Post subject:  Two Truths and a Lie: THE FORUM GAME! (Game 2, lol)
This game will be played in three phases:

Phase 1. Sign up by posting two true statements and one false statement about yourself in this thread. The statements may be given in any order; do not tell which statement is the lie, as the objective is to fool the other players into thinking that it is true.

Phase 2. For each other player in the game, guess which of their three statements is a lie. (Don't guess your own, of course.)

Phase 3. Reveal which of your statements is the lie.

Note: The phases are liable to overlap. This is good. :)

You score 1 point for every player whose lie you guess correctly, and 1 point for each player you fool. Highest score wins! Simple, isn't it?

I'll start with my three statements:

1. I have memorized all of the first 251 Pokemon by their Johto Pokedex number.
2. I once wrote a Mario fanfic in which Mario couldn't speak vowels.
3. I like the music from the movie "High School Musical", but I despise the movie itself.

For KoK, I guess number 1 is a lie. For The Zephyr Song, I guess number 1 is a lie.

All right, I'm gonna make a handy-dandy list table thingy to keep track of what's what around here. First, I'll represent each player with three letters. (You're only a player if you've posted three statements; Netzen will need to post three statements to be included.)

KOK = King of Katamari
MTH = mathgrant
TZS = The Zephyr Song

All right, in the table below, the numbers represent which statement from the player above the player to the left guessed was the lie. For example, the 3 in row KOK and column MTH means KOK guessed MTH3 was the lie. The statements are listed below the table for our convenience.
Code:
      Statements
      KOK MTH TZS
P KOK ---  3  ...
l MTH  1  ---  1
a TZS ...  2  ---
y
e
r
s


Statements:
KOK1: I play the xylophone.
KOK2: I'm currently in high school.
KOK3: I can clear some DDR songs on Heavy Mode.

MTH1: I have memorized all of the first 251 Pokemon by their Johto Pokedex number.
MTH2: I once wrote a Mario fanfic in which Mario couldn't speak vowels.
MTH3: I like the music from the movie "High School Musical", but I despise the movie itself.

TZS1: I have a tongue piercing.
TZS2: I own fifteen novels by Garth Nix.
TZS3: I own a marshmallow gun.

All right, back to the game! Make some guesses, and tell some lies!

I will guess statement #2 for Ju Ju. And no, because more players could join, and they need to be able to guess, too. :)

Speaking of players, should we go ahead and set a limit on the number of players? I dunno, like 12 or 15?

Thanks, Neo! Now I don't have to strain over what three-letter abbreviation to give you! :mrgreen:
By the way, I will say that NEO2 is the lie.

20 players, eh? If no one else objects to that, then I'll make 20 the official limit in the thread title. We have 8 players right now.
