Okay I've played this game somewhere else and it can be fun when you get used to it and eventually figure it out (most of you are smart so it won't take you long but I, being the slow-mo I am, took AGES to figure it out - it's not even difficult).

So what you do is ... You write something about the person above you (which I can't do because there's no-one above me but for the example, imagine there was...). You would set it out like this;

^^^ Plays the flute.

Then you would write something about yourself, like this;

<<< Plays the oboe!

And then you would write something about the person below you (but you obviously have to guess because you don't know who the person below is, so you just write something, anything) like this;

v v v Ate spaghetti bolognese for their dinner last night.

Okay okay those aren't terribly good examples but hey ... So you would set it out like this;

^^^ Plays the flute.
<<< Plays the oboe!
v v v Ate spaghetti bolognese for their dinner last night.


And then the next person would say whether the last thing that the person said was right or not, for example;

^^^ No I did not eat spaghetti bolognese last night - I had chicken and ham pie.
<<< Is feeling very sad.
v v v Is doing their grade VII in November.


Etc. etc.

Do you get it?

Okay let's have a go now then ... I'll go first.

--------------------------------------------------


^^^ No-one above me ...
<<< Is meant to be revising...
v v v Plays the violin.

Darn it! Can somebody move this to the 'Games Zone' thing? I've only just realised that's there - holy peanuts, after a month!? Okay ...
