Hey, so today I went to the doctor and found out I have another EAR INFECTIoNNNNN. I'm annoyed because I've had around 2-4 previously in my life, and they're not fun. So the idea for this game just kind of sprung to life in my head!
Basically, when you reply to the thread, you inherit an Ear Infection. The only way to get rid of your EI (short for Ear Infection) is to come up with a joke about ears or infections (infections caused by an untreated stab wound, for example, can be used here).
If someone else replies to the thread, one of two things will happen:
1: The response will say "I have an ear infection too!" which means that the joke worked. If you thought that the most recent joke was smart or funny in any way, please respect the game by replying to the thread in this manner. If this happens, the person who had the infection is now cured and the responder is now infected.
2: The response, if the above statement is not valid (the joke isn't funny or smart), will say "I'll call a doctor." The person who responded will then tag someone in their response. The tagger is not infected. The person who is tagged is now the doctor. They can do one of these two things to heal the infected player:
A: The doctor can cure the infected player by either fixing the failed joke or creating a new one.
B: The doctor can transfer the EI (ear infection) from the infected player to their own body.
A joke is NOT required for this treatment, but the doctor now has an EI and must make a joke to pass it on.
IF the doctor uses Treatment A to cure the infected player, resulting in no infections whatsoever, the doctor must wait for another player to judge the joke. If the joke is deemed good, the above player is healed and the responder must tag a new player to become infected. If the joke is deemed bad, the doctor is infected, thus REMOVING THE INFECTION FROM THE PATIENT. THE DOCTOR IS NOW INFECTED. They must now make a joke to pass on their infection.
IF a responder is unable to come up with a good joke, they must call a doctor.
IF a doctor completes their duties (cures, transfers, or makes a bad joke and receives the infection), the doctor is no longer the doctor, and they now behave like a normal player. (Which means that if they are infected, they need to make a joke to pass on the infection; if they don't have the infection, they wait for someone else to be infected and the game continues normally.)
I know it's a bit complicated, but the idea just sprang into my head a while ago and I decided to put it to good use! Let me know if you enjoy the game. Feel free to ask me any questions about it if you need help; if you do, please place "Inactive player" at the top of your post.
I'll start us off (remember, don't place a joke unless you're supposed to!):
I have an ear infection! (literally -.-)
Emviar: Why do you need to be quiet in a cornfield at night?
Teamplayer: I don't know; why?
Emviar: Because, collectively, the field has thousands of ears! It'll hear you!
okay, that makes me cringe, but we'll go with it
someone either say, "I have an ear infection too!" to remove my misery or call a doctor if my joke was bad
