The rousing game of PAG inspired me to post a game that I used to play on occasion, called the Solipsism Game. The rules are, in order of importance where applicable 😉:
1. I am the judge/deity/master of time, space, and dimension.
2. The first person to post is the Contestant. In his/her/its first post, the Contestant must assert 'I exist', and then clarify if they so desire.
3. Others may jump in and contradict this, presenting the best opposition they can. The Contestant will do well to refute these arguments in any way he/she/it chooses.
4. I assign points in a manner I decide (see Rule 1 for details).
5. The games ends at some point.
6. The person with either the most or the least points wins according to the scoring methods that are known only to me. So if at some point I mention that your score is -871, you need not necessarily try and increase it, because a lower score could possibly be desirable.
7. If the Contestant wins, then he/she/it may be comfortable in the gurantee of existence. If someone else wins, a good taunting of the Contestant is in order.
Who starts?

A Chairman Slash God named "Hold the Mayo tuss tongue" with a Royalty Complex
DOOMED, I SAY.
Ok.
I exist, but nobody else does. If I want to, i'll pretend that you do, so that i'm not lonely... it's not easy being the sole inhabitant in this particular universe.
😛😕

Originally posted by royalchickenYour score keeping leaves a lot to be desired, you know. But this is always the way of it isn't it. You playing the part of the young, intelligent guy and me as the surrly antagonist. Someday, I swear, I'm going to make you take this role. It's not as easy as you think. Always knowing what the final score will be... thanks to you.
We need more people jumping on the Contestant, assuming he exists. Currently, the score is:
StarValleyWy: 2
ChessNut: 5
Originally posted by royalchickenAt least this game is a little more subtle than the "God - Devil" thing we usually play. The "Mechanistic" thing is really starting to bore me. Still... cliche i suppose ... Maybe there really isn't anything new? You slipped up as designating yourself "God" in this run through, you know. All of our games are more subtle than that... but if it adds interest? That is the only enemy. Boredom.
For veering from the topic, but subtly staying on his original point, I reward StarValleyWy the Emoticon - Free - Not - Quite - Sure - If - It's-Serious Award of 1 point.

Originally posted by royalchickenThe "physical this" and "physical that" crap. I know you are just playing the game, but sometimes i just want to stop all the pretense and let it die a natural death. I remember before though. This is better, even if i have to have you say things like... "Sorry? I'm Afraid I don't Follow..." . This game is a run-away victory for me you know. Even you as "god" have fallen out of character twice. I don't think i have yet.
Which "mechanistic" thing? Sorry? I'm afraid I don't follow....
Originally posted by royalchickenInsubordination!? My, my, my... ain't I being difficult today? That does hold some possiblilities in this game. We'll see. Am I enjoying this yet? That is the purpose and the point of it all you know?
Score currently:
ChessNut: 5
Fallen Angel: 0
StarValleyWy: whatever he wants - 32 points for insubordination
You will pretend to "Do A Favor" for RC... You will say... "The things I do for you RC." After I point out your forced three posts, all at my whim, you will repeat under the guise of self control. By the way, I'll also have you post to 4, just for the hell of it. I don't play games. This is all I have. Lonely. Alone.
