Game On

Up for playing the only blog game that shamelessly encourages you to lie to your friends and family? Get your lies ready because the fourth installment of Obfuscation takes place on Friday, August 18th.

Quick background:
I said to a friend a few years back that I really felt as if I knew certain bloggers really well simply from reading their blogs and vice versa. That made me wonder just how well you get to know someone from reading their daily musings. Would readers, when asked to choose what’s real and what’s fake, be able to figure out the truth based on what they’ve gotten to know about a person from his/her blog? I wanted to find out and so the game was born.

The Details:
On Friday, August 18, 2006 you’ll post 3 stories.

• Two false and one true or
• Two true and one false

Readers have to pick the false story(ies), leaving their guess in the comments. (Make sure you let them know which version of the game you’re playing.)

On Monday, Ausgut 21, 2006 you’ll post the correct response.

The stories can be as crazy as you want them to be. But you want to make them all believable enough that the reader has to give the game a little thought.

So, play along. Use the button above to get the word out if you like. (Please download and copy to your own server.)

The Payoff:
It’s just about having some fun. Does it get better than that?

Miscellaneous:
If you’re playing, leave a comment and I’ll compile a list of players.
