Here’s a simple game to play; we’re going to come up with a way to get more clicks for BB by mashing up titles of articles! Every day, you pick two articles to mash up, and combine the titles in to a unique new title. Each person in this thread gets one “like” per day to give to one of the titles (no cheating!) and at the end of the week we tally the likes and see who had the best combined score from their five titles. Winner gets a fistfull of likes!
Rules:
One post per day maximum.
Must combine two (and only two) titles from articles of that day
Must be a unique title (can use the same articles as someone else,
but must combine differently)
Titles should link to articles
Every player must “like” one other title every day
People who don’t submit a title can still vote/like, but only once
per day
Voting is open for at least 24 hours, later depending on when I check the board.
Game runs Monday to Friday this week
Scores are added up Saturday at noon for final score
Perhaps the votes should be tallied every 3 days instead of each day? It seems a little silly to have won with only two votes…
Also the requirement of Liking another post from the same day is a little tricky – I had liked something upthread, but see now that I should have liked something from the same day. Yet when you’re the second person to post that day, you’re a bit stuck.
Maybe until the ball gets rolling a little faster the windows should be open a little wider.
Yeah, those are good points. I think the lack of players/likers skews things. Maybe if it takes off more it’ll work better. I thought the idea of closing the voting the next day made sense so that people didn’t confuse one day’s entry with another, but I see now that doesn’t work exactly as I’d hoped. Hey, it’s all an experiment. At the end of the week we’ll figure out what went wrong and fix it for version 2.0.
