Testing Waters: Is anyone interested in playing this game?

[boredelmo]

Oh yes it's me again bored at work. Thinking of silly games to play and whatnot.

This one has been in my head, but I have been pretty unmotivated to post it because it might be a sensitive subject for many tinfoil hat types.

Premise of the Game:

1. Post a picture of yourself, maybe from many angles.
2. You must have at least ONE tell tale clue (details below)
3. Users will try to guess if you are in fact carrying or not.
4. Users will also try to guess what type of weapon and method of carry.

This might be VERY difficult since we're all ninjas and conceal weapons very well.

To try to even out the odds, I suppose I could suggest that you post a carry in which you feel most afraid of being made in.

Also this could be a great way to figure out if the new holster/firearm you bought conceals as well as you'd like.

the ONE tell tale clue:
-It can be in the picture (5.11 pants, type of belt, a small flash of a holster/mag)
-It can be written along with your post (ex. It's not in my waistband, There is def a gun on my person, etc)

Again, this is just for fun and a feeler thread, if theres not enough interest or if any mods find this inappropriate, please feel free to lock.

THE GOAL OF THE GAME is for users to be able to figure how/what you're carrying, NOT to conceal so well that no one will ever guess.

Sounds interesting. Not too concerned about anonymity - unless you're concealing under your combover, you can use MSPaint (or Gimp) to color over your face.

I'd play, but I don't have a camera

Actually sounds fun. I frequently do this. I prepare for going out, then ask my daughter, "Am I carrying?"

She usually cannot say.

Wait, I was just reading back through that, and have a question.

You say that you have to post a telltale. But you say in #3 that players will have to guess if you're carrying or not. So, if you're not carrying, what's the point of a telltale clue? Unless you don't have a telltale clue, in which case you're telling you're not carrying, so what's the point?

I'm confused. Either you need to clarify, or I need to not read this at 0400, or both.

And I need a digital camera. I might borrow one from my Mother-in-law to be...now how to explain it to her.....hrmmm

DAMN, I thought I was going to do something productive tomorrow while on vacation for the rest of the year...and hear you go and post something like this!

BlackBearME:

If you aren't carrying, your tell tale clue can be something related to the fact that you aren't carrying. Say the lump in your front pocket is a pocket knife and not a pocket carried weapon, flash the clip.

Feel free to stick other objects you wouldnt normally carry, just to trip people up a bit for fun, D cell maglite, a banana, etc.

Is this the thread for the game or will there be another? I have a cool idea...

 

[Big Boomer]

well are you going to launch the official "Am I carrying or not?" thread?
