.

When the game starts, each player will be assigned another, and he/she will become this other player's 'invisible friend'. The aim of the game is to find out who your invisible friend is. Players may post here to ask their invisible friends questions. Invisible friends will reply to those questions and send them messages with clues or whatever they want to say. Since invisible friends can't post directly (because that would reveal their identities), they must e-mail me their messages to gliynnATgmail.com (replace the AT for an @) and I will post them here telling who the message is for, but not who sent it (obviously). If llearch is hosting the round, the answers should be addressed to ifATllearch.net instead.

The exchange period will last for 2 weeks. During this period, each invisible friend should send his/her assigned player at least one drawing (by e-mailing it to me; it doesn't matter if you can't draw well, just do what you can, this isn't an art contest). Once this period is over, each player will have to make a post saying who s/he thinks her/his invisible friend is. Everyone who guesses right is a winner.

Tips for hosts

I'm in!

[Cogidubnus]

I would also like to try my hand, if I may.

[e_voyager]

slips in silent as a shadow and slips his name into the competition,. then blows it all by doing a touch downs dance complete with chant. " in in alright oh yeah I'm in uh huh"  looks around. "er did i say that out loud?"

[techmaster-glitch]

This does sound interesting, but subtlety and inconspicousness doesn't come easy when you are clearly the resident robo-maniac

I might try it, but don't hold out for me.

[Suwako]

In again, my checklist will empower me once again.. and I will ignore it like I did the times I won.. 

So, I'm in, how do I feel about that..

[Dannysaysnoo]

Sounds absolutely amazing! count me in!

[Gabi]

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many sign ups so soon!

Please remember that you must be ACTIVE in this game, which means both posting questions and sending me the answers. One question+one answer a day would be ideal. It's ok if you're too busy and fail to post/e-mail me one day, but continued absence will result in poking, and eventually disqualification.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Note also that disqualification for inactivity for one round will likely disqualify you for the next one, and repeated disqualifications may result in you being refused entry to the game, on grounds of it's actually quite a lot of work running this, and disqualifying people generates as much as running it. So we really dislike it when it happens without warning.

The round usually runs for two weeks from start to finish, so make sure you're around for that. Also note that the GM will usually wait until there are more than one result before posting them, so as to reduce the risk of figuring out who your IF is by seeing who's online when you get your answer.

For me... I should be around for long enough, so sign me up, if you'd be so kind. ;-]

[Gabi]

Of course! Welcome back to the game, llearch! ^^

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

Well, seeing as how I haven't played since the very first game back on The Nice (which I think I won, by the way ) I would like to try my hand at it again.
This should... be fun.
And of course, another distraction from my life

As for the picture... does it need to be a new one, done specifically for the game/our person, or just an ambiguous one we might have?

[Gabi]

You can choose, as long as it's made by you. But if you use an old one, there's a risk that someone may have seen it before.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Well, seeing as how I haven't played since the very first game back on The Nice (which I think I won, by the way )

[Gabi]

And this link.

Shall we start tomorrow instead of Thursday? Everyone seems to have already signed up.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

Ah, well that explains it then. Must have encountered it after a personal hiatus then, for me to have not noticed the first three.

So few... did we not usually have more? No matter, better for you that way I guess.

Alright, so if I may ask it... wait, that question is pointless. Nevermind.

What do you like to do in your free/spare/"hah! What spare/free time?" time?

[Dannysaysnoo]

A question for my visibility challenged friends.

Have you ever been to AC?

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

ooooh.... Good one.
*makes a note that she's fairly sure none of them have been though. Except for maybe...*

[e_voyager]

to my camouflage adept friend

do you have pets?
is yes then what kind?
if no then what would you have if you could?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

To my perdu penpal,

Spanky and Cogidubnus have a good set of questions, so I'm going to steal some of theirs:

Have you played this game before?
Are you a fan of cars?
You say you like Calligraphy. Does that mean your creative efforts lead into writing, or are they in other areas?

Yours in anticipation,
llearch

[Gabi]

Thanks for the quotes, 2 of you, even if one of you sent me a broken quote tag.

Dear Invisible Friend,

Do you write stories?
Do you know how to write code?
Are you a fan of fine cars?

× Sometimes, though I am not a writer, and have very little aspiration to be one.
×What kind of code? html, CCS, php?
×-Fine- cars is relative, what type of car do you include in this category?

Dear Invisible Friend,

how are you? are you just as excited about playing this game again as
myself? I certainly hope so, it's going to be fun for sure, don't you
agree?

Dear Aiyno,

I'm good. How about you?
I don't know if "excited" is exactly the right word. It'll definitely be
fun, though.

A question for my visibility challenged friends.

Have you ever been to AC?

Not yet!

to my camouflage adept friend

do you have pets?
is yes then what kind?
if no then what would you have if you could?

Why yes i do! i have a cat named Harry, a cat with a fetish for sultanas called Sally, and a dog called Jazz.

I have not played this game before.

Are you a fan of cars?
Only in that they get me from place to place.

You say you like Calligraphy. Does that mean your creative efforts lead
into writing, or are they in other areas?
It leads into writing, but isn't limited to that.

[Dannysaysnoo]

Dear invisible friend,

Do you like Guitar Hero? if you do, what games do you have?
