The 'Guess Who?' game involves people PMing the host (me, PracticePractic, in this case) with their choice of whatever the subject is (all will become clear soon). As I had the idea for this game a few months ago, the subject/theme of this edition is Halloween costumes (or, for the more literary among you, I got the idea from Edgar Allan Poe's short story 'The Masque of the Red Death'). People who wish to participate in this part of the game have one week to message the host with their choice: Meaning, for this version, people have a week from today to message me with your choice of costume for a "late Halloween party" I'm "inviting" you all to.

Once the week is up, the host posts the list of items people have sent in, along with a separate list of the members who sent in those items – both are in alphabetical order to avoid revealing who said what.

For example, if the edition of the game was 'Favorite Cheeses', the host might post

ITEM LIST:
Applewood Smoked Cheddar
Edam
Gouda
Monterey Jack

and

NAME LIST
Carl (CarlJ)
Joey (Joeyy)
Sarah (Cheater138)
Sierra (PinkFloyd)

Players (these can include those who PM'd the host with an item choice, as well as anyone who only wants to guess the match-ups) will then have four days to post in the thread, matching the list items to the members they think chose them. Using the example item list, this might be

ENTRY

Applewood Smoked Cheddar - Joey
Edam - Carl
Gouda - PinkFloyd
Monterey Jack - Sarah

(The choice of username or real name is yours.)

If you have submitted a costume and also want to guess the match-ups, please do not "guess" your own.

The aim of the game is to score a full house in matching the usernames or real names to their choices of subject. Four days after the lists have been posted, the game closes for guesses and the winner will later be announced! (If no one scores a full house, then the winner will be whoever was closest.) If we have enough players, we might have a 2nd and 3rd place as well.

Anyone can host an edition of the game, although it might be best if only one edition is played at a time. Other editions might be 'Guess Who: Last Meal'; 'Guess Who: Favorite Book/Movie/TV Show', etc.

I hope enough of you like this game for it to be a success. Don't forget, this is a Halloween edition, so the first step is for people to PM me with your choice of Halloween costume! Please don't purposely submit something that no one would attribute to you – if everyone did that, nobody would ever win!

First Deadline: Costumers, please choose your costume by 1 week from today (that's November 26, 2014 at 22:00 (10 pm) by the LSI clock).

Then everyone has 4 days to match the costumes to the member and post their guesses.

Second Deadline: Game closes for guesses on November 30, 2014 at 22:00 (10 pm) by the LSI clock.

Winners receive nothing but congratulatory notes from other players!

(With much thanks and great appreciation to Joey for all her suggestions to these instructions!)

I said discussing answers. Like, oh yeah, that one time Joey talked about wanting to be a carrot, so she must be the carrot.

remembering another scene from a movie (forgot the name---just posting in between other tasks)....

Dr. Sigmund Freud is shown discussing all the psychological angles and ramifications for someone saying they wanted to be a "carrot"..... then he stops his long discourse in mid-sentence to say...

"and then again.... sometimes a carrot is just a carrot!"

Just passing along for those who get the joke which your posting reminded me of....

Hahaha.

Anyway...hopefully people won't take too long with their answers and there will be a couple of days where players can comment with after-thoughts about their choices, perhaps?

END OF COSTUME SUBMISSIONS! GUESSING BEGINS!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a costume choice this week! I'm very happy so many of you participated.

As stated, the next part of the game is where players – again, this can be ANYONE, not only the people who submitted a Halloween costume – try to match the submitters with their choice. The first person to correctly match every submitter to their chosen costume wins! If no one manages this, then the winner will be whoever was closest. Your have four days to guess!

RULES

One thing to remember before posting your guesses is: if you submitted a costume yourself, DO NOT POST YOUR OWN when guessing!

In its current format, to make it as much fun as possible, this game works on faith – please submit your guesses in the thread based on your own intuitions, i.e. don't read everyone else's and base yours on those. It defeats the object of the game – to see how well you know your fellow LSI members – and it takes away the victory of a true win.

Hoping everyone can play fairly and enjoy this new game!

(Again I must express many thanks and great appreciation to Joey for all her suggestions to these instructions!)

So we shouldn't even read each other's posts, or just not use their ideas for our own guess?

Some seems obvious, but they could be trickery!

I don't think anyone will, but if they wanted to. Could be a rule that's changed in future editions; we just thought maybe a few people wouldn't submit a costume in this first one because they didn't get it or were lazy, but then realised it could be fun.

I'd advise trying not to read before posting to avoid being influenced, but it's up to you.

Yeah, I won't read them. Possible accidental glancing, but I won't read until I post mine. I'll just start second guessing my own thinking then.
