For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

The name of the game is Tuesday! I will keep track of points. Here's how you play:
The game is played by throwing a ball back and forth between players as hard as possible. Each post is a throw, and you have to post who you throw it to. After the throw, the player has to say a random phrase. If the phrase contains the secret word for the round, you automatically win the round. I will PM the secret word to a specific PPTer to make sure I am not cheating. Players can play dirty and push the ball out of players hands, or push the player over before they catch it, ya know, stuff like that. You have to post if you push the person or so on, before the person you are going to push posts. If you get pushed, you cannot post for 10 minutes after that push. Each push sometimes is not successful. Before each round you have to PM me your secret number. This number will decide if you can get pushed or not. The person that wants to push you has to say a number between 1-20. If they are right, I will tell them, and the push will be successful. If they are wrong they cannot push you, and get frozen from posting for 30 minutes. If they are right, you get frozen from doing anything for 30 minutes, and have to PM me a new secret number before they can post again. The same rules will go if you want to knock some one over with your throw. The number will be the same as your number for pushing, except you will only be frozen for 10 minutes. The same goes for the thrower if they get the number wrong. A round will go from 3:30:00 pm NST to 5:00:00 pm.
-10 points = Fail to knock over someone. + 10 minute frozen time.
-10 points = Get sucessfully knocked over. + 10 minute frozen time.
20 points = Knock person you throw it to over.
5 points = You catch ball.
5 points = Each successful push.
10 extra points = for any post on tuesday. You cannot get multiple extra points for posts on Tuesday.
-10 = Each time you get successfully pushed. + 30 minute frozen time.
-10 = Each time you fail a push. + 30 minute frozen time.
This is how a round might go:
Tom: *throws to Bob* random phrase: My potato is being eaten by an anteater.
Sue: Attempt to push Bob: *8* random phrase: Penguins are the spawn of satan.
Captain of Game: The secret number for Bob is not 8. Freezes Sue for 30 minutes.
Bob: *catches ball* *throws to Mary* Attempt to knock Mary over with ball: *3* random phrase: Beans go good with an Asian Burrito.
Captain of Game: The secret number for Mary is 3. Mary is frozen for 10 minutes. Mary needs to PM me with new number. *throws ball back to Bob*
Bob: *throws ball to Jim* random phrase: The baseball bats do no make good rat stew.
Captain Of Game: End Of Round.
Please post here If you want to play. I would like some feedback on the game aswell. Tell me If you like it, or what needs to be changed.
