Here's a game that I've played several times in the real world not sure if it will work on the internet. It's going to take an element of honesty. Pick 4words randomly - either the first 4 you can think of, or from a dictionary or a dictonary.com. Then tell a story. The rest of us have to guess what the 4 words are. When I played this before we started with "I was taking my dog for a walk when..", but you don't have to.

Okay:

I was taking my dog for a walk when a wizard crept up to me in a long flowing cloak, a cloak of deception, if you will. He bestowed on me a magic cloth. It didn't look particularly magic but he assured me it was. It was wet but was drying. Then he started dancing, with a mirrorball, in which I could see the reflection of his withered face. No idea what that was about...

This isn't going to work, is it? What was I thinking?  :lol:

How do the 4 words relate to the story?  Are the 4 random words put into the story somewhere or are they like what the next 4 words would be or what?

The story isn't related to the next one. The next person to tell a story chooses their own 4 words. For now, you just guess mine. Or shoud I tell you just as an example?

I'm gonna suck at this game, but if everyone else approves, you can keep it going.

Because he needs permission, right?

I actually do this type of thing all the time.  If I need some random words for a layout, I'll pull out a thesaurus and attack my friend with a stick so she'll pick out like 50 words.  And I'll put them together so they make sense.  Which... isn't really exactly the same thing.  Just similar.

...I think I'll stick to guessing though.   Guess can be fun. Sometimes.
