You like mind games you say? Maybe you think you're good at them? Some psychology, and maybe some social experiments, just pure fun and thinking? All whilst being able to drop in and out whenever you please? How does that sound? Lovely? Intriguing? ...Extraordinary?
Well, we'll just have to find out.
Welcome, to MIND GAMES Can you unravel my veil of secrets?
Frame 1
Can you really trust me? Or anyone else online?
How well do you really know me? Or your other friends here?
Are you being lied to? How can you read someone without a face?
Can people trust you?
Obviously no one online can really hurt you as long as you play it safe with personal information, like everyone here does. It's a great community, you are not at risk in any way, everyone here is friendly and honestly lovely.
If you feel you know someone online well enough to share any personal stuff, you can usually be sure they'll keep it to themselves. That's not what I'm asking you to question. Just think for a second, what about the small things? That don't really matter? It doesn't hurt you or anyone else, but I mean, who are really your rocks, and who are just your online friends?
Obviously this is all just a bit of deep thinking, but for psychological fun, its cool to keep it in mind, don't you think? Do you think you've made yourself some really good friends here? That you trust, even if they have something to gain by lying to you? Would you okay with it if you knew that, by lying, they were going to gain something that they could benefit you with, or would you want them to be honest no matter what? Would you lie to them?
This stands to be a bit of fun for the community, for all you people who love creative thinking, roleplaying, putting yourself in others shoes, and of course, D&D. I'm going to run it at a slow pace, give you lots to think about, and enough time to think about it.
Anyone can join at any time, nothing is really set in stone, this is a forum game after all.
The way things will be done is in a mini game style, with super simple rules, that anyone with the ability to read and write can join. The winners of each round will earn points, that will go forward to unlock benefits in future games and a potential grand prize when all this is finished. No one has any advantage over anyone else, all you need is to talk with others playing, and to do some good old thinking. Talk here, privately, wherever, I don't need to see it unless you want me to.
Points cannot be traded unless I specifically say so. And no arguments please! Just be kind and everything should run smoothly.
To start us off, I have devised a simple game for us to play. This is only frame one, so any clever person should find this easy...
Game 1: Do you trust me?
Remember earlier, I was going on about trust, and your friends? Well, here's our chance to get to the bottom of all that.
3 users have been PMed. I have told them that they are to be imposters in this game, and they have all confirmed that they're in. They're all going to join at random points, so don't try and guess who they are by when they join. And they not necessarily all well known users either. They are allowed to lie, lie, and lie again, with no shame when talking about things that relate to this game.
Your job is simple. Get in to groups of 3 or more, larger groups score higher points. But if your group turns out to have an imposter in it, you lose and score no points. Imposters have a chance to earn lots here, gaining half a point for every user in a group they infiltrate, including themselves.
The game will continue until next weekend, when I will confirm the groups and give out points to winners.
Good luck to you and your friends, you're gonna need it.
Now that the games have begun, who do you want in your group? And who do you think will lie to you?

For this one, I think Cleric/paladin, who is stuck on a foreign plain (and stuck on a low level) who is is determined to get through to his deity to get him home. I'm thinking an elf, but a human would work too.

My Mother told me
Someday I will buy
A galley with good oars,
Sail to distant shores
Stand upon the prow,
Noble barque I steer,
A steady course to the haven,
Hew many foemen, hew many foemen.
Im thinking either a barbarian or go gutter, since it’sa Viking song, but I’m not sure.
If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.
